View Full Version : Jackass star Ryan Dunn dies in car accident.
:(
http://www.tmz.com/2011/06/20/jackass-ryan-dunn-dies-dead-car-crash-accident-pennsylvania/
34-year-old Dunn appeared in all of the "Jackass" movies -- famously shoving a toy car into his rectum in the first flick back in 2002.
Dunn and an unidentified person both died in the crash which happened around 3 a.m. at Route 322 and New Street in West Goshen Township. It's unclear who was driving the car.
Just hours before his death, Dunn posted a photo on Twitter showing himself drinking with friends.

terrible news he was always my favourite from jackass:bawling:
Yeah he always seemed like one of the more decent, grounded blokes. Bam's a jackass. Everyone knows that.
Really sad news, he was one of the best ones on Jackass imo.
RIP Ryan :sad:

Got a toy car jammed up his arsehole [cruel irony or what]. Had a swim in a pool of human waist. Had a rather large amount of orange hair.

I hope he didn't get into a car with a drunk driver.
I always thought the .5's were just extended cuts. I just watched 3.5 and it's demonstrably more hillarious than the actual film. The homoerotic jock schtick, crew laughter and little quips have always been far more engaging than the big, impressive stunts and that's what this one is all about.
There's one failed stunt involving a cat and Chris Pontius's knob and I don't think I've ever laughed harder.

Wildboyz was top notch
Wildboyz is epic. 60% of it was just Pontius and Steve-O goofing around saying the dumbest and most hilarious stuff. One of my favorite moments being when they go visit a tribe in the middle of the jungle and a party breaks out and they both get insane pissed on this mango alcohol the tribes people grown and Pontius ends up falling down the stairs while the tribesmen cheer. It's just utterly bizarre to see Pontius and Steve O partying with an amazonian tribe miles away from western/modern society and it STILL pretty much looks exactly like the same piss-up men have all over the world.
Edit :

I love the spontaneous break into dance halfway through.

20-06-2011, 09:58 PM
I think a few of the Jackass crew have had a few brushes with death haven't they? Didn't Steve-O have something happen? And other one had a stunt go baaaaaad
Steve-O actually - I think Johnny Knoxville told him to clean up or do one or something?
Steve-O had serious drug issues. He got clean before the third film and they made the entire film with strict sober set rules which makes it all the more astounding that they done that stuff sober.
Most of them are langered at some point in the early stuff. Bam's hit the booze big time now.

Yeah, remember looking him (Steve-O) up on Wiki at the time. Forgot what I was watching or reading. Something about Jackass obviously. Sounded like Johnny K sorted him out a bit. Then again, not exactly the 'clean' lifestyle is it? I know I'd need more than a few sherbets :joker: And maybe a tranquiliser......

mtv made a special documenting his descent into madness it was pretty shocking stuff.

The autopsy results say that the damage inflicted was so bad it is impossible to tell whether it was the blunt trauma or thermal trauma that killed them.
Toxicology results not due for 4-6 weeks.
Also westboro baptist church have announced they are going to protest at his funeral i hope they get their ****ing arses kicked.

Surely if it was a hoax the police or doctors would know the body wasn't real?
If the lads ever decide to do a Jackass 4 you have to imagine Westboro Baptist Church are going to get slaughtered in some way.
Jackass 2 is on Film Four at 1:15. The Valentine's prank is probably the best thing ever put to film.

Ryan Dunn autopsy results released
Wednesday, June 22 2011, 04:00 BST
Ryan Dunn's autopsy results have been released by Pennsylvania's Chester County Coroner, along with those of his passenger Zachary Hartwell.
The Jackass star and Hartwell were killed in a car accident early on Monday morning after Dunn crashed his Porsche at 3am local time at Route 322 and New Street in West Goshen Township in Pennsylvania.
Dunn and Hartwell's deaths are now confirmed to have been caused by blunt force trauma as well as the fire which consumed the vehicle following the crash, reports TMZ. Both men are said to have been dead upon the arrival of local authorities.
Toxicology reports will be revealed within 4 to 6 weeks and should answer questions regarding whether or not Dunn was intoxicated at the time of the accident.
Dunn's friend and Jackass co-star Bam Margera recently slammed Roger Ebert after the movie critic said that Dunn's death was down to "jackass drink driving".
Ebert later defended his comments, insisting that they were most likely true but that he was "probably too quick" to make the assumption.

I know there are many fans on here but does it really make any difference if he was drinking for 5 hours, 2 hours or 4 bloody days? He was drunk and lost his and a friends life :(
A friend of Ryan Dunn has blasted the "ludicrous" press reports surrounding the Jackass star's tragic death.
Thaddeus Kalinoski was partying with Dunn on the night of the car crash that claimed the lives of the 34-year-old and his passenger Zachary Hartwell.
Although Dunn was confirmed as being legally drunk at the time of the accident, Kalinoski debunked previous unfavourable accounts about the extent of their boozing.
"Reports were saying five hours [of drinking] which is ludicrous. It was maybe two hours," he told E! Online. "He was the same person as he came in and as he left he was in good spirits, just really happy to be there with his friends."
When asked if Dunn had intentionally set out to get drunk, Kalinoski stated: "Absolutely not. It was a Sunday night. He came in with... two other guys, one being Zach... [it was just] guys at the bar drinking, relaxing, having a couple of drinks. That is all it was... I didn't see anything abnormal."
Recalling the news of Dunn's death, Kalinoski added: "When I heard it the next day, I didn't believe it. I didn't even think it was real. [I wish I could] go back and tell [Ryan] to stop, but it was just people out at a bar having drinks."
Jackass star Bam Margera recently hit out at film critic Roger Ebert for a "cruel" tweet about Dunn's drunk driving.
It was reported today that Dunn's funeral will be picketed by the Westboro Baptist Church.

Killed anyone.
I was a fan, well of the show. And I know this type of stuff happens. But drink driving is one of my major major hates. Might aswell be a loaded gun.
and driving at apparently 130mph, he could have easily killed some innocent driver, a bit silly that people call him a 'hero'/'legend'
What's the problem with that?
It's entirely possible and quite easy to seperate the rest of his life from the last few hours of it. I doubt people calling him a legend were endorsing his drunk driving.
He made a stupid mistake and paid the ultimate price. He was still the dude.

I saw Roger Ebert got into a bit of hot water by tweeting something about drink-driving; Bam Margera called him a fat ****er or something.
It smacked of looking for publicity, to be honest. He says he stands by the sentiment that drunk driving is bad - that was news to all of us obviously - but why post it on Twitter a few days after his death when people are still grieving? He absoloutely knew where it would end up surely.

Film critic Roger Ebert posted a link to a news story on Twitter, following it with the statement: "Friends don't let jackasses drink and drive."
Dunn's Jackass and Viva La Bam co-star responded: "I just lost my best friend, I have been crying hysterical for a full day and piece of s**t roger ebert has the gall to put in his 2 cents.
"About a jackass drunk driving and his is one, ****** you! Millions of people are crying right now, shut your fat ******ing mouth!"

I liked him but the fact he was so stupid has put me off him a bit, it happens with anyone who drink drives. It is sad that he died though and Roger Ebert was exceedingly dumb tweeting like that so soon after.
