Steve-O Reveals Three Jackass Stunts Too Dangerous To Release

[Animous]

Jackass stuntman Steve-O has revealed three stunts from the franchise that are too dangerous to ever see the light of day. Steve-O, real name Stephen Gilchrist Glover, has been with the Jackass show from the beginning, starting in 2000. The franchise went on to spawn six movies, including the upcoming (and delayed) Jackass Forever which reunites Steve-O with Johnny Knoxville and the Jackass gang, performing wild, obscene, dangerous, and frequently hilarious stunts and pranks. Steve-O was also part of the Wildboyz spinoff series, which ran on MTV for four seasons.

Jackass was created by Johnny Knoxville, Spike Jonze, and Jeff Tremaine, which has become a household name and often a cautionary tale when people attempt to do things they probably shouldn't. The signature guitar opening is well-known and signifies the brand on the whole. Throughout the years, the Jackass crew has pushed the limits on their stunts and pranks, sometimes ending in serious injury. Regardless of the outcome, the crew continued to up the ante, but even they have some limitations, even if they aren't imposed by themselves.

While appearing on the Hot Ones spinoff show Truth or Dab (via Uproxx), both Steve-O and Jackass regular Wee-Man revealed three stunts that have never seen the light of day on the show or in the movies. The pair says that one of the stunts was called "Box Downstairs" and involved Johnny Knoxville getting in a box filled with pillows. “[We] taped it up, rolled it down a huge flight of cement stairs, and it was violent as hell," said Steve-O. Another stunt involved Knoxville wearing a bulletproof vest and shooting himself with a .38 caliber Smith & Wesson handgun, which even the cameraman wanted nothing to do with. The last "forbidden" scene involved Knoxville getting hit by a car in the opening of the show. Here's Steve-O's recounting of what happened:

“When he said, ‘I’m Johnny Knoxville and I’m going to get hit by a car real soon.’ Car just came flying, he went through the windshield, rolled over. They asked him, ‘What were you thinking when you got hit by a car?’ And his answer was, ‘I wore two pairs of jeans so that I’d be safe.'”

Jackass was always a source of controversy since it began, carrying a disclaimer at the beginning of each episode (and film) warning viewers to not attempt the stunts they see performed. Regardless of that, many viewers did attempt stunts seen in the show, leading to injury and death in some cases, making Jackass a show that constantly popped up on the radar for censorship. The show ended after three seasons and many of the cast members returned for the films, but many suffered from drug abuse and injuries that would cause issues with production. Recently, former Jackass star Bam Margera sued Johnny Knoxville and the producers when he failed a drug test to be in Jackass Forever, which Steve-O has called absurd.

While there's always an itch to see the "hidden" content from a garden variety of shows and films, sometimes they may be best left in the vault. For Jackass, seeing as so much has already made it to the light of day that could easily be questionable in nature, there are sound arguments for and against ever seeing the locked-up footage. However, with special features and additional content being part and parcel with digital and physical media releases, it wouldn't be surprising if these lost stunts are found again and released to the public, much to their delight and disgust. Jackass Forever will crash into theaters on February 4th, 2022.
