It's just a bunch of Welsh dudes who saw a gap in the market and realised they could make a quick buck.
Have you ever watched an episode of MTV's Dirty Sanchez and thought, 'Shit, man, I'd love to see another hour of this stuff.' If the answer's 'yes', your time has come.
Dirty Sanchez: The Movie sees the four jackasses dispatched on a world tour to experience the Seven Deadly Sins in as graphic and sickening a fashion as possible. The result is one of the vilest, filthiest movies you're ever likely to see.
It's genuinely fucked up, and at times it's pretty funny – not so much the stunts but the bits in between when it's just four mates dicking around. At one point, after getting riddled with 103 paintballs to beat a fictitious world record held by 'Anthony Kelly', a naked Pritchard declares, "That fuckin' Anthony Kelly is a right thick cunt." You can't script that kind of irony.
The thing is, when Jackass arrived it was a breath of fresh air on MTV; skate punks and existential cowboys reclaiming the airwaves from the corporate interests that had hijacked the station. But there's nothing punk about Dirty Sanchez – it's a bunch of Welsh dudes who saw a gap in the market and realised they could make a quick buck.
What's more corporate than that? Maybe if one of them had the charisma of Johnny Knoxville you'd just glide on through it, but they come across as the worst kind of obnoxious cultural tourists.
Two hours in the company of people who drink each other's puke? Erm...
It raises the odd laugh, and it does what it sets out to do, but it's one for fans only. Of S&M.
For the sake of your mental health, you'll never want to think of it again. But at the same time you'll talk about it endlessly in the pub.
