Visible crew/equipment: In the old man scene at the end of the movie after the credits roll, Ryan Dunn was supposedly launched into the air by an explosion. If you look closely after he hits the building you can see the cable that is lifting and holding him up.
Jackass: The Movie (2002)
1 visible crew/equipment mistake
Directed by: Jeff Tremaine
Starring: Johnny Knoxville, Bam Margera, Chris Pontius, Steve-O
Other mistake: In the Rube Goldberg Test scene, read the subtitles when Rip Taylor is talking. In the actual movie (where all we see is Johnny Knoxville coming out of the catapult) the subtitles have him saying "Oh, child." at one point. In the extras (where we see the complete Rube Goldberg Test), the subtitles show Rip saying "Oh, John." for the same line.
Steve-O: We wanted to see if you would run.
Ryan Dunn: I'm not running anywhere with a toy car shoved up my butt.
Trivia: Around the time of the movie's release, the creators and studios behind the "Jackass" franchise were sued by a man who had legally changed his name to "Jack Ass" in the 90's to raise awareness of drunk driving. Mr. Ass (don't laugh) sought over $10 million in damages, claiming that the franchise would ruin his reputation, but the case was eventually tossed out by the court, presumably because "jackass" is a very common word.
Question: On Yahoo movies, the description of this film says "including a climactic stunt of immense insanity." Now I have seen the movie, but I can't figure out just what stunt was the "climactic one". They all seemed quite climactic and very insane, so I'm wondering if anyone actually knows what stunt they were talking about, or if anyone has a good idea of which one it was.
Answer: Yes, there is a very lengthy and intricate stunt done called the Perfect Ending or something like that. You have to view the extra features on the Jackass DVD to see it.
