Johnny Knoxville, Chris Pontius, Eleanor Worthington-Cox, and Jack Haven in Action Point (2018)
D.C. is the crackpot owner of a low-rent, out-of-control amusement park where the rides are designed with minimum safety for maximum fun. Just as D.C.'s estranged teenage daughter Boogie comes to visit, a corporate mega-park opens nearby and jeopardizes the future of Action Point. To save his beloved theme park and his relationship with his daughter, D.C. and his loony crew of misfits risk everything to pull out all the stops - and stunts.

    It's good in a way, but i think it's enough ...

    Johnny Knoxville is kinda getting old for this ,,, i mean i like that the movies are much more evolved than what it was back in the day "Jackass" but still i think it is not good enough .

    There were some stunts that looked real ,, which is Meh,, don't really care if i come to it .. but it is a movie after all,, so talking about the plot it looked mediocre.

    Don't wanna say it's recommended , but it is not not recommended either ..

    Jackass lite + story

    I've never been a fan of Jackass-hitting people in the nuts and stunts like that I don't really see the humor in. But I love theme parks, and wipeouts on rides sounded appealing to me. The story doesn't matter, but there is some fun and a few laughs here at the chaotic Action Point. I would have totally gone there in the 80's!

    Just happy to see Knoxville's face again

    Realistically the film wasn't very good but I didnt really expect much but it was just really good to see Knoxville's and pontius' faces again because I'm a huge jackass fan, RIP Ryan Dunn

    Not great, but enjoyable

    Went into this movie with VERY low expectations, but I actually enjoyed it. Not very good, but it was still a very fun, lighthearted, and funny movie.

    I like Knoxville, Pontius and the other 'JACKASS' movies, but this film just isn't funny.

    'ACTION POINT': Two and a Half Stars (Out of Five)

    A 'JACKASS' comedy film starring Johnny Knoxville and Chris Pontius. The movie features the usual stunts and pranks, all connected by a story based on the notorious New Jersey theme park 'Action Park'. It was directed by Tim Kirkby, and it was written by Knoxville, John Altschuler, Dave Krinsky, Derek Freda and Mike Judge. The film is a bomb at the Box Office, and it's gotten mostly negative reviews from critics too. I found it to be mostly a bore as well.

    Through flashbacks told to his grandson, D.C. (Knoxville) explains how he once owned a successful New Jersey them park, called Action Park. The park was famous for having dangerous rides, ran by inexperienced delinquent teenagers. D.C. and his crew did everything they could to keep the park running, even when it faced stiff competition from a giant evil corporation theme park. In the process D.C. also bonded with his estranged teenage daughter Boogie (Eleanor Worthington-Cox).

    I like Knoxville, Pontius and the other 'JACKASS' movies, but this film just isn't funny. I do appreciate it's attempt to recreate the 80's style youth theme park movies of yesteryear though, and in that way it is nostalgic. That's the only thing the film really has going for it though. Other than that it's just a bore, sadly. The other person in the theater I saw it at even walked out half way before the movie was over!

    • Trivia
      The film is loosely inspired on the now defunct Action Park in Vernon, New Jersey that first opened in 1979. The park was considered by many to be one of the most dangerous theme parks in the United States. At least six people were known to have died as a result of incidents that occurred within the original park. The park closed in 1996 and later reopened, under new ownership, as Mountain Creek. After yet another ownership change, the park briefly changed its name back to Action Park for the 2014 and 2015 seasons before reverting back to Mountain Creek in 2016, in order to disassociate itself from the former park's infamous reputation. The real park is the subject of the documentary Class Action Park (2020).
    • Goofs
      The movie is set around the 70's or the 80's. But when the group visits 7parks, you can see a Vekoma SLC (Suspended Looping Coaster). The first one was built in 1994 in Walibi Flevo in The Netherlands.

      D.C.: What a day! We ran out of beer, corn dogs, and toilet paper. In that order.

      On-set pranks, various nut-shots, and bloopers are shown during the first portion of the closing credits.
