Jackass: the movie

I can't bloody wait, in fact I've got a mate in Thailand ready to send me a pirate dvd as soon as they hit the stalls in Bangkok.

The trailers look fantastic.

and on that, Bam was damaging himself, yes. But only because he wanted to do the thing so goddamn much.

an infrequently mentioned classic has to be the iceblock sledding, so simple, so much fun!!

not seen cky yet, although when solvent again I will be getting a few.

I did hear about Stevo being arrested for public indecency recently after stapling his scrotum to his thigh in a nightclub.

I've never really seen the TV show (half an ep here and there) or the CKY videos, which should come next?

as my normally stoic roommate said of the movie at the time: "Best $8 i spent all year."

Watched a making of on MTV last night.Much lamentation on how hard it is to pull pranks now b/c of their recognizibility. Also, Bam was made to cry. haw!

Now he reigns alone?

shall you be a bit patronizing to me too Ned?

I wasn't being patronizing! I *love* the fact that those are her two favorite movies to look forward to! :-)

i feel genuinely bad for those who cannot, for whatever reason (childhood bed wetting trauma, republicanism, overly conceptual mindstate), enjoy it.

misfire, chief. nothing agin This Sort Of Thing in general, just execution (also the guys are hard to like).

i've never understood that, either. it must be pretty awful. especially people who watch it, but then look away/cover their face during the painful/gross out bits.
why are you watching it at all!?
i watched that episode where they sit there drinking a gallon of milk because i knew they'd spew it up again, not because i like watching people drink milk.
TEH MIND, IT DOES BOGGLE.

Absolutely dire. I never saw the movie but I used to love "Jackass"!

You know when the Mayor of Morecambe said he wanted his town to be the British Las Vegas?

sorry didn't mean to be mean - it's just that that movie is exuberant joy personified in all its fucked up, brilliant vicissitudes.

*my conjecture

I've showed my kids a couple of clips here and there and they just don't really get it. I've gotta assume a steady diet of tik tok et al has innured them to some of it's charms. At the same time, there are some Jackass gross eating gags I just don't think I can stomach anymore. Downing freshly expressed horse semen? Eating a vomit omelette? I dunno, man ...

I don't remember if they're from the show or the movies but I can't watch the fishhook or paper cut sketches

yeah the paper cut bit is by far the most upsetting one for me, have never been able to watch it.

thats interesting about your kids josh. never thought of it that way but i guess that raw skate video clip look that felt so fresh and exciting at the time (no host, no sets, not plot, no point) is the dominant format of online video now & must not look special at all to young eyes.

first time I saw the first movie was in high school with like 15 other people, literally no one could watch the papercut scene. its annoying but I guess that's part of their thing, it's not Jackass if they can't freak out the entire audience

Mentioned before, but a hunk of the Jackass crew was maybe two years younger than me at my high school. Lots of the show and movies feature destruction of/at sites in and around my home town. Couple of the jackasses bullied my younger sister so bad (I was gone by then, iirc) she left school early.

Because it's a lot more relatable than some of the other stuff. Croquet ball in the nuts? A rare experience. Savage paper cut from a manila envelope? We've all felt that pain.

i will totally go see this and i apologize for nothing

wow josh i must have missed that whenever you talked about it - does the stuff w/your sister spoil your enjoyment of it at all?

I feel like Knoxville and Steve-O are probably good guys. The rest all seem like people you would not want to know IRL

bam obviously has his demons but seems like a totally shithead

definitely watching this in the theatre after ripping a bifter outside

i love that Steve-O was a full-on Deadhead

or idk, “is” still probably

I am so excited for this movie. Hope Wee Man gets a decent amount of screen time. I rewatched two of these recently and honestly I think my favourite scene was him not getting that the chair was electric and that he was convinced they had a secret card throwing machine.

the Looney Tunes fake background painting thing <3

oh god wee man & the card throwing 😂😂😂
fuck that was funny

I can't even remember the last time I was actually "excited" and "anticipating" a piece of media

i rewatched 1 the other day and laughed hardest when rip taylor randomly showed up, i had totally forgotten about that.

i love how knoxville (i assume stuff like that is all knoxville) is so into & amused by old time classic hollywood/showbiz stuff like that

otm

JK is clearly a buster keaton devotee, one of the reasons I love his bits so much is how cinematic his version of jackassian showmanship tends to be

"I was Lon Cheney's lover."

also helps that he’s a diehard Evel Knievel fan too

Back for one last attack

I'm all in, but why so many archive clips in the trailer? I think I read that there would be archive Bam, to get around the bad blood, but seemed like a lot of old stuff I recognized in there, too.

I think a lot of it is going to be Greatest Hits

the title might be a hint at that, whenever they get around to revealing it

tangentially related to this revive, also bcuz i don't know where to post about this on ILX -- did anyone see the movie The Piano Accident (2025) starring Adèle Exarchopoulos? not to give away too much but the lead character and conceit of the film is inspired by 'jackass' -- and i mean that literally, in flashbacks we see the lead as a young girl watching 'jackass' episodes w/ her father. it's more of a satire of mr. beast core but also touches on something real about 'jackass' culture that i haven't seen woven into the plot of a fictional film, great movie and Adéle is incredible, i think johnny knoxville would be proud

Odds n Sods movie gunna be, huh

one thing that always blows my mind about this show is that only 25 episodes were ever made, if I had to guess I would've said like 70

Seems odd to me that they've replaced Johnny Knoxville with Nick Lowe

what do you think "I Love the Sound of Breaking Glass" is about

Or Timothy Olyphant.

April & Phil showed up to the premier last night & hugged Johnny on the red carpet <3

Seeing this tomorrow night, my wife will be the loudest (and maybe oldest?) one laughing.

almost thinking about taking my 11 year old son to see it, maybe its a bit too young but I know he would absolutely love it

I have to wait til wknd after next to go but I will be going with my girlfriends who are also diehard Jackass fans & am very excited so see it w a crowd

I remember seeing Jackass 2 in theaters & nearly herniated myself laughing

i am also considering taking my 11 year old but he has a serious vomit phobia which i expect will be a problem

I know I’m always “hey there’s a podcast for that” but the Jackass guys are doing Jackass The Podcast that is on the history of the show - it’s honestly fascinating how FAR back they all go w each other

Like Spike Jonze - his connection to Tremaine started when he was 13; Wee Man worked in subscriptions at Big Brother magazine etc

And the 90’s skateboard/bmx era stories, and the stunts & stories from Big Brother mag days are great

I could listen to them all gasbag for days

I've mentioned it before, but I went to high school with a few of these dumbasses (though the one I was friends with was very smart). The bulk of them would have been ... class of '95 or so?

Yeah they’re all between 50 & 55 now - like England, Knoxville, Wee Man, Pontus & Preston are all older but like Bam, Ehren, Dunn, DiCamillo are my age

i grew up skating and big brother was right up alley as a young dirtbag - it kind of blew mind when the guys who had made “shit” and “number two” and the guy who shot himself while wearing a bulletproof vest were on MTV

This was tons of fun, both the old stuff, and the new stuff. A couple of utterly disgusting new skits, lol.

Yay!

the cops busting in during the bar fight scene nearly made me fall out of my seat

That was a surreal highlight.

I love how essentially one of the themes of the show is the weirdness and resilience of the human mind and body.

There didn’t seem like too much new stuff. Dunno if that’s cos of Knoxville’s concussion or just a feeling that loads of stuff with the new guys didn’t really fit the theme.

Even though it was a bit like a greatest hits, I loved it. Felt quite emotional at the end, which I didn’t expect.

I think Knoxville specifically has been medically forbidden from doing a lot of the more dangerous stuff. Otherwise, I thought there was a good amount of new (and new nude) stuff. Ping pong ball in butt; little people fight; balance beam with nut taster; escape room from hell; lip injections; robot rectal exam; colonoscopy prep Twister; fat guy lowered on face game; naked pole vault; I'm sure more) Plus, of course, tons of stuff I'd either never seen (because it wasn't released) or that I'd forgotten about (like kidnapping Brad Pitt!).

I did notice that the last movie tried to introduce new members/fresh meat to the team, but I didn't notice more than Poopies getting much to do. Like Rachel Wolfson, she gets an opening credit showcase but literally does nothing for the rest of the movie. It doesn't help her that getting hit in the nuts is sort of the show's default go-to.

Anyway, I hope they release a comprehensive boxed set.

Oh I adored some of the new stuff, it was just like a tv episodes worth, not a movie
