Grand Finale for ‘Jackass: Best and Last’
After more than two decades filled with daring stunts, practical jokes, and countless injuries, Jackass: Best and Last is prepared to give the iconic group a memorable send-off.
Paramount Pictures has recently debuted a trailer for Jackass: Best and Last, setting the stage for the ultimate chapter in the Jackass film saga. The series, pioneered by Johnny Knoxville, initially launched with the Jackass TV show on MTV 26 years ago and eventually expanded into a well-known media franchise that includes multiple films and television series showcasing an array of risky stunts and pranks. The journey is set to conclude with this forthcoming film.
The official trailer for the film, set to hit theaters on June 26, starts with a look back at earlier antics from both the original TV series and past movies, before giving us glimpses of the new antics awaiting in this final adventure. Highlights from the trailer feature the crew employing a robot named Larry to orchestrate mischief among themselves, and other wild stunts like catapulting someone in a porta-potty into the air, and a thrillingly electrified escape room challenge.
The full trailer can be viewed below:
The preview also confirms the return of several familiar faces from earlier Jackass movies. Johnny Knoxville leads the pack, joined by Jason “Wee Man” Acuña, Dave England, Preston Lacy, Bam Margera, Ehren McGhehey, Steve-O, and Chris Pontius. The trailer’s description, “It’s time to relive the best and experience the last,” suggests that the nostalgic clips will be integrated into the film itself, celebrating the franchise’s history while offering a final spectacular event for the veteran cast.
Last year, the cast came together for Jackass Forever, continuing their tradition of performing outrageous and painful stunts. The film, which marked the first feature in nine years, was met with positive critical acclaim, praised for its humorously refreshing revival of the series. Additional footage that didn’t make the final cut was later released on Netflix as Jackass 4.5. Now, Jackass: Best and Last promises to deliver one last round of iconic stunts on the big screen.
Johnny Knoxville has been gradually revealing details about Jackass: Best and Last, including teasers of new stunts and previously unseen footage intended for earlier films. This upcoming movie is described as a heartfelt tribute to the franchise, encapsulating the long and wild journey of the series. Earlier this month, Knoxville also mentioned that, unlike after previous films, there will be no compilation of unused footage released following this final movie, marking a first since the original Jackass film. The upcoming Best and Last is poised to be the definitive conclusion of the entire series.
As Jackass: Best and Last approaches its theatrical release, the trailer not only offers a retrospective look at the franchise’s storied past but also teases the ultimate display of stunts that the team has in store. With the premiere just around the corner, fans are eager to see the full extent of the antics that await.
