 JACKASS
-
Not
The
Movie
With
Steve-O
Directed
by
Nick
Dunlap
Idiotic.
Irresponsible.
Dangerous.
Immature.
Disgusting.
Moronic.
Nauseating.
Unacceptable.
Immoral.
Stupid.
Whatever
you
want
to
call
it,
the
Jackass
phenomenon
has
become
a
modern
counter
cultural
vessel
of
alternative,
low
budget
entertainment
that
will
probably
still
lead
to
a
fatality
-
more
than
likely
via
imitating
fans
(god
forbid).
Extreme
Funniest
Home
Videos
would
be
the
easiest
way
to
describe
it
to
those
who
hadn't
seen
the
MTV
Jackass
show
or
the
big
screen
movie
version.
If
we
laugh
at
someone
falling,
isn't
it
more
funny
when
they
fall
further
and
much
harder?
Where
do
you
draw
the
line?
With
Jackass
there
are
very
few
lines
left
to
cross.
I
happen
to
be
one
of
those
individuals
who
can
appreciate
works
of
fine
art
and
literature,
classical
music
and
the
theatre.
Then
there
is
a
part
that
finds
a
bunch
of
guys
maiming
themselves
and
each
other
in
a
variety
of
creative
and
dangerous
ways
absolutely
hilarious.
Jackass
The
Movie
contained
scenes
and
stunts
that
wasn't
exactly
fit
for
TV.
If
you
thought
that
was
bad,
try
Jackass
Not
The
Movie
on
for
size!
Where
Johnny
Knoxville
has
become
the
Jackass
posterboy,
Steve-O,
the
most
hectic
of
the
bunch
get
the
spotlight
here.
The
video
cameras
follow
Steve-O,
offering
up
unscreenable
TV
footage
of
his
ridiculous
efforts
to
amuse.
Whether
it's
setting
his
hair
alight,
displaying
various
bodily
graphic
functions,
performing
dangerous
dives
and
having
fireworks
or
darts
hurled
at
his
naked
butt,
it's
all
here.
Sure,
not
everyone
will
find
it
funny
to
see
him
staple-gun
his
scrotum
to
his
thighs…At
one
end
of
town
this
would
be
seen
as
comedic
stunts
&
pranks;
at
another
it
will
be
viewed
as
performance
art;
and
then
there
would
be
a
majority
that
will
call
it
total
filth
and
acts
of
unstable
minds.
At
least
in
a
few
spots
the
chaos
gets
alleviated
by
some
skateboard
action.
These
acts
are
like
freak
sideshows
or
a
car
crash,
something
you
don't
want
to
enter
into
but
have
a
compulsion
to
stare
at
in
disbelief,
the
only
result
being
to
wince,
laugh
or
throw
up.
The
production
values
are
limited
to
hand
held
video
cameras
and
nothing
is
sacred.
Whether
they
suffer
from
sado-masochistic
tendencies,
psychotic
dysfunction
or
are
merely
high
pain
threshold
extroverts
with
no
more
talent
than
exposing
themselves
in
various
ways,
Steve-O
does
some
it
up
for
his
case
-
he
has
very
little
regard
for
his
own
wellbeing
and
he
doesn't
want
to
study
or
hold
down
a
regular
job.
The
public
is
prepared
to
pay
to
see
these
guys
damage
themselves,
so
it's
supply
&
demand.
And
these
guys
have
gained
rock
star
status,
even
putting
on
sold
out
road
tours
of
live
performances.
In
the
future
these
recordings
will
be
studied
in
anthropological
classes
as
the
devolution
of
the
human
species
-
but
I'm
sure
a
few
students
will
find
it
hard
to
hold
in
their
laughter.
