Television and movies

Dunn is known for wrecking cars; he once flipped a car 8 times into oncoming traffic with Bam Margera, Jess Margera (who suffered a cracked wrist), and Chris Raab in the car. Years later, Ryan was driving a golf cart with Johnny Knoxville while filming a skit for "". The idea was that he would launch the golf cart over a sandtrap and into a plastic statue of a giant pig, and the statue would simply be crushed. However, the statue did not crush but instead forced the golf cart into the air and it landed upside down. Ryan was thrown from the cart, but Johnny landed on his neck and the cart landed on top of him. He was knocked out for a while but was not seriously injured. They stopped filming the skit at that point. In the commentary for the movie, Bam Margera noted Dunn's bad driving.

It is also revealed that in Viva La Bam, Ryan Dunn owns a Pet Python.

Another skit in "" featured Ryan Dunn placing a toy car up his rectum. The car was placed inside a condom and covered in lubricant. He then visited a doctor and complained of a pain in his tail bone, only for the doctor to take x-rays and discover that a small car was lodged in his body. Steve-O was the original talent for the piece but ultimately refused to do it, stating that his dad would "disown him" if he did it. The x-ray showing the car inside Dunn can be seen on the menu page inside the DVD case of the film. Dunn was also featured in Jackass Number Two.

In 2005 MTV gave Dunn a show of his own entitled "Home Wrecker". The show featured Dunn helping people get their own back on friends who had victimized them by "wrecking" their homes.

Dunn also went on a tour with Don Vito called The Dunn and Don Vito Rock tour and the DVD was released on March 20, 2007. [ [http://www.amazon.com/Dunn-Vitos-Rock-Tour/dp/B000LPS2PY Amazon.com: Dunn & Vito's Rock Tour: Movies & TV: Ryan Dunn,Steve-O,Don Vito ] ]
