Quartile rating: 6/10 · 1 rating
Through outrageous, never-before-seen footage, witness the making of the Jackass crew's last go at wild stunts.
Jackass 4.5 is essentially a supplemental release to Jackass Forever, compiling outtakes, behind-the-scenes footage, and unused stunts. As a companion piece it offers fans more of the same anarchic spirit, but it is inherently derivative of its parent film and the long-running franchise formula. Plot is essentially nonexistent — it's a loose assemblage of bits. Acting is irrelevant in the traditional sense though the crew's natural chemistry and personalities carry charm. Cinematography is functional documentary-style work, nothing cinematic. Novelty is low as this is a by-the-numbers bonus-content release recycling the established Jackass format. The ending offers no real resolution. It's entertaining for fans but offers little that distinguishes it beyond what the franchise has always done.
