Overview
- The film opens in theaters Friday, June 26, and Knoxville and producers have announced it is the official final Jackass movie.
- Best and Last is built roughly half from new stunts and half from archival or previously unseen footage, including a 1998 clip of Knoxville shooting himself while wearing a Kevlar vest.
- Knoxville largely takes a back-seat in new set pieces after the 2022 bull stunt that caused a concussion, brain hemorrhage and a lengthy recovery, which he and teammates cite as the key reason to stop doing large-scale stunts.
- Early reviews call the film a bittersweet, camaraderie-driven sendoff, and Rotten Tomatoes registered about a 90% critics’ score in initial aggregations.
- The movie includes archival appearances by Bam Margera and the late Ryan Dunn, adds new performers and a voiced robot named Larry, and frames the franchise’s legacy as both nostalgic and physically costly as its principals age.
