Oh Know, Jackass????

[Racerbvd]

Well, I have trouble sleeping, and lately have been watching Jack Ass on MTV, now I know that I'm sick, I never watched it until last month
Please tell me there is a cure

[Hugh R]

Check the end credits, I was the Safety Consultant on the first JackAss-The Movie

People ask me how I could have worked on that and I say you should see the "treatments" that we nixed.

In one, they wanted to take a pair of pliers and pull up the skin of the forearm of of of them and use a 9mm to shoot off a small tattoo.

In another treatment they wanted to strip Johnny Knoxville down and spray him with the urine of a female doe in heat and put him in a corral with a couple of buck deers and "see what happens". I said what about the hooves and antlers, which they'd never thought of. Also, I said you're going to be in a corral with a crazed muscular animal and Johnny said "Enough about me, what about the Buck". I then said what are you going to do if the buck "Plugs in" and Johnny said "Those cameras better be rolling".


a bunch of seriously nice guys though.

I was volunteering for the National Park Service when they wanted to film one of those movies.. One of the liaisons for the NPS came in where I was working and asked if anyone knew of the show- she didn't. I forget what animals JA wanted to go up against, but I advised the ranger that it would be a terrible idea, especially since the NPS also catered to kids and that the stunt would probably end up with some kids emulating.

I'm jealous...I love Jackass. Never truly emulated any of their stuff, but they had a significant influence on the mischief that my friends and I caused in high school.

You were the safety consultant and got a screen credit for it on Jackass the Movie.


That is the funniest thing anybody here has ever said on this site, probably ever will too.

Hey Hugh, isn't being the "safety consultant" on a Jackass film sort of an oxymoron ?? LOL

Good stuff, a skateboarder buddy of mine in college had all the videos. I like the one where they max out the rental car insurance, jump it off of stuff, and eventually "accidentally" set it on fire.

[Hugh R]

Like I said, read the kind of stuff we DIDN'T let them do!!!

Yeah, I thought about not taking the job, but what the heck, everyone has to do something once that is a potential career ender. Besides, the worst accident we had was a sprained wrist.

[juanbenae]

love the show and hugh's story.

What about knoxville almost dying when they rolled the golf cart? Or his concussion from the boxing match with Butterbean?

[dentist90]

So what is the criterium for a Jackass safety consultant? Actor will 1)certainly die, 2) might die or 3) probably won't die, and only #2 and #3 are attempted? I guess there should be at least one sober adult around when they come up with stunts!

[fastfredracing]

There is no cure. There is a little jack ass in all of us. Funny stuff.

[Hugh R]

Knoxville wasn't supposed to do that with the golf cart. We he did we all said WTF? What a Jackass.

A lot of the things, like boxing with Butterball they did in Pennsylvania and they wouldn't pay to take me there. Having me there was a condition of their insurance carrier.

Other things we wouldn't let them do 1) stick there head up the butt of an elephant, 2) Actually play with venomous snakes, 3) Jump out of an airplane and try and "catch" another jumper who actually had a parachute on.

So Hugh, I'm just watching Mythbusters and thinking that would be an interesting show in need of a safety consultant from time to time.. ever work with those guys?

I'm sorry, you couldn't get me to do that
