I saw Ryan Dunn on Jimmy Kimmel Live tonight and heard him mention that the group is going to be doing another Jackass movie, so I did a little searching online to see if I could find anything about it and found this..

SON OF JACKASS

11.02.05

Paramount Pictures president Gail Berman has laid out the studio’s plans for the next couple of years, and one of the things that she mentioned that caught my eye was a sequel to Jackass.

 

The original Jackass was a monster smash for the studio – it cost only 5 million to make and it raked in 65 million domestically. It was also, I firmly believe, a work of complete genius. It’s like cinema stripped down to its most component parts, which happen to include inflicted paper cuts on yourself and pouring lemon juice on them. But seriously, it’s a comedy of simplistic beauty, and it has an incredibly high replay value.

 

At the time of the film’s original release I thought that was it for the Jackass crew, but it seems that reports of their group dissolution were greatly exaggerated. This summer when I spoke to Johnny Knoxville for the execrable Dukes of Hazzard, he lifted my spirits when he said he would be back, and here he comes. I just hope this isn’t an actual franchise – I don’t want these guys churning out another 89 minutes of pratfalls every year just because they have to. I want to see only the best stunts, in the worst possible taste.

 

Jackass II is scheduled for a holidays 2006 release. Which Gonad Would Jesus Electrocute?

 

It should be fun as long as they do it like the first one. I'm surprised Knoxville is doing another one, I figured he'd be "above" this by now.

Fuckin' awesome. I agreed with this sentiment:

It's slightly embarassing, but of the tons of DVDs I have, this has probably gotten the most replays, mostly because of its nature (you don't have to watch the whole thing to enjoy it).

Ehh, I personally prefer Jackass over CKY. I've seen a lot of CKY and it's not as good as Jackass from what I've seen (I haven't seen the last couple ones, and too much of it is unnecessarily grossout shit).

 

I definitely hope they manage all the old gang for this one. I don't understand why Jackass, as a television series, had to split up. Wildboyz is fucking stupid, and Viva La Bam is alright, but not as good.

I think they'll all be in it, I mean Ryan Dunn is going to be in it so I'd assume the rest of Bam and his guys are. Johnny Knoxville was on Bam's show last year so I think they ended whatever feud they had going.

From what I know there's never been a problem between Knoxville and Bam. Both supposedly continued hanging out after the series and as Glove pointed out they had Knoxville on Viva La Bam. I thought it was Steve-O that was getting too big for his britches and proclaiming himself the king of stunts and what-not.

 

On a random note if there was one guy from all of that I could just sit back and chill with then it would be Dunn. We share very similiar personalities.

I like both crews, but I'm definately a bigger CKY fan. Jackass wouldn't have been nearly as good, if it was just old ass Knoxville.

Dico doesn't do much for me ... his shtick seems very forced, and choreographed. 

 

Just one man's opinion, though.

 

Yet you're a Mike Vallely fan whose "I'm hard as fuck and beat down jocks and security guards " schtick has been wearing thin for years upon years now. Strange.

 

But I don't see Mikey V on Viva La Bam every week. Not that I watch VLB every week, mind you, but I watch it enough to get sick of the people that I see on it each time. If Vallely was a regular and Dico was on occasionally, I'd probably feel the opposite about each.

 

I think that pretty much all of them > Bam, though, if that helps explain my stance on the whole crew at all.

Wasn't a signifigant portion of early Jackass just recycled CKY anyway?

 

Only the first bunch of episodes of the first season; which is one of the many, many reasons why it's taken so long for season one Jackass to get put out on DVD, since just about all of the good stuff was recycled Big Brother Magazine/CKY material and MTV doesn't have the rights to release said material under the Jackass banner without Bam/Knoxville's permission, which the two would only grant MTV if they released the uncensored version of said material....

Wasn't it mostly fat bastard Preston and Wee Man skits?

 

Totally totally different beasts; Preston/Wee Man and just about all of the Johnny Knoxville skits are from the various Big Brother Skateboarding videos. All of the early stuff involving Bam and the Westchester Clique in at least the first three episodes, was from CKY V1 and 2.
