Trivia

The final stunt of the movie features Johnny Knoxville diving into water with Rip Taylor holding up a "The End" sign. On the DVD release of the movie, you can actually see that this was the last part of a much larger stunt involving all of the cast members that was never successfully completed. It was mostly featured on at least the European VHS release however, and the complete stunt was reminiscent of a stunt track, in which every cast member would be part of the track, with Johhny Knoxvile diving in the water as the climax.

Goofs

In the X-Ray scene when Ryan Dunn first meets the doctor you can clearly see that there is already an X-ray shot with a toy car in rectum hanging behind doctor's back. That was from another appointment that the crew didn't get the desired reaction from.

Quotes

Johnny Knoxville: What's the quickest you've ever knocked anyone out?
Butterbean: I hold, like, a California state record's like 18 seconds including the ten-count.
Johnny Knoxville: I think you're gonna break that today.

Crazy Credits

When the MTV FILMS logo shows, Chris Pontius can be heard laughing. The credits play over outtakes, deleted scenes, bookend footage, and alternate camera angles and takes.

---

Alternate Versions

Although passed without interference for cinema release, the BBFC insisted upon warning captions being placed on screen during the more dangerous stunts (e.g. the fireworks segments).

User Reviews

Talent-free tosh

This is, as you might have guessed, based on the MTV television show of the

same name. The only supposed difference here is that it is more extreme than

its smaller-screen cousin.

I say 'supposedly' because there is very little here that's noticeably more

extreme (bar uncensored foul language). It's also a bit of a cheek calling it a movie when there's no actual plot -- just sketches of insanity -- and no real talent either (although not recommended, anyone could do the things here).

There are also some sketches that are simply tedious repeats of others (albeit in a different setting), meaning that it is even more of a con. And it's not even all that funny either (I certainly wasn't exactly rolling about splitting my sides); it's just juvenile.

What a waste of film.
