Why Do You Think They Call It "Jackass" Anyhow??
Some critics see the success of Jackass: The Movie as the last nail in the
coffin of civilization, and theyre probably right. This compilation of pain-
inflicting stunts and embarrassing pranks has no artistic merit whatsoever -
-which doesnt keep it from being freakishly entertaining. Among other
things, Johnny Knoxville and his posse get beaten up by a female kick-
boxing champion; shoot bottle rockets out of their rectums; run amok in
Japan wearing giant panda bear costumes; swim with whale sharks while
holding pounds of brine shrimp in their swimsuits; and get done up in
realistic old-age makeup so that they can race each other in motorized
wheelchairs, among other goofs. Its a weird mixture of machismo and
masochism, adolescent recklessness and frat boy homoeroticism, and
someday someone will write a doctoral thesis about how Jackass relates
to our safety-obsessed society. In the meantime, just enjoy. --Bret Fetzer
KNowing what to expect coming in, "Jackass" fullfilled all my expectations
and also surpassed them. For those who don't know, they film is a string of
short stunts by a group of very brave/foolish skaters who are constantly
testing the bounds of their own destruction and torquing unsuspecting
bystanders in the process. Imagine the old "Candid Camera" show on
PCP. Yeah, way cool!
The first scene made me fall in love with the concept when Johnny
Knoxville with a straight face tries to return a trashed rental car he's just
used for demo derby and ask earnestly for his deposit to be ret urned.Other
highlights are "mobile roller disco", the human mouse trap and some of the
stupidest(but funniest)destructive and dangerous concepts you will be glad
someone else is doing.
Editing is great, the director transitions from stunt to stunt without
trepidation or hesitation. I could have watched another hour of this without
tiring.
