Jackass Number Two is the sequel to the 2002 comedy film, Jackass: The Movie. The entire main cast of the original came back to do the movie, including Johnny Knoxville, Bam Margera, Ryan Dunn, Chris Pontius, Steve-O, Dave England, Ehren McGhehey, Preston Lacy, and Jason "Wee-Man" Acuña. All of the semi-regular cast members returned as well. Shooting began in January 2006. The release date for the film was September 22, 2006. The film also includes cameos by Luke Wilson, Willie Garson, Mark Zupan (Murderball), Spike Jonze and cult film directors John Waters (A Dirty Shame), Jay Chandrasekhar (Super Troopers) and Mike Judge (Beavis and Butt-Head). Professional BMX rider Mat Hoffman and professional skater Tony Hawk both performed stunts. Rap group Three 6 Mafia also appears, as well as HIM singer Ville Valo, with Kat Von D, as well as NFL star Jason Taylor. Fans of the series saw cast members shooting in various states in America, but the Jackass cast refused to divulge where they were filming, out of fear of fans interfering with the filming process. They have also filmed in India, Australia, and Moscow. A few insights were leaked prior to the movie's release by Steve-O and Bam Margera via Radio Bam and Loveline. Other shootings were Bull Shoals, Arkansas; Key West, Florida; Los Angeles, California; Miami, Florida; New Orleans, Louisiana; and West Chester, Pennsylvania. On June 15, 2006, Yahoo! released the first official teaser for the movie[1]. The stunts in the trailer included Knoxville riding a "rocket bike" off a ramp and a blindfolded Knoxville being rammed by a yak.
