Guerilla Camera Prank Movies
Are there any others other than Borat, Bruno and Bad Grandpa ?
I love these kind of movies if they are done right !
Surely there must be some others

I like both Borat and Bruno. Bad Grandpa had its moments but not quite as good
They aren't high art, but are good fun to watch and you have to admire the balls on the performers

Maybe I'm too cynical, but in the majority of these movies, the "unaware public" seems very staged to me. I have a hard time believing production doesn't place their own people in to react to the pranks in order to sweeten the comedy. I could be wrong, there is no way of knowing for sure.
There is an older Allen Funt movie called What Would You Say To A Naked Lady, that has some interesting pranks/socialogical experiments.

There was the Borat prank that had those college guys take them to court since they were drunk at the time when they signed the waivers. So some are legit.

It's not a movie, but trigger happy TV has always been my favorite. U.S. is too litigious. All the of pranks seems tame when they're all constructed to avoid lawsuits. You gotta get out of the U.S. to get some real good shows.

I've seen some Brazilian and Japanese prank shows on Youtube that ain't hardly bullshitting when it comes to scares. Stuff that would never be allowed in the U.S.
