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 - chronological order
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.
Johnny Knoxville: There's no such thing as failure, Steve-O... One thing I know, is good tightrope walking.
Trivia: Prior to the release of this film, Johnny Knoxville was reported to be, by an American tabloid, "so dishevelled" by a boy who died reconstructing "Big Wheel Craze" that he refused to make the movie or any more episodes of "Jackass." Two weeks later, the ad for the film was shown in the exact same spot in the paper.
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.
