Jackass 4.5

I see the .5 films in the jackass series as a fun feature length behind the scenes. But this felt like another full jackass film! While there are more failed ideas and behind the scenes chat, I'm surprised at how many stunts that are better than the ones in Jackass Forever here in 4.5.

The new cast felt a bit restricted before but this really did feel like everyone at their A Game.

If this is where the series ends I'm happy, because not only did they make a great 4th film but they also managed to make the best .5 film in the franchise too. Great stuff!

I would love to see a Jackass Forever directors cut with all the things from 4 and 4.5 together. Because the quality of stunts and pranks here are on par with the main instalment. Unlike say 2.5 which did feel like the deleted segments of Jackass Number Two, 4.5 is a solid entry and I'm worried not enough people will see it. Especially after how popular Jackass Forever was.

This felt like old school jackass. Flowed alot smoother than the actual movie, the introduction to the new cast went a bit deeper and felt like we actually got to know them a bit better.

Be warned, there is a lot more butt stuff in this movie and personally the only time I have ever retched watching a jackass movie is from watching a certian sushi stunt in this one.

Very funny, strangely heartfelt, exciting to see where the new cast take it from here with new TV show announced.

Peace.

In some ways, I kind of prefer these Jackass.5 movies to the actual films. The behind-the-scenes, talking-head interview style enhances the documentary leanings of the franchise in super fun & fascinating ways. You get a better idea of how insane it is to make these movies & the tole it takes on the cast & crew. Dark Shark is solidified as king of this production.

I wasn't a fan of the theatrical release of jackass forever, I didn't really like the stunts etc and wasn't overly keen on the newbies. I thought this was quite entertaining and enjoyed it more than the actual film.

So many good stunts that had me laughing out loud. Commentary added some fun backstory on the stunts and how the movie came to be made. The bouncy house blowing up? Awesome.
