Why We Rated This off for Ages 16 and Under

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    These guys aren't trying to make any sort of statement with their stunts; they just seem to enjoy putting themselves in disgusting or dangerous situations. How they're considered "professionals" is still a mystery. While a couple of the skits tested various crew members' limits, they never seem upset afterward.
  • Violence:

    Since this is "B" material leftover from Jackass: Number Two, there's actually a tad less violence in the stunts, but they're obviously still dangerous. The crew is hurt in all sorts of creative ways, especially in the crotch or buttocks. One guy lies down on a bed of nails with snakes on top of him. Another guy tries to fly a kite out of his buttocks, etc. And one guy is able to defecate on cue. There are also other relatively tame pranks.
  • Sex:

    No sex, but several glimpses of male genitalia, both real and displayed on T-shirts, posters, etc. Even more frequent shots of the crew bare-bottomed, including lots of close-ups of the guys inserting things in their anuses. In one scene, a naked morbidly obese woman is momentarily lowered onto a nearly nude Wee Man for skit.
  • Language:

    There are no scenes without at least one of the crew cursing -- even, in Bam's case, to his own parents. "F--k," "s--t," "c--k," "bitch," and "ass" are the most common.
  • Consumerism:

    In addition to Jackass and its MTV spin-off Wildboyz, the film features Bam's Lamborghini.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Preston takes four Xanax to perform a skit; the crew drinks on set and discusses being drunk.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Jackass 2.5

Parents need to know that they can expect more of the usual from the Jackass crew this time around: dangerous and often downright stupid stunts and pranks (like seeing how hard a snapping turtle will bite their nose or whether baby powder can be used to show the precise moment flatulence leaves the body). This DVD is compiled from material leftover from Jackass: Number Two, so it tends to be lower-concept stuff that the filmmakers rejected for the theatrically released movie. Expect shots of naked butts, male genitalia (and penis posters and T-shirts), men drinking or being sprayed with urine, a man able to defecate at will for the camera, a nude morbidly obese woman sitting on Wee Man (who is a Little Person), and more. Oh, and incessant swearing, too.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about why these stunts come with a warning at the beginning and the end. Whose fault is it if fans try to mimic the crew and end up seriously hurt? Teens: Does the crew's behavior make you want to try an elaborate prank yourself? Do you think the crew acts responsibly when they perform their "skits"? Families can also discuss why this sort of physical abuse is considered comedy. What's funny about these extreme pranks and stunts?

    I rate this title iffy for age 2 and give it 3.0

    Insult

    O.k. I'm sorry, this isn't much of a review, but look at all the descriptions for the Jackass things on this site. They all say something about "It's all a bunch of immature boys" or "No wonder there aren't any women on here." The basic anti-male stuff. I'm a guy and I actually take great offense to the amount of anti-male sexism in todays world. For example: Try to find one commercial where the guy or dad isn't portrayed as a lazy bum, slob, loser, or just a clueless guy. The guys in commercials are always clueless!! It's insulting- we do more than drink beer.
