“There will be pain,” the tag-line for the two “Saw” films, is a more appropriate tag-line for the “Jackass” movies. The sequel to “Jackass The Movie” has more extreme violence, extreme vulgarity and objects inserted into people’s bodies. There is more vomiting, farting, defecating and bleeding than most people will ever see in their life.

The Jackass crew, lead by Johnny Knoxville, thinks up the most insane, suicidal, self-destructive stunts the MPAA would let by with an “R” rating. That said, the film almost received an NC-17 because of what Chris Pontius does with horse excrement.

Like the first film, “Jackass Number Two” begins by introducing the whole crew in a perilous situation. This time they are chased by a stampede of bulls down a suburban street. It gets funnier and more dangerous from there.

Only the Jackass crew would think of attaching a stuffed animal to a certain male body part while teasing a snake. Steve-O continues to cement his legend as the most suicidal of the group when he fishhooks his own face and then lets Pontius use him as bait to catch a hammerhead shark.

Bam Margera lets Ryan Dunn brand him with a hot metal iron. Ehren McGhehey uses a doll-house bathroom as a toilet. Weeman bungee jumps while only attached to Preston Lacy. Knoxville almost dies when the mini rocket he is strapped to explodes, missing his torso by inches. After acknowledging the near-death experience, he of course gets right back on and tries the stunt again.

Tony Hawk, Spike Jonze, Luke Wilson, Willie Garson (Stanford from “Sex and the City”), Three 6 Mafia and John Waters all make appearances. Jonze is particularly memorable when he dresses as a scantily clad old woman, complete with sagging breasts that pop out in front of random people.

There are pranks-a-plenty in the sequel. Margera, who is terrified of snakes, begins crying when his friends lock him in a small trailer and then toss in a king cobra. Later Bam performs the “switcharoo” on his mom when Preston replaces Bam’s father in bed next to her while she’s asleep. Her reaction is priceless. The king of all pranks though, which alone is worth the price of admission, is the trick the group plays on Dave Englund involving a fake bomb, a fake gun, pubic hair and Jay Chandrasekhar from the Broken Lizard group.

There’s no plot, but who cares. Each stunt is better than the one before it and your stomach will hurt from laughing so hard. This is one of the funniest movies of the year.
