Jackass: The Movie (stylized as jackass the movie) is a 2002 American reality slapstick comedy film directed by Jeff Tremaine. It is a continuation of the MTV television series Jackass, which had completed its run. It was produced by Lynch Siderow Productions and Dickhouse Productions. The film features most of the original Jackass cast, including leader Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O, Bam Margera, Ryan Dunn, Chris Pontius, Ehren McGhehey, Wee Man, Preston Lacy, and Dave England. MTV Films and Paramount Pictures released the film to theaters on October 25, 2002. It grossed over $79 million worldwide and received mixed reviews from critics. It was followed by a sequel, Jackass Number Two (2006). Synopsis Jackass: The Movie is a compilation of stunts, skits, and pranks, intercut with on-set talking heads with its cast.

The final, and perhaps most memorable stunt involves a toy car being inserted into a cast member's anus in order to get it shown in an x-ray. Steve-O was originally set to do the stunt, but after being told by his father that he would be disowned if he had done it, Ryan Dunn volunteers and ends up doing the
