The first time Jackass: The Movie appeared people found it distirbing, but now they have grown to love it.
The movie and its sequel are about a group of guys who do dangerous stunts and double-dog dares to entertain the public and possibly themselves.
Jackass: Number Two stars Johnny Knoxville, Bam Margera, Steve-O, Chris Pontius, Preston Lacy and Ryan Dunn.
In one particular stunt, Steve-O and Pontius go fishing for sharks with Steve-O as the bait.
They encounter some sharks, and as Steve-O is trying to swim back to the boat, he hits a shark right in the gills with his foot.
"I can't believe I'm fishing for sharks with Steve-O as my bait, " said Pontius, according to the group's official Web site, www.jackassthemovie.com.
The whole group thinks up the ideas for most of the stunts. As stated in the movie, when Margera thinks of an idea, he draws it out rather than putting it into words.
"Most actors and actresses have to learn their lines," said Knoxville, according to the Web site.
"We just have to eat beans or raw cabbage to get gas so we can light a fart underwater. That's our preparation."
Jackass: Number Two probably is one of the best movies I have seen in a long time.
"It was an awesome movie and all-around funny," said Tanner Holeman, a computer science major.
I give it an A+.
