Product Description: Johnny Knoxville Bam Margera Steve-O and the entire crew from the popular MTV franchise return in the most insane DVD of the year jackass number two. Available in both rated and too hot for theaters unrated versions jackass number two pushes the limits with all-new stunts pants-wetting practical jokes fun with bears bees snakes bulls sharks and other REALLY bad ideas.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY Rating: UNRATED UPC: 097361208749 Manufacturer No: 120874Amazon.com: Jackass Number Two could be alternately titled " From Bowties to Bunny Ears: What Will Chris Pontius Be Wearing Next?" Like the first Jackass movie, Johnny, Bam, Chris, Steve-O and the gang are all here. This "sequel" is full of stunts, pranks and one-liners, and contains more defecation, more male nudity, more scream-worthy moments and of course more uncontrollable laughter. The film opens with a rather well directed cinematic piece: the entire Jackass gang running from a stampede of bulls. From there it takes off into the hysterically exhausting world of Jackass. The bulls are actually in quite a few stunts, one of which has "leader" Johnny Knoxville using himself as a red flag, and getting spearheaded by a charging bull. Ah, good times. Some of the stunts include: "Beehive Limo", "Fart Mask", "Red Rocket" and a fake terrorist plot which boasts the improve line, "Where I'm going, I don't need luggage." Bam gets branded, they fish for sharks with Steve-O as bait, Johnny catches Anacondas with his bare hands, the list goes on. The gem in this collection of antics has to be the offensive interactions with the innocent people on the street by Johnny Knoxville and director/actor Spike Jonez, while disguised as a very old man and woman. Celebrity guests partaking in stunts include extreme sports legends Tony Hawk and Mat Hoffman. The movie culminates in a beautifully choreographed, fantastical and dangerous musical number not to be missed. Throughout the movie it is apparent that the Jackass gang is older and a little more worn, especially when Bam pleads, "Please God, don't let there be a "Jackass 3". For fans of the TV series and the films, a trilogy may be just what the doctor ordered. The DVD extras (deleted scenes, unrated material and two pretty funny music videos) are more of the same and worth the watch, though some of it is not for the faint hearted. --Rachel Moss
Customer Reviews:
- Want to know why teenagers are so gosh-darn screwed-up these days? Just look at Knoxville & his anti-social crew for starters!!!: Contrary to moral relativists and Jackass apologists who downplay Jackass 2 as comedy or the immaturity common among teenagers, Jackass 2's popularity--and the following of the Jackass franchise--is an implication of where American and western society's heading: into the gutter of depraved indecency!!!! An incrimination of the low-mindedness lowlifes celebrate in this Jackass 2 movie was seen when it defied all odds of sanity or justice by debuting at number one when it came out!!!! In analyzing Jackass 2's noticeable success, where even the makers of the movie had to be self-deprecating about their chances of repeating the success from the first movie, one has to resist the temptation to write off the moviegoers as merely asinine and misled teens. Ghoulishly, many immature and dissolute adults entertain their lowbrow, inner desires by buying this DVD.
Jackass 2 cannot qualify as a movie since movies have a plot, maybe a theme, some conflict, and character development. Flagrantly, Jackass 2 is more of the same mischief: Knoxville, Steve-O, Pontius et al connive to get together for more anti-social stunts which are just perilous and self-destructive. Many teenagers, clearly neglected by their parents and free to pursue copying Jackass' stunts due to feeling a void in their useless lives, have imitated Jackass' toxic stunts, so these films and series are definitely affecting society in a polluting way.
An impartial count by the "Screen-It" Movie Review website found 135 f-words, 39 MoFos, 19 d#@k/c---su#*er, and 22 a#@holes. This is only the beginning of the lewd profanity unconvincingly described as "comedy" that's scattered throughout Jackass 2. It has no redeemable qualities because the "humor" isn't funny; it's simply slapping together unconventionally perverse situations which get the audience to utter nervous laughter due to the shocking perversity of the stunts. For instance, semen is lustfully collected from the erect p*nis of a horse, and a man has a phallus (for all the mentally immature adults viewing Jackass 2, they'll need to check a dictionary for the definition of phallus) blasted up his derriere!!!! Nothing is even remotely "funny" about this; if one finds this "funny" there are only three choices. Either they're being intellectually dishonest, have the maturity level of an anti-social teen, or are so obscenely deteriorated.
The overall ratings for Jackass 2 should be one star at the most if we lived in a morally upstanding society, but we don't, regrettably. Egregious nudity to get the moral-reprobate audience off is rampant with men and women totally nude; again, there's nothing "funny" or remotely defensible about this nudity since it's softcore p*rn. Worse than this is the miscreant means for which human nudity is misused: for instance, a man's p*nis is actually put through the hole of a snake cage. The reviewers mendaciously defending this sm*t-film are villains. From this content of the movie, you'd seriously have to be debauched, mentally underdeveloped, or just asinine to enjoy this. "Movies" such as this used to be relegated to red-light districts, and most of Jackass 2 is more extreme and shocking than any snuff or p*rn film.
The only abominations remotely capable of being passed off as lowlife humor are scenes of drinking horse semen (Fear Factor never stooped this low), eating horse manure, the stimulating sight of freshly passed human excrement, and stoners and drunks vomiting in graphic glorification!!!! With all these increasingly damning descriptions of the content of Jackass 2, it's clear that the only people enjoying this depravity are mentally ill, as it's incrementally clear that no sane or good human being could derive entertainment value from this degeneration.
Besides these contraventions of human dignity, Jackass 2 endorses abysmally unethical misconduct and/or harmful misconduct. Alcohol is used in almost every other scene; Knoxville is in a scene corrupting a child, as this child drinks alcohol from a brown paper bag; Bam has his b*tt branded several times, resulting in three brandings of a p*nis and a scrotum outline; and one probably liberal and therefore hopelessly lost man has his scrotum frozen to small ice sculptures and when it does, Knoxville pushes him off so hard that pubic hair and excrement remain on the sculptures!!!!
All the other reviewers except for me were unscrupulously downplaying the noxiousness of Jackass 2 by disguising it as mere immaturity or humor--that's why they deceitfully omitted presenting the content of the DVD. In grim reality, even immature teens or p*rverts couldn't really get a rise out of Jackass if they tried; one must be mentally ill or a complete rogue to tolerate this end-of-the-world sacrilege passed off as a movie. I watched the DVD just to be able to unmask all the sm*t in
it. After reading my review of Jackass' content, how can any sane or moral person buy this foulness?!
- funny as hell, reccommended: This is great, besster than the first in some ways, I can hardly wait for 2.5
- johnny knoxville almost killed himself!: There are only a handful of performers who could pull these insane stunts together without jacking up their own lives completely. Johnny's charisma as well as the rest of the gang's fun-loving attitudes kept this movie from never growing dull, even after i thought they wouldn't be able to keep the momentum up after the first movie. i just can't believe that they are so willing to become Darwin Award recipiants. The scene where Johnny was launched by rocket into the lake, and part of the internal rockets damn near killed him; that scene had me awestruck saying to myself "WTF". it didn't stop there with the WTF's, but that was a major one. If you don't know if Jackass is for you then pay extra close attention to the title and think about what number 2 could mean. that's pretty much what you should be expecting here.
- Unrated, but not all that different: The reason why I buy the unrated versions of the Jackass movies is because I want to laugh at the horribly wrong and depraved things they do that were too sick to be shown in the normal theatrical release. Well, at least in the main feature, I feel they didn't deliver as much as they could have. Though there is a fair amount you can see in the bonus material, it's not that "bad". The only extras scenes they have in the feature is one where Dave has a leach attacked to his testicles and screams like a little girl, (understandably), and the "censored" box is removed from the horse semen scene. Beyond that, nothing else struck me as being new or extra for the uncensored DVD.
Beyond that, though, I love this flick. The jokes and gags are great and have a rewatchable quality to them over time. Even the DVD commentary track with the Jackass crew is hysterical, giving an occasional glimpse behind the scenes, (they did a much better job on the track than they did for the first movie). Overall I'm pretty pleased with this buy and can hardly wait for Jackass #3. - Get yourself a good lawyer: Jackass II: The Movie
Jackass II: The Movie is made up even more outrageous dumb, mindless pranks you'd expect of an infantile college fraternity without any adult supervision.
The movie including the DVD is not without merit, however. If you still have an annoying neighbor with teenage boys this might make an ideal Christmas present. You'd want to give it anonymously, of course.
Sure there are warnings throughout the movie DO NOT DO THIS AT HOME. You and I both know that a teenage boy is going to ignore those and try them anyway. That's where the anonymity comes in handy, Nobody can sue you.
Highly recommended for people with annoying teenage boys as neighbors and for any teenage boy you just don't like very much.
