Jackass: The Movie


Jackass The Movie is a 2002 American reality comedy film directed by Jeff Tremaine with the tagline Do not attempt this at home. It is a continuation of the stunts and pranks by the various characters of the MTV television series Jackass, which had completed its unique series run by this time. The film was produced by MTV Films and Dickhouse Productions and released by Paramount Pictures.

In the ending of the film, Johnny Knoxville is launched from a catapult into a lake, where Rip Taylor sits in a boat, announcing that this is the end. This is followed with the credits being shown over outtakes from the film. The original ending for the film was supposed to be a Rube Goldbergtype contraption, with each of the cast members performing a stunt that either has something to do with what they did on the show for example, the first stunt would have Preston as The Human Wrecking Ball, knocking him into a PortAPotty, or simply for a sight gag such as Ehren being knocked over in the PortAPotty and landing on a bed of toilet paper rolls, ending with Johnny being launched off the catapult next to Rip Taylor.However, as the entire contraption didnt work together the way they wanted it to, the producers of the film decided to try filming an alternate ending, which is how they came to film the Son Of Jackass skit. The Son Of Jackass skit involves dressing all the performers in old man clothing and having them run around exploding buildings and sheds, with only SteveO surviving to proclaim Yeah, dude. In the cast commentary, it is said that this is ironic as SteveO is the least likely to even reach old age. Some bits of the failed ending were incorporated into the end credits montage, like Dave England dressed in a penis costume and the giant Plinko contraption. ........
