Don't get me wrong, there is definitely an audience for Going to Hell: The Movie, but it will probably consist of people that found Jackass: The Movie too hard to follow. Personally, I enjoyed the Jackass movie and the show that spawned it. I never saw any of the spin offs, such as the Steve O or CKY videos, but I have to imagine that they're better than this. Jason Acuna, known affectionately as Weeman, was a part of the Jackass crew. Here he is the center of attention as a more or less forgettable cast of clowns try to cash in on the success of the "Hey, look at Me!" genre.

Sadly, a lot of footage on this DVD isn't even funny or amazing, unless you think that suped-up street-racers doing smoking rubber doughnuts is anything special. There's close to a dozen instances of someone's home video footage of local guys laying rubber, one even does it in about 6 inches of snow. Another difference from the Jackass vehicles is Going to Hell: The Movie's reliance on nudity. That's not to say that Jackass didn't feature nudity in some of it's segments, but there it was usually done in a self-deprecating way and was always of the male variety. Going to Hell: The Movie includes it's fair share of male nudity, a stunt called "Molotov Cock Tale" should paint an interesting picture in your mind, but it also has a lot of needless T & A footage. There are several scenes of women flashing their breasts, posing and stripping with Weeman, mud wrestling, showering and even taking a bubble bath.

Going to Hell: The Movie does have some nice music montages, with the requisite punk soundtrack provided by the band Cheapskate. These usually feature Weeman and some of the other goofballs skateboarding or hurting themselves, with the occasional boob shot or peel out thrown in for good measure. As for the pranks, while Jackass would always have the occasional flash of brilliance, the one's shown here are stale and sometimes even disturbing. A good example of this is taking a gag from Jackass: The Movie, where a guy "tries out" a toilet in a plumbing store, exiting right by a conveniently located sign reading "No Dumping". In Going to Hell: The Movie, a guy just outright takes a dump in front of a "No Dumping" sign, but then after said Dump has been evacuated, the tape rewinds so it appears that the Dump is going back to where it originated. Trust me, it isn't even half as funny as I made it sound.

The DVD:

Picture: The video is edited together from various quality video recordings and is presented in a 4:3 aspect ratio. As a result of so many types of footage being used here, the quality varies greatly from decent digital video to very grainy and poor VHS recordings.

Audio: This DVD features a 2 CH Stereo tracks, which sounds all right most of the time, but improves during the many music montages.

Conclusion: While I enjoyed Weeman's antics along with the rest of the Jackass crew, his personality was kept in check by the rest of the guy's. Here, as the focal point for this smorgasbord of filth, he comes across as crass and unlikable. A lack of great tricks, funny pranks or amazing footage make this DVD an easy one to avoid. Those of you interested solely in the T & A aspects here, will probably find the rest of the disc somewhat amusing, but I assure you that the replay value of this 51 minute "movie" is non-existent.
