When was the last time you felt like being a teenage again? When was the last time you wanted to play a prank on your friend? When was the last time you wanted to feel craziest ever? When was the last time you wanted to witness something that would not be afraid of death? If that day is today, go rent Jackass: Number Two and get a couple of tissue papers to wipe your tears off because you are going to laugh till you drop.
Enter a zone where blindfolded Knoxville gets knocked out by a randy bull, or he sits on a big red rocket on the way to moon, or Bam Margera makes a ski slide in his own house so that he can tear off the front door, or Wee man sits on a stool butt-naked where he gets hit by a professional playing card thrower, or where all the performers gather at a skate park and their goal is to not to get hit by sandbag while riding a bike or skateboards. When I saw Jackass: the movie (2002) I was surprised at the extreme stunt ideas especially the butt x-ray. I did not think that Knoxville and the crew can ever top that but apparently they did. The last stunt of the taxi-cab prank was just hilarious and actually very intelligent. When Johnny and Bam Margera come up with ideas for stunts then it raises a question of why do we need a director. May be to select which scene to go first and for editing. Rest of it is just pure adrenaline and self-humiliating acts. Some times it really tests the limits of how much one can take as an audience. Some are brilliant stunts and some acts will make sick to the stomach.
In the end its creditable how Johnny Knoxville, Bam Margera and the rest of the crew formed the shock values throughout the movie. This movie is something for a Jackass fan.
My rating: 7/10.
