Description
As if going "number two" wasn't enough, Johnny Knoxville and the entire crew from "Jackass" return in yet another insane foray into stupidity, Jackass 2.5. Featuring all the stuff they couldn't show you before, the boys take their stunts to all-new heights that'll leave you laughing, squirming, and begging for more.

Basically, this is anything that was not worth the time or effort to be edited and thrown into Jackass 2, either because it just couldnt be cut shorter, it didnt turn out the way they wanted, or it just wasnt funny. While some scenes could have been edited into shorter clips, they just weren't worth it and that is what it is all presented here. Through post-film and on the set interviews, 2/4 of the "movie" is just the whole crew describing the next scenes and while some might seem interesing, they just don't turn out funny at all. This is definately not worthy of a movie or your time unless your a die-hard collector of Jackass stuff.
 Slightly amusing rehash April 18, 2008

Jackass is one of the few "indulgences" I grant my old reactionary mind, and at times I laugh my heart out. This particular DVD feels very much like a moneymaking scheme. As others have pointed out, there isn't really anything "new" in it, apart from one hilarious scene which is worth the price of the DVD in itself. Preston Lacy plays the ape in "King Kong" (in full costume), Wee-man his damsel in distress, and all the others are trying to bring him down from the top of a portable toilet on a hill with their model airplanes. Not to mention that Lacy is immensely scared of heights! Classical insanity, if I ever saw it.
The major part of rest is very vulgar and most of the "humour" centres on the lower region of the human body. Might be amusing to some people, I just found it disgusting. Mindless nihilism at its worst, I'd say. There are some interesting interviews on how they feel about the various types of sketches and so on, but apart from that this will be of interest only to the biggest fans. Dave England and Danger Ehren along with the "King Kong"-scene saves the entire DVD, those two guys always get me laughing no matter what.
Apart from that there's not really much to say, it is the same "Jackass" we've seen before, but this time we've seen most of the exact same material before literally. 3 stars.
 Not a good laugh in it. March 17, 2008

I've seen episodes of the TV show and both Jackass 1 and 2. The guys are at their best, in my opinion, when they are attempting lame-brained stunts. The show and the first two movies offered a high ratio of good solid laughs to every moment where you turned away from the screen in embarassment.
2.5 is mostly about the guys getting rectally violated in some way.If foreign object insertions, prostate exams, and so on are things you find funny, you'll enjoy 2.5. There's also a fair amount of on-screen defecating, if that amuses you.
The conceit of the movie is that most of what you'll see didn't work, so it wasn't included in 2. They were right to leave this material on the editing room floor. It's just not funny. It's disgusting, it's embarassing, but it isn't funny.
Wait for 3, or go back and watch the show or 1 and 2 over again. You'll regret it if you waste your cash on this.
Rip off.... March 10, 2008

As many have already said, this is not a new "film", but leftover commentaries and stunts from Jackass 2. I found it hilarious when MTV said they were releasing this straight to DVD, many "cultural" critics were aghast, saying this was the end of movies being released to theaters (and other melodramatic and hyperbolic things like that). Since when are the Jackass movies a measure of the motion picture industry anyway?
MTV really should have released this with the Jackass 2 set. It would have improved it a bit. Jackass 2 is not as good as the first one, and it's quite uncomfortable to watch. I think the series has run its course, but then, some people can't get enough of these guys.
Money-Making Mayhem January 27, 2008

I love everything Jackass. I faithfully watched the series and movies. I eagerly waited for the DVDs. I didn't hesitate to buy Jackass 2.5. STUPID! Why would I not buy it, right? A bunch of average-looking, yet incredibly loveable guys creating mayhem in every city they haven't been run out of: sounds like a good watch to me. There wouldn't be any reason to hesitate buying it when the show and two previous movies were such a hit, would there?
Jackass 2.5 was nothing more than a shameless money-making attempt by a bunch of guys who are starting to feel the cash flow pinch. My friends and I are devoted to Jackass, but we'll pass on the spinoff, Wild Boyz,which is nothing more than a spandex-clad, vomit orgy. While Viva La Bam! was MUCH, MUCH, MUCH better than Wild Boyz, how may times can we laugh at Bam beating up Phil before our laughter becomes painfully hysterically? And Knoxville's attempts at acting have sadly left us with Men in Black II, The Ringer, and The Dukes of Hazzard. The boys of Jackass are best being, well jackasses! Unfortunatly, there's only so far this franchise can take you.
