Kevin Smith stopped by Steve-O's podcast and revealed how Jackass helped him fight the MPAA.
Kevin Smith's time as a filmmaker who makes movies with vulgar dialogue, and sometimes vulgar events, is well documented, as are his many encounters with the the Motion Picture Association of America with regard to his film's ratings. Though most of his movies are Rated R, sometimes they've been given the more severe NC-17, and sometimes he has to call in the big guns to help.
As Smith fans may recall, there's a wild scene in 2008's Zack and Miri Make a Porno where one of Smith's regular collaborators Jeff Anderson has to come....face-to-face with some fecal matter. Smith notes that the gag-inducing joke is only about two seconds in length in the movie but that upon seeing Anderson's face covered in filth, the MPAA told him:"Never in a million years, you can't f-cking do this.
As Smith recounts it,"When I went up to arbitrate , 'So ladies and gentlemen we all agree that the fake fecal matter that wound up on my actor's face is a product of movie magic? That's not sh-t. We mix up oatmeal and some coloring, so if we all agree that then we know that like we're in the unreality business.
Steve-O then pulled back the curtain a bit for Smith, telling him that while there is poop in that particular scene of the Jackass sequel, no one gets sprayed in the face with it in their movie."You're lucky I wasn't there because nothing made it into that mask," he revealed."That's just the power of my imagination, the idea that something was gross."
