Trivia

The Japanese fortune teller says, "Nihongo o wakarimasu ka?" to Chris Pontius as Party Boy, to which party boy simply nods and sits down. The fortune teller had just asked him, "Do you understand Japanese?"

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

[on "Butt-x-ray"]
Steve-O: If Ryan was an animal, what would he be?
Manny Puig: This doesn't happen in nature.

Crazy Credits

As the credits end, Rip mentions 'the next one should be The Son Of Jackass'. Fade to '2063: The Son Of Jackass', where an elderly version of the crew (as seen on Spike Jonez, Bam Margera, and Johnny Knoxville in the movie itself) attempts to escape explosions, flying debris, trucks, and crashing sheds. Only Steve O. makes it out alive.

---

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).

Feckless Stupidity + Breakneck Elan = Lots of gut-wrenching laughs

JACKASS: THE MOVIE (2002) *** Johnny Knoxville, Bam Margera, Chris Pontius, Steve-O, Dave England, Ryan Dunn, Jason `Wee-Man' Acuna, Preston Lacy, Ehren McGhehey, Brandon Dicamillo, Henry Rollins, Tony Hawk, Spike Jonze. MTV's cult-classic gross-out daredevil stunt show headlined by Knoxville (nee PJ Clapp) goes gonzo on the big screen for bigger, stupider and more dangerous bits of anarchy and insanity that delivers huge, gut-wrenching laughs from the most primordial (and primal) depths with some truly gross-out sequences and arguably original inanities at hand. You've been warned! (Dir: Jeff Tremaine)
