Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film. We are always looking for new members! Join us today!

I think a few articles with the same information but slightly different title should be merged to this one, as it is the proper name for the film -- Corey.spring 00:07, August 20, 2005 (UTC)

Just merged The Pick of Destiny with this one... --Johnnyw 23:26, August 29, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Stolen Plot Summary

The plot summary written in this section is a barely paraphrased copy of the Ain't It Cool News review of the movie (viewable here. Yes, it does "source" the article, but it is not usually common Wikipedia practice to have such a blatant ripoff.

Or maybe I'm just being anal. Thoughts? jopari

No, you’re not being anal. It’s a copyright violation, whether cited or not. Thanks for pointing it out. It’s a shame no one noticed it sooner. --Rob Kennedy 07:11, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Luckily I submitted my own plot summary, which, though rather lengthy, is original. Too bad it wasn't left on the wiki-page... AceOHearts 13:02, 29 November 2006 (UTC)AceOHearts

[edit] Release Date

Just a bit confused about the release date, article says 14th Nov but infobox says 22nd. Can anyone clear this up? Thanks EJaY 19:58, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

The album is released November 14, the movie starts November 17, but us here in Australia have to wait until the 27th DAMN MY LOCATION hope that helps Tenacious Nick 21:50 25 October 2006

Damn, in Perth the cinemas have it scheduled for January! Metao 02:33, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Soundtrack track listing

I think the track listing for the soundtracks should not be in this article since it is already in the soundtrack's article, which is linked on this page. What are others opinions on the matter? Joltman 17:38, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sasquatch reference

The reference to Sasquatch is not from the Spider-Man song. There are many different versions of their Spider-Man cover in which Spider-Man faces off against various people (depending on what version you hear). Furthermore, Tenacious D has a song about Sasquatch himself and is even featured in the episode of their television series entitled Death of a Dream. Carface 23:13, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia?

An interesting point that could be included in the article under trivia or some other title is that the devil during his solo in the rockoff uses a guitar that is notably similar to Dimebag Darrels ML Dean, its got the the same shape, lightning bolts and everything. Im not going to do it since having one little point isnt worth (IMO) making a whole header in the article. \m/ The Ravager 17:41, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Why the movie failed

1.) Up against Borat 2.) It sucked. 3.) Jack Black isn't funny as his fans think he is.

Congrats, Loser. No one cares what you think. The movie was fine from a general view.

It's typical for a JB fan to think that way. Most audiences thought the movie sucked. Thus it bombed. Bong of destiny indeed. 24.60.163.16 16:58, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Indeed, you've given three reasons as to why YOU think the movie "failed". Remember, if you can, this is an encyclopedia, and is only interested in FACTS or what industry experts have to say about the film. You have given us neither. PowderedToastMan 03:48, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Who cares what industry experts have to say about the film? What gives thier opinions priviledge? The movie has failed with audiences. It a bomb that fizzled when it flopped. 24.60.163.16 16:58, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

"1.) Up against Borat 2.) It sucked. 3.) Jack Black isn't funny as his fans think he is."

someone sure thinks highly of THEIR opinion huh?

anyway? can we really say they DEFEATED the devil? I mean he was going to take K.G. back to Hell but J.B. deflected his blow, I don't think their jam was as good but I think that was the point.

Eh, this will probably become a cult hit anyway. Schizmatic 23:16, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Like Tron? 24.60.163.16 16:58, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Someone's missing the point of the talk pages. Did he really come here thinking we'd devote a section to how he thought the movie "sucked" in an encyclopedic article, or did he just want to start a fight?--Agent Aquamarine 23:37, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Here is why it failed!

Most people i've talked to said that the preview was lame (i agree, it wasn't funny). Based on that, many people avoided seeing it. They shouldn't have because it was actually pretty funny!

My personal opinion of why people think poorly of this film is because so much of it is sung that you need to be attuned to the lyrics of Tenacious D to get the full benefit of the film. Id rather watch this again than borat.--Pypex 23:22, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
