Jackass - The Movie
JACKASS: THE MOVIE may go down in history as the most irresponsible, outrageous footage ever to be released by a major Hollywood studio. Based on the MTV show of the same name, creators and coproducers Jeff Tremaine, Johnny Knoxville, and Spike Jonze stretch their surprisingly successful concept into a feature-length film. Watch cast regulars Knoxville, Steve-O, Chris Pontius, Bam Margera, Dave England, Ryan Dunn, Jason "Wee Man" Acuna, Preston Lacy, Ehren McGehey, and Brandon Dicamillo as they perform a series of ridiculously dangerous and dangerously stupid stunts. Entering a rental car in a crash-up derby, snorting wasabi, eating a urine-soaked snow-cone, self-inflicting paper cuts, and using a store's display toilet are just a few of the increasingly obscene antics that unfurl at a relentless pace. A large portion of the footage finds the pranksters in Japan, dressing up in outlandish outfits and wreaking havoc on the unsuspecting locals. Whether or not this is a hysterical romp or a waste of eighty minutes is for the viewer to decide, but the fact can't be argued, JACKASS: THE MOVIE is slapstick entertainment for the 21st Century, incorporating the modern world's fascination with reality television and obsession with disaster into a raucous, electrifying spectacle.

Johnny Knoxville and his daredevil buddies take their eye-watering antics to new extremes in this darkly funny feature-length version of the cult TV series. Produced by Being John Malkovich director Spike Jonze, it builds on the group's MTV-spawned format, in which the modern-day clowns repeatedly risk life and limb carrying out absurd, and often dangerous, stunts and pranks. From master of outrage Steve-O snorting wasabi — a kind of Japanese horseradish — to Men in Black II star Knoxville smashing himself up in a golf buggy, there's apparently nothing these adrenalin junkies won't do for public entertainment. It's far from subtle and definitely an acquired taste, but fans of the show won't be disappointed. The movie doesn't manage to maintain its crazy momentum for its entirety, and there are segments, particularly those involving bodily fluids, that really fall flat. Overall, however, this is spirited adults-only viewing — just don't expect elderly relatives to approve.

A movie version of a TV series that is an outgrowth, or possibly a carbuncle, from so-called reality television. Those who like to watch grown men behaving badly while risking injury will love it.

Sick
Sick in a good way.. Great fun, just like the TV programme with a bigger budget and a bigger shopping trolly. I always feel that I shouldn't like it but I do!

Classic Jackass, in a movie
Imagine Jackass the TV series stretched to an hour and given an (18) rating and you've got 'Jackass the movie'.
Within 5 minutes of the film starting I was crying with laughter. The stunts are pretty dangerous, so I was either laughing away or watching in shock.
The rest of the Jackass crew are on form too, including Chris Pontius and his 'Thong Disco Dancing', Steve-O with his lethal stunts, and Jason 'Wee man'.
One thing to beware of is that nothing is held back in the movie, including vomiting scenes and other bodily functions, so it's not something to show the family at Christmas. But if you want to get some friends together, have a few beers, and laugh yourself stupid, then this film is the one. -

Jackass boys get Hosed
- 10 Jan 2007
The fearless cast of the Jackass TV show and films are set to star in a new movie, to be produced by Madonna's production company, Maverick Films. Hosed will star Steve-O, Chris Pontius, Preston Lay and Jason Ancona (best known as Wee Man) as a misfit group of firefighters who have to welcome an over-enthusiastic addition to their team. The boys shot to fame in stunt-based daredevil show Jackass, which then developed into Jackass: The Movie and Jackass Number Two. However, the group's... Read more
