To save his beloved theme park and his relationship with his daughter, D.C. and the Action Point staff risk everything to pull out all the stops..

Trivia

Johnny Knoxville claims to have sustained more injuries from filming Action Point than any other movie of his career. These injuries included four concussions, a broken hand, a damaged meniscus, whiplash, stitches, and the loss of some teeth. The Alpine Slide stunt even caused his eyeball to pop out from its socket on two occasions, due to the disappearance of his orbital lamina on impact.

Their last US performance was in Seattle on 30 May 1984. The band parted ways in 1986.
