Jackass: Best and Last Is the Franchise’s Final Theatrical Film

The cast frames the movie as a deliberate send-off that closes a stunt-driven era because further high-risk films are no longer viable.

Overview

  • Jackass: Best and Last is in theaters now and the principal cast have confirmed it will be the last Jackass movie.
  • The film runs like a greatest-hits compilation, combining archival and never-before-seen footage with a smaller slate of new stunts and behind-the-scenes clips.
  • Johnny Knoxville’s participation in big new stunts was limited because of accumulated head injuries, including a severe 2020 bull goring that producers and performers cite as decisive in ending theatrical stunt work.
  • Early reviews praise the movie’s bittersweet, friendship-focused moments but note that many newer cast members get little screen time and that roughly half the runtime feels like a clip show.
  • The team says they will protect the franchise’s legacy through lower-risk projects such as podcasts or docuseries rather than more stunt-heavy films, a shift that reduces physical danger to performers.
