Brilliant and touching

A brilliant film that helped define a genre

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

This is basically the same as a DVD featurette for the movie "Jackass Number Two" with cut material and some behind the scenes footage. They say that they filmed so much material for "Jackass Number Two" and it was enough to make a whole new movie with and that's why they made "Jackass 2.5". But seriously, isn't this simply anything more than a simple way to cash in more of the success of the previous Jackass movies and TV show, one year after the release of "Jackass Number Two"? It already sort of says it, this movie is filled with material that didn't end up in "Jackass Number Two", which basically means it are left overs, so it isn't as good as the things you can see in "Jackass Number Two". Yes of course the movie will still make you laugh but it just isn't as good and solid as "Jackass Number Two".First they show an entire sequence and then next they tell us why this part didn't ended up being in "Jackass Number Two". Now this just doesn't seem right and actually quite pointless. Or at least it is for a movie. Like I said before, as a DVD featurette this would work out but just not like this.It's fun to see the cast and crew talking about the making of "Jackass Number Two" and telling how they got their ideas but once more, this would of course work out better as a DVD featurette.Yes, for most part this movie is still great fun to watch and of course still a must see for the die hard fans but even they shall most likely end up being disappointed with this product that you just can't really call a movie.6/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/

Upon learning there were to be a Jackass 2.5 to be released, i was indeed over the moon. I also learned that it consisted of all the bonus footage from the filming of Jackass No.2 STOP! Although it would be true to say this film is comprised of "bonus footage" from the main film, it would be more accurate to say this film is comprised of "failed footage" from the main film.Reading some of the other articles on this "straight to video" release, I found myself agreeing with many of the opinions mentioned. Jackass 2.5 is basically a glamourised bonus feature, that (in my opinion) should of appeared on a 2nd bonus disc available with the main film, The content, although very funny, is not strong enough to stand on its own. Still, it is a great watch for the hardcore jackass fans with some hilarious skits (the best of which both involve Prestons' enlarge rump!) The biggest let down for me was Bam Margeras' overly-eager gayness, it seemed to transform the flow if the skits into the lowliest of gay porn. I understand that the show is all about pain and humiliation but excitedly wanting to do such things to your ,ahem, "exit hole" makes it a little too ...... seedy! Still, despite the above, it made for enjoyable watch, lets face it, being in the foreshadow of the amazing Jackass No2, it was a tough bill to beat. And im sure Jackass 2.5 has generated a lot of "bad press," but i hope it ain't put the guys off making a third installment of the now legendary Jackass Anthology!

This should have a been an extra feature on the Jackass Number Two DVD. It has some great moments, some not so great, and some sickening things.If you're a Jackass fan you should see it, but paying so much to see it isn't the best idea. These are basically the rejected scenes not used in Number Two, and for some you'll understand why. Some is just inappropriate, but so hilarious like the original stuff. Ever since the first Jackass movie, they've all been pushing the limits of what they can do, and lately the more disgusting and cruder stuff comes out like more nudity and vomiting. It also seems more Hollywood, but nonetheless another piece of Jackass.

I LOVE the Jackass films. Part 1 and 2 are some of the funniest times I've spent in the theater. When word got out from Bam Margera on Howard Stern a few months ago about the upcoming 2.5, I was very excited to see it. Well, I just finished watching 2.5, and even though I laughed a lot, it just overall usually felt like a deleted scene reel from a DVD. Of course that's what a lot of the footage is, but after I heard they were still filming long after number 2's release, I figured we'd get the same type of movie we've seen in the past, but only this time they were just going to market it differently. This film consists of good bits and failed bits, most of which are set up with interviews. The first two films barely missed a beat, even when the bit wasn't the greatest, but 2.5. consists of mostly just amusing stuff. Don't get me wrong, I had a good time, but expected so much more. One thing that really let me down, is the lost Don Vito tooth pulling scene is still missing, even though Bam mentioned they'll finally show it. I'm guessing it's from the recent conviction, but that bit could have made the whole movie, if it's as great as Bam says it is. So if you're a Jackass fan, check out 2.5. If you're new to Jackass, check out 1 and 2, cause that's where the real laughs are.
