Jackass 3 - Blu-ray Review
Johnny Knoxville and company return for the third installment of their TV show spin-off, where dangerous stunts and explicit public displays rule.
The insane cast and crew have gone out of their way to entertain their target audience and succeed with flying Steve-O's. The stunt work is some of the best they've done to date with the motivation to utilize the filming of the movie with 3D High Definition cameras. Johnny Knoxville still has that childlike glee when he really gets into the crazier stuff they're attempting. Bam Margera's father Phil steals some scenes with his natural goofy charm. I went to see this film in the theaters upon release and was able to just sit back and laugh at the stupidity of it all. Now watching it at home I was able to pay more attention to the more technical stunts and not just the wild amount of three dimensional sex toys flying out from the screen. If you're not a fan of gross humor or the previous films I would suggest steering clear. Fans will be thoroughly pleased for and appreciate it for what it is and nothing more. 7/10
Jackass 3 arrives on Blu-ray with a 1080p transfer in the original aspect ratio of 1.78:1. A bright , colorful presentation that varies in quality but manages to provide a pleasing overall effort. Color saturation and the sheer amount of hues that are on display are superb. Contrast was rock solid. Fine detail was quite good with natural outdoor environments and clothing textures being the standouts here. There were instances of banding and noise and some of that could be due to the image source in some scenes. 8/10
Audio is provided by a DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track. Surrounds are almost constantly engaged, whether it is the boisterous music selections or well placed directional effects to emphasize the on screen action. Dynamics were surprisingly strong with some nice low end coming from the LFE channel. Dialogue reproduction was crisp and precise even when their yelling over the sound of a jet engine. Fans will be more than happy with a track that is more powerful and engaging than one thought a film of this sort would provide. 8/10
* The Making of Jackass 3D (28min39sec, HD) - A well produced and fun look with cast and crew discussing the process of filming the insane stunts. The utilization of 3D is also explored.
* Deleted Scenes (16min5sec, HD) - Included are the following (Blue Room Andy Bell, Snake River Weedemption, The Driving Range, Phantom Dildo, Sweatsuit Cocktail, Preston/Duck Hunting, Jet Ski 1, Pontius the Barbarian, Poocano, The Rocky, 3D Test Day)
* Outtakes (HD)
* Jackass 3D Theatrical Trailer (1min31sec, HD)
* D-Box compatibility
* DVD/Digital Copy Disc - An anaglyph 3D version of the film is included on the DVD. It is a shame that Paramount has decided for the time being not to release the full 3D version in HD. A Digital Copy is included as well for download to your PC, Mac, or portable device.
