If the sight of adult penis painted green and made up to look like Godzilla stomping through a city doesn’t sound your idea of funny, then I’d suggest giving this fourth outing for the Jackass boys a miss, cos that’s just the pre-credit sequence and from then on it’s downhill all the way, but in a good way!
I have no idea why I find penial violence so funny, but it is and watching these jackasses getting, punched, kicked, slapped, whacked, bitten, and shot (with paint balls, pucks, and baseballs) in the genitals is never anything less than hilarious, and not just the balls, the shaft is also given swift justice. I was weeping with laughter throughout this brutal onslaught, made all that more amusing by the fact the boys are now approaching middle age. And when they’re not been brutalised in the genitals, they’re also getting fired out of air cannons, thrown down insane slopes, battered by bulls and bears, blown up in porta-loos, covered in bull semen, and bees, electrocuted and just generally getting their stupid asses powned, to coin a phrase.
Of them all, the abuse meted out to Danger Ehren is simply staggering, as his three Cup Test Challenge testifies.
While neither big, nor clever, it is nevertheless bloody funny, and I was weak with laughter by the end of it and the 96 minutes just flew by. Worth seeing with an audience so you can howl together in gleeful guilty-pleasure delight.
