JACKASS 3DA review by Shlomoh ShermanWednesday, October 20, 2010
Director: Jeff Tremaine |

Jackass 3D is the third movie of the Jackass series.
To say that Jackass3D is crazy, outrageous, and funny would be understatements!
To fans who have seen the previous Jackass films, this is your Nirvana! I never went to a movie theater to see any of them but once when I was at a friend's house, he had the DVD and that DVD was my introduction.
When my daughter was a teenager, she once said to a group of her friends, "I am the only person in the world whose father is the same age as his daughter
To my utter amazement, the movie has an introduction by Beavis and Butt-head, explaining the 3D technology behind the movie. These two little bastards are near and dear to my heart, as they would be to any 73 year old teenager. The intro shows the cast being assaulted by various objects in slow-motion. The intro and most of the stunts in the movie were filmed with the the latest motion picture equipment and technology.
The closing scene is done in a similar fashion as the intro, but using explosions (while objects being thrown at the cast). After the explosions are finished, the cast members are flushed away by a wave pool. Like the past movies, comedian Rip Taylor makes an appearance before the credits roll. As the credits come to a close, a retrospective is shown with clips from the original show along with old photographs of cast and crew set to Weezer's "Memories", the movie's single.
There were moments in the film where I actually asked myself what was I doing here watching this over-the-top movie. But then came the moments which made up for that feeling, moments in which I almost pissed myself laughing. Those moments were perhaps the most scatological ones, and by the way, I was the only person in the theater at the early afternoon showing.
Most adults, I think, will not like this movie due to its violent and purile content. BUT - if you are a wild and crazy teenager at heart, if you like seeing men being mauled by bulls and rams, like seeing scenes where genitals and crazy glue meet up, like seeing men catapulted into the air and then covered with the most disgusting material that these guys were able to come up with, plus more, much more, then this movie is for you. I laughed my ass off and now having nothing to sit on. I think you will too, once you finish heaving.
The movie box office grossed $50.4 million dollars on its opening weekend.

Howard Stern is right! Jackass3D is the first film that justifies being shot in 3D, and there are many moments in the movie where you will feel like ducking.

Motion Picture Rating (MPAA): Rated R for male nudity, extremely crude and dangerous stunts throughout, and for language.
The intro to the movie was supposed to feature all the stars being hit in the head while being filmed with a super slow-mo camera, but Bam Margera could not participate after a woman assaulted him in the back of the head with a bat which caused internal bleeding.
An injury to Margera forced a rewrite for the beginning of the movie. On June 12, 2010, Margera was beaten on the head with a bat by a 59 year old African-American woman outside of his bar, The Note. The woman alleged Bam called her a 'nigger' and that she was offended, but did not hit him. When Margera was approached by TMZ two days after the incident, he told them he "never used the n-word" and that "[the lady] attacked me other times before". He explained: "I was internally bleeding in the brain for two days and they wouldn't let me leave the hospital. I was like, 'I need to go to Los Angeles in six hours to go finish Jackass.' We start tomorrow and I'm supposed to get hit in the head and now I can't because of her."
Margera added in the same interview that the opening sequence is being shot with Phantom high speed cameras, which record at 1,000 frames per second to produce hyper-slow motion, similar to the opening sequence of Zombieland. Appropriately, Makeup Effects designer Tony Gardner, designer for all of the Jackass films, also created the zombie hordes for Zombieland.
