The Movie of Dick Figures, and quite a big damn one at that.
The film follows Vitriolic Best Buds Red and Blue as Pink's birthday comes around. Blue wants to give her the most romantic gift he can find, so the Raccoon sends him and Red on a journey to find the Greatest Sword of Destiny. As the reward for bringing the sword to him will be the "best gift ever", this sends them on a journey filled with explosions, chicks, car chases, and evil ninja armies that puts their lives — and their friendship — to the ultimate test.
The film was successfully Kickstarted in July 2012 (raising $313,411, over $50,000 more than its goal), funding 72 minutes of film duration. It was released in September 2013 for purchase on YouTube, Google Play, Amazon, iTunes, and the website of Mondo Media, who distributed the original series. It was later released in December for DVD and Blu-ray in the USA, and eventually made available for free public viewing by being uploaded to YouTube in twelve parts.
The film demonstrates the following tropes:
- The Alcoholic: Red, Stacey, and Col. Crookygrin.
- Alien Blood: Ocho Muerte's blood is green.
- Archnemesis Dad: Lord Takagami was the Raccoon's dad the whole time.
- Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: In this case, the 50-foot Ocho Muerte.
- Badass Biker: Red's got some motorcycle skills.
- Big Damn Movie: Undoubtedly has a more intense, actionized plot than the normal fare of the show.
- Big "NO!": Red does two after he realizes the island he and Blue left was either Boobie Island or Burrito Island.
- Big Word Shout: "IMPOSSIBRRUUUUUUUUUUU!"
- Big "WHAT?!": Blue when he finds out that Red only saved him from the bullies to impress the chicks.
- Bilingual Bonus: The two words on Lord Tachigami's helmet literally translates to "Irrigation" (according to the comments, it means "douche"). Also, the word on the Great Sword of Destiny translates to "life" or "destiny" depending on how you read it.
- Book Ends: Near the start of the movie, Young Red says "Cuz I'm awesome!" and he and Young Blue high-five. The older versions of them do the same at the end, this time with Red saying "Cuz we're awesome!"
- Butt-Monkey: Red still ends up dragging Blue into parties and other stuff against his will.
- Call-Back:
- Broseph remembers Red as the Freshman 15 guy who banged fifteen freshmen chicks in college
. Cue snippet from video with Red banging his first four chicks. - Also, the Ocho Muerte is back. It's way bigger now, and it's got one hell of a set of teeth.

- Dark and Troubled Past: Raccoon. His own father betrays Japan and becomes a demonic warmonger, forcing Raccoon to slay him, his family is eaten alive by his father's pet demon octopus, and in the end, he's blamed entirely for the death and destruction his father caused and is forced to leave Japan in disgrace.

- Genre-Busting: It's an action-comedy with elements of drama, fantasy, and monster.
- Giant Wall of Watery Doom: Blue and Red run into one in the water that knocks both of them out.
- Guns Are Worthless: Inverted, as lots of bad guys use these to try and defeat Red and Blue (they obviously fail to do so), and this is the only reason why Red thinks cops are scarier than demons.
- Gut Punch: Red admitting to Blue that he only saved him from school bullies to impress the girls (not for Blue).

- Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy: The bad guys in this movie graduated summa cum laude.
- They failed to hit Red on a motorcycle, even when he was going in a straight direction and was kind of an easy target.
- Improbable Weapon: Lord Tourettes fights a bad guy using...an accordion. It actually works.
- Instant Awesome: Just Add Mecha!: There's one in the background fighting a kaiju when Red and Blue go to Japan.

serious extents after Red and Blue escape the Takagami ninjas temporarily. While they sail away on a boat, after a while Blue realizes that Red had only saved him from the bullies on his first day of school to impress the ladies, and wasn't actually his friend. Blue doesn't take it very lightly. - More Dakka: Lord Tourettes deploys a minigun from a helicopter and uses it to gun down a lot of enemies.

- Punctuated! For! Emphasis!: "FUCK. YOU!" (Blue to Red)
- The Reveal: Red actually saved Blue from the bullies back in their youth to impress the ladies, not for Blue. And the only reason he's stuck with him throughout the series is because Blue's the only one naive enough to keep putting up with Red's behavior. That means they were never actually "friends" to begin with. Blue is understandably pissed.
- Sir Swears-a-Lot: Pretty much everyone. As usual, hats go off to Lord Tourettes.
- Scare Chord: After Red and Blue realize that Col. Crookygrin is actually looking for them. Luckily, his alcoholism renders him blind for the time being.
