Rating:

Unrated, but contains profanity, nudity, and cast members performing amazing dangerous stunts.

Johnny Knoxville and company return after a four year hiatus, and thankfully they haven't lost their touch. "Jackass number two" can best be described as a collection of numerous sketches, haphazardly pieced together and put onscreen with no concept of continuity or logical progression. The humor is at best infantile, and at worse downright gross. But that is the film's best asset, an exuberant celebration of moronic behavior that's hysterical to behold. Branding, swimming with sharks, impersonating senior citizens, beer colonics, leeches, pleasuring a horse---nothing is too extreme to do on camera. A brashly funny film perfect for anyone looking for a laugh with a low intelligence quota. The unrated version has three minutes that were edited out of the theatrical release to get an R rating. ***

Image and Sound: The picture quality leaves a bit to be desired, mostly looking muted and occasionally bleached out. Camerawork is occasionally jumpy, in keeping with the documentary-like feel of the film. The Dolby Digital 5.1 sound is clear, but never seems to be used to its full potential. ********

In terms of extras, you truly get your money's worth. The disc includes seven additional scenes (all of which included male frontal nudity), as well as numerous deleted scenes that are better off left on the cutting room floor. There's also a 30 minute documentary on the making of the film, which is entertaining to watch although is never particularly insightful. The commentary track by the cast is one of the highlights of the special features, as the gang relates the insanity that went on during filming, as well as random thoughts that pop in their brains as the tape is rolling. But as the case with many releases, not all the extras are worthwhile. The music video by Big Nasty sounds like the same lyrics played over and over again, and the outtakes sem rather nonsensical. *********
