Jackass: Best and Last Debuts as Half-Archive Farewell

Premiered at Paramount’s Hollywood lot on June 25, the film opens wide June 26 and pairs unreleased early footage with a smaller set of newly filmed gross‑out stunts.

Overview

  • The film premiered at Paramount’s Hollywood lot on June 25 and will open wide in theaters on June 26 as the franchise’s billed final movie.
  • Roughly half the 92‑minute runtime is archival or ‘greatest‑hits’ material while the remainder is newly shot set pieces filmed earlier in 2026.
  • New sequences include headline-grabbing gags such as a robot prostate exam and a Twister game played after colonoscopy laxatives, alongside previously unaired early stunts like Knoxville shooting himself while wearing a bulletproof vest.
  • Key original cast members including Johnny Knoxville, Steve‑O, Wee Man and director Jeff Tremaine attended the premiere, which featured a Paramount-backed afterparty and a drone show that emphasized the studio’s celebratory marketing push.
  • Early reviews praise the film’s nostalgia and consistent laughs but criticize its clip‑show structure and question whether it delivers a definitive farewell, leaving the franchise’s finality open to audience interpretation.
