Jackass 2.5 (2007)

This is leftover from Jackass Number Two. Preston Lacy as King Kong on port-a-potties looks great and imaginative. I wish they put cameras on the planes to get more of an action sequence. The guys also sometimes comment after the stunts which give it a behind-the-scene feel. The stunts are all Jackass style. For fans of Johnny Knoxville and the boys, this is right up their backdoor alley. For me, it gets a bit repetitive and the guys explaining their scenes is not that compelling. I think some have suggested this would be better as a DVD extra. This is more like enough material for a half of a Jackass movie. The cannibalistic Indian tribe is kind of interesting but these guys are not the ones to try to explain their society.

People have been raving about how they hate this film so much and it should have been a contemporary disc but i honestly don't think it's that bad it's probably the worst in the series but that is not saying much. It's very sexually explicit it is probably deserving of the R rating in Canada but otherwise i liked it, but regarding everything i just said it's probably;y more of a rent movie. Some of the scenes really shock you like bam showing his d**k and johny likewise it makes you not like them as much as you did with the others but the rest don't surprise you, and this film is like all about bam he is in like every one of the sketches so if you not a big bam fan this isn't film for you but it's OK 7/10

Upon learning there were to be a Jackass 2.5 to be released, i was indeed over the moon. I also learned that it consisted of all the bonus footage from the filming of Jackass No.2 STOP! Although it would be true to say this film is comprised of "bonus footage" from the main film, it would be more accurate to say this film is comprised of "failed footage" from the main film.Reading some of the other articles on this "straight to video" release, I found myself agreeing with many of the opinions mentioned. Jackass 2.5 is basically a glamourised bonus feature, that (in my opinion) should of appeared on a 2nd bonus disc available with the main film, The content, although very funny, is not strong enough to stand on its own. Still, it is a great watch for the hardcore jackass fans with some hilarious skits (the best of which both involve Prestons' enlarge rump!) The biggest let down for me was Bam Margeras' overly-eager gayness, it seemed to transform the flow if the skits into the lowliest of gay porn. I understand that the show is all about pain and humiliation but excitedly wanting to do such things to your ,ahem, "exit hole" makes it a little too ...... seedy! Still, despite the above, it made for enjoyable watch, lets face it, being in the foreshadow of the amazing Jackass No2, it was a tough bill to beat. And im sure Jackass 2.5 has generated a lot of "bad press," but i hope it ain't put the guys off making a third installment of the now legendary Jackass Anthology! Mike Gibson - [email protected]

First off, let me say that I'm a huge Jackass fan. I have been since the first episode aired on MTV in 2000. I remember seeing both Jackass movies in the theaters and loved them both. They were hysterical. So, when I heard there was a web-only release of a new Jackass film I was very, very excited.Well I just finished watching the film and, I must say, I was quite disappointed. When watching you must keep in mind that what you are seeing were scenes that wound up on the cutting-room floor from the second film. The stunts are kind of boring. The cast lacks their usual enthusiasm. And it looks like age, money, and fame have had their effects on the entire crew.When Jackass first started it was a bunch of guys who no one knew and and had no money. Just doing stunts for the fun of it. Now you watch and it seems like they're washed-up, old, and just out to make a few more bucks.I'm optimistic that the newly announced Jackass 3 will get back to the roots of the original show. But, as for Jackass 2.5, I was thoroughly disappointed.
