Jackass 3. Generally speaking, easy review: Funny Stuff. Now, I am not a fan of the series. It was made worse by watching The Dudesons. It seems like every country could potentially have these teams of fools. But, you have to be honest here, for every person who hates Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O, and their henchmen, there are ten who love them. I have a buddy who calls 'em brilliant. I won't go that far. They have mastered idiocy, so I guess if 'mastering' something means brilliance, I might be wrong. Oh well.
The easiest thing to say about this series: "It's probably not for the faint of heart". This is the 3rd movie in the franchise, and it's 3D. Available on Blu-Ray now. No plot. No Story. The theme is laughter. Usually at themselves. It's rolling scene after scene without connecting them. The movie opens with a giant hand hidden behind a wall. It's very funny. Johnny Knoxville holds the spring released hand behind a wall, as people approach the opening, the hand flies out, in 3D, and levels the unsuspecting victims. I was watching it alone and I laughed loud enough for ten people.
From there, it goes to Jet-Ski jumping, bungy rope tricks, big person/midget swapping scenes. The best scene for me was the midget bar fight. It starts with two love struck midgets entering a relatively busy bar. Within a moment, another midget enters screaming about an affair and cheating. The fight's on. Big
people just stand watching. I must say, I was hoping to see at least one person laughing their ass off within the scene, but the customers thought it was serious. Then, two midget police officers enter. The fight gets bigger. Then midget paramedics come in. They trash the bar. Customers just stood and watch. The scene closes with a dumbfounded woman, beer in hand, looking around and asking, "What the hell just happened? They were all little people?". Again, I laughed pretty good.
To be honest, though, I almost stopped watching when the "Shit Volcano" scene came up. One of the guys must have downed half a bar of ex-lax for this one. He tucked himself almost upside down, painted his ass green, and pointed his ass up through a flat board model train set. Essentially, the mound of his ass
simply looked like a mountain in the middle of this train set. The train goes around and around, suddenly a big spike of almost liquid feces jettisons into the air, like a volcano. You don't realize what you just watched until they hit slow motion, in 3D, and widen the shot enough to see the moron tucked under the model
train set. Completely disgusting. Vomit causing to some people.
I actually did stop watching when the 'sweat suit' cocktail scene opened. One of the large, fat dads wrapped himself up in suran wrap, tucked a massive funnel hose under his ass/scrotum area, with the hose leading to a plastic cup. He began running on a tread mill to fill the suit with his own fat, crappy sweat, which in turn would drain into the hose and run it's way down to fill up the cup. I turned it off, so I don't know if someone drank it. I'll assume "YES".
The Jackass guys have no boundaries. While they test their own pain endurance. You will definitely test your stomach muscles from laughing so hard, but your gag reflex will get a workout, too.
