Jackass Number Two is the sequel to the 2002 comedy film, Jackass: The Movie, itself based upon by its MTV series. The entire main cast of the original came back to do the movie, including Johnny Knoxville, Bam Margera, Ryan Dunn, Chris Pontius, Steve-O, Dave England, Ehren McGhehey, Preston Lacy, and Jason "Wee-Man" Acuña. Most of the semi-regular cast members returned as well. Shooting began in January 2006. The release date for the film was September 22, 2006. The film also includes cameos by Luke Wilson, Willie Garson, Mark Zupan (Murderball), Spike Jonze and cult film directors John Waters (A Dirty Shame), Jay Chandrasekhar (Super Troopers) and Mike Judge (Beavis and Butt-Head). Professional BMX rider Mat Hoffman and professional skater Tony Hawk both performed stunts. Rap group Three 6 Mafia also appears, as well as HIM singer Ville Valo, actor James DeBello, with Kat Von D, as well as NFL star Jason Taylor. Fans of the series saw cast members shooting in various states in America, but the Jackass cast refused to divulge where they were filming, out of fear of fans interfering with the filming process. They have also filmed in India, Australia, and Moscow. A few insights were leaked prior to the movie's release by Steve-O and Bam Margera via Radio Bam and Loveline. Other shootings were Bull Shoals, Arkansas; Key West, Florida; Los Angeles, California; Miami, Florida; New Orleans, Louisiana; and West Chester, Pennsylvania.
The film had 4 different screenings for fans of Jackass and MySpace users, which was a part of MySpace's "Black Carpet" screening. The screenings took place a few days before the movie was released (possibly August). Some of the screenings also had surprise visits by cast and crew. For example, the Pennsylvania screening had director Jeff Tremaine and cast members Johnny Knoxville and Bam Margera. The DVD of the movie is now available in its R rated version in full and wide screen and in its unrated version in widescreen.[1]
SummaryJust as the first TV series and first movie, Jackass: Number Two has essentially no plot. Instead, it is a collection of stunts and pranks.Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
OpeningThe film opens with the sound of "The Ecstasy of Gold" from The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly score by Ennio Morricone and the cast members running through a cloud of dust in a slow western style, returning in the blaze of glory for what could be their final adventure. Behind them is revealed to be a group of large bulls chasing them through an abandoned neighborhood. The men, one by one, are taken down by the stampede, until only Johnny Knoxville and Bam Margera are left, and are chased through a house. Bam jumps through a window, and Johnny stops in his tracks to deliver his signature line, “Hi, I’m Johnny Knoxville, welcome to Jackass!”, and is pushed through a window by several bulls, and the title comes to screen, “Jackass Number Two”. Stunts
EndingThe movie finishes with a Busby Berkeley-style movie musical production number set to the "La Cage aux Folles" song "The Best Of Times," where the cast sing and dance while getting battered by violent stunts. One stunt involves Wee Man and Preston Lacy sliding onto a bunch of metal trash cans. Others involve Chris Pontius dancing in a flaming building and jumping safely onto a mat, at which point he is knocked off his feet by a fire hose, and Bam and Dunn dancing in cowboy outfits in front of a horse before Knoxville causes the horse to flee by slapping its rear, pulling Bam and Dunn away by a rope attached to their feet. This huge sequence might have been inspired by the fact that in the first film, a huge finale was planned in a similar fashion, but the contraption that was to be used for the stunt failed and could not be fixed in time. Also, as in the first film, Rip Taylor is seen at the end of the sequence. CreditsThe credits feature outtakes and deleted scenes. Spoilers end here.
DVD ReleaseThe Rated and Unrated DVD versions of the movie were released on December 26, 2006.[1] The rated version includes the 96 minute theatrical release, with bonus features.

The soundtrack features songs that were featured in the movie, and various audio clips from the movie. Three Six Mafia teamed up with Saliva front man, Josey Scott to create the song "Gettin' Fucked Up" exclusively for the soundtrack. And another collaboration, Karen O from Yeah Yeah Yeahs, teamed up with Peaches to write "Backass," another exclusive for the soundtrack. The soundtrack also includes the debut single from Chris Pontius for "Karazy" and a cover by rock-group Smut Peddlers, in which they cover Roger Alan Wade's "If You're Gonna Be Dumb."
