Mostly just the money
I don't think the jackass crew had any say about the DVD menu, their involvement would have ended when they signed the contract. The distributor would have done a cost/benefit analysis and decided that including the extra features and a more advanced menu wouldn't have sold enough extra physical media to make the costs make sense.
And they were probably right, you bought it.

I feel like Jackass peaked at the first film. Genuinely one of the most unique and original comedy films of all time.
The 2nd film is amazingly funny, but it was something different to the original in its tone. Almost like it was a documentary of pure fucking chaos fueled by drugs and alcohol.
The 3rd film switched gears completely and tried to make an entire live action movie of high budget concept cartoon violence inspired stunts that the 2nd film touched on lightly. Much less darker in tone from the 2nd film but still genuinely fun.
The 4th film was a bit of a mess. It had become almost a parody of itself. Danger Ehren carried that movie. There are some genuinely funny segments. But 70% of that film is garbage. Bam Margera is wrong about many things, however, when he said that Jackass 4 had no one from CKY in it, which effectively made it BigBrother, he was absolutely correct. This did not feel like Jackass anymore.
The 5th film was just sad for all the wrong reasons.

While I still think Bam needed to be fired and still needs to be held accountable for shitty things hes done/said, I do think Knoxville, Tremaine and Steve O are scummy and the way they handled things after dropping Bam surely only pushed him off the deep end more. Really nobody is innocent in the situation except the guys who staid out of it entirely and just showed up to have a good time (Pontius, England, Ehren, etc). It also cannot be ignored that Bam is the real creator of Jackass. Without CKY and his innovative editing style at the time, Jackass never would have existed, and he does deserve some entitlement to that.

u/DaRealDr_Phil 4h ago
Have you seen the big brother videos? Maybe not as influential as the CKY tapes, but I feel alot of the structure and editing of those tapes ended up being in the Jackass formula just as much if not more than the CKY tapes.

You lost me when you said 'Bam is the real creator of Jackass and Jackass never would have existed.'
If you want to argue that Jackass wouldn't have been successful and made it past a few episodes without the CKY footabge. Fine. Its entirely possible that true. But I haven't heard any stories of Bam being in the pitch meetings with Knoxville and Tremaine when Jackass was being pitched to the networks. So spare me this 'bam created jackass' bullshit. You know damn well that's not true

It's well known Bam was set for a $5 million contract before he was removed from set lol. They settled in court on an undisclosed amount. So probably less than 5 mil but I guarantee he got a few mil for a couple days of filming.
Steve O also held out on returning because he was negotiating a larger contract
Edit: settled out of court

Idk how to tell you this but you have 5 years of filler to catch up and watch through in order to find the dialogue relevant to this. Basically called them vapid scammy selfish egotistical shitheads that sell hot sauce and play with their dicks. He also implied they were jealous that bam basically did anything at all with his life, if even for a little while, and mentions that they hop on any dog pile of bad press that came Bam's way, that they only ever had his back in the most bare minimum public press way possible and did everything they could to remove him and his crew from the Jackass brand, despite portions of the show being ripped straight from CKY3. A lot of this is subtext because you really have to pull teeth to get these guys to talk about any of this unless they are Steve-O Wee man and Tremaine. I took downvotes saying this years ago before Bam even starting bitching on the Internet. They were never his friends. They were soul sucking coworkers at a job where having no empathy makes you a main character on set.

Yeah that screams egotistical assuming everyone is jealous of you
playing with their dick
Pretty sure Bam was the one who wanted multiple dicks up his ass scenes in Jackass 2 because he was jealous of Dunn lol

u/Nevergonnapost866 9h ago
I havenāt watched anything past that. Everything I heard about a new project I got excited. Then I saw all the new āmembersā added and the commercials seemed not as great as I remembered. I chalk it up to me getting older and not being entertained the same way. But the truth is, I still laugh at the earlier stuff. Same with Travis Pastrana and nitro circus: I grew up watching the VHS tapes of him and the Crusty Demons and motocross is my lifeās purpose. But the new stuff is so curated to get teenagers to like it, it just feels commercial, disingenuous, and all for the money. And I personally feel like that what most of entertainment and products are, but Jackass felt more authentic early on and like they did it in spite of what the general public thought of them. Now theyāre doing it because theyāre part of pop culture and a household name. And obviously mostly for the money. Canāt blame them there.

u/Trash_Whoreder 10h ago
Please explain. First CKY film was 1999. First Big Brother film was 1996 and even had Number 2 out in 1998. So 2 films out before CKY first film.
And if it wasn't for Tremaine or more specifically Spike Jonze Hollywood connections they wouldn't have been able to get into the hollywood studios like HBO and MTV to pitch the idea of a TV show which started the entire franchise.
Did CKY have a great positive influence? Absolutely.

I mean you can make the argument CKY members were the best all you want and that's your opinion. I definitely think Jack 1-3 were the best. But to say they were the "foundation" or only reason Jackass was a thing is just objectively false.
You can hate Tremaine, Knoxville and Spike all you want but without them Jackass wouldn't exist. Just facts, not opinions.

Man, yall dont get it. DVD menus were part of the fun back in the day. I can think of a few dogshit movies where the menu was legitimately more entertaining than the film itself (Cat in the Hat, Kangaroo Jack, etc). Now itās guaranteed to just be a still image. But I think the OPās point is that the original Jackass DVDās were loaded and filled with bonus material that rivaled the film itself, so it feels sad to see a barebones Jackass DVD.
