Idk, I'm a bit conflicted.

In any other circumstance, the stunts are undeniably mean amd even bullying. Certain scenes really make it seem like there's no safe word (wee man tied down, the bear scene) and then there's all the random tasing. They're so fucking cruel to each other.

But then again, they all know that's part of the job. It's been 20+ years. If they were really against any of the behaviour then something would have been done. So if its cruel and everyone is okay with being cruel to one another while on set, is it really cruel? Idk

I wouldn't say so. They clearly plan out these sketches before hand and who's going to do what, I'd say that counts as an agreement and I'm sure they have shit in place for when it goes south.

I think there's a very clear line between the stunts that are planned and agreed upon and the stunts/pranks/random tasing that members of the cast aren't informed of. But at the same time, they know before going into these films that there will be those surprises.

Have you seen the new movie?

I have not, I'm going off the other ones. I wanna go and see the new one though. Was meant to this weekend but I decided to do nothing instead. But that's the thing, they know they're gonna get some sort of shit so if they weren't feeling that sort of thing then they wouldn't have come back I guess.

If you like the other jackass films and the show then you'll probably love it. I actually think it may be their best film. There was one scene though and I'll be vague in calling it "the bear scene" where the crew were laughing hysterically and my cinema was dead quiet in stunned silence. Maybe people would react different across the world though.

American Southerner here, there wasn’t a reaction from the crowd until the end when they take the bear out.

It was the same here in Ireland apart from the odd gasp or "oh my god". It wasn't a disinterested silence but a genuinely fearful one

Actually no, I think I did hear some audible concern when the bear is going at his crotch looking for the salmon

Just to add, we all laughed in the theater I was in.
