Lily Tomlin flew so Johnny Knoxville could soar, er, roll?
Jackass began life as an MTV prank show in the early 2000s and featured nine friends performing stunts and pranks on each other and the public. The show was created by its star Johnny Knoxville along with Jeff Tremaine and Being John Malkovich director Spike Jonze. After the show's initial success, they branched off into multiple spin-offs including a series of four movies.
The film is a fun and clever commentary on the belittled feeling being relegated to such a role can play on a person, much in the same way as 2020's The Invisible Man adapted its original 1933 source material. Both films take classic sci-fi B-movie horror IP and create a contemporary commentary of sexism that's subtly veiled with fun and excitement.
The stunt this inspired saw the entire Jackass crew riding on the cart as it appears through a cloud of smoke in slow motion. Carl Orff's "O Fortuna" movement from his 1930s cantata Carmina Burana plays. From there, the camera cuts between the different Jackasses, introducing them one by one. As they progress downhill, they come under fire from various explosives and cement bricks directed at their heads.
In 2022, following the release of the fourth Jackass movie, Jackass Forever, Collider's Ross Bomaine ranked the best Jackass movie stunts, awarding this particular scene the number 8 spot. He sums it up perfectly with his description of why it deserves such praise:
