“...Zavadil may look like human wreckage, but there’s something in his spirit that remains impressive...” Jam! Movies
Before the body-threatening antics of Jackass came crashing into public consciousness, there was Ontario’s Ralph Zavadil, aka Cap’n Video, who cascaded off roofs into snow banks, jumped off ladders into half-empty swimming pools, and drank eggs through his nostrils. Beauty Day is a rambunctious documentary about this irrepressible pioneer of local-access cable shenanigans who entertained and outraged viewers. With the advent of the internet and reality television years away,
his unique brand of stomach churning stunt comedy was truly ahead of its time. All it took was a broken neck for him to get noticed.
