In this comedic documentary, Johnny Knoxville heads a crew of stuntmen, skateboarders and all-around lunatics as they prank, embarrass and torture each other in the name of fun. The antics range from childlike -- the boys don panda suits for a romp through Tokyo -- to grotesque and life-threatening. A golf cart demolition derby turns downright dangerous. Live gators nearly chomp maniac Steve-O. Filmmaker Spike Jonze and Knoxville, in heavy makeup, test the public's patience for the elderly.

Part of the appeal here is the unfazed, laidback attitude that the various Jackass collaborators apply to their stunts. Go to Full Review

Superficial shenanigans don't diminish its effect. It's a ridiculously funny barrage of taboo pranks, practical jokes and tests of both social altruism and Bam Margera's parents' patience - most of it failsafed so that the foolishness never subsides. Go to Full Review

Luke C @Don_L 3d You can hate it or love it See more Thomas B @Necrom 6d It’s Jackass you either love it or hate it. See more Mattias J @hehudio3qbdiuoobnodiq Jul 7 It’s a documentary of sorts so it’s hard to do a real review since there’s no written plot or structure or dialogue, but I’ll try my best. My main comment is that it makes a lot of sense that there isn’t really a woman involved in this entire process, at least none that I have seen. This film to me is a representation of pure unfettered masiculinity. A testament to art, in my opinion. A lot of respect is due to these people who are willing go to these extreme lengths in the name of a very entertaining film. Cinematic superheroes, as well as a very iconic cast of characters; you can’t go wrong with Johnny Knoxville. Understandable as to why some people aren’t really able to enjoy this kind of film, but appreciative to those who are open minded enough to find it at least kind of funny. Full review on my Letterboxd; (user: mattjerman) See more Declan D @filmbuffkid Jul 2 (Warning: spoilers ahead) Jesus Christ man that was absolutely insane, hilarious and disgusting. Even though this movie has low scores, it’s still a classic to me, a lot of the stunts were pretty solid and disgusting and it had me laughing hysterically, and since I’m reviewing all the films before “Jacka$$: best and last” I’m going to rank the top 5 best stunts in each film 1: Sons of jacka$$. Great stunt to finish off the movie and was absolutely hilarious and crazy 2: Opening Sequence. A cool and funny way to introduce the craziness that we’re about to experience. 3: tidal wave. Watching the title take away the camera and show off the water in the grass was pretty cool. 4. Wasabi sn****rs. Pretty disgusting but pretty funny at the same time. 5. Alligator tightrope. A pretty funny stunt that didn’t last long. Overall, I think that this movie isn’t not perfect, but it is pretty funny and can give a lot of people laughs 7.8/10 See more Jonathan O @RT41230270 Jun 26 Absolutely gross out comedy with really ridiculous stunts doing really dangerous and risky stuffs that it should be about cult classic comedy film. See more Hayden T. @RT84200025 Jun 11 It's still a hilarious movie totally worth watching 😂😂 See more Read all reviews
