There’s a post-credits scene with Knoxville and director Jeff Tremaine sitting on hotel beds, in which Tremaine, visibly shaken, laments what was probably another near-death experience.
Tremaine says: “You could’ve been killed. It’s dangerous.”
Knoxville, trance-like, replies: “I want it to be dangerous. I want it to be dangerous.”
That kind of obsession with defying death is not a sustainable way to live.
But as Knoxville’s hero and friend Hunter S Thompson said: “Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming, ‘Wow!

What a Ride!’” That’s what being an idiot is all about.
