This movie blew me away - I have only seen two episodes of the show, never saw the first movie, but went to a pre-screening where Johnny Knoxville himself introduced the movie, telling us to 'turn off our sense of moral judgment for an hour and a half.' He was right. As a movie, this would probably rate a 2, given it has zero plot, no structure besides randomness, and very little production value. However, that isn't the point. Everyone in our theatre was laughing and gasping the whole way through - not only were some of the stunts creative (see trailer if you need to know but they hid some of the best (or worst depending on how you want to look at it)), but some of the stuff they did took us completely by surprise. These guys do some stuff that won't make it into your newspaper reviews (and probably can't even be published here), involving lots of things below the belt. However, almost 3/4 of the stunts are fantastically hysterical (even if morally condemnable, but remember Knoxville's statement), and if you are in the right mindset this movie is hysterical to watch. Only about 20 minutes of this movie could have actually been shown on TV, so consider yourself warned of what you're getting into - some stuff is disgusting, but instead of being repulsed by it you end up laughing at the sheer stupidity of it all. As a person who thought Jackass the TV show was an over-hyped fad with only a few funny sketches and lots of unnecessary pain, the amount of fun I had at this movie has made me realize that having no boundaries is the best environment for these guys to work in. It's a lot of fun and should be a great comedic fix until the Borat movie comes out. With this movie, you may think you know what you're getting, but these guys are a few steps ahead of you - I guarantee you'll be surprised by the 3rd sketch. So enjoy, and don't worry: you won't want to perform almost any of their stuff at home.

It's what you expect. It induces laughter, cringing, and dry-heaving, not necessarily in that order. It's over-the-top. You will see things that you may never be able to erase from your mind's eye. " Jackass Number Two" is better than the first; the actors definitely took more risks while filming this movie. There are many stunts which could have killed the actors, especially Johnny Knoxville. The treatment of animals was suspect, but other than that, the movie achieved what is was made to achieve. If you like the preview, see the movie. If you don't, steer clear!

8 out of 10

This film tops the previous incarnation by a mile, taking everything to the next level. As always the JackAss guys are purely unbelievable, and I personally laughed harder in that theatre than I have in a long time. Like the first JackAss, this isn't so much a movie as an eighty minute long string of stunts and pranks. It is pure circus entertainment taken to the highest level. Essentially these guys are clowns, debasing themselves for the amusement of others. And its great. The shenanigans are so low, outrageous, and often disgusting that they transcend into a higher form of entertainment.

You can't rate this along other movies, its in a class of its own. And it shines. Go and enjoy it for the pure spectacle that it is.

Just got out of an advance screening, and wow was this movie hilarious. Possibly better than the first one, but at least its equal. If you don't like jackass, or really unnecessary amounts of male nudity(way more than in the first) then stay far, far away. But if you dig the whole Jackass thing, then this movie will not disappoint. Toro Totter is the greatest invention ever. OK. so my review wasn't long enough... All else i have to say is poor, poor Dunn, they really kick the crap out of him in this. So if you enjoy masochistic humor, and prolific male nudity, and by far the most disgusting female nudity ever (John Waters is involved, need i say more?) then this movie will keep you in stitches for it entirety. I never stopped laughing, and actually came out drenched in sweat.

Johnny Knoxville has gone insane.

In the first Jackass he delighted in practical jokes more so than the physical stuff – his opening car rental gag and the later bit involving an air horn on a golf course were more akin to some type of extreme Candid Camera – but in Jackass: Number Two he's really off his rocker.

Beginning with a sequence where he is chased through a living room by a bull, or later when he rides a rocket (a stunt which almost cost him his life due to an unexpected explosion from the side of the rocket), and especially when he stands willfully in front of a defense mechanism and takes a spray of pellets to the stomach, Knoxville is a madman. In the first film Bam Margera and Steve-O – notorious party animals – were the daring ones, but you know it's pretty bad when you see Knoxville enticing them to do a stunt.

This is essentially a series of stunts pulled off by guys consumed by testosterone, constantly trying to one-up each other. It will eventually end in death for one of the cast members – in Jackass 2 Steve-O nearly loses a leg to a shark, Knoxville (as aforementioned) is nearly impaled with an explosion from a rocket, and so on and so forth. Jackass 3 has already been confirmed owing to the success of 2, and frankly I can't imagine any stunt out-performing the bull run in the opening scene of this film – that's incredible footage. It's almost unbelievable, and I wondered whether it had been faked, but apparently it was 100% genuine. (Which is actually kind of frightening.) And in terms of extremes Jackass 2 far outdoes its predecessor – it also feels more cinematic than the first film, with less of the cheesy titles preceding stunts that were made famous on the original MTV television show.

Unfortunately, the boys were given too much freedom here, and a good number of the gags are simply lame exercises in crudity – I can enjoy the occasional poop gag, but watching a man relieve himself on a miniature toilet, or see Steve-O take beer up the butt (yes, honestly), gets grating after a while. Even the frat boys in the screening I attended – who were enthusiastic when Wee Man took a playing card up the rear and got zapped by a rigged chair – were disgusted by some of the scenes in this film. It's not a matter of getting away with as much as possible – it's a matter of saying, "Is this even entertaining or funny?" Many times, sadly, it really isn't.

But for every lame stunt involving fecal matter and farting on people's faces, there are some brilliant hidden-camera bits. Wacky director Spike Jonze ("Adaptation") dresses up as an old woman and hits the streets naked, with sagging breasts and no shame. And my personal favorite skit involved Knoxville as an irresponsible old man, out for lunch with his grandson, letting him drink alcohol and smoke and swear and insult people. That's classic comedy taken to new extremes with the liberties of an R-rating. It's a shame they had to ruin all the great stuff – including a final segment involving an elaborate terrorist prank – with poop jokes along the way.

Still, there's enough sheer spirit and craziness in this film to merit a viewing, and it's really taken the concept of extremity in cinema to new heights.

Like the first one,the team of JACKASS are back to try to kill themselves with whatever manner they see fit.Either,it's fitting yourself in a tractor tyre and rolling down a slope.Or getting yourself deliberately smashed by a bull.Or something even worse.

The first one was crazy,and that's how you can describe it.It was also really hard laughing film.But this one is completely nuts.It's got even more dangerous stunts,and even harder laughs.So,I think watching dumb idiots getting themselves killed is gonna be the funniest thing this week.

So,before BORAT comes out,I shall laugh my A** out.

The sequel is exactly what you will expect it to be. And it is good enough that everyone who would have wanted to watch this should leave it happy.

This is not a movie that will win an Academy award. But it does take what made the Jackass TV show and original movie a success, and it turns it up a notch. It is funnier, more brutal, and more disgusting than the original. And I loved every minute of it.

The original had a few notorious stunts, and there is at least one stunt that this movie will be remembered for. You will wince, cringe, look away, and laugh very, very hard.

In any event, you probably do not need to read this review, or any others, to know if you will like this movie, unless you have never heard of Jackass.

Where do I begin? I sat down ready to laugh a bit and I was blown away! This movie is just perfect, it's indescribable. Jackass Number Two in all honesty was grosser, more obscene, funnier and more entertaining than the first. This was just what I needed tonight.

There are so many scenes in this movie that will make you say "Oh My! No Way!" or "Ouch!". Perfectly mastered and set up, each event and scene were coordinated way before and therefore made it even more perfect. I loved every minute of it! I'm just going to say that there was even a scene where it was necessary to censor particular footage in order to prevent an NC-17 rating! It was so hilarious that they had to put it in anyway! Amazingly good.

9/10. Incredibly funny, Do Not Miss Out!

Yes. Bam cried a couple times and so did Englund. And most probably you will too. The whole cast is back in action and Knoxville has stepped up to become the true leader of this gang of messed-up retards (I mean this in the best possible way). I first thought, maybe Bam or Steve-O were the main go-to guys....nope, the main man is now Johnny. Don't get me wrong, everybody, and I mean everybody is great in this flick! Right from the get-go you're laughing, and believe you me, don't plan on resting that smile of yours. I personally think the movie definitely has better moments than the first. You know when you go into a theater, and you kind of don't want to have high expectations for it.....well, this movie blows all expectations away. If you love Jackass, you can go into this with gigantic expectations. No matter what you'll laugh your ass off. If you're not laughing, the reason is most likely someone has a gun in your face telling you if you laugh you die or maybe you are embarrassed about the sound of your laugh or the highest probability is that you were eating Jack Sh!t for breakfast and Jack left town. All I have to say is, prepare yourself to have a sore face after the movie. :)

How do you describe the plot of a "Jackass" film? A group of guys (including Bam Margera and Johnny Knoxville) do a variety of stupid stunts that could seriously injure or kill them. Nobody dies, but there is plenty of bodily injury to go around.

If you're the type of person who didn't like "Jackass" (the show or the movie), I have no idea why you'd watch "Jackass 2". You know what it is: violence, nudity, bodily fluids. But if you liked the show and the movie, I am willing to bet you'll like the sequel even more. I liked it more, as have pretty much everyone I spoke with. Why? Because there is a better flow to this one with less repetition.

The only thing this film really lacked for me was Party Boy, because I love seeing Party Boy dancing to his theme song. But I can overlook this (especially because Bunny the Lifeguard shows up).

Some of the stunts here were very clever. I liked the teeter-totter with the bull. Some of the rocket-powered wheelchairs and shopping carts were a nice touch. (Allegedly, much of this film was inspired by "Looney Tunes" -- and I will say this was far more entertaining than any of those cartoons.)

The best stunt by far was "Terror Taxi". I don't want to give the thing away, but here's the premise: a man dressed up as a stereotypical terrorist (turban, beard and even explosives strapped to his chest) gets in a taxi and asks to go to the airport. This stunt is not only really ballsy, and possibly too soon after 9/11 to be considered funny by most people, but wait until you see where it goes from there. No stunt has ever gone this far and probably never will again.

I am not going to say "see this movie" or "don't see this movie". With most films I review, I feel it's a good idea to recommend movies to people and tell them if it's their type of film. Well, in this case, I think you know if you're going to be a fan of "Jackass" or not, because if you're thinking about renting it, you probably already know what to expect.

Timing when the second movie came out was still perfect. The TV show and the first movie was a hit and the next logical thing to do was to create another movie. The thing is I don't think Jackass would have taken off in these times. It came out excatly at the perfect time in the early 2000s and surprised everyone with it's absurdity and they became known all over the world for many years and reached success which no one could replicate on their level.

I recently read Steve-O's book in which he tells everything about his life and jackass so I wanted to see all the movies and I have mixed feelings about it. I can see the early days, the not so mature cast and what have they become over time. It really feels like a different time in which you could get away with the stunts they performed. I enjoyed quite a lot of bits but others felt like they are being too much of a jerk to people. Anyway it's not the best and it's not the worst again. But you can't take away it's legacy which will live forever.

Truly unadultured madness. And it's fantastic. Jackass number two definitely feels like less of a season extension from jackass the movie. With some more extensive skits. Though the gold lies in the simple stuff. The scene with the fake message on the heart that the guys have to read is so simple, but the excitement as a viewer and the excitement from the others that are in on it just elevate it to such a fun moment. There is a bit of a influx of gross stuff here versus the previous movie and it sacrifices some more traditional pranks for it. That said, it was fun.

Since first appearing in Jackass on MTV in 2000, Johnny Knoxville and his gang of risk-taking reprobate chums have become very rich and very famous. Personally, I would rather wallow in obscurity than eat animal crap, chug down fresh horse semen, stick leeches to my balls or risk death in a variety of unpleasant ways, but each to his own. And while these guys are willing to risk life and limb for the sake of entertainment, I'm going to watch, because, quite simply, the results are hilarious.

Taking things several steps further than the first movie, Jackass Number Two (Unrated) is a non-stop thrill ride in which all members of the team experience pain and humiliation in huge doses. Occasionally the skits become a little too scatological and crude for my taste, but the sheer insanity of most of the stunts and pranks mean that it is easy to overlook the less palatable stuff.

And, like the first movie, Number Two is funniest when it's not trying so hard to disgust. Jackass The Movie's finest moment was Air Horn Golf, a simple juvenile prank that had me in stitches; in the sequel, my award for funniest moment goes to the old man (Knoxville in heavy prosthetic makeup) with his balls hanging out of his shorts. Spike Jonze's as an old lady who repeatedly flashes her saggy breasts is a close runner-up.

Of course, with a movie of this nature, those who are easily offended should stay well away, but the rest of us who enjoy such childish stuff will have a great time. No doubt there is a third film in the offing; I look forward to seeing them try and top the sheer lunacy of Number Two.

This was the funniest/ most entertaining movie I have ever seen...

its better than the 1st and they just top everything...

There were a few moments where I'm thinking when is someone gonna die, but I saw at 11:59 opening night on Thurs and it was nearly sold out, and everyone was dying laughing the whole time...

Please do a #3!!!!

Unlike most movies, the previews don't show it all, or even show the best parts.

The only part that was too much for me was the horse part (you'll see) Pontius is the man, but this one made me wonder...I would have slit my wrists if I did that...barf...

It's tough to really consider this as an actual 'movie'. Sequel to 2002's "Jackass: The Movie", this movie is just another extension of the MTV television series with skits you could never, ever....EVER show on television. The entire Jackass crew returns for this sequel, in which they take their stunts to extremes that blow away their previous efforts.

This flick had me laughing insanely through the entire 95 minutes, though I admit to having low standards for humor sometimes. This movie is not classy, thought-provoking, inspiring, heart-warming, or anything else people look for in a motion picture. Of course, if you go to any movie with the word JACKASS in the title in search of the next Oscar-winner, you're barking up the wrong tree. Though, if you're looking for some great low-brow, oftentimes sickening, entertainment, you've found it. I'm going to assume the only people reading this comment are those who are familiar with the style of comedy associated with the show.

If you've got a weak stomach, BEWARE. My ex-wife almost lost her dinner on multiple occasions while watching this with me. The things these guys do for money (especially Chris Pontius and Steve-O) will boggle the mind and churn your stomach. If you're anything like me, you'll be horrified by what you're seeing but you can't turn away. I won't bother talking about any of the sketches specifically, since I wouldn't want to ruin anything for potential viewers.

I guess I like these movies because they remind me of anytime I'm hanging with my friends and someone starts a conversation with "Dude, I dare you to..." or "Wouldn't it be funny if...". Of course, our dares never pan out. Then again, my friends aren't being offered the kind of money the Jackass crew rakes in. Would I recommend this movie to a friend? Hell yeah. But, like a visit to the dentist's office, remember not to eat anything for a couple hours before viewing.

You've been warned.

I think that if you are a fan of the TV show, you will love this movie. If you have never seen the TV show, well, you may be mystified at why anyone would make a movie of this.

I thought about 30% of this movie was some of the funniest stuff I have seen in a long time. At the opposite end, about 10% was just unwatchable--I could have done without the excrement, and worse. The movie has been called gross and disgusting, and it certainly earns those adjectives.

However, Spike Jonze and the various "senior citizens" having clothing fallout--absolutely inspired. There was a lot of this film that I couldn't stand, but a few of the parts made the whole thing very worthwhile.
