    In the film This Film Is Not Yet Rated (2006), Matt Stone claims that the original idea for Cartman's mother's internet video was her having sex with a horse (though this would not be shown on screen). Although an image of a man having sex with a horse appears at one point in the film (while Dr. Vosknocker tries to get Cartman to swear and one of his flash cards reads "horse fucker"), the Motion Picture Association (MPA) would not allow it because of bestiality. When Stone and Trey Parker decided to shoot an internet video of a German man defecating on Cartman's mother, the MPAA approved it.

    It is a widely reported myth that the film's original title was "South Park: All Hell Breaks Loose" and that the Motion Picture Association (MPA) forced Trey Parker and Matt Stone to change it by stating that all film titles had to be G-rated (even though many films contain the word "hell" in their titles — Hellraiser (1987), Hellfighters (1968), From Hell (2001), etc.). The story comes directly from Parker and Stone, who claim they submitted the film under its original title and were made to change it. MPAA spokesman Richard Taylor denies that any film was submitted with that title and that the MPAA rejected the use of the word "hell" in a title.

A true sequel to South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut (1999) was said to be planned as late as 2011, but nothing came of it.
