Synopsis

A compilation of various stunts, pranks and skits, the film opens by introducing the primary cast members while bulls chase them in a suburban neighborhood.

The most notable stunts include; Johnny Knoxville sitting on a big red rocket which gets launched into the air, Bam Margera being stuck in a trailer with a cobra, Chris Pontius' penis dressed as a mouse while a snake attempts to bite it, Steve-O getting his cheek pierced by a fish hook and getting thrown into the shark infested Gulf of Mexico, Ryan Dunn being launched into a garage door while riding a shopping cart, Dave England riding a giant firehose that launches him into a patch of mud, Wee Man getting zapped by an electric stool upon believing that cards are being thrown at him, Ehren McGhehey attempting the loop while riding a pocketbike, and Preston Lacy disguising himself as Bam's father to spoon with Bam's mother in bed.

The final bit is a prank orchestrated by the cast on Ehren McGhehey in which he dresses up as a terrorist along with cinematographer Dimitry Elyashkevich, and take a taxi to the airport and convince the driver that they are going to blow up a plane. In reality, the driver is swapped with director Jay Chandrasekhar, who becomes violent with Ehren when he attempts to initiate the prank. The taxi pulls into a lot where a panicked Ehren is forced into the trunk and Jay drives around the lot in circles. When the car comes to a stop, Ehren is relieved to discover that it is a prank and was not in serious danger. However, it is also revealed to Ehren that the beard that was put on him as part of the bit was made up of pubic hair by a majority of the cast and crew, one of whom happened to have crabs, after which Ehren gets angry and dry heaves.

The movie concludes with Johnny Knoxville putting his hand in a bear trap, before transitioning into a performance by the main cast in a Busby Berkeley-style movie musical production number set to the La Cage aux Folles song "The Best of Times", where the guys sing and dance while performing more stunts. After a wrecking ball hits Knoxville, Rip Taylor appears to end the movie much like in the predecessor.

Cast

The entire main cast from Jackass: The Movie returned for the sequel.

Stunts including Jackass and Viva La Bam regular Don Vito were also filmed and shown in previews. However, due to the scandal surrounding his arrest just prior to the film's release and the nature of the charges against him, all the scenes involving Don Vito were cut.

Notable exceptions are Raab Himself, who was battling alcoholism and drug addiction at the time, and Rake Yohn, who did however appear in the film's sequel Jackass 2.5. They both were recurring cast members in the Jackass TV show and in the first Jackass movie. Ryan Dunn approached Raab to appear in the movie, however, he declined the offer.[4]

Production

Shooting began on January 30, 2006, and ended on June 23, 2006.[5][6] The Jackass cast refused to divulge where they were filming, out of fear of fans interfering with the filming process. However, they have filmed in India, Australia, England, Moscow and Argentina. A few insights were leaked prior to the movie's release by Steve-O and Bam Margera via Radio Bam and Loveline. Other shootings were Bull Shoals, Arkansas; Key West, Florida; Los Angeles, California; Miami, Florida; New Orleans, Louisiana; New York City, New York; and West Chester, Pennsylvania. Even after completing enough footage for Number Two, Knoxville encouraged everyone to stay together and film more stunts (most of these stunts ultimately released with 2.5), willing to even put himself at further risk of injury simply because he didn't want to part with the group so soon.

The stunt "How to Milk a Horse" was originally shot for Wildboyz, but was saved for future use.[7] "The idea to drink the horse semen was not actually planned but was "in the back of everyone's mind."[8] To agree to do the stunt, Chris Pontius asked director Jeff Tremaine for a full day off of work, but discouraged doing so since Pontius had missed work the day before.[9] Additionally on screen Chris Pontius stated to Jeff Tremaine "This is going to make up for something bad I'm going to do in the future." This deal was verbally agreed upon and sealed with a handshake; it was also noted that said deal was videotaped for the camera.

Deleted scenes that were also filmed but weren't in the final film and Jackass 2.5 include, "The Lamborghini Tooth Pull" with Don Vito (which would later be performed in Jackass 3D, however, it would be performed by Ehren McGhehey rather than Don Vito); "The Human Newton's cradle" where Don Vito, Bam Margera, Steve-O, Preston Lacy, and Brandon DiCamillo were the "spheres" for a life size Newton's cradle; "Meatball Sling Shot" where Bam slingshots a meatball in Vito's face (which was also performed by Phil Margera in Jackass 2.5); "SWAT Team Wake Up" where a SWAT Team wake Johnny Knoxville up by blowing the door to his motel room up; "Wee Baby" where Wee Man is dressed as a baby and put in a box in an attempt to get shipped out through the mail; "Unicycle Hellride" where Steve-O rides a unicycle over hot coals; "Balloon Flight" where Bam has balloons tied to him which causes him to float in the sky, he then uses a pellet gun to shoot the balloons with to slowly descend into a lake; and "Ignited Farts", where Bam, Steve-O, Ryan Dunn, Chris Pontius, and Dave England would get in a bathtub and try to ignite their farts underwater, ending with Dave defecating by accident. Although they were deleted, some of the deleted scenes are briefly shown in the credits and/or the making of Jackass Number Two and Jackass 2.5. A short clip of the tooth pull scene appeared in the trailer for Jackass Number Two, a photo of the human Newton's cradle was released, and the entire "Ignited Farts" sequence was once available on the Jackass World website, but has since disappeared following the websites closure. A slightly longer clip of the scene was included in the fourth film, Jackass Forever.

Screenings and release

The film had 4 different screenings for fans of Jackass and MySpace users, which was a part of MySpace's "Black Carpet" screening. The screenings took place a few days before the movie was released (possibly August). Some of the screenings also had surprise visits by cast and crew. For example, the Pennsylvania screening had director Jeff Tremaine and cast members Johnny Knoxville and Bam Margera.

On June 15, 2006, Yahoo! released the first official teaser for the movie.[10] The stunts in the trailer included Knoxville riding a "rocket bike" off a ramp and a blindfolded Knoxville being rammed by a yak.

The film was released on DVD on December 26, 2006, in its R-rated version in full and widescreen, and in widescreen in the unrated version.[11]

Box office

Jackass Number Two opened on September 22, 2006, in 3,900 screens at 3,059 theaters. It debuted at number one on its opening weekend with a total gross of $29 million.[2] On its first day in theaters Jackass Number Two matched its $11.5 million production budget.[2] The film grossed an additional $14 million in its second week.

Critical reception

Review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reports a 64% approval rating from 103 critic reviews; the average rating is 6.00/10. The general consensus reads: "Better than any sequel to the movie of a television show has a right to be, Jackass Number Two dares you not to laugh."[12] On Metacritic, the film has a rating of 66 out of 100 based on 23 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[13] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "B+" on an A+ to F scale.[14]

The New York Times awarded Jackass Number Two a Critic's Pick, writing, "Debased, infantile and reckless in the extreme, this compendium of body bravado and malfunction makes for some of the most fearless, liberated and cathartic comedy in modern movies."[15] On Ebert & Roeper, Richard Roeper and guest critic Fred Willard gave Jackass Number Two a "Two Thumbs Up" rating.[16][17]

Soundtrack

The soundtrack was released on September 26, 2006, by Bulletproof Records. The soundtrack features songs that were featured in the movie, and various audio clips from the movie. Among the new songs included in the soundtrack are "Gettin' Fucked Up" – a collaboration between rap group Three Six Mafia (who themselves briefly appear in the film) and Josey Scott, lead singer of heavy metal band Saliva – and "Backass" – a collaboration between electroclash musician Peaches and Karen O, lead singer of the indie rock trio Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
