Mar 2, 2022 Travis Pastrana's Nitro Circus is basically X Games meets Jackass, minus the humor of the latter and a greater risk level than the two combined. Unless there is some movie magic in play I am not sure how they were able to get insured. See more Name S @RT28241518 Apr 25, 2021 If you're a fan of stunts and or the famous Jackass MTV Series/Movies then this is a must-watch holding the same feel of stunts, chaos, and what were they thinking extreme moments! See more Dec 23, 2018 I enjoyed it. all the stunts we're pretty cool. See more Oct 3, 2015 I liked it. I thought the stunts were good, and what is wrong with a successful stunt? You really want to see someone get hurt doing something that you would never have the guts to try? See more May 29, 2015 This is a rip off of Jackass, it is so obvious. Their are really cool stunts that make this movie a little fun, but other than that this movie gives you nothing and bores you in throughout the movie. See more Nov 3, 2014 Jackass-lite that is nowhere near as memorable and the cast of characters are pretty much carbon-copies of that crew. The Nitro Circus guys may be talented athletes, but their stunts are mostly derivative and by the fourth replay, they get old super fast. They make a big deal out of having a girl on their team, yet she does one fucking stunt and from then-on she's on the sidelines cheering; big whoop. Some of the stunts are just insane and these guys truly are risking their lives, the most inspirational being a guy "on" a wheelchair as he puts it, doing insane stunts and showing that you should never give up. There is also one scene where one of the members is seriously injured and hospitalized, which is pretty hard to watch and we don't usually see that in these extreme stunt shows. It doesn't compare to Jackass in entertainment or humour, so for me it was merely "okay" escapism. See more Read all reviews
