When Jackass: The Movie did big numbers at the box office, it only made sense that the guys would get back together for a sequel. While spin off television shows like The Wildboyz and Viva La Bam are decent enough, the chemistry and insanity of Jackass has ensured that it's still popular even if the series itself is no longer with us. Jackass Number Two, once again directed by long time Jackass alumni Jeff Tremaine (the man behind the first film), does a great job of filling the void that has existed over the last couple of years and it delivers exactly what you'd expect from it – stupid frat boy humor and completely retarded stunts. There's no real plot to discuss, no hidden meaning or social message to be found in the film. It's simply more footage of the crew hurting themselves and performing stunts that no one in their right mind should ever even consider attempting. The film starts off with a fun beginning where the guys are chased through a suburb by bulls to the tune of an Ennio Morricone's The Ecstasy Of Gold from The Good The Bad And The Ugly. Somehow seeing grown men getting chased by bulls to one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever composed for a film is completely appropriate. It shouldn't work, but it does (which pretty much applies to all things Jackass). Shortly after this epic, a snake bites Chris Pontius' dick which is disguised for him as a tasty mouse. From there the audience is bombarded with one stunt or prank after another. Highlights include a fantastic bit where Knoxville is made up as an old man pretending to be hanging out and drinking with his young grandson. The reactions he gets from a few people sitting near him are pretty funny, particularly when it looks like a fight is going to break out. Spike Jonze poses as an old woman complete with fake (but very realistic looking) droopy-boobs. When he gets out of a car the door catches his dress and rips it off, exposing his wrinkled body to the people on the street. The guys go back to this bit time and again throughout the movie, and it's particularly funny to see 'naked grandma' shopping for t-shirts somewhere on the streets of Los Angeles. Ultimately, this material is about as far away from highbrow as you can get. While there are definitely some brilliant touches here and some truly creative ideas behind the movie, the whole thing is completely dumb. The plus side, is that when dumb is done well, it can be hilarious which is definitely the case with this film. These guys aren't at all afraid to go for the gross out or to hurt themselves for out enjoyment, and hopefully they'll keep pooping, puking and bleeding on one another for a long time to come.

Johnny Knoxville originally started a "Band of Loveable Losers"; that would concoct and experiment on the most depraved and injury-prone ideas one could think up in the orignal MTV Show: "Jackass". When Johnny Knoxville, along with fellow stunt daredevil idiots, Bam Margera, Ryan Dunn, Preston Lacy, Dave England, Wee-Man, Steve-O, Chris Pontius all completed "Jackass: The Movie"; the world applauded., as we laughed our way into absurdity. - Johnny Knoxville got discovered and started his "True Movie Career": with "Men In Black 2" and "Walking Tall".... then "Dukes of Hazzard". Fellow Jackass stars Bam Margera broke off with Ryan Dunn and Brandon DiCamillo to begin the smash-hit "Viva La Bam"., while Steve-O and Chris Pontius began their own hit "Wildboyz". Both shows still based around ridiculous stunts and absurdity; as if it were an art form. After "Viva La Bam" ran it's successful run of 5 seasons., and "Wildboyz" 5 seasons; it seemed the crews were all pranked out; as all stars went silent, injuries mounting and the players exhausted from danger-packed stunts; and the shows ended to the final fans laughs with almost a depressed, "Hate To See It Go" sigh.. - Then from out of nowhere, a phone call was made., and Johnny Knoxville, (a man who clearly never forgets his roots, nor wants to forget), successfully rounded up the entire original crew; as the birth of a new scene began: "Jackass 2: Unrated". Yes, the Sequel!! --Once again, these loved losers have all reunited under one roof and this time have clearly set the bar way too high!! If ever "Jackass", "Viva La Bam" and/or "Wildboyz" ever caught your shock, laughs and tears; "Jackass 2 UNRATED" superly over-achieves!! These gnarly crews of visibly-tattered bruised bodies take assanine stunts and ridiculous behavior to the furthest level imaginable and way, way beyond! - From live-human-rockets, to fishing with man-bait, human shock-treatments, blind-folded bull-fighting, beehive-filled locked limo's, snow-sledding inside Bam's parents houses stairwell and much much much more., the intent is very clear to push-the-envelope much further than ever and shadow that line where true injury is more likely than not. Far more than the original "Jackass" ever perceived. - Bam Margera states it all too well., (as the reunion of these close-knit maniacs never stops laughing): "I hope we don't do Jackass 3". - Fans of the "Jackass", "Viva La Bam" phenomina and "Wildboyz" will absolutely not even come close to a let-down; and if you've never seen any of this before?., then strap-on your seatbelt because you are gonna feel the pain like it's your own. The UNRATED version is jam-packed with offensive material, nudity and swearing, but you just will not stop laughing. It's a guarantee !! Highly Recommended! Antics and X-Rated behavior that can put a smile on the bleekest of bleek. I know I can say, this reuinion is worth every second and laugh; and I certainly hope for "Jackass 3". Don't miss this !! This world is too stressful; and these completely moral-less Idiots make us get off the world for a while; to laugh until it hurts; and grab ourselves in shock saying, "Oh My God, No Way!!" -- Way !!!! Thank You Knoxville, Bam, Steve-O, Pontius, Wee-Man, Preston Lacy, Dave England and celeb-cameo's Tony Hawk and Luke Wilson. - Heal up soon; and we hope for more when you can take more. SEE THIS !! OWN THIS !! You will definately want to watch more than once! PLEASE SEE MY OTHER REVIEWS FOR GREAT FILMS!Read full review
I never thought that Knoxville and his crazy band of insane friends would ever have been able to outdo themselves after the first movie. I expected this one to be just more of the same thing all over again, but I guess that's why they have become so popular at what they do!!....these guys are never to be underestimated!!! If you thought that the first movie was too offensive and utterly repulsive then you definately don't want to even hear about this one!!...but...it you see what these guys do for what it truely is.....extreme comedy and stunts performed by truely extreme and profesional artists then you are in for a real treat!!! The stunts are crazier and the laughs are more abundant and ten times funnier!! These guys are completely selfless and shameless in the persuit of just trying to make people laugh...so why are you still reading this?! Let's not let their sacrifices of pain and self-humiliation be for nothing!! You need to see this movie as soon as possible!!!!Read full review
Johnny went all out on this and made another great movie for any of us who enjoy the over-the-edge humor and stunts that are performed by the crew of Jackass. The unrated version has some footage that I wouldn't have included if I were doing the movie but then again I am running an ebay store instead of enjoying the millions made off some crazy movies I made. For those who are fans of the show this unrated version is a Must Have! Some of the more dangerous stunts that these guys have done yet. You can see it in their faces that they probably will not be doing this again. This is NOT a movie for children or those with weak stomachs! If you read this review and find it helpful in any way please click the " YES " button!
this movie was even better than the first one. these guys are way funnier than any hollywood piece with "real acting". they push everything they've done before to a whole new level. some things might be a bit much for people (drinking of horse sperm, haha) the entire first time i was watchin this i had a headache from laughing. ive seen it twice since then. still funny, funny stuff. it never gets old. pick this up as soon as you can. get the jackass box set and the first movie while your at it. after seeing this stuff, it's hard to laugh at anything else. go get it. all the features in this unrated version should keep you busy for a while after seeing the movie itsself. go get it. now.
