TV.com summary

Dirty Sanchez is a TV and film series of a group featuring three Welsh men, Matthew Pritchard, Lee Dainton, Michael Locke aka Pancho and an English man Joyce, all of whom display a total disregard for their own health and engage in extremely self-harmful acts. It is known as Team Sanchez in the U.S. because of the original title's sexual reference. The show was originally based in Newport, Wales; but branched out into other areas, in the UK and even across the globe, in later seasons of the show.

The first series received mixed reactions, with some people claiming it was just a lacklustre imitation of the American show Jackass, while others, especially those previously offended by Jackass, complained it pushed the boundaries of taste too far out, due to a high content of extreme stunts and strong profanity, as well as full frontal male nudity. Their tagline is 'They make Jackass look like the Royal Shakespeare Company', and also on the cover of the Dirty Sanchez The Movie DVD, there is another quote by MAXIM saying "Makes Jackass Look Like The Teletubbies."

[edit] First Series "Front And Rear End" (DVD Title)

It started when Pritchard and Dainton started filming themselves skating and pranking each other, in a collection of bootleg videos called Pritchard vs Dainton. MTV decided to create a television series about these two men and their other two best friends in a show called Dirty Sanchez, a slang term for a sexual act. Each show features, among the many often controversial and always dangerous stunts, clips of themselves, their families, their friends and their workmates talking about them and their lives.

Dirty Sanchez: The Movie, directed by Jim Hickey, was released on September 22, 2006. It is in the format of a world tour [1] and incorporates stunts related to the Seven Deadly Sins. Stunts are on a larger scale and more extreme than stunts shown in the TV show. The film also features the first cross over battle between two stunt groups. In their tour of Japan, the Dirty Sanchez team battles the Tokyo Shock Boys to see who is more extreme. In the end the Tokyo Shock Boys refuse to do a live show with Dirty Sanchez due to their disgusting antics.

The DVD of Dirty Sanchez: The Movie was released on 22 January 2007 by Pathé Distribution Ltd.

The movie premiered on television on MTV One at 10.30pm on 5 August 2007. Many of the scenes and stunts were cut short or not shown due to viewing reasons. TMF broadcast the movie later that month.

The movie premiered at the 2007 Tribeca Film Festival. Described as Jackass on crack, the film is about "wicked nasty stunts such as liposuction drinking games, beer enema shotguns, things that shouldn't be done with male genitalia, and more...."[2]

The film was released on DVD in North America on September 11, 2007 by Dimension Extreme and Alliance Atlantis.
