5.0 out of 5 stars More Animal Hijinks!, April 26, 2005

By 

Cubist (United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Wildboyz - The Complete Second Season (DVD)

Tired of the over-earnestness of The Crocodile Hunter and Jeff Corwin? Those crazy Wildboyz are back for a second season filled with more snake bites and animal poop jokes than you can shake a stick at. This season is a mix of countries they visited last time around with some new places too. They haven't messed around with the formula at all (if ain't broke, why fix it, right?) as Chris Pontius and Steve-O mix it up with various dangerous animals and insects while also performing all kinds of gross out stunts that usually involve both of them puking their guts out at some point.

The Florida episode is, without a doubt, the most entertaining one as the boys hook up with animal expert Manny Puig, venomous snake expert David Weathers and "movie star" Johnny Knoxville who is his typical smart-ass self. The highlight of this episode occurs when Knoxville pulls a practical joke on Steve-O, fooling him into believing that he's been mortally wounded by a lethal snake. As Knoxville is being "rushed" to the hospital, he tells Steve-O that it was all a joke.

What makes the Wildboyz work so well is that they don't take themselves too seriously. The relationship between the whiney Steve-O and the happy-go-lucky Chris works well and their dynamic is only improved when they include someone like Manny or Knoxville into the mix. This season certainly won't convert fans who didn't like the first one but those who love watching these goofy guys take the piss out of animal shows like The Crocodile Hunter will find a lot to enjoy with these episodes.

Disc one features an audio commentary on every episode by Chris, Steve-O and co-creators/producers Jeff Tremaine and Dimitry Elyashkevich. Wee-Man joins them on his episode (Kenya) and Knoxville joins them on his two (Florida and Indonesia) - not surprisingly, these are the best commentaries of the bunch. They are often chaotic affairs as everyone proceeds to make fun of Steve-O and crack jokes at what we are watching.

Disc two starts off with deleted footage from each episode that totals 40 minutes! It's really a shame some of this footage was cut, for example, in Australia Chris and Steve-O have salt water crocodiles swim between their legs and then they dive in their tank!

There is also a 20-minute collection of outtakes and bloopers that include, most interestingly, fall-out from certain segments, like just how painful the ant glove incident was for Chris and Steve-O.

"Wildboyz Unclothed," is a behind-the-scenes look at the Costa Rica episode that shows how certain segments, like Steve-O's bungee jump, came together.

"Wildboyz Encyclopedia" is the "educational" extra that takes a look at a particular animal from one of the episodes and allows you to view a clip from said segment showing the animal in action.

There is also a trivia game which tests your knowledge of Season 2 and rewards all the right answers with a previously unseen clip that maybe should have been left unseen.

"Bite List" gives a run down of how many animal bites Chris and Steve-O have received over the season, where on their body and in which country.

Finally, there is a photo gallery of most of the episodes with captions for each picture which is a nice idea.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant nature show!, November 1, 2004

This review is from: Wildboyz - The Complete First Season (DVD)

Do not watch this show if you have a weak stomach! There are numerous instances where the Wildboyz engage in antics featuring animal feces! They both get hurt quite often, but never very badly. The worst injury actually happens to their cameraman who is scratched by a Cheetah (and he needed 7 stitches). That being said, this show is hilarious! It is easily funnier than most programming out there on TV, and it does in fact have a respect for nature. If nothing else, you'll realize that there's a reason these species have survived for so long.

One thing that is also great about this set is that the episodes are consistantly good. i can't say that there is one "best" in the set, simply because they are all so strong. There is virtually no stunt repetition (unless you count the "black mamba" which is just goofy). Also worth checking out is the interaction the Wildboyz have with native peoples. Be they Zulu or Eskimo, Steve-O and Chris put on a show for the people.

The DVD has a good load of extras, with easter eggs that are actually worth finding. The extras inlcude some funny deleted bits, some funny outtakes and a surprisingly strong making-of video (along with other obligatory extras). A great plus to such a unique show.
It is such a strange show in that on the one hand they can do very disgusting and stupid things, but at the same time have a respect for nature. Animals are stupid, but so are humans. These guys push the limits and risk their lives. As Chris says in the first episode, "Its a jungle out there, and we're Tarzan."
