Tenacious D in: The Pick of Destiny

Jack Black and band-buddy Kyle Gass poke some fun at old legends about the Devil being responsible for superior guitar playing. They are two struggling musicians, who learn of the existence of a guitar pick, allegedly made from the Devil's tooth, which will enable them to become superior guitarists. So they set about trying to steal it, but the Devil himself wants it back... Expect a lot of profanity.
