Trey and Matt said that scenes they had to cut from the movie would be recycled in the series. Here's one instance a scene appears in both: the kids coming up over a hill in the playground for the fight between Tweek and Craig is similar to one where La Resistance comes up over a hill in the heat of battle in the movie.

(The complete plot for this South Park Episode)


The episode starts with the boys in their first day of wood shop class. Mr. Adler, their teacher, insists that the students do not "screw around". They are also asked who the biggest troublemaker in their class is. Stan and Kyle claim that Tweek is, while Cartman argues that it is Craig. To settle the dispute Stan, Kyle, and Cartman make a bet over who would win a fight between Tweek and Craig. The boys set off tension between Tweek and Craig, and they agree to fight after school.
Meanwhile, we see Mr. Adler dealing with troubling memories of a deceased lover every time he looks at a photo of her. To deal with the memories, he consumes great amounts of nicotine gum. Later, it is revealed that she was a pilot whose plane exploded in mid-air and crashed into the ocean, where she drowned. The flashbacks are depicted in live action by South Park assistant writer Pam Brady.
In time of the fight, Clyde then tells everyone that both Tweek and Craig went home. When Stan and Kyle go to Tweek's house to see why he went home, Tweek explains that he had no reason to fight Craig. Eager to settle the bet, Stan and Kyle tells Tweek that Craig did show up to fight but degraded him instead. Meanwhile, Cartman and Kenny convince Craig to reschedule the fight as well. The next day, when the fight between Craig and Tweek is about to take place, it is revealed that neither know how to fight; and the battle is postponed once again until they learn how to fight. Craig gets to learn martial arts with the aid of Cartman who considers sumo as a future career. Tweek is taught to box by Stan's uncle Jimbo and his friend Ned.
Throughout the episode, Kenny has not been attending shop class, but home economics. Kenny is told to transfer to shop class by the teacher with the claim that home ec is not "right for him" and he will most likely not find a husband. Although terrified at the thought of being around all the tools, Kenny has no choice.
The school day ends and Tweek and Craig finally start the long-awaited fight. Meanwhile, in his shop class, Mr. Adler writes a suicide note explaining he cannot cope with his fiancée's death and that he has run out of nicotine gum. He then gets on the slowly moving table saw feet first and awaits his death. He then gets up and shouts "What was I thinking!" then repositions himself to go headfirst and says "That would have hurt like hell!" Kenny comes in to the shop classroom since he has been transferred and Mr. Adler put him to work on the jigsaw. Tweek and Craig then fly through the shop classroom window, still fighting. Mr. Adler climbs down from the table saw and demands to know what is going on. Tweek and Craig knock the stool out from underneath Kenny, and Kenny hangs on the saw machine. Tweek slams Craig into a second saw which knocks over the one Kenny is on. Kenny's jacket is caught by the blade, and he is spun around and then flies into a box of old, rusty, sharp nails.
When Mr. Adler picks up Kenny's body, his fiancee talks to him through Kenny, telling him to move on. Mr. Adler says he can, and hugs Kenny. Stan then delivers the familiar phrase, "Dude, this is pretty fucked up right here." They then go to the hospital to visit Tweek and Craig to tell them about the bet. They then tell Tweek and Craig that each boy's family called the other's wusses on the news, which revitalizes the fight.
