JACKASS 3.5: THE UNRATED MOVIE Blu-ray Review

by Andre Dellamorte    Posted: June 15th, 2011 at 5:42 am

Jackass films aren’t made with a shooting script and meticulous camera work. The process involves a lot of trial and error, and so for every movie, it seems there’s enough footage to make a number of films. And where the theatrical Jackass 3-D focuses on the stuff that went great, Jackass 3.5 offers the stunts that were too stupid, too lame, too familiar, or too dangerous to make the theatrical release. It’s the whole gang: Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O, Bam Margera, Ryan Dunn, Chris Pontius, Ehren McGhehey, Dave England, Preston Lacy and Wee-Man. And they’re there to celebrate their failures. Check out our review of the Blu-ray after the jump.

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

by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub    Posted: March 27th, 2011 at 5:19 pm

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:

More JACKASS Coming to Theaters Soon?

by Laura Kelley    Posted: October 18th, 2010 at 6:45 pm

Since Jackass 3D has been a huge success, making $50.4 million over the weekend, Paramount is considering possibly using additional footage from the film as another sequel.  According to star Johnny Knoxville, the crew shot enough footage to make another movie, and much of what they shot never made it to Paramount.  The studio’s original plan was to release the material as an online follow-up like Jackass 2.5, but plans may change after the success of Jackass 3D.  A decision will likely be made in the next few days, according to the LA Times.  Hit the jump for more including what was left out of the film and the future of the franchise.

Friday Box Office – JACKASS 3D Has Giant $21.7 Million Debut; RED in Second with $7.1 Million

by Nicole Pedersen    Posted: October 16th, 2010 at 8:54 am

Who knew? Ten years after a group of bleary-eyed dreamers with nothing but a shopping cart, a staple gun and a complete lack of social boundaries found their way to MTV on the series Jackass, it looks like the market for watching men perform their own vasectomies has only grown. And I mean seriously grown. The third installment in the Jackass cinematic dynasty, Jackass 3D, has debuted with a staggering $21.7 million from 3,081 locations. Not only does that give Jackass 3D the biggest debut of the entire franchise it also makes it, by far, the biggest debut of the fall – outstripping the 3D Resident Evil: Afterlife by more than $10 million. In fact, you would have to look all the way back to Inception last July to find a film that matches Jackass 3D’s opening day. At this point it looks like Jackass 3D could realize as much as $40 million through Sunday. I repeat: who knew?  Summit’s DC comic adaptation Red came in second with $7.1 million from 3,255 locations. That is just over the debut of Wall Street 2 which means that, finally, fall 2010 may have a weekend that doesn’t fall short by 2009 standards.  We’ll update you tomorrow.

	Title	Friday	Total
1	Jackass 3D	$21,700,000	$21.7
2	Red	$7,100,000	$7.1
3	The Social Network	$3,300,000	$55.4
4	Life as We Know It	$3,000,000	$22.6
5	Secretariat	$2,800,000	$20.8

Steve-O and Chris Pontius Interview JACKASS 3D

by Christina Radish    Posted: October 14th, 2010 at 3:34 am

Having met through the skateboarding magazine Big Brother, where filmmaker Jeff Tremaine was the editor and art director, Steve-O and Chris Pontius started making videos of various crazy stunts with Johnny Knoxville, a writer there, for a video series that would accompany the publication. The success of those videos, showcasing their painful antics, expanded into the concept that became the television pilot for the successful MTV reality series Jackass, and now the franchise is in its third feature film installment, this time upping the ante by being in 3D.

At the film’s press day, Steve-O and Chris Pontius talked about having to be sober in order to be allowed to shoot a stunt, worrying about keeping things R-rated for the MPAA and the extreme tension on set because side pranks can happen to anyone at anytime. Check out what they had to say after the jump.

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.

Jeff Tremaine Exclusive Interview JACKASS 3D

by Christina Radish    Posted: October 12th, 2010 at 5:29 pm

The pranksters that make up the Jackass crew are at it again in their third outing, but this time audiences get the added bonus of seeing all of the crazy and outrageous shenanigans in 3D. With director Jeff Tremaine at the helm once again, the use of the in-your-face technology seems to have made the guys want to push things even further with their stunts, skits and general all-around crude behavior.

At the film’s press day, Jeff Tremaine spoke to Collider for this exclusive interview about how Jackass came to be, having to always look over this shoulder anytime he’s around the guys, adjusting the process for 3D, and conceptualizing the incredible opening and closing sequences for the film. He also revealed that he’s currently reading feature film and television scripts, looking for what he wants to take on next. Check out what he 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.

Exclusive: Director Jeff Tremaine Interview JACKASS 3D; Reveals 80% was Shot in 3D, Will be 90 Minutes, Wants to do a Version 3.5, More!

by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub    Posted: July 29th, 2010 at 8:12 pm

One of the highlights at this year’s Comic-Con was getting to see the first footage from Jackass 3D.  While I knew the movie was going to be special, I was unprepared for how awesome the footage would look.  Here’s my recap of the event.  Trust me, Jackass 3D is going to print money for Paramount this October and everyone is going to be talking it once the studio releases a trailer.

Anyway, after I got to see the 8 minutes of footage, I managed to interview director Jeff Tremaine.  If you’re a fan of the Jackass franchise and looking forward to the 3rd installment, you’ll love this interview as we covered everything!  Tremaine  talked about filming in 3D, what cameras they used, said the running time will be exactly 90 minutes and wants to release version 3.5 down the road, what original skits might be making a return, the opening sequence, the most challenging stunts, when did they start filming and are they done, and so much more.  Hit the jump to check it out:

Images from JACKASS 3D Event at Comic-Con and Steve Watches 8 Minutes from the Soon to Be Classic Film

by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub    Posted: July 26th, 2010 at 9:17 pm

I saw a lot of awesome movie footage at this year’s Comic-Con. While many things impressed me, only one thing made me laugh so hard that I almost couldn’t take it: Jackass 3D.  In an abandoned parking lot last Friday night, Paramount showed about 8 minutes of the movie in a converted trailer and it played huge. Literally everyone I spoke with afterwards was raving about the footage and if you’re a fan of the Jackass franchise, it looks like the 3rd film is going to be the best.

Also, this isn’t some converted 3D movie like Clash of the Titans or Last Airbender.  When they shot Jackass 3, they used 3D cameras and it shows! During the 8 minutes of footage we saw some crazy stunts and it looked amazing in 3D.  While Jeffrey Katzenberg and James Cameron have been raving about 3D and how it can help the movie going experience, I’m wondering what they’ll say when they see Steve-O in a portopotie getting thrown around with feces flying everywhere – including on the cameras and in his mouth.  It was some of the sickest and most awesome movie footage I have ever seen.  Much more after the jump:
