Johnny Knoxville isn't exactly known for cultivating high-brow humor with his MTV prankfests, so it's a nice surprise to find that the soundtrack to his equally outrageous Jackass movie doesn't rely on simplistic stupidity. Instead, the compilation plucks less-mainstream rock and punk speedballs that encourage headbanging and slam dancing with actual finesse. The Jackass theme song, twanged by '80s underground rockers Minutemen, and howling chestnuts from late '70s Scottish punks the Rezillos and Danzig's schlock-horror Misfits are intense but never banal. Modern cuts--a slash-and-burn stoner rock dirge from CKY; taut, sassy girl rock by Sahara Hotnights; and Detroit Cobras' sleazy melding of garage rock and twist-style 1950s rock--are just as worthy. The series' sense of humor even kicks in with Sir Mix-a-Lot's rap ode to the derriere and Mr. Party Hard himself, Andrew W.K., whose guttural grunts and growls contrast cheekily with his cheery piano plunks. A few shaky stumblers aside, namely the Roger Alan Wade acoustic number, Jackass is much more intelligent than one would expect--and an excellent and eclectic soundtrack to boot. --Annie Zaleski

5.0 out of 5 stars If you're gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough, October 18, 2002

By	Stephen Harvey "Irving Zissman" (Mansfield, Ohio United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Just went out and bought the CD today (along with bonus DVD) and frankly, it rocks. The CD has a nice mix of tunes, ranging from CKY, to Slayer, to the Smut Peddlers to even a little diddy by Roger Alan Wade called 'If You're Gonna Be Dumb'

Jackass is low brow humor...but so what? If you don't like it, then don't go see it. Simple as that. Don't sit around and whine and complain about how stupid it is. I enjoy it. It's funny. It's the bomb diggity and so is the soundtrack.

The DVD is pretty cool too, containing both trailers, a bunch of short previews for the movie (why is it that Ryan Dunn has all of the really bad stuff happen to him?), as well as a special Party Boy video, a CKY music video and the video for Andrew WK's 'She is Beautiful'

I once read a review of the Jackass movie in which someone summed the movie up like this....

"Undeniably, this is terribly crude material, and could very well signal the end of humanity as we know it. But it's funny, in that classic `watch man fall down and go boom' way that's been apart of cinema ever since Laurel met Hardy. You want substance? That's what art-houses are for. `Jackass' is just a rollicking good time for those prepared for what they are about to embark on."

So all in all, buy the CD and let it hold you when you're not watching the movie. Go now. I'm serious. Go buy it before I tell your Mom. She'll be real mad. She can get like that.

P.S - After 'You Gotta Be Tough' is done playing, wait a bit for a special bonus track...

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best soundtracks out there., September 27, 2003

By	NickNolan (New Zealand) - See all my reviews

This is a must have. Whether you've seen the movie or show or not. I coulden't imagine this soundtrack being any better. It has most of the music from the movie and a bonus dvd. Great album for parties and stuff. It also has some of the best bands on this compilation such as CKY, Ramones, Sahara Hotnights, Smut Peddlers, Misfits, Slayer and many more. Featuring hits like "Flesh Into Gear", "Baby Got Back", "If your gonna be dumb" and so much more. The bonus dvd includes, music videos: "Flesh Into Gear" by CKY, "She Is Beautiful" by Andrew W.K. and and Party Boy Music video. It also includes Jackass The Movie previews and trailers and Jackass swag. This is a great album with classic hits. Buy it today.
