most extreme elimination challenge 

A long time ago (I believe the 80s) there was a game show in Japan called Takehashi's Castle. 100 people would try to take over a castle, but to get to it they'd have to go through obstacles, most of which were extremely dangerous and extreme, and if you lost the game you were eliminated.

Years later, Spike TV took the show and turned it into a show called Most Extreme Elimination Challenge, or MXC. They dubbed it badly with funny, often perverted commentary by the two host Vic Romano and Ken Blankenship, and edited out the prizes and things like that.
Break your neck, win a toaster!

"What do we always say? DON'T GET ELIMINATED!"

metrosexual 

A straight male who has a feminine side (especially caring about appearances). It used to be that when a man acted like this, people thought he was homosexual.
I used to find it sad that any man with some nice traits like dressing well or being able to cook was considered homosexual, but now I know he's metrosexual.

Los Angeles 

A city in California, famous for Hollywood.

My Opinion:
I have only spent a few days in Los Angeles in my life, so I don't pretend to have an opinion on it (and you shouldn't pretend you know so much either unless you have lived there), but a lot of people hate this city. I find this sad because they assume the rest of California is also bad, and California is a wonderful state which I lived in for years.
The movie was made in Los Angeles, California.
