Trivia:

The film was originally shown to the BBFC in an unfinished version. They recommended that a sequence featuring a man sucking excrement from the anus of a live rabbit would need to be removed before the film could be classified '18'. This cut was requested on the grounds of an infringement of the Cinematograph Films (Animals) Act 1937. When the finished version was submitted, this sequence had been deleted and the film was passed '18' without further cuts.

The 'Dirty Sanchez' team are summoned to Hell where Satan (Keith Richards) orders them to commit the seven deadly sins in various places around the world in order to secure themselves a place there.

I must confess to never seeing the actual show this movie is based on, but it doesn't look like I've been missing much. For the film is just a bunch of annoying Welsh Jackass wannabes pushing the boundaries of taste and decency as far as their rather warped imaginations will let them. Most of the stunts in Jackass were pretty gross and outrageous, but there was an element of good-hearted humour and fun there. This projects a really rather unsettling and unpleasant tone to it, which the makers probably weren't even aware of. And I think that really says it all. *
