Trivia:

When Johnny Knoxville claims that he was Lon Chaney's lover after being thrown out of the liquor store, Knoxville actually had no clue who Chaney was. He saw Chaney's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame as he was thrown out and thought it would be a funny thing to say.

Goofs:

Crew or equipment visible: In the opening scene, where Johnny Knoxville is taking the rental car to the shop, in the top left corner, a boom mic is clearly visible.

Quotes:

Johnny Knoxville:Do you have a pocket ass?

Jackass, maybe.... Hilarious, YES!

When Jackass scraped across the screens of MTV viewers, people were both disgusted and left rolling on the floor laughing... at the same time. Never before has a show gone so far to make us laugh with experimental slapstick comedy that goes there. Then the film came out... and its non-stop, laugh-till-your-throat-hurts, vomit-till-your-stomach's-dry comedy. There are no stunt-men, no stand-ins... not even a high-tech camera... THIS is Jackass, and it still manages to make us 'ooh' and 'oh my god' plus 'HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!!!' without tire or wear.... Cheers, you Jackass... you earned it.
