Therefore, it’s no surprise that Jackass 3D took in a whopping
$171M at the worldwide Box Office (costing just over $20M to make - cha
ching!) – setting the record for the biggest October weekend ever at
the American Box Office.
It easily beat out the previous record
(held by it’s predecessor Jackass : Number Two which took in close to
$30M on opening weekend) and now means the Jackass movies have made
over $335M worldwide alone (and have cost less than $40M to make all
three combined).
Jackass started as a TV stunt and prank show on
MTV from 2000 to 2002 and quickly turned into an international
phenomenon. Johnny Knoxville and company return for the third
installment of their TV show spin-off, where dangerous stunts and
explicit public displays rule.
The question is : Can these ageing fools still be shocking almost 10 years after their prime? The short answer : Hell Yes!
While
the level of "Fun" the guys are having appears a little more forced
than usual (and why wouldn't it, these are no longer drunk teens - but
grown men with families), the sheer silliness of the who excercise is
truly infectious.
Whether it's Johnny Knoxville dressed up
as an old man on a scooter crashing through windows (addmitedly,
the weakest part of the entire film), or Ryan Dunn getting blasted in
the face by a Jet Engine, a giant hand slapping the bejesus out of
unsuspecting idiots - or half naked men running through a hallway full
of tazers... there fast paced stupidity delivers laugh out loud moments
every time.
Yeah, sure, the guys are starting to look a little
to old for this now. But if this is the Jackass swan-song, it hits all
the right notes. DVD Special Features
Heaps of Special Features - and it's just the beginning with
"Jackass 3.5" on its way onto DVD shelves soon (which is made up of
stuff that didn't make this version of the film).
So, included
here is 2 versions of the movie - Uncut and Theatrical - as well as an
MTV Making of Special, Outtakes, Deleted Scenes and a Time Magazine
Trailer.
Conclusion - Movie: 80% Extras: 75%
