So we get the latest 3D movie to hit the screen, and it's brought to us by the crew from Jackass.
There's not much in the way of plot for the movie, so anyone looking for great acting would be disappointed, but if you're a fan of crude humor, stunts and pranks then it's the perfect flick. There's quite a few stunts in it that don't really seem to pop in the way of 3-D, however there are quite a few that work wonderfully in the 3D format.
Notably, the beginning of the flick, the ending, and scenes like the "Heli-co*kter" work well for 3D. A lot of the stuff was pretty funny and left almost everyone in the theater laughing, despite the outrageousness of it.
Lots of full frontal nudity, lots of poop, lots of vomit. But, there's also appearances by Beavis and Butt-head, Rip Taylor, Tony Hawk, Seann William Scott, and some NFL players.
If you've not seen Jackass before, it's worth seeing in the 3D format. I know quite a few people who HATED the series but liked the movie. Go figure. Well done for what it is.
Best part for me: Midgets in A Bar....a bunch of midgets fighting in a bar, and the cops who intend to stop it are midget cops, and the paramedics are midget paramedics. Anything with little people= greatness.
I've yet to see this newest entry into the Jackass trilogy, but I must say that I'm a fan. The show was mediocre but these guys really go all out for the films. It's excessive, over the top trash at it's best. Great way to spend an hour and a half. I'm curious to see if the 3D actually adds anything
I think it's the best of the "trilogy".

The 3D does add to the film, at least for certain stunts/pranks. Notably, the beginning credits scene, the ending credits, and various stunts throughout like the "Rocky" skits, Poop Volcano, Jet Ski, and a few others.
The other skits/stunts don't really get anything added by the 3D, notably Teeball, Dirty Grandpa, Rollerblading with Buffalo, the Bees, and a few others.
If it's around your way, it's worth seeing in 3D for the hell of it, as there's nothing like Steve-O puking at you in the Third Dimension. :bouncegiggle:
I've never had any interest in Jackass. I kind of liked the old CKY videos, but I grew tired of those by the time Jackass came about. I'm no stranger to low-brow, but Jackass just doesn't do it for me.

Love the CKY videos. It's not unusual to see the members of CKY walking around. They live 15 minutes or so from here.
Tried to sneak into this with my buddies today, but they had a rent-a-cop standing at the door of the theatre taking IDs.
We bought tickets for Paranormal activity 2 and had to watch that. Ugh.

I never liked Jackass, I don't like it when people get hurt on PURPOSE for the purpose for entertainment. And I hate the new 3-D craze, Either see it in regular form or don't see it at all. :hatred:
anyhow, I'm waiting for a Nitro Circus movie which is reportedly will come out in October of next year. :teddyr:

I usually avoid 3D movies, but for this, I had to as I'm a fan of Jackass and felt it'd be the best way. And not everything in Jackass is people getting hurt. There's stuff where it's just pranks and skits.
And, admittedly I"m not overly familar with Circus, but doesn't that involve stunts and all that? Dont people get hurt? I've only seen a few episodes and found out the crew behind Jackass produced it. :question:

Sometimes people gets hurt, but for the most part, it's usually doing stupid stunts with vehicles

What kinda got me into Jackass was I was a fan of Skateboarding and Bam Margera. Bam lives here and had done the CKY videos. What with him running around filming, it wasn't uncommon to see him doing things locally. And, his brothers music (Jess Margera/drummer for CKY) has a large following in this area.

Ah. I saw some episodes of this on tv, but haven't followed it. Didn't know there was a movie.
Went to see this with some friends last night and loved it!
There were about 20-30 people in the theater and we were all busting our guts laughing. :teddyr:
I have to agree about the 3D not working so well in certain parts of the movie. The parts that did work well were great. The Helico*kter and especially the farting guy who blew one of those party noise makers was hilarious.
My personal favorites were any scenes where someone gets hit and then they'd show it in slow motion. The Rocky scenes where Bam would come up behind someone, throw water on their face with his left hand while simultaneously punching them in the face with a boxing glove on the other hand were awesome!
The High Five was also pretty good as was the corridor of hanging stun guns. (Electric Avenue)
The 3D glasses they gave us looked just like the glasses Drew Carey wears and they darkened the image considerably. Everything was much darker than it should've been.
Theaters need to turn up the lamps on their projectors to compensate for the dark lenses some of these 3D glasses have.
I hadn't been to a 3D movie in probably 20 years so it was a little disconcerting at first. I thought I'd be able to get used to it but never really did.
I'll take regular 2D movies anyday over 3D.
I'm giving Jackass 3D 3 out of 4 stars. :thumbup:
Electric Avenue was great.
I loved the Midget Fight with the midget cops and midget paramedics. Comedy gold.
I saw this yesterday ~ my first 3D film, believe it or not ~ and I enjoyed it very much, while trying not to puke sometimes.

I'm guessing the parts with people pooping and vomiting- IN 3D!- no less got to you? :bouncegiggle:

Yes, especially Dave England's Valley Volcano or whatever it was called. :buggedout: :buggedout:
What I didn't expect was to get a bit emotional during the credits with seeing the young Jackass crew as they were and are now: I actually got teary-eyed. Bad idea to try and rub your eyes while wearing two pairs of glasses. :teddyr:

It was a nice added touch. Granted, I like the band Weezer, and knew they were doing a song for the movie. Had no idea it'd involve showing them back 10/15 years ago just starting up til now.
It was funny seeing Ryan Dunn and Bam and Bam's parents and some of the clips from the CKY videos they did. Glad I bought them videos then, cause now they want $80 or more for em.
I love these lyrics from Memories:
p**sing in plastic cups before we went on stage
Playing hackey sack back when Audioslave was still Rage
Watching all the freaky Dutch kids vomit then have sex
Listening to techno music on the bus while we earned our checks
Especially the line about the Dutch kids. :buggedout: :buggedout: + :teddyr: :teddyr:

Coincidentally, that section of the song is my cell phone ring tone. :buggedout:

Karma for making me almost spit up my lunch laughing. :teddyr: :teddyr: :teddyr:
Yeah, I assumed they would've had the chorus of the song, but turns out they had that section. Which works out cause it's good.
