Trivia:
The movie was originally titled "Alferd Packer: The Musical." Lloyd Kaufman, owner of Troma, convinced Trey Parker to change the title to "Cannibal: The Musical" because, though Packer is well-known in Colorado, very few outside of the state know who he is. more
Goofs:
Crew or equipment visible: When Alfred Packer is running from the crowd from the bar, there is a clear, visible line in the sand where he is supposed to run. more
Quotes:

Title Card: The film you are about to see was originally released in 1954. Upstaged by the overwhelming popularity of "Oklahoma!", it's short lived theater run was canceled, and "Alfred Packer: The Musical" soon fell into obscurity. The original negative, re-discovered just last year, has been painstakingly restored using state-of-the-art color enhancing and computer reconstruction technology. The film's violent scenes have been edited out for your viewing pleasure.

The perfect independent film!, 2 April 2004
10/10
Author: jellyneckr

I didn't expect for ALFERD PACKER: THE MUSICAL to be that good since Troma movies are usually pretty bad. Boy, was I wrong. The movie was way better than the anything I had seen in a while. Featuring some of the most outrageous, crude, and funniest scenes in history, ALFERD PACKER: THE MUSICAL is the perfect independent film.

Made in 1993 by Trey Parker while he was still in college, the movie tells the story of Alferd Packer, Colorado's only convicted cannibal. Packer is played brilliantly by Trey Parker in what is his funniest performance to date. The guy is a genius. From ALFERD PACKER: THE MUSICAL to ORGAZMO to SOUTH PARK: BIGGER LONGER & UNCUT, Parker has proved to be one of America's most underrated comedy directors.

10/10
