When we last left our heroes it was 2006, the gang was performing outrageous, dangerous, clever, and all together gross stunts. It has been four years and not much has changed for our group of loveable pranksters. This is not the social network let me make that very clear right now. If you have gone to see a movie with any sort of intelligence then you have walked into the wrong movie theater. However this is not a movie that is shy in the heart department. This is a film that will have the entire audience cheering and gagging within seconds of each other.

I watched this earlier today and was very surprised at how much yelling was coming from my work mates and me. Now I can safely say that there are spoilers ahead so if you want to watch these stunts without being aware of the trials and tribulations you will need to undertake stop reading Now.

Your still here well ok here we go. I have broken the stunts into the five categories above. We will go through my favorite of each and talk about why these men on the screen are modern day gods of comedy in their own right.

We start with the Outrageous stunts of these men of steel. The one that I found to be most outrageous was Knoxville wearing a very pink shirt and a pair of roller-skates in a cattle corral. We then cut to about four bison sitting in another cage. Knoxville says without hesitation “This is Roller Buffalo.” We watch Knoxville dancing and being his old silly self and then out of nowhere he is hit by the buffalo head on and thrown at least four feet in the air. The stunt is over after that but you are left with the feeling that he won’t be feeling all that great tomorrow.

We head over to the Dangerous side of the map where we find Knoxville and the gang in the snow and Knoxville is dressed as Santa and has an elf along with him. Surprisingly it is not Weeman. The two climb a tree and the tree is then proceed to be cut down. The two fall from about forty feet and hit the snow very hard. Not a thing that takes ton of time or preparation. You do have to appreciate the sheer scale of the tree and tell me it didn’t look like a hell of thing to pull off.

Something the guys do every movie is try to freak out Bam Margera’s mom and dad. April and Phil Margera have just come into Los Angels and the two are about to check into their hotel. What they don’t know is that Chris Pontius is going to be in the room dressed as a gorilla. The two enter the room and out comes what appears to be a huge gorilla tearing up the room. The two freak out and Phil has messed himself. The mom April is screaming and just losing it. This is one of my favorite parts to the movies because these guys just like us. They love messing with their parents like all of us but they take it to such a wonderfully dark degree.

Now we arrive at the worst and somewhat best part of the film is the sheer gross out part. There are a lot of these and they span from an apple in the ass to a fart in the mouth to the moment that nearly had me throwing up in the theater. This was the moment that they did “The Sweat suit cocktail. They have the member of the gang Preston Lacy work out on a cycle and then men putting the sweat in a cup. Steve-O then drinks the sweat and I’m nearly retching thinking about the scene. This was the moment that you know a movie has an affect on you because of the fact that I will never forget that scene.

As for the 3D I will totally say that it was way better then I expected. It had some great moments and it was better then most of the 3D I have seen in awhile. I really enjoyed that and I didn’t seem to mind wearing the glasses. It seems to be 3D has reached its Zenith but if this is one of the last ones then we can say 3D went out on a good note.

Until we meet again I'm hoping you dug the post and hoping you dig a little bit past the romantic comedy section in your video store.
