More Detail:
JACKASS FOREVER is the fourth official movie based on the TV series featuring crazy and extreme stunts and includes much more of the same, but many of the stunts this time involve graphic, extreme physical abuse of the various stuntmen’s private parts. Containing few genuine laughs, JACKASS FOREVER is extremely graphic, gross and abhorrent, with constant foul language, many close-ups of naked male private parts and frequent, extreme slapstick violence that often veers into overt sadomasochism.
The movie opens with a fictional sequence where a giant lizard monster attacks New York City streets filled with people. The Army calls in some soldiers, who battle the giant lizard. Within this opening sequence, the giant lizard is revealed to be a small puppet draped over a stuntman’s male organ. At the end of the sequence, the whole JACKASS cast yells, “Welcome to JACKASS!”
The rest of the movie involves a series of extreme stunts. Some of the stunts involve such relatively “normal” things as bicyclists riding over two wooden ramps propped up by the bodies of three stuntmen, a chubby man falling onto a giant air bed in a furniture store and sending Johnny Knoxville, dressed as an old man, flying through the panel ceilings above, and two men on exercise bicycles connected to giant plastic hands ready to slap the men into a swimming pool.
One of the funniest sequences has the Jackass team sticking three of its members into a room. A snake wrangler shows a large round plastic container and the live rattlesnake inside. The team then secretly removes the rattlesnake container, replacing it with an empty container. They then lock the main door to the room and turn out the lights, scaring the wits out of the men inside. An escape door leads two or three men to another dark room, but the room has some iron pans strung from the ceiling and a long table full of mousetraps.
One of the more dangerous-looking stunts involves one stuntman strapped to a chair in a room. The team pours honey over his head and places pieces of salmon on his lap. Then, a brown bear is released form a nearby animal door and starts to root around the stuntman’s lap to eat the salmon. The fear on the stuntman’s face is real, as is the relief on his face when the animal trainer finally comes to take away the bear just as it’s about to get even more angry. Another dangerous stunt involves Johnny Knoxville, dressed in a fancy magician’s suit, facing an angry rodeo bull. The bull flips Knoxville high in the air, and the hard fall appears to knock him semi-unconscious. Knoxville regains consciousness and is placed on a stretcher into an ambulance.
Many of the extreme stunts, however, involve total male nudity where the stuntmen expose their private parts to graphic physical abuse. In one sequence, a naked man wearing an athletic supporter is hit by a softball, a pogo stick, a hockey puck, and a vicious punch from a heavyweight boxer. In another scene, the team puts a queen bee and a bunch of worker bees on a stuntman’s naked private parts. In still another scene, a toy with two mechanical arms fitted with miniature boxing gloves pummels a stuntman’s testicles.
