JACKASS 3.5 THE UNRATED MOVIE Hits Blu-ray/DVD June 14; Includes 30 Minutes of Outtakes and Deleted Scenes

by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub    Posted: April 11th, 2011 at 10:07 am

For those not wanting to watch selected clips from Jackass 3.5 on Joost every week, Paramount Home Video has just set a June 14 release for Jackass 3.5 on Blu-ray and DVD.  While the DVD will be available nationwide, the Blu-ray is a Best Buy exclusive.  According to the press release:

The Blu-ray and DVD boast over 30 minutes of exclusive, never-before-seen footage.  Bonus features include outrageous outtakes and deleted scenes, as well as a look at the origins of the Jackass franchise and footage from the Jackass European tour where the troupe brought mayhem across the pond to England, Ireland and Spain while filming more of their insanely inventive stunts.

I caught a screening of Jackass 3.5 and thought it could have had a limited theatrical run as there are a few very funny skits.   Hit the jump for the press release and cover art.

Exclusive: Director Jeff Tremaine on JACKASS 3.5, REVENGE OF THE JOCKS, and the Future of JACKASS

If you’re a fan of Jackass, April 1st is Christmas Day.  That’s because while Jackass 3.5 could have been released in theaters, it’s going to be showing for free on Joost.com!  According to director Jeff Tremaine, every Tuesday and Friday, between one to three segments from Jackass 3.5 will be showing on Joost, and it’ll continue until it’s done.  Down the road, you can expect it to be released on DVD/Blu-ray.  I caught a screening of the entire film a few days ago and it’s extremely funny and it’s got a few amazing stunts.  I’m actually surprised they didn’t release it in theaters.

Anyway, a few days ago I sat down with Tremaine to talk about all things Jackass.  We discussed why didn’t Jackass 3.5 hit theaters first, the future of Jackass, how much deleted footage is still in the vaults, did they ever stop a stunt due to being too dangerous, his upcoming scripted-feature directorial debut, Revenge of the Jocks, and a lot more.  I’ve listed the highlights of the interview as bullet points and I’ve also time indexed the entire interview so you can watch the parts that interest you.  Hit the jump to watch:

Johnny Knoxville Will NOT Star in THE THREE STOOGES

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: March 16th, 2011 at 7:46 am

Last week, we reported that Jackass star Johnny Knoxville was in talks to play Moe in The Farrelly Brothers’ The Three Stooges.  However, THR is now reporting that while the Knoxville expressed interest in joining the project, no formal offer was made and the actor is considering two other projects over at Paramount.

As we reported at the beginning of the month, the two projects are Mustache Riders and First Man. Mustache Riders, would have Knoxville reuniting with his Jackass co-stars Bam Margera and Ryan Dunn and the Broken Lizard team for a comedy about a gang of crooks who set out to find a buried treasure alongside a grizzled outlaw.  As for First Man, Knoxville would play the husband of a woman who is running for President.

Paramount Sets Up Projects for JACKASS Gang, Johnny Knoxville to Star in FIRST MAN and MUSTACHE RIDERS

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: March 3rd, 2011 at 5:30 pm

Coming off the success of Jackass 3D, Paramount is working to keep the Jackass gang happy. They recently bought First Man as a starring vehicle for Johnny Knoxville, and have made movement on the in-the-works project Mustache Riders. First Man will see Knoxville playing a natural hellraiser, who “has totally behaved himself during his wife’s presidential campaign, only to find the dynamic of their relationship change after he moves into the White House and becomes First Man.” Matt Spicer & Max Winkler, who wrote Whispers in Bedlam for Jason Reitman to direct, will script the flick.

Deadline also reports that Paramount is “restructuring” one of their properties called Mustache Riders for Knoxville, Bam Margera, Ryan Dunn and Willie Nelson to star. The film centers on three crooks who set out to find buried treasure alongside a “grizzled old outlaw” (I’m guessing that’s Nelson). Most likely, Paramount hopes that setting these projects up for the boys will entice them to have another go-around with Jackass, thereby making lots and lots of money.

JACKASS 3-D Blu-ray Review

by Andre Dellamorte    Posted: February 26th, 2011 at 4:26 pm

Seeing the Jackass gang ten years after their MTV show hit the airwaves, it’s impossible not to notice that we’re no longer looking at fresh-faced boys. Though surely everyone in the gang – Johnny Knoxville, Bam Margera, Steve-O, Chris Pontius, Ryan Dunn, Wee Man, Preston Lacy, Dave England and “Danger” Ehren Mcghehy – took their spills and hits before the show, and ten years on Indiana Jones was never more right: It’s not the years, it’s the mileage. For the first time for many of them, in Jackass 3-D they’re also doing these pranks and stunts sober, which must compound the pain of their idiotic (often heroically so) stunts. Hell, you probably have to be some form of intoxicated to think it would be fun to dress up like Santa Claus and climb a tree right before it gets cut down. For Jackass 3-D – in what may be the final go-around for these guys (at least if they hope to be walking for the rest of their lives) – the group do hilariously terrible things to each other and themselves. My review of the Blu-ray of Jackass 3-D follows after the jump.

For Your Consideration Ad for JACKASS 3; DVD and Blu-ray Set for Release on March 8th

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: January 5th, 2011 at 11:29 am

It’s awards season and while most films won’t be in the running for an Oscar, doesn’t mean it’s not fun to try.  Paramount has drawn up a For Your Consideration ad for Jackass 3 (aka Jackass 3D) and hopes that the Academy will consider the film to be worthy of awards in multiple categories, including Art Direction, Cinematography, Costume Design, and Best Picture.  While the film is unlikely to receive any Oscar nominations (unless the Academy suddenly decides to create a category for Best Use of Fecal Matter), it’s all in good fun.

Paramount has also announced that the DVD and Blu-ray Combo Pack for the film is due out March 8th.  Hit the jump to check out the For Your Consideration ad as well as the list of special features included on the upcoming DVD and Blu-ray.

JACKASS 3D Review

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: October 15th, 2010 at 9:11 am

Before seeing Jackass 3D, I only knew the franchise by reputation.  I never watched the show or saw the first two movies.  I was familiar with the premise: guys torture themselves for our amusement.  The intellectual in me (tiny as he may be) always scoffed at the subject.  “What a sad commentary on the state of entertainment in post-modern American (cue snobbish laugh)”.  But then I remember that I watch Tosh.0 every week and seeing the self-inflected misfortunes of others makes me giggle.  With that in mind, I went to see Jackass 3D and got exactly what I expected.  While the 3D is only used effectively for about a quarter of the film’s sketches (particularly the first and last sketch), most of the gags are clever and some of the gags will make you gag.  But there is no mistaking Jackass 3D, even if this is the first time you’ve stared into their abyss of pain.

3 Movie Clips from JACKASS 3D

by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub    Posted: October 13th, 2010 at 9:42 am

With director Jeff Tremaine’s Jackass 3D opening this weekend, we’ve been given three clips from the film.  Since the movie has an embargo on all reviews until opening day, I can’t say what I thought.  I can, however, tell you that you need to see the movie in 3D.  The opening scene alone is worth the higher ticket price.

For what I thought about the almost ten minutes of Jackass 3D footage that I saw at this year’s Comic-Con, click here.  Otherwise hit the jump to watch the clips.  Unfortunately, they’re only in 2D.

Johnny Knoxville and Bam Margera Interview JACKASS 3D

by Christina Radish    Posted: October 12th, 2010 at 4:50 pm

Johnny Knoxville has gained fame as the creator and star of the controversial MTV reality series Jackass, the popularity of which grew so rapidly that it spawned big screen feature films. For its third installment in the franchise, this time in mind-blowing 3D, Knoxville has teamed up yet again with Jeff Tremaine and Spike Jonze, along with all of his usual cohorts, to bring their personal aesthetic, brand of danger and sick humor to various stunts and skits that risk their lives on a regular basis.

At the film’s press day, Johnny Knoxville and Bam Margera talked about what keeps them motivated to continue putting themselves on the line, being more willing now than ever to do outrageous stuff and how, when a stunt actually goes right on the first try, they can always do it again until it doesn’t. Check out what they had to say after the jump.

First Trailer for JACKASS 3D

by Brendan Bettinger    Posted: August 5th, 2010 at 8:13 pm

Assuming you have the stomach for that kind of entertainment, Jackass: The Movie and Jackass Number Two were about the most fun you could have in a crowded theater.  In case you haven’t heard, the Jackass decided to up the ante for the new sequel by shooting upwards of 80% of the stunts in 3D.  Steve saw eight minutes of footage from Jackass 3D at Comic-Con, and loved it.  Though Paramount could only post the trailer online in 2D, I can see why it caught his eye — so very funny.  Check it out for yourself after the jump.

Is JACKASS 3 in 3D Arriving in 2010?

by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub    Posted: November 19th, 2009 at 3:09 pm

It seems someone let the cat out of the bag a bit early.  Thanks to William Goss spotting Jackass 3D on Paramount’s 2010 schedule, it seems the adventures of Johnny Knoxville, Bam Margera and Steve-O are going to continue on movie screens….but this time we’re going to get them in 3D!  While I thought the first Jackass movie was an amazing cinematic achievement, I didn’t think the second movie was worth anyone’s time and most of it played like a long deleted scene.  Of course I’ll be the first one in line for a 3D Jackass movie…but after my recent experiences on a movie shooting in 3D, I’m not 100% sold this is really happening.   My explanation after the jump:
