Stephen King

Prolific author of horror and suspense, who also writes extensively on the craft of writing and pop culture.

The iconic and often controversial "Jackass" franchise is drawing to a close, with its final film, "Jackass: Best and Last," making its streaming debut. This marks the end of an era for the crew known for their audacious stunts and irreverent humor, solidifying their legacy in pop culture.

A Grand Finale of Reckless Antics

The Culmination of a Legendary Prank Saga

After a theatrical run that commenced on June 26, the eagerly awaited "Jackass: Best and Last" is scheduled to arrive on Paramount+ this September 24. This release signals the official conclusion of the decades-spanning journey of pranks and audacious acts that defined the "Jackass" brand, from its television origins to its multi-film series.

Reuniting the Original Daredevils for One Last Hurrah

The latest installment sees the return of beloved original cast members, including Johnny Knoxville, Bam Margera, Steve-O, Chris Pontius, Jason “Wee Man” Acuña, Dave England, Preston Lacy, and Ehren McGhehey. Together, they embarked on a final series of dangerous stunts and comedic antics, following the tradition set by "Jackass Forever." This preceding film introduced new faces while maintaining the franchise's signature outrageousness. Notably, during the production of "Jackass Forever," Knoxville suffered significant injuries from a bull encounter, including a brain hemorrhage, which prompted his partial retirement from such high-risk activities.

Knoxville's Personal Reflection on the End of an Era

Johnny Knoxville candidly shared his limitations regarding future head injuries, stating on the “Books That Changed My Life” podcast that he has exceeded his concussion threshold. While he must now avoid further blows to the head, he confirmed that other cast members remain eager to continue their high-octane performances. He expressed profound sentiment about the final film at CinemaCon, declaring it the last "Jackass" movie the world would witness. Knoxville emphasized the immense personal significance of the franchise to him, noting that the team poured extra effort into making this concluding chapter the most exceptional "Jackass" film ever created.
