Jackass 3D doesn't need a 5000 word review, especially one with spoilers. So from a 10-year Jackass fan, here are three simple reasons why you should watch this movie.
1. You will laugh until your face hurts.
2. 3D is a surprising fit for stunts and pranks that involve everything from paintballs to body fluids.
3. You know what type of movie it's NOT. Which means you don't have to worry about acting quality, plot holes, confusing endings.
That's honestly all you need to know. If you enjoy watching pranks, dangerous stunts and epic fails on Youtube like I do, treat yourself to Jackass 3D.

Way to go and confuse the public again. If you have a fancy new BluRay 3D setup this will NOT PLAY. It is old analog 3DBest Deals for Jackass 3 (Single-Disc Edition) (2010)
I just got back from seeing Jackass 3D, and I must say, Knoxville and crew are back.I'll start off by saying that I wasn't a fan of Jackass before I saw Jackass: Number Two. My cousins and their friends tempted me, so I sat down and watched it with them... and within seconds I was on the floor, crying from laughing so hard. I was instantly a fan, and days after, I rented the first Jackass and laughed just as hard.
Today I went and saw the third strike at the theaters, and in Real D 3D. Of course I got hassled for my ID, 3 times actually, as it's R here in Canada meaning admittance restricted to people 18 and over. Apparently they had a real sneaking problem!!
That said, I had a total blast with this movie. If you just switch your brain off at the door, you'll laugh to the point where you're croaking!!!! There is not a single unfunny moment in the movie.
The stunts are outrageous, grosser than ever, and out there as hell. All stops imaginable are pulled out. Of course if you are faint hearted or squeamish you will want to avoid this film at all costs as it contains some truly disgusting stuff!!! Without a doubt the funniest stunt is "Electric Avenue", a stunt done in the style of a jailbreak, where the crew try to get through a hallway with beams in the middle, tires on the ground, and dangerously high-volt tasers dangling from the ceiling!!! Of course, as stated above it is absolutely NOT for kiddies under 18 or the faint of heart. This got its R here in Alberta for a good reason. The "Sweatsuit cocktail" scene alone pretty much solidifies that right there.
The 3D is great!!!! Before the movie is a nice little short from Beavis and Butthead explaining the 3D technology, which is truly hilarious. The 3D just ADDS to the ridiculousness, not only is it more lifelike, but there are a few startling "pop out" moments too and it's just hilarious!!!! They take full advantage of the 3D and therefore it's totally worth it.
In short, It did kinda make me sad that this may be the last Jackass. Hopefully it isn't, because they may be getting old but they certainly aren't declining in quality. Definitely as good as Jackass: Number Two, check it out!!
Honest reviews on Jackass 3 (Single-Disc Edition) (2010)
As the great Mike Patton once sang: "It's always funny until someone gets hurt, and then it's just hilarious!" These appear to be words to live by for the "Jackass" crew, who are back for a third round of shenanigans in "Jackass 3D." The guys that hurt themselves for laughs so you don't have to are back in full form and if you think age has tempered their appetite for danger and potty-humor, then you are sorely mistaken.Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O, Bam Margera, Ryan Dunn, Wee Man, Preston Lacy, Chris Pontius, Dave England, Ehren McGhehey -all the names and faces you've come to know over the years -make their return (with a few stragglers left behind, naturally) to the feature-length film format to abuse 3D technology in ways that would infuriate James Cameron. Flying feces? Check. Unnecessarily exposed male genitalia? Check. The ever-reliable vomiting of a now-sober Steve-O? You bet. If you thought the envelope had been pushed as far as it would go before, think again. This "Jackass" is a full three dimensions of dumb and disgusting.
Tastelessness aside, there's something both cinematic and slightly sentimental about this installment. Maybe it's all the slow-motion shots and Rocky references, but for the first time it appears as if director Jeff Tremaine is taking his craft a bit more seriously. The over-the-top opening and closing of the movie are nothing short of epic (at least by MTV standards) and if anything, it's the finest looking "Jackass" to date. Likewise, the cast seems to be stepping it up a notch; not only are they going to the extreme here, but they seem to be enjoying it more than ever. The film just so happens to mark the tenth-year anniversary of the franchise, so it's no coincidence that the sense of camaraderie is tighter than before. For the first time, it appears as though the guys are having as much fun laughing at themselves as we are.
There are plenty of memorable stunts -from an updated porto-potty gag dubbed "The Poo-Cocktail Supreme" to a stinker of a man-made volcano and a scene involving bees that rivals the hilariousness of Nic Cage in the infamous The Wicker Man remake -and just as many laughs to go around. Cameos from the likes of Sean William Scott, Weezer, Rip Taylor, and Beavis and Butt-Head are along for the ride, but the true stars remain the main crew and their non-stop disregard for their own well-being. Dumb and reckless, yet unrelentingly amusing, this third installment in the unlikely franchise is guaranteed to have you giggling mindlessly while simultaneously squirming in your seat.

First, I wanted to say I've seen all the episodes of the old series and both the first and second movies, and now this, so I have a pretty good baseline by which to evaluate this.First, the content list.
1) The Blu-Ray, which contains both the theatrical release and the director's cut, with no extras. ***CORRECTION: The Blu-Ray contains multiple deleted scenes and outtakes, some funny and others just so so.
2) The regular DVD, which contains the theatrical release only, with no extras.
3) A digital copy of the movie, which you unlock using the enclosed code. (you'll need at least version 11 of MS Media Player for this).
4) Two sets of 3D glasses, the old style with red and blue lenses.
I first viewed the regular DVD, and I was a bit taken aback to see that it only contains the movie in analglyph (old style 3D), with no way to switch over to regular 2D.
That means none of the modern 3D effects, folks.
We're talking 1950s-era technology here.
I then watched the director's cut version on the Blu-Ray, which was only in 2D, as is the theatrical release available on the same disk.
Now for the movie itself.
Some of the stunts were really amusing, some were only mildly so, and others were either just plain stupid (even by Jackass standards), or too disgusting for even someone of my sort with a cast iron stomach.
I'll just do a stunt-by-stunt rundown of my thoughts.
1) Opening credits actually liked this quite a lot, with the enhanced "Phantom Camera" slow-mo effects.
2) High Five Very simple, but quite amusing, especially how they did Bam.
3) The Jet Ski Okay, but looked more painful than funny.
4) Tee Ball Steve-O takes the obligatory nut shot from a baseball attached to a swinging arm...more painful than funny.
5) The Bungee Boogie Okay, this was more like it. Not very fancy, but some surprisingly good execution on the stunt, and some good laughs.
6) The Rocky Yes, painful, but the phantom camera showed the facial contortions in all their comedic glory.
7) Beehive Tetherball More like the Jackass we all know and love. Pain mixed with some laughs. Loved Dave's screams of agony.
8) Jet Airplane Really liked the old Maxell commercial tribute at the very beginning. Really funny and even a bit dangerous.
9) Roller-skate Buffalo Yes, pointless and painful, but still pretty funny concept. Really liked Knoxville's antics leading up to the inevitable pummeling from a young bison. Roger Miller would have appreciated how his classic song was used for this.
10) Toy Train Eruption Not much more to say here but YUCK! Anyone remembering Dave's scatological stunts in the first two movies won't be much surprised by this one.
11) Midgets in a Bar Fight More classic Jackass tomfoolery. Weeman pulls this off quite well, with a little help from his friends. Especially liked the "cops" and "paramedics" showing up.
12) Electric Avenue Great stuff here. Very painful, but definitely more classic Jackass.
13) The Field Goal Preston takes yet another for the team. Very low tech, but just okay humor-wise, and more painful than anything else.
14) Super Mighty Glue Low tech, but more like the old style Jackass stunts. Pretty funny.
15) Dildo Gun Only a guy could find this funny, but even my wife laughed at this one. Great use of the phantom camera on the "projectile."
16) Buy a Scooter Saw this one coming a mile away. Obviously a setup, since the window was clearly made of sugar glass.
17) Pontius the Barbarian Good one. Two Emperor scorpions do battle with Pontius's chin, 'nuff said.
18) Sweat Suit Cocktail Yuck! Even *I* had a tough time watching this through the conclusion. This is one of the reasons Steve-O gets the big bucks.
19) The Christmas Tree The Dudesons make an appearance for this. Pretty funny, but more dangerous and painful than anything else.
20) Pin the Tail on the Donkey Okay, had to laugh at this one. Danger Ehren's leg shaking made this particularly funny.
21) Rocky 2 Same comments as for the first installment of this.
22) The Blind Side VERY low tech, and pointless, unless you just like seeing Knoxville getting laid out.
23) Bad Dog Whiskey Tango Foxtrot? Very low tech, very painful, and very pointless.
24) Helicockter Pointless, but somewhat funny. Certainly no highlight.
25) Snake River Redemption Great stuff. Poignant watching the now deceased Ryan Dunn land the jump.
26) Apple of my Ass Pretty pointless. Just more of Preston humiliating himself.
27) Duck Hunting Really liked this one, especially Dunn's cartwheeling.
28) Really Bad Grandpa Pretty funny, but nowhere near as funny as the original "Bad Grandpa" in the second movie. The young woman they used in this is quite attractive, even though they used makeup to create the illusion of her being much younger than she actually is.
29) The Ram Jam Not much happening except for a pugnacious ram slamming the daylights out of Ryan carrying a tuba. Still, pretty amusing overall.
30) Golf Ball Racquetball Ouch! Nothing else to say.
31) Lamborghini Tooth Pull Danger Ehren endures some excruciating pain. Pretty funny.
32) Penis Peeing Camera Not very funny, just disgusting. The only thing moderately funny is when you realize what that object is to the immediate left of the camera's field of view.
33) Gorilla in the Hotel Room Just not buying that April and Phil didn't know right away that this was Chris in a suit instead of a real ape.
34) The Invisible Man Pretty funny, especially watching Knoxville blend into the background that matches his suit.
35) Snake Trap Bam just gets angry, and that's about it. Nowhere near as funny as the King cobra stunt in the second movie.
36) Penis Baseball What else did anyone expect Pontius to do but go completely naked once again?
37) Will the Farter Laughed really hard at this. Crude, yes, but REALLY funny.
38) Poo Cocktail Supreme Just too disgusting, period.
Having watched all three movies, I can say without qualification that the second movie is by far the funniest, even if it has what I consider the most disgusting bits of all, Dave and Bam eating horse apples and the bit with Chris and the stallion.
The first movie comes in second, with the movie being reviewed here coming in a distant third.
Also, unlike with the first two movies, you get no commentary track, which I often find this nearly as funny as the regular movie audio.
You do get a few deleted scenes/outtakes, and some of those are pretty funny, while others were little more than filler.
I should also warn those of you with young kids that there are at least two bits with complete nudity and (less important) some very foul language.
