Jackass Number Two is a 2006 American reality comedy film directed by Jeff Tremaine. It is the sequel to Jackass: The Movie (2002), both based upon the MTV series Jackass. Like its predecessor and the original television show, the film is a compilation of stunts, pranks and skits. The film stars the regular Jackass cast of Johnny Knoxville, Bam Margera, Ryan Dunn, Wee Man, Dave England, Chris Pontius, Steve-O, Preston Lacy, and Ehren McGhehey.

The film was produced by MTV Films, Dickhouse Productions and Lynch Siderow Productions, and distributed by Paramount Pictures. The film premiered in theaters on September 22, 2006. It received generally positive reviews from critics. The film grossed $84.6 million worldwide against a production budget of $11.5 million.

An unrated version of the film titled Jackass 2.5 was released online on December 19, 2007 and on DVD on December 26, 2007.[3] It contains most of the deleted and unused scenes that were originally shot for Jackass Number Two. It was followed by another sequel, Jackass 3D.

Cast

The entire main cast from Jackass: The Movie returned for the sequel.

The film also includes guest appearances by Brandon Novak, Mark Zupan, Brandon DiCamillo, Roger Alan Wade, Dimitry Elyashkevich, Loomis Fall, Lance Bangs, animal experts David Weathers and Manny Puig, Rick Kosick, Spike Jonze and cult film directors John Waters and Jay Chandrasekhar. Professional BMX rider Mat Hoffman and professional skater Tony Hawk participated in stunts. Rap group Three 6 Mafia also appears, as well as HIM singer Ville Valo and NFL star Jason Taylor. Mike Judge, Luke Wilson and Willie Garson are featured in the credits and in deleted scenes.

Stunts including Jackass and Viva La Bam regular Don Vito were also filmed and shown in previews. However, due to the scandal surrounding his arrest just prior to the film's release and the nature of the charges against him, all the scenes involving Don Vito were cut.

Production

Shooting began on January 30, 2006, and ended on June 23, 2006.[4][5] The Jackass cast refused to divulge where they were filming, out of fear of fans interfering with the filming process. However, they have filmed in India, Australia, England, Moscow and Argentina. 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; New York City, New York; and West Chester, Pennsylvania.

The stunt "How to Milk a Horse" was originally shot for Wildboyz, but was saved for future use.[6] "The idea to drink the horse semen was not actually planned but was "in the back of everyone's mind."[7] To agree to do the stunt, Chris Pontius asked director Jeff Tremaine for a full day off of work, but discouraged doing so since Pontius had missed work the day before.[8] Additionally on screen Chris Pontius stated to Jeff Tremaine "This is going to make up for something bad I'm going to do in the future." This deal was verbally agreed upon and sealed with a handshake; it was also noted that said deal was videotaped for the camera.

Two Deleted Scenes were also filmed but weren't in the final film and Jackass 2.5, "The Lambroghini Tooth Pull" with Don Vito (which would later be performed in Jackass 3D, however, it would be performed by Ehren McGhehey rather than Don Vito), and "Ignited Farts", where Bam Margera, Steve-O, Ryan Dunn, Chris Pontius, and Dave England would get in a bathtub and try to ignite their farts underwater, ending with Dave defecating by accident. although they were deleted, a short clip of the tooth pull scene appeared in the trailer for the film, and a snippet of the ignited farts scene appeared in the credits for Jackass 2.5, the entire ignited fart sequence was once available on the Jackass World website, but has since disappeared following the websites closure.

Screenings and release

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.

On June 15, 2006, Yahoo! released the first official teaser for the movie.[9] The stunts in the trailer included Knoxville riding a "rocket bike" off a ramp and a blindfolded Knoxville being rammed by a yak.

The film was released on DVD on October 10, 2006 in its R-rated version in full and widescreen, and in widescreen in the unrated version.[10]
