"Seeing Jackass Number Two with a bunch of teenagers at midnight on opening weekend left me more physically ravaged than any movie I saw during The Aughts (with the exception of Dancer in the Dark, perhaps). I didn't realize until walking out of that raucous Court Street theater in an exhausted daze that I'd been clenching my body so tightly and laughing so hard that my stomach was actually sore. It was as if I'd just emerged from a 90-minute sit-up session. What makes Jackass Number Two such an extraordinary accomplishment and a Misunderstood Gem is that its premise is inarguably moronic—dudes pulling pranks on each other and mutilating their bodies in increasingly dangerous ways—yet, at the very same time, it invents a wild new form of modern performance art. After watching Jackass: The Movie, I thought a follow-up film would be redundant and pointless. Yet in the sequel, the participants up the ante and outdo their past exploits in a manner that is truly shocking. Jackass Number Two is a deranged, screamingly funny monster". — Michael Tully, writer/editor Hammer to Nail
