Movie Reviews of CKY The Box Set (DVD)

Movie Review: Defined a new generation of pranksters and punks
Summary: 5 Stars

The CKY films are known for their sick skateboarding, hilarious skits, and jaw-dropping stunts. CKY: Landspeed defined some of the most infamous bits ever performed by the East Coast Crew. This includes Shopping Carts, which introduced the idea of sitting in shopping carts while your friend pushes you as fast as he can and rams you directly into a curb, thus propelling your body into the pavement at full speed. CKY videos are usually only found in select stores or skate shops so this idea didn't go mainstream until Jackass premiered in October of 2000, and impressionable kids really started to be affected by the impulse of doing dumb stunts. Unfortunately, this resulted in lawsuits and the inevitable fall of Jackass, but they truly showed that they weren't going to be censored when Jackass The Movie came out in 2002. I guess that gross-out humor and dangerous antics are meant to be left in their rawest form. And if you're sick of the Jackass reruns or just can't seem to find any good homegrowns on the internet to satisfy your need for hardcore stunts on camera that lack in bleeps, then check out the CKY series.

Landspeed is mostly known for introducing Shopping Carts, drive-thru pranks, and public spills. Videos like CKY2K are where people would probably recommend you for skating, when in fact CKY: Landspeed has pretty unbelievable shredding on rails and vert ramps. Unfortunately, all we see in the beginning is Kerry "Hockey Temper" Getz throwing his skateboard around and getting angry as hell. Thankfully, the 96 Quite Bitter Beings, Shippensburg, and Knee Deep skate videos seen throughout the duration of Landspeed start showing us some awesome skating. So I guess Landspeed has everything you need. CKY2K and CKY3 only perfect it.

CKY2K features some nasty toilet humor where Brandon wipes poo on Ryan's face, and Ryan urinates on Brandon's face as revenge. This also includes their strangely funny trip to Iceland, even more skateboarding that just keeps getting better, and the birth of Brandon's Chinese freestyle. DiCamillo is really beginning to define his reputation in CKY2K as a ruthless prankster.

CKY3 is a step-up in video quality with better special effects that are comparable to Viva La Bam. This video is all mostly random acts of inexplainable idiocy with an all new Shopping Carts video that's the best yet and Chris Raab defecating while running at full speed. We also get to see Bam relieve himself on Phil's face while laughing with his pro skater buddies, Ville Valo from HIM, and the members of the band CKY. Amongst this, we get some more skating thrown in here and there with Bam in most of the clips. But what would a CKY movie be without skateboarding?

I'd say that my favorite out of the three would have to be CKY3 because of how well it was put together and the variety of crazy stuff in it. You make your decision for yourself.
