This is what you should expect from this movie: Old woman tits Old man balls Horse shit Horse cum Fart mask Medicine Ball Dodgeball Cobras Anacondas Penises Snakes on a Penis Rockets Explosions Terrorists My favorite parts are actually not so much the blood, pain and vomiting, but the sequences where Johnny Knoxville and gang dress up as old people messing with random people on the street. I could watch that for 2 hours and not get bored. If you liked the first Jackass, this one is better. 4 out of 5 stars My review of the theater can be found here.  |  IP: Logged Chris Hipp Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1462 From: Mesquite, Tx (east of Dallas) Registered: Jul 2003 posted 09-15-2006 02:06 PM                     Thanks for inviting me....jerk. I used to hate this kind of stuff, but after watching viva la bam I've started to like the other guys. They guy that rollerblades in the speedos is too funny.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 09-15-2006 03:35 PM                     Sorry Chris, but since Will Ferrell wasn't in it, I naturally assumed you wouldn't have any interest in seeing it.  |  IP: Logged Chris Hipp Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1462 From: Mesquite, Tx (east of Dallas) Registered: Jul 2003 posted 09-15-2006 03:44 PM                     No worries. Will Ferrell does have a new movie coming out next month so I have been putting it on every movie I can.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 09-15-2006 03:50 PM                     Thank god we have start timers!  |  IP: Logged Justin Gorka Expert Film Handler Posts: 174 From: High Wycombe, England Registered: Apr 2006 posted 09-21-2006 05:54 PM                     What is the point, bound to be crap, we even have a bloody Welsh version-I'd rather iron my balls to a gnu (without the cameras being present of course!)  |  IP: Logged Chad Souder Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 962 From: Waterloo, IA, USA Registered: Feb 2000 posted 09-22-2006 12:43 PM                     Is it weird that I thought the song and dance routine near the end was the most enjoyable part? I find the gross stuff unenjoyable, but the practical jokes they play on each other are funny. Does anyone know what the "actors" got paid for this movie?  |  IP: Logged Alex Grueneberg Expert Film Handler Posts: 125 From: Chicago, IL Registered: Aug 2004 posted 09-22-2006 10:47 PM                        The gross stuff just got plain weird towards the end, nor do I much care for it. The practical joke stuff was great though. Side note: no problems with my prints sound mix. Format was DTS. 2/5  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA. USA (1774.21 miles northeast of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-24-2006 09:16 PM                        This is horrible...but it's really, really funny. Recommended for anyone with a strong stomach who wants some mindless entertainment.  |  IP: Logged Chris Hipp Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1462 From: Mesquite, Tx (east of Dallas) Registered: Jul 2003 posted 09-24-2006 09:18 PM                     I've seen about half of it, just watching it through the port window and it is pretty funny. I like the scene where they switch Phil with that other fat guy. The guy from Broken Lizard comedy group's, who is sometimes credited as Broken Lizard, appearance in his legitimate role is pretty funny too. Edited so Jeremy Jorgenson can sleep again.

I have a real problem with seeing puke...odd phobia. Anyway, my bf is trying to get me to go but it might be too much. Someone who's seen it? Anyone? =)  |  IP: Logged Darren Crimmins Expert Film Handler Posts: 130 From: Dallas, TX, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 09-24-2006 10:21 PM                     quote: Chris Hipp No worries.

Posts: 10973 From: Lawton, OK, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 09-26-2006 11:34 AM                     Checked out Jackass 2 last night. The show was really funny, and in some ways it topped the original. Johnny Knoxville and his gang at least "pushed the envelope" on what was possible in stunts that are either really painful or very disgusting. However, the novelty behind the stunts has worn off a little. The cattle stampede in the opening titles was pretty cool -done in slow motion with Ennio Morricone's music from the climax of The Good, The Bad & The Ugly. That's one of my favorite pieces of movie music. I thought I was going to gag and wretch in between laughs during the fart mask skit and the scene with the horse. Johnny Knoxville must be certifiably insane to allow an anaconda to bite him not just once but multiple times. There is one central reason why I enjoy watching Jackass and its spin-off shows. Those guys regularly make themselves the butt of their own jokes. They love dishing out mayhem on others, but know out of fairness they must receive it too. Just about all of the audience sat through the credit run to see all kinds of outtakes and stunts not used in the movie. My only complaint about the movie: what's up with the screwed up DTS logo on the very end of the credits? It looks like the bullshit fake version carried on the "brands of the world" website. On the technical end of things, the image quality was not very good and not meant to be very good either. Much of it was shot on video. There was more in the way of surround effects this time than what was mixed in the first Jackass movie. But it's not something you'll use to demo the full capability of a sound system. Overall: 3.3 stars out of 4.  |  IP: Logged
