IMDb profile

Don't Try This at Home: The Steve-O Video is Steve-O's first DVD. It contains mostly footage that the censors wouldn't allow on MTV. Some noteworthy scenes are Steve-O drinking bong water, the fireball face off where Steve-O spits a fireball while doing a backflip, burning his face in the process, and the vodka IV where Steve-O gets five shots of vodka pumped through his blood stream courtesy of a registered nurse. It also contains the video "The Career Ender," appropriately titled because it was once believed to end Steve-O's career. Highlights of the Career Ender show Steve's first attempt at the butterfly, in which he stapleguns his scrotum to his leg. The DVD contains a cast commentary and a bonus making-of video.

[edit] Controversy

The retail version of the Steve-O video has 57 seconds of missing footage, while the internet version remains intact. The missing scenes are 'Bong Water', 'Tour Intro' and 'Marijuana Pipe'.

Also, after a fall out with Steve's old manager Nick Dunlap, Nick has re-released the DVD, advertising it as a "Now 100% special edition." This was completely unauthorized by Steve. The DVD is the same disc sold in 2001, but there is a new red cover.

[edit] Sequels

Don't Try This at Home was followed by Don't Try This at Home Volume 2: The Tour (2002) and Steve-O: Out on Bail (2003), which show Steve-O on a tour with other Jackass cast members (such as Bam Margera and Ryan Dunn) and their exploits and stunts during that time. A fourth video, Steve-O: The Early Years (2004), records Steve-O engaging in stunts and pranks done primarily for his and his friends' amusement, as opposed to performing for an audience.
