Jackass: The Movie

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.

William Bergquist

Question: What song is played during the opening credits? It sounds familiar, but I can't quite place it. What other movies has it been used in?

Chosen answer: It's Carl Orff's classic composition "Carmina Burana". It's most prominent use was in Excalibur (1981), other movies to feature it include Detroit Rock City and General's Daughter (both 1999).

Mistakes

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.

Trivia

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.
