Did You Know?

Trivia

Another reason for filming extensively in Japan is that laws requiring non-consenting participants to have their faces blurred out do not apply in Japan. However, in the 2006 re-released unrated DVD, all the Japanese faces shown are blurred out.

Goofs

In the burglar skit, Bam has nothing on his head when him and Johnny first land on the ground. In the next shot, he has a black cap on.

Quotes

Johnny Knoxville: I was Lon Chaney's lover!

Crazy Credits

At the end of the film, a warning appears. "Reminder: the stunts in this movie were performed by professionals, so for your safety and the protection of those around you, do not attempt any of the stunts you have just seen."

---

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).

What a dumb movie

This movie was VERY dumb. Can anything be dumber than the guys from this movie? I don't think so. And I ask myself, "why do I find it interesting to watch dumb people doing stupid things?" Because it's funny ! But it is not an average funny, it's a different, very different kind of funny. And I believe it works because they are the only ones doing this kind of stuff in the movie/TV business. We ought to recognize that they (the Jackass crew) broke a barrier. They crossed the other side...and nothing happened to them! It's like real-life Beavis and Butthead experience. Rest assured that whoever is planning to watch this is going to a experience some thrills and chill! There are moments in witch you are going to be like "Oh gross!" and other moments that you will be thinking "How come I never thought of doing that when I was a kid?" This said, I can assure you this: "Jackass:The Movie" is entertaining ...and cool!
