Rating: Summary: Yeah- I actually bought it- Review: Jackass is one of those weird little pop culture icons that many won't admit they like, but will happily announce their favorite stunt if Jackass is brought up in a conversation.Sure- it's one of those guilty pleasures- grown men engaging in self mutilation, painful stunts, bodily functions, and so much more. With classics like the Spermathon, Accidental Poo, Poo Diaper, the Bikini Wax, and the stomach lurching "The Omelette"- okay- I never said anything about good taste, especially seeing Steve-O getting his Buttcheeks pierced together- squirming around in your seat in discomfort was never this much fun! Sadly, though the DVD's are marked with the everpopular "Parental Advisory" sticker- you won't see or hear anything you didn't see on TV- so if you want language, and some full frontal nudity, you'll have to stick to your "Girls Gone Wild" and porn- but it's still full of best of the evertasteless Jackass cast.
Rating: Summary: GREAT FUN! Review: Of course Jackass isn't for everybody. But I love these crazy stunts! This is basically a compilation of things shown on the MTV programs. I agree with the other fans it shouldn't have been censored and Volume One SHOULD be available! I am a new fan so I missed all of season one and await the day it finally comes available....hope its not too long.If you want uncensored stuff and full fledged male nudes buy Steve O's two DVDs. There is stuff on those I'm surprised he could get away with selling to shoppers at regular electronic shops. Its dirty. Lots more than these Jackass DVDs are. But as for these I have to give them 5 stars! They're lots of fun!
Rating: Summary: What a let down! Review: Okay, not only is this DVD lacking some of the better skits (any of the CKY stuff with Bam and Phil, the egg-eating contest, etc) they included some of the lamer skits like the metallic suit, beard of leeches, and Gumball 2000. Seriously lacking and let's not mention the edited scenes, this DVD was promised to show "what MTV wouldn't allow on air". The only skit I hadn't seen on MTV was the omelette, or should I say Vomelette. All in all, still entertaining, but a real big let-down for this Jackass fan. Buy the CKY box set instead!
Rating: Summary: Insulting to my intelligence. Review: P>...Jackass' "creative masterminds" of Johnny Knoxville and company are really just one step below carnvial geeks... The crew of Jackass, which includes independant film darling Spike Jonze (real name Adam Speigal), just turn the cameras on and act as idiotic as humanly possible. Between the so-called "stunts" there are a few comedy bits, all of which seemed like they were ripped off from other sources. Namely from the Howard Stern Show, The Man Show and the U.K.'s Trigger Happy TV... When bits are conceived by the Man Show or Stern there's a creative process that goes on behind the scenes. One thing that Howard Stern has always strived for is originality...Then it's no longer original or creative. It's just stupidity. Worse, it's not even funny!! Between the stunts and the comedy sketches the viewer is also treated to vast doses of "Whoa dude!", "Hey man!" and other so-called "hip" lingo. I didn't know what was harder to take, the idiotic stunts or the inane prattle... P.T. Barnum once said "There's a sucker born every minute". The difference between someone like Barnum is that when he swindled you at least his machinations were brilliantly concieved and well planned. Jackass is neither. It is offensive and an insult to call this piece trash "comedy". It is neither entertaining or funny. It's just plain stupid.
Rating: Summary: A "Greatest Hits" mix of Seasons 2 & 3 Review: Since we can't get a box set of every episode, we're given a chopped and sliced collection of the 2nd and 3rd installments of the Jackass series. The first season is not available for purchase. Instead, buy CKY Landspeed...aside from a few Knoxville skits, that's basically all the first season was. Each disc is over an hour long and contains a fairy nice menu set-up: crosshairs appear over a skit and when you click on them, it plays a short clip of some sort of painful action before moving to the selected menu. Bonus features include a trivia game (you'll have to pay attention to the entire DVD if you want to pass it, and each disc has different questions), photo gallery and a mildly interesting cast biography page. Check out Knoxville's real name...hah! Season 2 contains memorable stunts such as Knoxville's 'Cup Test', The 'Snake River BMX Jump', 'American Werewolf (In London)', Steve-O's infamous 'Butt Piercing', the CKY crew's 'Bucket Cars', Steveo versus Dunn in 'Stilt Boxing', and last but not least Steve-O's .Bobbing for Jellyfish'. Season 3's assortment of stunts include: the bizarre 'Spermathon' (in which members of the Jackass crew visit a sperm bank and test various things...you'll just have to see), 'Office Chairs', Ryan Dunn's 'Stupid Idea Rolling Down a Hill', the stomach turning 'Omlette', and Chris Pontius's outrageous Playgirl audition... All in all, a great little set. Two hours is more than enough to cure your hunger for grown men doing childish things.
Rating: Summary: Jackass volumes 2 and 3 Review: THE BEST DAMN TV SHOW TURNED INTO A DVD EVER! JOHNNY AND STEVE-0 ARE HILARIOUS! DEFINITELY A MUST BUY!
Rating: Summary: Not at all Haggard by all means Review: The Jackass dvd set featuring season 2 and 3 was very good. I didn't see the skits before so they were very good. I hadn't seen the Jackass show before just the Movie and I wish i did see the show when it was on the air. Some skits you will recognize from the cKy films but most of it is from Jackass. It is hysterical, not as good as the movie but funny. WARNING to those with a weak stomach: some skits are very gross like the omellete and the worm skit with Steve-O. My dad almost threw up. The only thing i am disapointed with is that it says PARENTAL ADVISORY EXPLICIT CONTENT but the profanity are bleeped out. It is edited just like the Tv show. I thought from reading the back of the box that it is an option to bleep the bad out. So for the worried moms out there these movies are just like what you would see on MTV. The only thing bad that could possibly be EXPLICIT is that a few of the backround songs have some uncensored words in them. Not a big thing to worry about though. EXCELLENT PURCHASE FOR a DVD.
Rating: Summary: Awesome DVDs' and well worth the price of purchase Review: The recent release of this hit television series on DVD has had me in laughter, viewed in high quality video. Each DVD is PACKED with skits/pranks/stunts from the show so it is definately worth the $ you pay for it. The reason why Volume 1 has not been released is because of legal issues surrounding several skits from the show in the first series. This relates to lawsuits from the families of children (filed against MTV), from the children attempting to perform the stunts contained in the show. It is clearly defined in the show that none of the stunts should be attempted or performed. The remainder of the responsibility is not MTV's --but to the parents of the children, who should have been watching their kids more closely. The DVDs' are awesome -- buy them, and you'll thank yourself later.
Rating: Summary: reason for no volume 1. Review: there's probably not a volume one cause half the stuff from season one came off of CKY videos.
Rating: Summary: they're censored!!! Review: THESE DVD'S ARE CENSORED!!!(thats why i gave them 4 stars)Now i love the show and the movie was awesome, so when i found out these dvd's were coming out, i pre-ordered them first chance i got...later i saw the covers for them, which have a parental advisory on them, so naturally i thought, "FINALLY some uncut jackass!"(excluding the movie). Well now i find out that they are still bleeped! theres nothing i can do now, they're bought and paid for, and im still glad i have them but it should have been stated somewhere that they would still be censored. Also, there is NO added or unaired footage. Everything on here was on tv. If you don't mind the beeps, then they are still awesome! and a final comment for the 2 who say otherwise, volume one will NOT be released next year or anytime for that matter, INSTEAD there are supposed to be full UNCENSORED seasons coming to dvd once the legal situation is solved, key word there "SUPPOSED".
