The Disgusting Rejected Jackass Forever Stunt That Steve-O Ended Up Performing Anyway

"Jackass" isn't exactly a program well known for prudence, self-preservation, or caution. If Steve-O and his merry band of pranksters can do it to their bodies, they have done it, and will do it again in full view of the television cameras. They have dipped their bodies into mouse traps; they have eaten repulsive things; they have thrown themselves down steep hills and shot themselves out of cannons. There's next to nothing that they haven't tried to do to themselves for the sake of their art, so to speak.

Longtime fans of Steve-O, his merry band of pranksters, and the "Jackass" franchise will be shocked to learn that there are some things that the directors he works with might not want in the films they create together. This stunt, which Steve-O came up with for "Jackass Forever," was initially rejected by director Jeff Tremaine but he ended up doing it on film anyway. Here are the details on this rather disgusting stunt.

Perhaps this isn't a shocker, but the stunt involved excrement. And no, it was not of the human variety.

Via a video blog recently posted by the stuntman to YouTube, Steve-O explained, "I bought a T-shirt cannon for 'Jackass 4'. My idea was to fill it up with dog poop and have someone get shot in the face with it. But the director Jeff Tremaine didn't think the idea was really clever enough, so it didn't happen. But then today my buddy from the NELKBoys, Steve WillDoIt, asked if I would film with him for his blog. The NELKBoys are on fire. I wanted to hit a home run, so I pulled out the T-shirt cannon."

Steve-O went on to explain how he prepared for the stunt, and how he took the doggy doo bomb to the face. You can also check out the detailed aftermath of the stunt via his posted vlog above.
