After watching several episodes of Jackass on the TV, I decided that I would buy the film. I bought it for £4 in ASDA; money well spent. The DVD case claims to have limited edition collectors packaging, but this means nothing to me.
The Film If you have seen any episodes of Jackass on the TV, the film is no different. It consists of many short sketches of daft and dangerous stunts and pranks. Jackass created the film so that they could show more dangerous and outrageous stunts that they couldn't show on the TV. If you have never seen Jackass before, this should give you a good idea of the kinds of things they do: fireworks and somebody's arse. I say no more. There is also quite a lot of nudity involved. The film lasts for just under 1½ hours, so is neither too long or too short. If you are squeamish, this is not the movie for you as it involves quite a lot of excrement, blood and guts, making many of the crew members sick. The cast is the same as on the MTV TV show, with Johnny Knoxville, Bam Margera, Steve-O and the rest of the insane 'stuntmen'.
The Bonus Features Included in the DVD are over five hours of bonus features. Amongst these is 27 minutes of additional footage, which for some reason, they decided not to include in the feature film. There is also a reel of outtakes, which isn't all that funny, and a short 'making of' film. This is quite interesting, as there is a bit more organisation involved than meets the eye. Also included is a short biography of each cast and crew member.
The list of bonus features is: Commentary by director, cinematographer, and Johnny Knoxville Jackass cast group commentary MTV's 'making of the jackass movie' 27 minutes of additional footage Jackass the movie promo spots Outtakes Music video 'we want fun' by Andrew W.K Music video 'if you're gonna be dumb' by Roger Alan Wade Theatrical trailer Cast and crew biographies Photo and poster gallery English subtitles
If you don't like foul language, mad dangerous people or blood and sick, then this film is definitely not for you.

One thing I should mention is that a few of the sketches include strobe lighting effects. It does say this on the DVD cover, but in very small writing.

(+) Because of the new series the box set isn't complete, which means it will be cheaper! (-) It isnt the complete box set so you'll have to buy the new dvds seperatly or wait for the new set!
Yep, you either love it or hate it. Personally I like Jackass (and Dirty Sanchez) for times that I have not got the energy to think about what I am watching. Perfect for vegging out. Please check out my Ciao Lists. Cheers.
