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:

Last time on the Jackass 3D free boozing, sumo wrestling, wind blasting, rope swinging, red carpet party coverage: I interviewed director Jeff Tremaine and Jackass members Ryan Dunn and Chris Pontius.  Today I finish off the interviews with fellow Jackass members Eric McGhehey, Preston Lacey and Wee-Man – wherein we discuss their earliest Jackass memories, scenes they wished had made the final cut, Mr. McGhehey’s missing tooth and Jackass 3.5.   Jackass 3D is currently available on DVD and Blu-ray everywhere. Hit the jump for the interviews.

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.

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.

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.
