I watched a lot of this stuff when I was a kid, before youtube allowed you to watch people getting hurt in a variety of ways with the click of a button. Johnny was that lunatic that we all wanted to know, just so we could see him hurt himself over and over, preferably when we were far away from his self-destructive antics.
Now, in this new interview promoting his new film, Action Point, Johnny Knoxville sits down and discusses some of his worst injuries, from being gored by a bull and almost dying in a homemade exploding rocket, to having his eyeball pop out of its socket after a brutal motorcycle stunt gone wrong. This video is absolutely not for the squeamish, so if you don’t like watching people get seriously, badly injured, maybe skip this one.
Action Point is about D.C., the crackpot owner of a low-rent, out-of-control amusement park where the rides are designed with minimum safety for maximum fun. Just as his estranged daughter Boogie comes to visit, a corporate mega-park opens nearby and jeopardizes the future of Action Point. To save his beloved park and his relationship with Boogie, D.C. and his loony crew of misfits must risk everything to pull out all the stops and save the day.
