“Jackass Number Two” is the sequel to the equally insane “Jackass: The Movie”. It features more of the outrageous stunts and more of the gross humour. If you liked the last film, you’ll probably like this one more and if you despised the first one, you’ll probably hate this even more.

Johnny Knoxville and his friends carry out a bunch of crazy stunts ranging from branding one another to being hit by bulls to sticking leeches on their eyeballs. “Jackass Number Two” opens with a genuinely inspired scene where the whole crew try to evade a stampede but as it continues, I found myself shielding my eyes from the graphic nature of some of the stunts and gags.

Like before, Knoxville has personality but his fellow ‘Jackasses’ do not. I just don’t get why these guys subject themselves to some of the things that you see in this film. One scene has a man attach a fishing hook threw his face, he then proceeds to jump off a boat while the hook is connected to a fishing rod; when a shark comes along, he kicks it… I don’t get the point either. Other scene feature people being bitten by snakes and leeches, sometimes in the most unpleasant of areas. You may remember the horrendous things the guys endure but you won’t remember anything about them.

I like some of the physical comedy stunts such as one involving a boxing glove coming through a wall and another involving a swarm of bees in a limo; I laughed a lot at these scenes. It’s such a shame because some of the scenes in this film are hilarious but there are too many pointless scenes featuring things that are far too disgusting to even mention in any real detail. One stunt that stands out from the rest due its style involves a man dressed as an Arab suicide bomber, it’s sort-of clever and seems to be the only sketch with any social or political satire going on. Overall, I’d probably skip this.
