Trivia

It took 23 takes for Ehren Mcghehey to get the intro for the mouse trap stunt right. It got to the point where Johnny Knoxville got frustrated with Mcghehey and almost introduced the stunt for him.

---

Goofs

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. This is a reality film that breaks the fourth wall constantly - crew/equipment visible goofs are not mistakes in this genre.

Quotes

Ehren McGhehey: What's wrong?
Johnny Knoxville: I done fell and busted my ass, that's what's fuckin' wrong!

---

User Reviews

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.
