In the interview, Steve-O and Smith dug into Steve-O’s goal of being “more ambitious” as time goes on, but Steve-O explained that “Jackass” had a limit of one-upsmanship:
“With ‘Jackass,’ I don’t think ‘to keep topping yourself’ has ever been a thing. I don’t think that ‘Jackass’ will ever top the second movie, ‘Jackass Number Two.’ With ‘Jackass,’ each film had a different vibe. Each movie was different. If it was a question of outdoing and raising the bar with ‘Jackass,’ then I’d say we’d be dead.”
“Jackass Number Two,” the second theatrical release, sees the “Jackass” guys refining their comedy based on the lessons of the first film and goes bigger and sillier than “Jackass: The Movie.” Slightly more convoluted bits like “Beehive Limo” and the gag-within-a-gag of “Terror Taxi” are perfect for a movie-length “Jackass” adventure, and there are still tons of hilarious quick bits that feel delightfully juvenile but never mean. There is one bit in the first film that Steve-O famously felt was too much, however, though things may have changed over time.
