Reinforce your groin cup and grease the wheels of your best shopping cart because the final installment of the iconic franchise, Jackass: Best and Last, will make its exclusive streaming debut on Paramount+ September 24.
One Last Ride for the Idiots
In Jackass: Best and Last, which was released theatrically earlier this year, Johnny Knoxville and the gang return for one final, deeply unhinged fling at the big screen. Featuring a blend of all-new stunts and stupidity alongside the greatest hits and biggest laughs from the past, this chapter is a joyously raucous celebration of all the mischievous camaraderie that you’ve come to love and expect from these idiots over the past 25 years. It’s a bittersweet send-off packed with bone-crunching slaps, absurd set pieces, and a surprising amount of heart. So, grab your buddies, raise your glasses, and experience the cinematic event that promises to be the absolute last time you’ll ever laugh this hard.
In addition to Knoxville, a stacked lineup of familiar favorites joins this iteration’s signature mischief. The original crew is fully accounted for, including Steve-O, Chris Pontius, Wee Man (Jason Acuña), Dave England, Danger Ehren (Ehren McGhehey), and Preston Lacy. They are backed up by the newer generation of willing victims: Rachel Wolfson, Jasper, Dark Shark (Compston Wilson), Poopies (Sean McInerney), and Zach Holmes. Together, they prove that while bodies age, the collective willingness to get launched into a ceiling for a punchline remains entirely ageless.
Tears, Bruises, and Emotional Goodbyes
Earlier this year, Knoxville opened up (heh) about Jackass: Best and Last being the definitive final film in the Jackass series, saying, “It actually got emotional,” as everything came to a close. “That really lands, this being the last film. And, I think it’s the first Jackass movie where I ever choked up… I mean, the last day of filming I cried, like, four times.”
Hanging Up the Groin Cup
Speaking to Rolling Stone in February, Knoxville reiterated how Best and Last marks the gang’s final rodeo. “This will be the last one,” he said. “This is the natural place to end. So it’s going to be absolutely awful.” It’s been over a quarter-century since the original MTV series first aired, and with much of the main cast now well into their 50s, hanging up the cup may finally be the smartest stunt they’ve ever pulled.
