Ryan Dunn Tribute: Dunn's best Jackass moments [VIDEOS]
See video clips of Ryan Dunn's crazy Jackass stunts that made him the lovable and entertaining figure he was.
The late Ryan Dunn was known to many as a member of he Jackass boys, a group of brassy men who pull pranks on each other and perform dangerous stunts. Dunn is famous for always giving his best when it comes to their stunts, proving he lived life to the fullest in a humorous, unabashed kind of way. Just weeks after his 34th birthday, Dunn drove his Porsche off a Pennsylvania road on the morning of June 20th, killing the Jackass star and a passenger after the vehicle caught on fire.
Just after hours of Dunn's death broke, some fans thought the accident was an elaborate Jackass prank. The show's producer and star Johnny Knoxville tweeted that the death is "real", and asked people to stop thinking it's a "hoax". Earlier today, friends of Dunn expressed their grief and sorrow through different online posts. Ryan Dunn continues to be a trending topic in Twitter, and hundreds of tributes have been made by fans through blog posts and video clips.
Here are some of Dunn's famous Jackass stunts and pranks:
"Jet engine"
In this stunt taken from the Jackass 3D movie, Dunn acted seemingly normal as he sits down a leather chair. He is greeted by a heavy release of air that sends his hair flying. Once the camera pans out, a small plane is revealed and Dunn, along with the props, stumbles across the set. This famous clip was picked to be the movie's viral trailer.
"Riot control test"
In this clip, Dunn, along with Johnny Knoxville, Bam Margera and Chris Pontius, try to withstand hundreds of rubber balls traveling in bullet speed while standing next to each other. This type of riot control is usually done in penitentiaries when inmates are brawling or fighting in big groups. The small rubber balls can penetrate the first layer of the skin, stifling any raging man from moving on with any kind of violence.
"BMX tug-of-war"
Being the true fearless daredevil that he is, Dunn rode a bicycle straight into a garden of cactus plants where he is caught saying "I'm surrounded by cacti!" Dunn is known for being overly humorous and as Sophia Coppola would describe him, "energetic and fun".
"As- kicked by girl"
This stunt features an Asian female kickboxer as Dunn's opponent in the mock match created by the producers of Jackass. At the beginning of the clip, Dunn is seen wearing a ridiculous looking fighting attire. He looked pale and scared, before and after he got beaten by the strong and muscled female fighter.
"Super glue trouble" (nsfw)
Another stunt from the Jackass 3D movie, Dunn's co-stars wooed him to allow them to place a wad of super glue on his behind. After the application, he sat on the back of a co-star's hairy back and the struggle begins.
