Johnny Knoxville Breaks Down Every Injury of His Career
I’m going to go ahead and throw this out there early: if broken bones or other serious injuries make you squeamish, you may want to watch this through squinted eyes. But trust me when I say, you definitely do want to watch it!
I may be the world’s worst when it comes to involuntary reactions to broken bones. They make me feel faint and nauseous and I have literally almost passed out before from seeing a woman’s broken arm in a movie theatre. Needless to say, as much as I loved watching Johnny Knoxville and company beat and batter themselves and one another on the admittedly hilarious Jackass television show and movie series, I always had to watch with one eye closed and the other one ready to turn away at the first sign of a compound fracture to keep from triggering my gag reflex and pass-out response.
Knowing some of the awful things Knoxville has been through, this video of him going down the list of injuries from the beginning, even predating the Jackass era, has more than enough “look away” moments, but seeing some of these stunts again are well worth the risk of feeling a little woozy.
Knoxville, who has seemingly matured quite a bit, revisits some of the most memorable moments from both the TV and the movies and other projects that spun off of the Jackass juggernaut. He recalls the time he held and impromptu boxing match in a swap meet against legendary heavyweight boxer Butterbean, which resulted in not only Knoxville being knocked out by the hard-hitting slugger, but splitting his head open when he collapsed to the floor.
He also revisits his painfully inept attempt at back flipping a dirt bike. Considering Johnny had a hard time just getting the bike moving, him trying to launch it into a backflip should have been a huge red flag, but we are talking bout the worse behaved bunch in television history, so it should be no surprise that Knoxville Just Sent It and caught a handlebar to the lads for his troubles.
Go ahead and hit that play button and check out some of the many mishaps to befall the head Jackass himself!
