What's the movie about?
Seriously? You want to know what a Jackass movie is about? Have you ever seen one or were you too drunk to remember the experience? Don’t answer that.
Jackass: Best and Last chronicles a series of stunts, pranks, and other really bad decisions designed to cause maximum damage and just enough pain for audiences’ endless amusement.
The fifth film in MTV Films and Paramount’s hit comedy franchise is special for a number of reasons. The movie will feature a mix of classic bits from the short-lived MTV series and last four films starring longtime Jackass crew members like Steve-o, Chris Pontius, Preston Lacy, Danger Ehren and Wee Man and newer members such as Jasper, Zach Holmes, Rachel Wolfson and (yes, this is his name) Poopies.
Some of the newest bits teased in the trailer includes the “Escape Room from Hell” in which the cast members are subjected to a series of painful challenges, an office party featuring an angry ram, an electric balance beam, and the world’s first prostate exam administered by a robot. The film also features a series of small stunts and painful pranks perpetrated on the cast in a Jamiroquai style music video montage.
Jackass: Best and Last will also be the last Jackass film or at least the last starring its longtime star Johnny Knoxville.
Why is this the last Jackass film?
There are probably some obvious reasons Knoxville and his crew decided to end the Jackass franchise with the fifth film. You can only take so many hits to the head and nuts before it starts to take a toll on your body.
Knoxville talked with Rolling Stone's Alex Morris about the history of Jackass and the final film headed to theaters on Friday. He confirmed that Jackass: Best and Last will indeed be the last Jackass movie he films.
“This will be the last one,” Knoxville said. “This is the natural place to end. So it’s going to be absolutely awful.”
Director Jeff Tremaine told Polygon's Brian Vanhooker that pretty much every film in the Jackass franchise felt like it could be the last one, but Jackass: Best and Last will definitively be the last beyond the fact that it's in the title.
“It just feels like it’s time,” Tremaine said. “I don’t know, it’s just a feeling. I think this movie wraps up the franchise in the way we would want it to.”
