While I am not the biggest Jackass fan in the world, I must admit I do like to turn my brain off once in awhile and enjoy the sheer stupidity of these guys.

This is what you should expect from this movie:
Old woman tits
Old man balls
Horse shit
Horse cum
Fart mask
Medicine Ball Dodgeball
Cobras
Anacondas
Penises
Snakes on a Penis
Rockets
Explosions
Terrorists

My favorite parts are actually not so much the blood, pain and vomiting, but the sequences where Johnny Knoxville and gang dress up as old people messing with random people on the street. I could watch that for 2 hours and not get bored.

If you liked the first Jackass, this one is better.

4 out of 5 stars

My review of the theater can be found here.

Thanks for inviting me....jerk. [evil]

I used to hate this kind of stuff, but after watching viva la bam I've started to like the other guys. They guy that rollerblades in the speedos is too funny.

Posted by Brad Miller (Member # 2) on 09-15-2006, 03:35 PM:

Sorry Chris, but since Will Ferrell wasn't in it, I naturally assumed you wouldn't have any interest in seeing it.

Posted by Chris Hipp (Member # 1788) on 09-15-2006, 03:44 PM:

No worries. Will Ferrell does have a new movie coming out next month so I have been putting it on every movie I can.

Thank god we have start timers!

What is the point, bound to be crap, we even have a bloody Welsh version-I'd rather iron my balls to a gnu (without the cameras being present of course!)

Is it weird that I thought the song and dance routine near the end was the most enjoyable part? I find the gross stuff unenjoyable, but the practical jokes they play on each other are funny. Does anyone know what the "actors" got paid for this movie?

Posted by Alex Grueneberg (Member # 2652) on 09-22-2006, 10:47 PM:

The gross stuff just got plain weird towards the end, nor do I much care for it. The practical joke stuff was great though.

Side note: no problems with my prints sound mix. Format was DTS.

2/5

This is horrible...but it's really, really funny. Recommended for anyone with a strong stomach who wants some mindless entertainment.

Posted by Chris Hipp (Member # 1788) on 09-24-2006, 09:18 PM:

I've seen about half of it, just watching it through the port window and it is pretty funny. I like the scene where they switch Phil with that other fat guy. The guy from Broken Lizard comedy group's, who is sometimes credited as Broken Lizard, appearance in his legitimate role is pretty funny too.

Edited so Jeremy Jorgenson can sleep again.

Is there really that much puke? I have a real problem with seeing puke...odd phobia. Anyway, my bf is trying to get me to go but it might be too much. Someone who's seen it? Anyone? =)

I wish Johnny Depp would come out with a movie so I could replace them with something good!

After watching parts of this, the only thing that came to mind was:

"We're a doomed race."

Checked out Jackass 2 last night.

The show was really funny, and in some ways it topped the original. Johnny Knoxville and his gang at least "pushed the envelope" on what was possible in stunts that are either really painful or very disgusting. However, the novelty behind the stunts has worn off a little.

The cattle stampede in the opening titles was pretty cool -done in slow motion with Ennio Morricone's music from the climax of The Good, The Bad & The Ugly. That's one of my favorite pieces of movie music.

I thought I was going to gag and wretch in between laughs during the fart mask skit and the scene with the horse.

Johnny Knoxville must be certifiably insane to allow an anaconda to bite him not just once but multiple times.

There is one central reason why I enjoy watching Jackass and its spin-off shows. Those guys regularly make themselves the butt of their own jokes. They love dishing out mayhem on others, but know out of fairness they must receive it too.

Just about all of the audience sat through the credit run to see all kinds of outtakes and stunts not used in the movie.

My only complaint about the movie: what's up with the screwed up DTS logo on the very end of the credits? It looks like the bullshit fake version carried on the "brands of the world" website.

On the technical end of things, the image quality was not very good and not meant to be very good either. Much of it was shot on video. There was more in the way of surround effects this time than what was mixed in the first Jackass movie. But it's not something you'll use to demo the full capability of a sound system.

Overall: 3.3 stars out of 4.

This movie and its stunts are simply not hardcore enough. These guys are wimps. I want to see stunts like them taking hedge trimmers and chopping off their own toes one by one and see who screams out in pain first. But these guys are way too pansie-ass to do such a thing. Other stunts should include removing ther own appendix, swallowing angry wasps whole, drinking a quart of premium unleaded gasoline and then swallowing a match, shooting each other with UZIs to see who can endure the most bullets before dying, a contest to see who can light the most random senior citizens on fire, driving drunk in a school zone as school lets out, seeing who can jack off more horses than Tom Green and swallow the cum, sex with porcupines, drinking each other's vomit, wife beating, beating each other with the severed limbs of children, insulting Muslims, peeing in each other's mouths, pooping in each other's mouths, eating freshly aborted human fetuses, and bashing their faces against a brick wall as hard as possible again and again for no reason whatsoever. This is obviously what America wants to see based on the previous 2 Jackass movies, but these guys don't have the balls to do it. What a bunch of fucking pussies.

Posted by Mike Blakesley (Member # 26) on 09-26-2006, 12:22 PM:

The previous "2" Jackass movies?

Also - Daffy Duck did the whole bit of swallowing gasoline followed by a lit match back in the 1950s, so yeah, these guys are seriously behind the times.

Posted by Adam Martin (Member # 641) on 09-26-2006, 02:58 PM:

Sweet Jesus,™ Joe. I'd go see that. [Razz]

(Sweet Jesus™ is a trademark of Jason Black.)

Posted by Chris Hipp (Member # 1788) on 09-26-2006, 04:02 PM:

Joe, I've sent an email to Mtv under your name. They should be calling your for an audition shortly.

Yes. Notice that 2 Jackass movies have already been made and that I am talking of what they should do because that's what audiences want to be entertained by.

Cool. I could make trillions and quadrillions for thinking up those ideas, but those sissy boys will never do it.

Posted by Chris Hipp (Member # 1788) on 09-26-2006, 07:10 PM:

Oh, I was confused, I told them you were going to do them personally. oh well.

Posted by Joe Redifer (Member # 3) on 09-26-2006, 07:21 PM:

I would do them but unfortunately I have an IQ higher than 26.

Posted by Phil Hill (Member # 371) on 09-26-2006, 10:50 PM:

Joe, I had lunch today with my personal friend Derek Freda...the producer of the "Jackass" films. I showed him your post of what you thought would be a great "Jackass 3" movie. HE LUV'D IT!

He tentatively agreed to produce it IF ***YOU*** did ALL the stunts you mention.

I managed to negotiate a salary of $25k for your performance and $1.2mil for myself as a finders fee and your agent.

Let me know.

Posted by Joe Redifer (Member # 3) on 09-27-2006, 12:08 AM:

Sounds perfectly fair!

Posted by Jennifer Pan (Member # 2035) on 09-27-2006, 03:33 AM:

I'd so pay to watch that if that ever goes down. 4 realZ homeboy. [beer]

Just to clarify ...

Broken Lizard's cameo

... Jay Chandrasekhar is in it, not all of Broken Lizard (and I wouldn't call it a cameo, he actually has a legitimate part)

I noticed that too, and forgot to mention it. I don't think I've ever seen that version of the logo before.

Posted by Bobby Henderson (Member # 840) on 09-27-2006, 09:57 AM:

It's not a legit version of the DTS logo, just a poorly made knock-off.

Lots of graphics people get into the very lazy, unprofessional habit of going to brandsoftheworld.com to download logos instantly. They don't want to bother making some calls and getting the right artwork (along with color specifications and useage guidelines). They think Brands of the World is good enough. The problem is many of the logos on that site are inaccurate knock-offs.

Even if the credits guy needed that DTS logo right away, he could have been at least a little more resourceful. He could have pulled more authentic DTS logos out of Acrobat PDFs ranging from electronics product manuals to white papers at DTS' own website.

Frankly DTS has the right to complain about how its logo is being displayed on those end credits. They could demand for the logo to be fixed before the DVD is released.

...swallowing angry wasps...

I could actually see them doing that in Jackass 3. I don't know about the suggestion of eating aborted fetuses. They'll probably drink each other's vomit at some point.

Posted by Bruce McGee (Member # 131) on 09-27-2006, 12:15 PM:

I must be seriously old. I dont like this thing.

All this puking, and fat small people, along with lots of other totally unattractive people doing God know what-all kinds of stupid bits...

And THIS is playing in my largest DOLBY house, and also in my 3rd largest house in DTS. I DID notice the funky DTS logo in the credits. I hope we lose a print on Friday. Dont know, yet.

Posted by Mark J. Marshall (Member # 1409) on 09-27-2006, 01:48 PM:

Welcome to the stick-in-the-mud club, Bruce.

Nice to know I'm not alone.

I watched parts of this film while working the booth and I said to myself, "DUDE, what the hell?" and then, I left. I saw the first Jackass and after the movie, I almost slugged my friend for taking me to see the film. Where is this world coming too? Sheeez! Oh well, some people like this stuff.

Posted by Bill Gabel (Member # 1105) on 09-27-2006, 05:11 PM:

If you loved "Jackass 1 and 2" you will enjoy "Dirty Sanchez: The Movie" from MTV Europe. (Pathe). There are some grosser things in this movie. [puke]

Posted by Chris Hipp (Member # 1788) on 09-27-2006, 05:22 PM:

According to IMDB.com he is sometimes credited as Broken Lizard, that is easier to spell than his real name so that is what I put.

I went and saw the whole thing at the new AMC Northpark 15 theater last night. My opinion of the movie did not change. I think the best part was the punching note skit.

My only real complaint is the poor nudity ratio. If there is going to be male nudity that is fine, but there needs to be enough female nudity to counter it.

No way! I had the displeasure of seeing a preview uncut version...the one w/rabbit ass sucking... [puke]

I'll stick with the relatively tame "Jackass" series! [Wink]

I suppose I'm beating a dead horse here ... but:

Broken Lizard is a comedy troupe ... when they do something as a group, they get credited as Broken Lizard, but when they do something as individuals, they get credited by their own name ... so yes, he IS sometimes credited as Broken Lizard, but not in this situation. It would be like saying that The Beatles married Yoko Ono.

As someone who is not in the targeted demographic for this film, I found it unbelievably funny, I have'nt laughed this much watching a movie in a long time [Big Grin]

. Yes, the film is very low brow and the guys debase themselves to no end, but it is what it is and doesn't try to be anything that its not. I just hope for their sake there isn't a part 3, unless they use some of Joe's ideas. [Wink]

Posted by William Valdes (Member # 2690) on 10-04-2006, 05:32 PM:

I just saw this film. It is THE funniest movie this year!

Posted by Jason Winn (Member # 3568) on 11-06-2006, 10:26 AM:

I finally saw this movie. I still haven't seen the first one, but I loved this one. It was hilarious!

Posted by Richard Greco (Member # 2032) on 11-25-2006, 10:07 AM:

Very funny movie. Just a bunch of people acting stupid. Great to see when drunk!
