On this day in 2006, Jackass Number Two hit theaters, marking another unforgettable chapter in the outrageous franchise that brought us a mix of pain, pranks, and pure chaos. Directed by Jeff Tremaine and produced by Johnny Knoxville, Spike Jonze, and the infamous Jackass crew, the film pushed the boundaries of stunt-based comedy, offering fans more cringe-worthy and laugh-out-loud moments than ever before.
Following the success of the original Jackass movie, Jackass Number Two turned up the intensity, with even more daring stunts and dangerous pranks. Knoxville, Bam Margera, Steve-O, Chris Pontius, and the rest of the team subjected themselves to absurd levels of discomfort and risk, delivering some of the most iconic and painful sequences in the series. Who could forget the “Toro Totter” or Steve-O’s infamous encounter with a leech? Each stunt pushed the limits of what was deemed watchable while maintaining the franchise’s signature, unapologetic sense of humor.
The film wasn’t just a collection of reckless stunts; it represented a moment in pop culture where boundary-pushing comedy was in its prime. Jackass Number Two grossed over $84 million worldwide, proving there was an eager audience ready to witness the crew’s extreme antics.
