My point is that Bam didn't have to partake in as many Brutal stunts in Jackass 2 as he did. He would have earned the exact same amount by just fucking with his parents and skating around, pretty much like he did in the first film.
The fact that he chose to do some of the most fucked up stunts regardless garners respect, IMO.

lol I love the bit where bam climbs up the ladder because hes meant to be locked out of there then theres a camera shot from in there

in that shot, that lens was fucking HUGE. I swear that had to be at least 8 inches wide.

I could just sit on my ass and do nothing and go to school but I choose to do stunts (most more fucked up then jackass) for free. I garner way more respect so start kissing my ass.

Stand in front of a riot grenade, put your hand in a wolf trap and I'll respect you
Mako, it may not be brutal by HGF standards, but to the demographic that jackass 2 was aimed at, Ie: Mtv kids, who aren't familiar with the harder end of the spectrum, it would seem quite brutal. And I for one thought it was cool that he shied away from fucking with his parents and actually participated in the more fucked up stunts.
Granted the golden dildo was pretty gay, but when Bam steps up to take over a stunt steve-o backs out of, that shows balls that I didn't think were present myself.
I'm faaar from a Bamtard, but I do give respect where respect is due

Lets see Bam staple 4 fire crackers to his chest then light them off, then relize the guy didn't film it and do it again.
Or staple his nut sack to a table, then find out the guy didn't film it and do it again then find out that guy didn't film it either then do it again for a third time.
Or cut his tongue open till it's a gash then split it back open when it barley heals and rub salt then lemon into it.
Sew his lips shut with needle and thread.
When he does any of that shit I'll respect him as the most "hardcore stunt man" those riot grenade balls were made to be non lethal, there are major arteries in your tongue that can be severed and you would die from bleeding.
Keep your retarded comments to yourself, the rest are alright the retarded ones are the ones that annoy me.

I know you do hardcore stunts FMS, you don't have to remind me.
I never implied that Bam was a hardcore stuntman, or indeed even the best member of Jackass. All I said was that he stepped it up when he didn't have to. He would have got $2 million just sitting on his ass.
Of course he's not GNARLY, he's a skater who occasionally dabbles in stunts.

its gone from stating bam is better than anyone here at stunts to saying he isnt better than the hardcore stuntmen of hgf but he was good in jackass 2. I doubt he would of got payed 2mill if he didnt do anything. when your in a crew your not going to let one of the crew back out of all his stunts and still get the same paycheck.

I love the way you guys argue with Sean over something that I said, as if we're the same person or whatever.
Sean basically said that Bam upped the ante when he didn't have to. Which he did. I honestly believe he would've got paid the same if he did shit stunts. Whether or not you do is your opinion and you're entitled to it. Can we drop it now?
Listen, I'm the one who said Bam was a better stuntman than everyone here (which I admit was an exaggeration....but he is better than MOST people- like 90%+). I never once mentioned the word 'hardcore' either.
If you take into account skating, skits, public pranks, general stunts, on-screen charisma etc etc...it's easy to see where I'm coming from, although my initial statement didn't really include those aspects.

He would have most certainly got payed 2mil.Kids love him and the ladies want him. So they go watch jackass2 = $
But there's no way that the others would have let him just stand by. And I think that kinda showed in the movie.
