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

Steve-O: We wanted to see if you would run!
Ryan Dunn: I'm not running anywhere with a toy car shoved up my butt.

---

User Reviews

One of those movies which you either hate or love it

Want to spend 87 minutes of your life watching a pathetic group hurting themselves in a senseless way? Jackass: The Movie is a perfect movie to do that. Its a movie that people either hate it or love it instantly. And I'm a proud person to say that I love it. Some funny scenes, gross-out scenes, and some that are just... TOO GROSS! But after the credits roll, you got to think, "How could they possibly do that?" Just to make people laugh. 9.5 stars out of 10
