Such a frustrating disappointment
Pretty Good
Excellent but underrated film
I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
Art- Noun. 1. The expression or general use of human creativity and imagination, typically via visual or audible means, or through performance.Yes. You heard it right here. "Jackass Number Two" is art. Plain, simple... even painful art.Following the resounding success of the previous theatrical release, pretty much everyone assumed that the curtain had been pulled on the beloved cult franchise "Jackass." After all... what else could they do? It seemed like the merry (and merrily insane) crew of Johnny Knoxville, Bam Margera, Steve-O, Chris Pontius, Ryan Dunn, Jason "Wee-Man" Acuña, Preston Lacy, Dave England and "Danger" Ehren McGhehey had taken that original concept as far as they possibly could in "Jackass: The Movie", and most of the group and behind-the-scenes crew were tied up in spin-offs and other projects that emerged in its wake. Bam and his cohorts had "Viva La Bam"... Steve-O and Pontius had "Wildboyz"... Knoxville had built a fairly admirable career as a character-actor. Nobody expected more "Jackass"...So you can imagine our surprise when seemingly out of nowhere, a full-fledged theatrical follow-up emerged that reunited the entire original cast and crew for another go-around, filled to burst with the trademark stunts, gags and practical jokes that defined the "Jackass" brand. While we knew the gang never really lost their touch, we were still curious if this sequel would be able to match the high entertainment value of the previous film, or if it would just feel like more of the same. Did we really need a... "Number Two"?Oh boy. We were not prepared. "Jackass Number Two" is not only a great sequel to the brutally funny prior film. It's also the peak of the entire franchise. It takes everything that was done so well before, and ramps it up to eleven! The stunts are bigger, badder and far more dangerous. The pain threshold is pushed to starting and shocking new boundaries. The practical jokes are made far more cruel and vile in nature. And the taboos are pushed to manic new limits. For all intents and purposes, the film is a deplorable, vicious and nauseating exercise in excess and extremes, exhibiting behaviors no sane person could possibly endorse or enjoy. And it is so... much... fun!I remember seeing the film with a packed audience at a small theater in my hometown in Upstate New York. And it was the most infectiously enthusiastic and positive movie-going experience I've ever had. The laughs came fast and hard, with people squirming, screaming and shouting throughout the entire twisted 92 minute run-time. From a shocking opening stunt involving a rather painful "puppet show", through a brilliant "Candid Camera" style hidden- camera gag involving the gang in "old man" makeup tormenting the public, to a genuinely horrifying segment involving bulls and a four-way teeter-totter... and finally to possibly the single greatest practical joke I've ever seen during the film's final moments, the audience ate it up. And even now, eleven years later, it's still hilarious every single time I pop it on!And if that ain't "art", I don't know what is! "Jackass Number Two" is most certainly only for the most iron-stomached fans of the original series, but to those brave souls, I can't help but whole- heartedly recommend it. You'll laugh. You'll cringe. You'll squirm in your seat. And you might even lose your lunch. But you certainly won't be able to guess what these maniacs will do next and you won't be able to stop the incessant giggles they'll bring out. And so, I can't help but give it a perfect 10 out of 10 for the sheer, nonstop entertainment value it provides. Just please, for the love of god... don't even think about trying any of this stuff at home!
Jackass Number Two is the sequel to popular stunt television show starring Johnny Knoxville and his daredevil crew. In this film we see as their everyday lives as they go out of their ways to continue with out daring stunts. The film does have a lengthy run but it is non stop and most of the stunts and pranks are quite funny. Several could have been done without, such as many of the gross out and disgusting stunts. These may include: miniature dollhouse toilet scene (this should have been cut out), horse scene, fart gas mask scene (small scene but was unnecessary), leech scene. The film is best when the crew are doing physical stunts where they are more as daredevils such as the bicycle scenes, bull scenes, or rocket launcher scenes were well delivered. There is quite a great scene towards the end involving a prank within a prank in he form a terrorist attack and a taxi- his was well done although went quite long. Johnny Knoxville disguised as his 'Bad Grandpa' character was a brief look and was well done, although a very brief glimpse which was quite good as well. The other female grandma was funny at first but they did a few too many. Overall, Jackass Number Two is a film for those that are familiar with these stunts and enjoy these type of pranks.
I didn't know what to expect from Jackass 2. Jackass 2 is 90 minutes of 9 stunt men who worked on the show performing extremely dangerous stunts and pranks. I thought I've either really like it or loathe it to the core. The result? I loved it. It's one of the most insane films ever made and to be perfectly honest isn't so much a film as a rocket powered shopping trolley smashing through a supermarket, but it's deliriously entertaining and incredibly funny. Some of the stunts cross the line into disgusting instead of disgustingly fun gross out humour and anyone who doesn't like this sort of thing should stay as far away as they can. J2 is a fairly surreal experience overall, and is totally nuts but it is genuinely funny and showcases comedy at its most unrestrained and daring. All of the performers are entertaining and have plenty of presence, while Jeff Tremaine directs the film very well. The opening set piece where a group of bulls chase the performers through an abandoned neighbourhood is pretty extraordinary.J2 is an acquired taste, but for what it is it's very well done. It's consistently hilarious, the jokes are well done, the stunts and daring and often clever and for once gross out comedy works. Some of the stunts are weaker, but most of them hit the mark. At times it's a terrifying movie but it doesn't feel terribly intense and throughout it's good natured. On a cinematic level it's actually a rather good piece of documentary filmmaking. The gross out novelty never quite wears off and the shocks, screams of laughter and sublime comedy never stop flowing. I haven't watched the TV show or Jackass 1, but even though I was uninitiated, it was still an absolute blast. Not all of it is fun, but at least 85% of it is. Crazy, smashing comedy with no subtlety, no restraint, no taste and no boundaries. Believe it or not, it's genuinely awesome.9/10
It seems like in every other segment of this movie, which is a collection of skits, involves homosexual behavior. We have men staring at each other's naked buttocks, remarking on them. We have objects placed into the rectum of men. We have men showing their buttocks off. We have men holding their penises, leaving little to the imagination.Who is the targeted audience? Impressionable teenagers who connect with these skateboard-riding, fun loving "guys". They dress like teenagers, act like teenagers, and do the things teenagers like to do. Now that their interest is captured, the young audience laughs along at the blatant homosexual behavior. They don't believe they're watching suggestive gay material designed to sexually confuse the impressionable youth. It's subliminal, planting the seeds of homosexuality into the minds of today's youth.
