Title: Why Do You Think THey Call It "Jackass" Anyhow??
Review: KNowing what to expect coming in, "Jackass" fullfilled all my expectations and also surpassed them. For those who don't know, they film is a string of short stunts by a group of very brave/foolish skaters who are constantly testing the bounds of their own destruction and torquing unsuspecting bystanders in the process. Imagine the old "Candid Camera" show on PCP. Yeah, way cool!The first scene made me fall in love with the concept when Johnny Knoxville with a straight face tries to return a trashed rental car he's just used for demo derby and ask earnestly for his deposit to be returned.Other highlights are "mobile roller disco", the human mouse trap and some of the stupidest(but funniest)destructive and dangerous concepts you will be glad someone else is doing.Editing is great, the director transitions from stunt to stunt without trepidation or hesitation. I could have watched another hour of this without tiring.
