Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny is a 2006 New Line Cinema film, directed by Liam Lynch.

Jack Black, protagonist and writer of The Pick of Destiny, spoke to Entertainment Weekly in November 2005 and stated ”It tested really well except for the ending, which was a little turdy, we have to go back and make it more kick-ass."[1] The film would finally release in November 2006.[2]

In February 2007, the film would be released to DVD, though despite two menus of deleted and alternate endings, the original ending does not appear on the disc.[3] Sometime in 2005 or 2006, Access Hollywood filmed behind-the-scenes material on-set of Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny, one of these is Black and Kyle Gass (the other protagonist) performing "Rock Your Socks" on stage as Tenacious D.[4] Notably, they are wearing the costumes they wore towards the end of the movie, meaning this is very likely to be the cut ending.
