Jackass 2.5 is nothing more than a glorified dvd bonus feature that was released straight to dvd exactly one year after Jackass Number Two’s dvd release. The film is comprised of deleted material from the second film with interviews from the cast interspersed throughout making the feature a bit more like a documentary than the usual compilation of stunt footage, but thankfully the guys are pretty interesting to listen to. There was two movies worth of segments filmed for Jackass Number Two, and about 90% of the unused bits ended up on the extra features sections of that movie’s dvd. Almost all of that footage was as funny and well done as the footage that made it in the film, but most of what is shown in Jackass 2.5 are failed stunts or stuff that wasn’t noteworthy to begin with. There’s some pretty good stunts here like Bam’s ass kite, the obstacle course race and the gang riding mini bikes through a grocery store, but most of the stuff here is fairly mediocre and forgettable and of course Dave England has to keep taking a shit on camera much to the disgust of everyone. I thought Jackass 2.5 was pretty good. It’s not as incredible of a comedy outing as its theatrical counterparts, but there is enough funny material in the film's brief run-time to give it a look.
