In Jackass, everyone knows going in that the stunts are stupid and the effects painful. Rendered in grandiose slow motion, the sequence parodies the way movies are supposed to work: You introduce your stars and the concept, and then you put them through some challenges, leading to education or evolution. It also makes a comparison between the arts of movies and of violent stunts. On one hand, the stunt compares the annual Pamplona spectacle and the Jackass spectacle, asking viewers to see the likeness between vaunted cultural traditions and this (debatable) "art" form. JACKASS: NUMBER TWO opens with a running-with-the-bulls sequence that sends the movie's stars - and the animals - crashing through a suburban set's fake walls and windows.
