Jackass: The Movie
By Skipojack
Skip the Beat
YOU must be a fan of either Johnny Knoxville or Steve-O. Does the name Chris Pontius ring a bell to you? The Wee Man, yes he is small but terrible.
Are you familiar with this "hilarious big-screen version of the hit MTV reality series which ran from 2000 to 2002 and is one of the most outrageous motion pictures one is likely to ever see"?
Or are you ready for the following borrowed lines: scenes of objects (like the matchboxes) being shoved up a man's anus, vomiting (this one's gross and comes after the actor feasted on eggs, tomatoes, onions and what have you to make an egg omelet out of the puke), yellow snow cone eating (after urinating on
it?), and defecation (yeah, at a hardware store's toilet bowl which is in display for sale), making it not recommendable for the easily grossed out.
Am I talking about you or am touching on the unmentionables? I am talking about "Jackass: The Movie" which is available in the market today.
It used to command P300 plus tag price and just recently you can get it for as low as a hundred fifty.
Waiting for the time till it goes down to P75. Way to enjoy a movie at a price one can afford in the convenience of his home. Movie buffs who enjoy gross stuff will love this movie. According to a report, "it's low-brow humor at its best.
Highlights include scenes with Party Boy (Mr. Pontius) who take delight in baring himself before unsuspecting sales in-charge; the scene where Wee Man kicks himself in the head, and the blow horn scene.
The review says "Not all of the sketches work. The paper cut one was really disgusting and the Son of Jackass sketch that plays after the end credits was pointless(I agree). Still, it's incredible how many of sketches do work. One would expect a "Jackass" movie to be hit-and-miss.
Jackass: The Movie hits 95 percent of the time", the review continues to reveal. In the movie though if you're interested, are the following familiar names to a few fanatics.
In fact, some get their moniker from the guys I am going to enumerate and for what reason, you better watch the movie yourself.
So, here are the stunt-cum-sexy men in the reality show all acting as themselves: Johnny Knoxville as himself (what did I say?) Bam Margera, Steve-O, Ryan Dunn, Chris Pontius and the tallest of them all, Jason (Wee Man) Acuna.
We are just talking of one Jackass among 4 movies which I fortunately have. Next time, we will be dealing with the other three if you still haven't lost your appetite for food after you've watched the first installment of the humorous stunt movie of all time.
At least I said that for one thing, nobody has ever duplicated what they have done and none so far as I know.
Next question: Are you for another jackass tale? (Email me for your comments and suggestions. Thanks to Avel M for the copy of one movie which I have been looking for a long, long time already. I hope to meet one person who can share with me a copy of "Carrie" the soundtrack by Pino Donaggio as much as I thank one person who gave me a dvd copy of Caligula.
