‘Jackass 5’ Trailer: Johnny Knoxville and Friends Say Goodbye to Series With Tasers, ‘Escape Room From Hell’ and More Painful Stunts

by · Variety

Welcome back to Jackass: Paramount Pictures has released a trailer for the stunt-comedy franchise’s fifth and final film. “Jackass: Best and Last” will be released in theaters on June 26. 

Originally beginning as an MTV show 26 years ago, “Jackass” has since become a decades-spanning property, spawning four feature films and a slew of spinoffs starring original cast members including Johnny Knoxville, Bam Margera, Steve-O, Chris Pontius, Jason “Wee Man” Acuña, Dave England, Preston Lacy and Ehren McGhehey.

Most recently, the cast reunited for “Jackass Forever” in 2022, in which the pranksters carried out a number of hilarious and absurd stunts. During the filming, Knoxville was pummeled by a bull, leaving him with a brain hemorrhage, concussion, broken wrist and broken rib that made him semi-retire from daredevilry

“I can’t do anything where I can get another concussion,” Knoxville said on the “Books That Changed My Life” podcast. “[I’m] way over my limit for concussions, but I don’t care about anything else. I just can’t get hit in the head anymore — but a lot of other guys can.”

Variety previously confirmed that another “Jackass” film would be returning to the big screen earlier this year following a joint Instagram post made by Knoxville, the official “Jackass” account and the Jeff Tremaine-founded production company Gorilla Flicks. 

“Well a wang dang and hot damn doodle, we are starting the year off with a bang,” the statement reads. “We wanted to let you know that this summer ‘Jackass’ is back!! We will see you in theatres June 26th. More to come but wanted you to hear it from us first!!”
