Jackass: The Movie
“Jackass: The Movie (2002) took the hit MTV show and brought its brand of high-risk, low-brow stunts to the big screen. Led by Johnny Knoxville, Bam Margera, and Steve-O, the ‘film’ is essentially a series of vignettes featuring the crew performing dangerous, gross, and often hilarious pranks on themselves and each other. From the ‘Giant Shopping Cart’ opening to the infamous ‘Toy Car’ X-ray, the movie pushed the boundaries of what was acceptable in a theatrical release. It was a raw, unfiltered look at a group of friends who were willing to do anything for a laugh, creating a new genre of ‘reality comedy.’ It resonated with a generation that grew up on skate videos and DIY culture, turning its cast into household names. It’s a pure adrenaline rush of laughter and winces that proved you didn’t need a plot to have a blockbuster hit.”
Jackass made us wince and laugh in equal measure… but next, we head to a world where a group of female spies uses high-tech gadgets and martial arts to save the day.
