Why We Rated This off for Ages 16 and Under

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    Viewers are warned not to try the stunts at home, but that doesn't make up for the fact that these guys are poster boys for terrible behavior. They constantly fight with and taunt each other and make fun of others. Some of their pranks are designed to shock or alarm other people. The cast is virtually entirely male.
  • Violence:

    The guys' bodies undergo incessant abuse -- by bulls charging and tossing, snakes biting (producing blood), hammers and other objects slamming, riot-land mines firing, rockets exploding, falling, leaping, freezing, beating, kicking, sliding, colliding; crashing vehicles (shopping carts, skateboards); a gun is wielded to frighten a prank victim; crotches are hit or kicked repeatedly.
  • Sex:

    Frequent shots of naked bottoms, penises, scrotums, and pubic areas; a large naked woman drops onto Wee Man in an act of simulated sex (this is repeated with a large man later); "milking" of stallion to obtain sperm (which the guys then drink from a jar); images of objects and fluids put up rectums (beer and dildo); Spike Jonze appears in old-lady drag, with droopy bosoms visible (with the goal being to alarm passers-by).
  • Language:

    Over 130 "f--s," as well as frequent use of other assorted other profanity ("hell," "s--t," "ass," etc.).
  • Consumerism:

    At this point, Jackass is its own brand name, with T-shirts, DVDs, and other products available.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Smoking cigarettes, drinking beers. In one skit, Knoxville-as-Grandpa pretends to have his "grandson" both smoke and drink from a bottle (in a paper bag) in a public place, enraging onlookers.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Jackass: Number Two

Parents need to know that this entire film is a series of physically and emotionally abusive pranks and stunts. They're designed for laughs (and the cast members do frequently laugh at each other's pain and antics), but they're also often plainly harmful, producing blood, bruises, and burns. Violence includes falls, vehicle and body collisions, snake bites, charging bulls, and people being punched, hit, kicked, and crashing through glass. Nudity is also rampant, including shots of naked rear ends, male genitalia, and a naked woman. One player's mother appears in bed with a man who's not her husband (the joke is on her) -- she wears a nightdress, he's in his underpants. A man appears in old-lady drag, exposing "her" droopy breasts to passers-by, who are duly upset. Language includes relentless use of "f--k," as well as other obscenities. Some cigarette-smoking and beer-drinking.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about why this sort of physical abuse is considered comedy. What's funny about these extreme pranks and stunts? How does the guys' own laughter encourage viewers to laugh, too? What role did MTV play in helping make these one-time skater dudes famous? Is the rush from performing these silly, wacky, and outrageous stunts worth the trouble? Families can also discuss the difference between daring and bad taste. Where do you draw the line? And what about when other people are involved? What's the difference between playing a funny practical joke and being cruel?

    This was even more dangerous that #1

  2. I rate this title iffy for age 17 and give it 3.0
    My concerns are:
    • Excessive violence
    • Inappropriate sexual content
    • Negative role models

    Tons of stunts performed that kids may imitate. It's also pretty gross, definitely not for anyone under 14, even then anyone who has a tendency to imitate should not watch this film. This film was funnier than the first one in my opinion.

    extremely stupid

    This movie is completely pointless. It is so sick and digusting. It almost made me throw up. I can't believe there are people out there willing to do these stupid stunts. Do not watch this movie!

    Sexist Folk

    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.

    It's certainly not for everyone.

    There's some nudity and a LOT of swearing, but would you rather have your kid watching something funny like Jackass or something violent and scary like Saw IV? In my mind, the big issue is whether or not kids know not to do this stuff at home. This may be okay for some teens and not okay for others.

    Stupid and Funny

    Stupid, thats y i love it so much, and thats y its so hilarious. One of my favorite movies of all time. I think the Average 12 year old boy is ok to watch this(as long as they dont like to copy them), im not sure about girls though cause it does show penises,scrotums, ect, as long as the can handle it.

    Bleh

    Horrible movie. My husband said it was much worse than the first one, which he liked. The horse part was disgusting. And they were all showing their private areas all the time.

    Woot...

    Okay first of all, jackass was NEVER made for 10 y/o to go and watch. 2. Jackass is the same as saying Donkey and as an equine specialist, i hear this tearm used ALOT.. it's really not that offensive. 3. this movie wasn't made to be serious or make sense. The jackass cast make fun of the movie in deleted scenes and special features. They love that you hate it! 4. If you're children are repeating what they hear on the television, maybe you should teach them what the words accatuly mean. 5.Lastly, Doing stuff like this is what Johnny Knoxville and Bam Margera are known to do. Common sense would say, if you didn;t like what they did in the first, WHY WOULD YOU GO AND SEE THE SECOND!?!?!?!?!?

    good laugh

    I think that this movie was halarious. They do a lot of stupid things but if you are already 14 or 15 and can't control yourself and think that you can be just like them, you are not ready to see movies like these. Just use some common sense and if you are at least 14 and can do that, it is totally fine to see this movie.

    I walked out

    Whatever you do, don't take your kids to see this movie. I wouldn't even take a 17 year old. This is beyond stupid in that it involves doing mainly, stupid sexual things to others. There is nothing good to come out of this movie. The couple that talked us into going had seen the first movie. After, they said that the first movie was nothing like this one. They were disgusted as well. DON"T WASTE YOUR MONEY!
