Jackass Number Two (Unrated) Reviews

• Good Clean Violent Gay Fun

  
  By A3I7OX03X6KDMN on 2006-10-01
  I liked "Jackass" and I liked this new one even better. What Johnny Knoxville and his merry band of idiots have done brilliantly is use this countries political correctness against them. They know what is funny far better than the PC crowd. Terrorists, funny. Naked grandmas, funny. People hurting themselves, funny. For years we have been adding things to our "Not Funny" list and thus eliminating them from our movies. That means that our multiplexes are filling up with toothless, light-hearted films masquerading as comedies. In an ad for this film a crowded theater filled with people engaging in uproarious laughter is showed. Then the ad asks when the last time was that you had an experience like that. My guess is that it wasn't during "Rumor Has It," or "Big Momma's House 2," or "Just My Luck." So the way I see it the Jackass gang is reminding us what it's like to laugh. Or put another way, they're bringing funny back.
  
  That is not to say that all of their stunts are golden. Some, such as the medicine ball dodge ball, seem uninspired. Others were too much for me to handle. I could've lived without the leech on the eyeball, and the fish hook, and especially the horse milk. But without trying everything they may never have come across more hilarious ones such as the puppet show and the bungee jump. The best were the pranks with Spike Jonze as a naked grandma and Johnny Knoxville as a bad grandpa. The one where the bad grandpa gets in a fight with a "hippie" over his parenting technique was divine. And I ask you, who is the real jackass in that stunt, Knoxville or the nosy pedestrian who is being Punk'd? I also think Knoxville should get some credit for holding this film together. His flair for theatrics has gotten better since the original, probably due to his movie star experiences. And that cackling laughter of his works the same way as a laugh track on a sitcom. I mean if the guy with his arm in the bear trap is having the time of his life then why aren't you? I did feel at times that the directing was too polished. It should have been grittier so as not to nullify the pain these people were in.
  
  If all stupid movies were as much fun as this one I would never complain about the dumbing down of Hollywood. I can't remember the last time 95 minutes went by so quickly. I do wonder if parents still think video games are quite as harmful as they used to. Back in the day playing outside meant tossing the football around with the neighbors. Today it means riding a shopping cart into a brick wall. I would never have the nerves of steel, or desire, to swim with sharks, but I had a blast watching these guys do it. Finally, I would like to officially state that I will be first in line as soon as they make number 3 (whatever that means). ***3/4

  Jackass II: The Movie
  
  
  Jackass II: The Movie is made up even more outrageous dumb, mindless pranks you'd expect of an infantile college fraternity without any adult supervision.
  
  The movie including the DVD is not without merit, however. If you still have an annoying neighbor with teenage boys this might make an ideal Christmas present. You'd want to give it anonymously, of course.
  
  Sure there are warnings throughout the movie DO NOT DO THIS AT HOME. You and I both know that a teenage boy is going to ignore those and try them anyway. That's where the anonymity comes in handy, Nobody can sue you.
  
  Highly recommended for people with annoying teenage boys as neighbors and for any teenage boy you just don't like very much.

• You'll Laugh, You'll Cringe, You'll Be Shocked, But After An Hour It Starts To Get Old

  
  By A27CHILBK6HIL2 on 2006-09-25
  MOVIE: Okay, well I'm sure you've read plenty about the latest Jackass and how it pushes the bar on almost every level. Well, just incase you didn't believe every other critic, yes it does. You would never catch me seeing some stupid teen comedy or slasher flick in the theater (or on DVD for that matter), but I was first in line for Jackass- Number Two because that's my guilty pleasure. Sure there were plenty of frat boy idiots in the theater with me who probably won't see a movie till Dane Cook's Employee Of The Month comes out, but Jackass will satisfy those even with the most distinguished taste in movies. The last time I laughed that loud and hard in a theater was probably The 40 Year-Old Virgin. The movie is just a longer version of what the show was. All it consists of is the gang doing crazy stunts, playing horrible pranks on each other, making animals really mad, and putting nasty things in their mouth. Now, the target audience of this movie are high school and college students. So, I'm sure that people over 35 will have no interest in seeing this movie whatsoever. Jackass will make even the strongest of the strong cringe from what they do. Does Steve-O attach a leach to his eyeball? Yes. Does Chris Pontius drink the semen of a horse? Yes. Do you get to see Wee Man's genitals? Yes. Also, yes, Johnny Knoxville does strap himself to a rocket. So, is Jackass entertaining? Absolutely. It just gets kinda old after the one hour mark.
  
  ACTING: N/A
  
  Bottom Line: Jackass can wait for DVD, it's not a must see. When you watch it, make sure you watch it with friends, because that way you won't feel so stupid for watching it.
  
  

• Still LMAO!!!

  
  By A1A14SEI1HTXZC on 2006-11-30
  I'm a 37 year old "lady" who went to see this movie not once...but, twice!! If I had a litte boy I'd want him to grow up and be just like Johnny K!! And, in reply to MR. Shakespere earlier...stick to "The Bard" and keep your head in your a*s with all the other dried up, smelly old turds like yourself!! Why on earth did you ever see Jackass 2 in the first place?! What were you expecting? Are you a homophobe or something? I bet you wife loves living with such a prude. Not married eh? Thought so...
  
  

• What a piece of ...

  
  By A3VLAZEPO9UJEA on 2006-11-11
  "What a piece of work is a man! how noble in reason! how infinite in faculty! in form and moving how express and admirable! in action how like an angel! in apprehension how like a god!"
  
  ~ William Shakespeare, "Hamlet", Act 2 scene 2
  
  Thus speaks the greatest of poets. Having seen Jackass Number Two (doubtless in expiation of some hideously appalling crime against humanity committed in a prior lifetime), I can now state definitively that WS never, NEVER saw a Jackass movie.
  
  
• * I never laughed so hard in my life.
  By A1E110L9ZKX6FD on 2006-11-30
  There is not much to write about a Jackass movie. Those that are into the show and the 1st film know what to expect from Johnny and company. The skits are more extreme and the laughs never stop. Sure after two viewings it's not as funny but for a 1st timer it may be one of the times in your life where you will laugh so hard for so long it actually hurts.
  
  I am looking forward to this being released on DVD for the extra skits. 29. Can't beat it.
  
  As much as these guys get panned for their low brow humor you have to give them credit for milking it for what it's worth. Their pain is our gain and kudos to them for having the balls to do some of these things because god knows you won't catch me doing any of it.
  
  There will never be another group of people to replace them once they stop doing Jackass for good.
  
  I still think they got one more over the top movie left in them and to be honest I can't wait to see it if it does happen.
  
  
• I'm with Stupid: The Movie
  By A18G7GG53G2X8A on 2006-09-23
  A review for a film like "Jackass: Number Two" has to be constructed differently; it's not a film with a plot so much as it's a collection of nearly unwatchable clips. The trailer for this film flashed some of the negative reviews for 2002's "Jackass: The Movie" across the screen: I distinctly remember one from a Christian newsletter claiming it was "a sad commentary on our degenerating culture." There's truth to that statement; only those of remarkably low standards could subject themselves to a series of reckless, painful, and disgusting stunts. Of course, that's probably why it found an audience. So is it any wonder that a second helping of utter stupidity came along? This new film is just as low grade and twice as nauseating as its predecessor, filled to the brim with pure, unabashed shamelessness.
  
  And yet, I'm giving it four stars--four stars for a film that doesn't deserve any. How can this be? I consider myself a fairly normal person that enjoys fairly normal activities. I also consider myself to be reasonably sane; not only would I never attempt any of the stunts performed by the "Jackass" bunch, I would never encourage anyone else to attempt them, as well. However, there's a small part of me that gets a kick out of reckless endangerment, the part stimulated at an early age by the violent yet undeniably funny antics of Saturday morning cartoons. I think, to some degree, we all have that part. Don't believe me? Consider ABC's "America's Funniest Home Videos"; while it is a tame show, it still makes an impression in much the same way that "Jackass" does. It uses footage of ill-conceived stunts and painful outcomes to generate laughs.
  
  "Jackass" was originally a television show that ran from 2000 to 2002 on the MTV network. It started as a way for actor Johnny Knoxville to test various self-defense devices on his own body (with a list including tazers and mace). It then grew into a regularly aired program and featured Bam Margera, Steve-O, Chris Pontius, Preston Lacy, Ryan Dunn, Dave England, and Jason "Wee Man" Acuna (among others). Every show opened with a disclaimer, one that emphatically stated no one should ever attempt any of the stunts they see. (Both films open in the same way.) Despite this legal technicality, the show has been blamed for the injuries and deaths of numerous teens. It also caused quite a stir for Joseph Liberman, Al Gore's vice presidential candidate in the 2000 election. His attempts to get it off the air backfired, only leading to the alienation of young Democratic voters and the resentment of the cast and crew.
  
  After the show's cancellation, the cast reunited in 2002 for the first film, which earned a respectable $60 million during its first weekend. This was my first exposure to the "Jackass" phenomenon, which I admit might have been too much for me to handle. Knoxville and his equally demented gang of thrill-seekers were finally free of television censorship, meaning the recklessness of their stunts dramatically increased. I watched feeling both awe and repulsion; with every bruise, scar, concussion, cut, and scrape they earned, I began to think that they must consider such marks as badges of honor. I can't say the same thing for all the inedible things they ate or for the rotten odors they forced themselves to breathe; these exploits were over the top at a level most people could never reach.
  
  Four years later, we have "Number Two," a film that does the exact opposite of raising the bar. I can only describe a handful of the stunts it has to offer (most of them are simply too disgusting and/or dangerous to repeat on a public website). Here are some of the "highlights" in no particular order. A topless, morbidly obese woman pounces on Wee Man in a prank featuring John Waters. Knoxville and Pontius wrestle an anaconda in a pool of plastic balls. An imposter replaces Bam's father to play a naughty bedtime prank on his mother. Some of the cast members sit on a rocket-powered bicycle that zooms into a lake. A special airbag is strategically placed behind a door, ready to punch anyone who dares to ring the bell. Last and certainly least; an elaborate prank goes too far when one of the cast members dresses as a terrorist and hitches a ride on a cab.
  
  There was another stunt that demands some examining. Early on, Dunn heats a penis-shaped branding iron and marks Bam's right buttock (the first of many naked rear ends seen in this film). Bam later shows the infected scar to his mother. Her reaction was strange; while she's understandably shocked, she's also quite passive about her son's lack of good judgment. How can anyone accept such radical behavior, especially when it could potentially cost a life? Dunn confesses that he was the one holding the iron, and it led to a cold yet compelling statement. When asked why he would do such a thing, he simply says, "Because it was funny." And there you have it: a phrase that explains the purpose of the entire "Jackass" franchise. It also explains why it's so popular with American twenty-somethings.
  
  No one in good conscience can recommend "Jackass: Number Two." Even with four stars, I'm not even considering doing that. The high rating is not related to the belief that it's suitable for mainstream audiences. Rather, it's based on my opinions of the cast and crew. I guess I admire such an uninhibited mindset; anyone who fully accepts the consequences of self-inflicted bodily harm must be a very secure person. Still, one wonders if he or she can't get a less dangerous adrenaline rush. To say that these performers are stupid would be kind. To say that they're willing to exploit themselves would be one of the biggest understatements of film history. When you get right down to it, any form of the "Jackass" franchise is unnecessary viewing at its most extreme. No one, and I really do mean no one, should have to sit through it.

• Want to know why teenagers are so gosh-darn screwed-up these days? Just look at Knoxville & his anti-social crew for starters!!!
  By A24L13Q1GJAS6U on 2008-04-16
  Contrary to moral relativists and Jackass apologists who downplay Jackass 2 as comedy or the immaturity common among teenagers, Jackass 2's popularity--and the following of the Jackass franchise--is an implication of where American and western society's heading: into the gutter of depraved indecency!!!! An incrimination of the low-mindedness lowlifes celebrate in this Jackass 2 movie was seen when it defied all odds of sanity or justice by debuting at number one when it came out!!!! In analyzing Jackass 2's noticeable success, where even the makers of the movie had to be self-deprecating about their chances of repeating the success from the first movie, one has to resist the temptation to write off the moviegoers as merely asinine and misled teens. Ghoulishly, many immature and dissolute adults entertain their lowbrow, inner desires by buying this DVD.
  
  Jackass 2 cannot qualify as a movie since movies have a plot, maybe a theme, some conflict, and character development. Flagrantly, Jackass 2 is more of the same mischief: Knoxville, Steve-O, Pontius et al connive to get together for more anti-social stunts which are just perilous and self-destructive. Many teenagers, clearly neglected by their parents and free to pursue copying Jackass' stunts due to feeling a void in their useless lives, have imitated Jackass' toxic stunts, so these films and series are definitely affecting society in a polluting way.
  
  An impartial count by the "Screen-It" Movie Review website found 135 f-words, 39 MoFos, 19 d#@k/c---su#*er, and 22 a#@holes. This is only the beginning of the lewd profanity unconvincingly described as "comedy" that's scattered throughout Jackass 2. It has no redeemable qualities because the "humor" isn't funny; it's simply slapping together unconventionally perverse situations which get the audience to utter nervous laughter due to the shocking perversity of the stunts. For instance, semen is lustfully collected from the erect p*nis of a horse, and a man has a phallus (for all the mentally immature adults viewing Jackass 2, they'll need to check a dictionary for the definition of phallus) blasted up his derriere!!!! Nothing is even remotely "funny" about this; if one finds this "funny" there are only three choices. Either they're being intellectually dishonest, have the maturity level of an anti-social teen, or are so obscenely deteriorated.
  
  The overall ratings for Jackass 2 should be one star at the most if we lived in a morally upstanding society, but we don't, regrettably. Egregious nudity to get the moral-reprobate audience off is rampant with men and women totally nude; again, there's nothing "funny" or remotely defensible about this nudity since it's softcore p*rn. Worse than this is the miscreant means for which human nudity is misused: for instance, a man's p*nis is actually put through the hole of a snake cage. The reviewers mendaciously defending this sm*t-film are villains. From this content of the movie, you'd seriously have to be debauched, mentally underdeveloped, or just asinine to enjoy this. "Movies" such as this used to be relegated to red-light districts, and most of Jackass 2 is more extreme and shocking than any snuff or p*rn film.
  
  The only abominations remotely capable of being passed off as lowlife humor are scenes of drinking horse semen (Fear Factor never stooped this low), eating horse manure, the stimulating sight of freshly passed human excrement, and stoners and drunks vomiting in graphic glorification!!!! With all these increasingly damning descriptions of the content of Jackass 2, it's clear that the only people enjoying this depravity are mentally ill, as it's incrementally clear that no sane or good human being could derive entertainment value from this degeneration.
  
  Besides these contraventions of human dignity, Jackass 2 endorses abysmally unethical misconduct and/or harmful misconduct. Alcohol is used in almost every other scene; Knoxville is in a scene corrupting a child, as this child drinks alcohol from a brown paper bag; Bam has his b*tt branded several times, resulting in three brandings of a p*nis and a scrotum outline; and one probably liberal and therefore hopelessly lost man has his scrotum frozen to small ice sculptures and when it does, Knoxville pushes him off so hard that pubic hair and excrement remain on the sculptures!!!!
  
  All the other reviewers except for me were unscrupulously downplaying the noxiousness of Jackass 2 by disguising it as mere immaturity or humor--that's why they deceitfully omitted presenting the content of the DVD. In grim reality, even immature teens or p*rverts couldn't really get a rise out of Jackass if they tried; one must be mentally ill or a complete rogue to tolerate this end-of-the-world sacrilege passed off as a movie. I watched the DVD just to be able to unmask all the sm*t in
  it. After reading my review of Jackass' content, how can any sane or moral person buy this foulness?!
  
  
  
  
• Funniest movie of the YEAR!!
  By A1DIYBVCWIU7AJ on 2006-12-24
  I would give this movie 10 stars if I could. I laughed so hard in the theatre I almost fell out of my chair and I was sore for literally 3-4 days afterward from laughing so hard. I can't WAIT to buy the dvd and see the Unrated version! The laughs just keep coming constantly..it never lets up! Enjoy this masterpiece! :)

• Funniest movie EVER!!!!!!!!
  By on 2006-09-30
  Saying this movie was really funny is an understatement to how funny this movie really is. This movie will have u laugh, cringe and make you throw up in a good way all at the same time. Now like people who saw the movie said there are definately scenes that you may look away from because of how disgusting they are. So I will tell you some of the funniest non nude stunts in the movie. There are a lot. One of the funniest is the firehose rodeo where Dave England actually rides a firehose and flies off of it. How he walks right after he flew off is hilarious. Another stunt is one that was pulled as a prank on the Jackass crew. There was this sign on the wall of them being here. What they don't know is there is a punching bag right behind it. Another funny one involved Brandon Novak and when he skied down the stairway in April and Phil's house, and there was of course the Phil switcheroo where Phil is replaced by a sex craved other Phil,There was also the infamous Rocket scene where Knoxville flies 60 feet in the air and lands into the water. There was also the Gauntlet where people try to avoid sandbags and they all get hurt. There was also the rocket shopping cart and the jet propelled bike where Matt Hoffman nails a sick move. and the funniest was the bungee jump. Where Preston Lacy was anchoring Wee man for the bungee jump and well lets say he gave way. Now this movie does get 5 stars but there is at least 2 problems with the movie that will most likely appear on the dvd in deleted scenes one that was never shown in the movie was where all the guys dress up as animals and go all around India, and the other which was advertised in the trailer was the infamous tooth pool thing involving Don Vito. I was a little bit disapointed that wasn't in the movie, but other then that it was the greatest movie I've ever seen. Don't listen to those guys that said it was bad. Go see it even a Jackass hater may like this movie.
  
  
• Soooo funny, better than the 1st one!
  By A58AWAXAOAEJB on 2006-11-22
  Jackass 2 was one of the funniest movies I've seen in a long time. I actually had to see it a 2nd time cuz I just couldn't get enough. My favorite skits were the bungee jump & Pontius w/the horse...I was crying from laughing so hard.
  
  Girls, loosen up some & go watch this movie...I did & all my girlfriends thought I was nuts. My boyfriend was even shocked w/how much I loved the movie. Everyone needs to quit being so critical about the way these guys have a good time. Laugh & enjoy yourself! I did & I can't wait to buy the DVD!
  
  
• Hey
  By A4JP4T1F95D0A on 2007-01-03
  This rating is based on the type of movie this is. For a fun pointless film, this entertained me. It certainly will not be for everyone with the violence, the throwing up, the crapping, and countless disgusting acts. While I can't believe someone hasn't gotten seriously hurt, the actors involved seem to revel in the pain. It's like watching America's Funniest Home videos and Punk'd times 10. Have a strong stomach and have some fun.
  
  
• For the 13 year-old In Us All
  By A3AULUO1X4XON7 on 2007-01-05
  You already know if this type of thing is for you or not. I will say this: take everything hilarious, disturbing, digusting, and juvenile about the first Jackass movie and multiply it by one hundred and you have Jackass: Number Two. Absolutely nothing is sacred to Knoxville and his cohorts. You'll laugh so hard you'll cry. You'll throw up a little bit in your mouth. You'll wonder how these guys come up with these sorts of pranks. Underneath it all you *might* just see that we ALL are jackasses -the conservatives, the ultra-PC crowd, the homophobes and the haters. See this film, and see yourself in it.
  
  
• New and improved, still too crude for most people.
  By AELK0E5DK7LIZ on 2006-09-25
  I started laughing 4 minutes into the movie and never stopped.
  This is the kind of movie that you will keep talking about.
  
  Here are some highlights... suitable for Amazon:
  Toro Totter - four members of the gang climb on a massive rotating see-saw and try to dodge a bull.
  Firehose Rodeo - one of the gang tries to hold onto a firehose suspended from a crane, while it is spraying water.
  
  Do not watch this movie if you are offended by nudity and drinking.
  
  
• Better than the first movie
  By A17O7AGDZPOJSS on 2006-10-29
  Alright usually second movies are not better than the first with the exception of this movie which exceeds the first. If you watch this movie you are guarenteed to laugh in if not all almost every scene as I did when I saw it in the theater. I saw the first one and laughed but dont remember laughing as hard or as in many scenes.
  
  In this movie they do a lot of scenes with the old people costume gig thingy and there are a few more scenes with preston lacy and wee-man than normal. All in all Johnny Knoxville reigns the star as he did in the first movie doing the more crude painfull things
  
  My only dissapointment was that there was not one party boy skit
  Chris Pontious did not contribute as much as he did in the previous movie nor did Ryan Dunn but who actually laughs at Dunn Bam had some good parts especially fooling with ape the fat boy switch lol
  
  If you liked the first movie you will love this one if you dont like it better than there is something wrong with you
  
  You thought that they where out of ideas well this one was full of new ones
  
  
• The Best Movie of the Year
  By A5AJWPBNJ43AK on 2006-12-27
  I watch alot of movies and I must say..All and all this was the most enjoyable movie of the year...Maybe I'm just sick but I laughed, cringed and belted out many "OOOOHHH's" in the theatre. If you like Jackass 1 then you will love this. Way better than the firt one. Johnny's a nutball and BAM get's Pawned in more ways than one..LOL!! Highly reccomended addition to the DVD collection.
  
  
• More great comedy
  By A175GIISFGGO31 on 2006-12-27
  Well to be perfectly honest I liked the first movie better....but this one is really good just the same. The guys perform wild stunts and its really funny.
  
  
  
  
  
• TORTURE. I enjoyed the first one but, this was
  By ARMZUNUSAZJZG on 2006-12-27
  just a bunch of retards torturing themselves and animals. I won't watch another one. This should be banned. The faces of death are more interesting and less torture than this.
  
  
• Can someone tell me why this is funny?????
  By A1A6ZLTRM0DAEP on 2007-01-01
  This is the worst, most stupied thing I have ever seen on film. What is so funny about a group of grown men acting like idiots? I really feel sorry for these guys. What is wrong with them and what is wrong with people that actually think this is entertaining? Why is it entertainment to watch someone hurt themselves? This movie is about watching people vomit, hurt and degrade themselves. I didn't this was entertaining or funny or interesting and I worry about what kind of society we live in that anyone would pay money to watch something like this. I hate to even rate this with one star but I had no choice.
  
  
• something for the "boys"
  By ACXUTQ80P4MWC on 2007-03-13
  got this for my husband, who laughed through the entire movie, and since he asked me to watch it with him (why, I'll never know), I sat and cringed through the entire movie. The title says it all...
  
  
• Jackass RULES!!!!
  By A1TNJ89ESJ1OA2 on 2006-07-03
  I LOVE Jackass. The first movie was amazing and this one looks better. I CAN'T WAIT!!!
  
  
• Better than the First!!!
  By A1PMPTRPAU6H5A on 2006-09-24
  I just saw Jackass: Number Two last night. It was the funniest movie I have ever seen by far. I did not stop laughing the entire time.(exept for the skit with the horse, that was absolutly disgusting).
  This time around the stunts are bigger, hurt more, and are much more stupid.
  I hope everyone see's this film (if your over 18). There is alot of nudity and vulgur obsenity's.
  
  
• I almost puked...
  By A3LMZDOYFF3X4K on 2006-10-07
  This movie was hilarious. It was about 3 times more disgusting than the first. That is the only big difference. There is a scene where Chris Pontius takes horse cum in a glass and takes a shot of it. I gagged a little bit and could have puked. I'm betting that there were people who puked while seeing this movie. But it is a good movie and I recommend seeing it.
  
  
• Ouch!!!
  By A1435P5AMCPB3X on 2006-12-28
  This movie just plain hurt to watch all the way through. I was laughing hard because these folks do the dumb things people only talk about. The first movie was a classic (what can top rental car crash up derby), and this one just took the vulgarity and pain to a new level. This had many things that involved insertion of objects into or coming from an oraface that is usualy ment for exit only, and many things that just turn your stomach and make you want to hide behind your hands like a horror flick. Johnny knoxville is just plain funny, and bam's parents have to be the most understanding in the world. Best sketch is the switcheroo, just funny. So check this out, but definately not for kids or the faint of heart.
  
  
• Good, but not great
  By ACDRXGW0B2CGV on 2006-12-30
  My first exposure to the Jackass crew was when I purchased the first movie on DVD. I had never seen the tv show before, but my brother said the movie was funny. He was right. Jackass the movie is a five star movie in my opinion. The gags were a great combination of gross, painful to watch and just plain silly.
  
  So I was excited to hear that the boys had gotten back together to make another Jackass movie. In the making of the film, we are told that the second installment is much better than the first. Knoxville makes the comment that there were things that were in the first film that he didn't think were that great looking back on it. Not so of the second he tells us.
  
  I have to disagree with him. While I found Jackass II to be funny and entertaining, it wasn't nearly as good as the first one. There were times in this movie that I thought they were just "phoning" it in. The gags weren't as creative as the first and there were cast members from the first that were missing from the second, despite the fact that in the making of documentary Knoxville said that all of the cast was back for the second. Not true. Where is Raab? Where is Rake? Not only that but there was no mention of Brandon DiCamillo in the opening credits, yet he appears in the film, although very briefly and has no real involvement in any of the gags.
  
  Pontius has very little involvement in the gags compared to the first one, although the horse milking gag was one of the best in the film. Why? Pontius was hilarious in the first one with his Party Boy scenes. Party Boy isn't to be found here at all, other than in the closing credits as an afterthought.
  
  The first film seemed to have more chemistry amongst the cast. This time, it seemed as if they were casual acquaintances. Maybe that is a function of the boys doing their own separate projects, but I just didn't get the same feel I did from the first film.
  
  If you liked the first Jackass, I still think that this film is a good investment and you should get it. My advice would be not to go into it with high expectations, because I believe you will be disappointed.
  
  Still, this movie is better than alot of garbage that Hollywood dishes out these days.
  
  
• Humorous but Inferior to the Original.
  By A34PAZQ73SL163 on 2007-01-01
  I loved the original but I agree that this one eventually got rather tiresome. Much of the spontaneity evaporates and there's only so much masochism which can be digested in one sitting. As always though, it will appeal endlessly to adolescent males. Some of the stunts are of the laugh out loud variety, and the humor will be apparent to most people. The interesting thing about these fellows is that they are the definition of thrill seeking personality. Most of us would want nothing to do with the type of adrenaline rushes they lust. It's the type of fun for which you're glad to be on the outside looking in.
  
  
• And My Wife Calls Meeee A Jackass?!
  By A3KKM0T1KY42HA on 2007-01-03
  Man, these guys are nuts. There are pranks. There are stunts. There's self-mutilation. There's absolute disgust.
  
  It's hilarious. It's amazing. It's shocking. It's offensive. And it's disgusting. But for what it's trying to do it's the best in the business (can I really call this a business???).
  
  Watching with my sister-in-law, I felt embarrassed just for renting Jackass - Number Two as each segment rolled...like I was condoning the behavior and/or the unspeakable acts. Rest assured I do not...or do I?
  
  After a brief opening of credits rolling over a skit of the cast being chased by bulls through a suburban neighborhood, they whack you right over the head from the get-go with a shocker...let's just call the skit "snake on snake". So do I condone it? Heck no!
  
  But is it effective entertainment? Is it affective entertainment? Oh, yes and yes. During the show there were plenty of audible gasps from my sister-in-law and me. We laughed a lot. Many times we smacked our hands to our head simultaneously in disbelief as we realized what was about to happen. But we never turned it off. We anxiously awaited the next skit; we just had to see what these guys would do next. We wanted to keep watching....That's effective entertainment. The mentally exhausted feeling after the movie was over?....That's affective entertainment.
  
  I was compelled to keep watching. So do I condone it? Just because I watched it, does that mean I condone it? No. The idiots that condone it go out and try doing this stuff after seeing it.
  
  Jackass - Number Two is not for anyone that is easily offended; your sense of humor really needs to have warped section. But in this day and age where some crazy stuff can be seen on the Internet on any given day, why not just sit back with Jackass - Number Two in your DVD player instead of searching The Web?
  
  Bottom line: It was a very good rental.
  
  
  
• One of the Funniest Films of 2006
  By A34D06JL7LC6MU on 2007-01-07
  We all know about Jackass, that MTV show that featured a bunch of idiots doing idiotic (and dangerous) stuff all in the name of comedy. Then came the movie and something strange happened...It was a huge hit and received critical acclaim. With Johnny Knoxville becoming a popular movie star, it looked like "Jackass" was done and than "Jackass Number Two" was released...The film became a box-office smash and a critical success. John Waters (who makes a cameo in the film) said on Craig Ferguson (I'm paraphrasing...Really) "I'm glad that a movie about a bunch of guys defecating, getting chased by bulls, and wearing fart masks has become such a success." Johnny Knoxville, Bam Margera, Steve-O, Ryan Dunn, Wee Man, Preston Lacy, Dave England, and Ehren McGhehey get chased by bulls, hit in the face, kicked in the nuts, give a kid alcohol (wink-wink), throw up, walk around naked, rig chairs with electric currents, dump bees into a limo, brand themselves, get shot with 500-mile per hour rubber balls, dress up as terrorists,
  defecate A LOT, pierce fishhooks through their cheeks, ride a firehose, and much more outrageous stuff. I saw the first movie after it came out, but remember little about it. I don't know if this one is as good, but it's hilarious. I don't know what it is about watching a group of guys hurt themselves and pull stupid, dangerous, and immature pranks that makes me laugh so hard. This movie only proves further that watching people get hurt IS hilarious. It's not for everybody, but this is one of the funniest movies of 2006.
