ANYONE
IN IT WE KNOW?
Steve-O,
Chris
Pontius
WHAT’S
IT ABOUT THEN?
Genre
defying spin on the Jackass
theme in which Chris Pontius and
Steve-O travel the worlds far
flung places (Brazil, India,
Indonesia and Australia amongst
them) in search of weird and
dangerous animals and pull of
practical jokes and stunts into
the bargain.
SO
IS IT ANY GOOD?
Jackass
opened the floodgates for puerile, big kid pranks and sickening stunts
on mainstream TV, Wildboyz takes that format out into the big wide world
and amid a flurry of fighting Komodo Dragons, wrestling bears and water
ski-ing with alligators amps up the gross out factor. Steve-O and
Pontius had been a major part of the success of Jackass so it was kinda
inevitable that they would continue once that show became too outrageous
for MTV to handle, you have to wonder about the sanity of the boys at
times, although you can’t help buy like them. The two discs in this
contain the whole second season and although it is unrated it’s
definitely not the sort of show to watch on a full stomach and
definitely not the kind of show for people who think licking an old
Hindu fellow’s foot is kind of weird. Watch out for cameo’s from
Johnny Knoxville and Wee Man but the show is Wildboyz through and
through.
ANY
SPECIAL FEATURES?
There
is a big stack of extras from a whole heap of never before seen
segments, numerous out-takes and stuff ups; A featurette Wildboyz
Unclothed (not againsurely) that takes us behind the scenes of the show; A trivia game
and encyclopedia about the show; A photo gallery, a bite list and all
the unbleeped out language you can handle. The set also features
extensive audio commentaries from the boys as well as Knoxville
and WeeMan.
If
Wildboyz was a country it would be absurdistan, go spend some time
there.
