September 22, 2006 -- JUST wondering: Why did it take Paramount only two years to put together "The Godfather Part II," yet four years to conjure "Jackass Number Two," a buffet of dumb and degrading stunts halfway between Looney Tunes and Abu Ghraib?

Were there creative differences about how many replays to show of the guy getting the image of a male organ branded onto his butt cheeks? Were Wee Man and Steve-O too busy doing "Othello" at the Old Vic? Was there a shortage of anacondas to hide in the playpen?

You probably know by this stage of your life whether you'd like to see a man place a sock on something that rhymes with sock and introduce both into a snake's den. But even if you find that funny (hell, I do), you probably don't need to see a beer enema or several vomit scenes, one resulting from a turn in the "fart mask."

Johnny Knoxville and pals are about a third hilarious (I loved the "Bad Grandpa" sketch in which an oldster brings a little kid to a burger stand, gives the kid a cigarette and a drink, and insults everyone in the vicinity), a third kinda lame (it's not that interesting to see guys skateboard into the side of a panel truck) and a third too weird and/or gross.

The volume of proctological trauma, including an episode where a guy specifically requests that a sexual aid be thrust into his soft tissues, suggests that the stunt these guys really want to do is have an orgy with each other. Also, though I understand that the film is intent on being no. 1 in no. 2, it is not ever necessary to show someone making doody on camera, thanks.

JACKASS NUMBER TWO

**

Cheeky stunts.

Running time: 92 minutes. Rated R (nudity, dangerous stunts, profanity, sexual content, bathroom humor). At the Empire, the 84th Street, the Kips Bay, others.
