Terror Taxi (stylized as terror taxi) is a stunt and segment of Jackass Number Two.
In the skit, Ehren dresses up as a terrorist in the goal to prank a taxi driver. Unbeknownst to him, the prank itself is direct towards Ehren, with the taxi driver being an actor hired to scare Ehren, and the use of pubic hair as part of the costume.
Synopsis[]
Ehren McGhehey is given the final skit of the movie: play a terrorist and scare a taxi driver on his way to Burbank Airport to blow a plane up. Unaware to him, the prank is centered towards him, as two days prior to the stunt, numerous crew members shaved their pubic hair -- including one diagnosed with crabs. Ignorant of the setup, Ehren dresses up as a terrorist and has his pubic hair beard glued to him, and cinematographer Dimitry Elyashkevich joins him in the skit.
Outside, Ehren enters a taxi and both him and the driver -- in actuality an actor hired for the skit -- discusses of various things, such as Ehren's "disdain" for United States, and the driver's wife's measurements. Soon after, while discussing about the Burbank Airport, Ehren alludes to bombs. Realizing the terrorist's intents, the driver then accelerates and changes route, scrapping Ehren's plans. The taxi is parked into a vacant lot, and the drivers punches and threatens with a gun Ehren, forcing him to go into the trunk. The crew "intervenes" and all fake being shot dead. A panicked Ehren tries to calm the situation while the driver makes rounds into the lot. Upon leaving the trunk, Ehren realizes the prank, and discovers his beard's nature, leaving him to dry heave.
Faking Allegations[]
In 2021, on Steve-O's Wild Ride podcast, he and Ehren discussed of the skit on an epiosde called "The Truth Behind "TERROR TAXI"". During the skit, Ehren claims having known the skit during its production, in which he claims preferring using pubic hair than "break his neck". The claim was quickly debunked by viewers, in which they point out his reaction in the skit genuine.
