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
Continuity mistake: In the opening credits, the guys are standing full depth in the giant shopping cart. When they get to the bottom, the cart most noticeably has a platform halfway down that the guys are standing on when they get thrown out. [It is mentioned on the cast commentary (by Bam) that they needed to raise it up because they were afraid of jumping out from so low down in the trolley. Still a mistake, but that's why it's there.]
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: Johnny Knoxville had vertigo for six weeks after Butterbean knocked him out. He also had a GQ photoshoot the next day.
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.
