Review: Jackass 3



Jackass 3 is back with more of the stunts and gross-out humour you've come to expect from the likes of Johnny Knoxville, Chris Pontius and Bam Margera. The 4 year gap between films mean things once again feel fresh and the break has given the crew chance to think of some inventive new stunts to fill 90 minutes of screen time.

The main twist this time around was that things were done in 3D, with many surprised by the clever ways with which they managed to use the technology. Having just watched the film on DVD I can't vouch for that myself, but with the amount of props and bodily fluids you see flying about I can guess you'd get your money's worth.

Where Jackass constantly manages to stand out from the competition is that it's always been more about silliness than stupidity, with a warmth and humour present throughout instead of it just being a collection of gross and dangerous stunts that you get from the likes of Dirty Sanchez - the closing credit montage is actually quite touching and shows how the gang and the audience have grown old together.
