Todd Phillips began as the film's director but departed due to "creative differences" and was replaced by Larry Charles.
Police were reportedly called ninety-two times on Sacha Baron Cohen and the crew during the film's production. The FBI also assigned a team to investigate reports of a Middle-Eastern man travelling westwards across the US.
Pamela Anderson was 'in' on her scenes, but her bodyguards were not aware of the set-up and their protective reaction to Borat's behaviour is thus real.
Borat's 'Kazakh' is in fact a mixture of Hebrew and nonsense, with occasional phrases from Polish. Likewise, Azamat's 'Kazakh' is Armenian.
