Other mistake: After Bruno and Lutz had been arrested and are outside the police station arguing, in the background in the left corner, there is a gold Ford Mustang. Then as Lutz is walking away, the same gold Ford Mustang is seen driving in to park in that same place.
Bruno (2009)
Directed by: Larry Charles
Starring: Sacha Baron Cohen, Chibundu Orukwowu, Clifford Banagale, Gustaf Hammarsten
Genres: Comedy
Continuity mistake: In the diner scene where Bruno commits "carbicide" the exterior light goes from night to day then back to night.
Character mistake: When Bruno is picking up baby OJ, on the subtitles it says '13 pounds of black gold' whereas Bruno says 'vierzehn' which, in German means 14, not 13.
Bruno: How do you defend yourself against a man with a dildo?
Question: Why wasn't Sacha Baron Cohen arrested for secretly filming people having sex without their permission? Also, what was up with the scene where the camper knocks the camera over? Did he realise what was going on? What happened after?
Answer: This is not a hidden camera movie. Everyone filmed believes they are being filmed for a documentary. So the swingers knew they were going to be filmed, but didn't know the shenanigans SBC was going to pull. The camper dude probably started realizing there was something weird going on and got mad that he was being made fun of, so knocked over the camera.
Question: Can anybody tell me the name of the actor who portrayed O.J, what scenes involving him, if any, used a stunt double, and if not, any child safety or labour laws that could have been broken during the making of this film?
Answer: O.J. was played by twins Chibundu and Chigozie Orukwowu. No information is available on which scenes, if any, used some sort of double. As for the legal aspects, any major film production of this type will have legal experts on staff who will be more than capable of keeping the production safely within the law. So if you were planning on some righteous indignation, you're probably out of luck.

Chosen answer: The MPAA's rating guidelines are all over the place, and tone and context matter. The scene in question appears to be real, but there's not really anything explicit shown, and since it's all played for laughs, the MPAA was probably more lenient on it.
