Mmm... synopsis. Let's see... Well the film's worst US review states: "There's no plot here; like the MTV show that spawned it, this movie is just a progression of increasingly disgusting and/or dangerous stunts" [Chicago Tribune]. And it's best review says "There isn’t a great deal of detail in the structure, which consists entirely of a succession of unrelated skits and stunts designed to inflict maximum pain and/or humiliation on the participants" [FilmThreat.com]. This sequel, said to be their last outing, has received better reviews than the original.
Needless to say the pranks & stunts are filthier & nastier than the first. For instance there is: the "milking" & drinking of jizz from a primed stallion, fake beards being made out of genital & ass hairs, and other jocularities involving medicine balls, anti-personnel mines, and a variety of snakes. Margera’s long-suffering parents also make an appearance.

"Debased, infantile and reckless in the extreme, this compendium of body bravado and malfunction makes for some of the most fearless, liberated and cathartic comedy in modern movies..."
The New York Times"There is a point, however, at which the movie becomes simply sickening. Between the electric shocks and hot-iron branding, feats of grossness are accomplished that are so vile even the hardiest among the cast cannot suppress the upchuck..."
Seattle Post-Intelligencer"The heart of Jackass - the adolescent drive to bash body and soul into the symbolic brick wall of maturity - remains pure..."
Rolling Stone"It didn't seem possible, but Johnny Knoxville, Bam Margera, Steve-O, Chris Pontius, Wee Man and company might just have cooked up a sequel that's even wilder, funnier, extra-depraved and more gag-inducing than the seemingly incomparable "Jackass the Movie"...."
Hollywood Reporter"Comedy, like most everything else, is subjective, and this may be the greatest example out there of "getting it" or not. If you thought the first movie, the original TV show, the Three Stooges, or "Football in the Groin," was funny, chances are Jackass: Number Two is right up your alley..."
Film Threat"There's no plot here; like the MTV show that spawned it, this movie is just a progression of increasingly disgusting and/or dangerous stunts..."
