Continuity mistake: The opening scene in the shopping cart must have been filmed in two places. At one point you can see the end of the road, which is just a brick wall, but they crash into a market.
Jackass: The Movie (2002)
Plot summary
Directed by: Jeff Tremaine
Starring: Johnny Knoxville, Bam Margera, Chris Pontius, Steve-O
In what may go down in history as the most irresponsible, outrageous footage ever to be released by a major Hollywood studio, Paramount Pictures presents Jackass: The Movie Entering a rental car in a crash-up derby, snorting wasabi, eating a urine-soaked snow-cone, self-inflicting paper cuts, and using a store's display toilet are just a few of the increasingly obscene antics that unfurl at a relentless pace. A large portion of the footage finds the pranksters in Japan, dressing up in outlandish outfits and wreaking havoc on the unsuspecting locals. Whether or not this is a hysterical romp or a waste of eighty minutes is for the viewer to decide, but the fact can't be argued, Jackass: The Movie is slapstick entertainment for the 21st Century, incorporating the modern world's fascination with reality television and obsession with disaster into a raucous, electrifying spectacle.

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.
