Synopsis
Jackass: Best and Last is a compilation of stunts, skits, and pranks, intercut with on-set talking heads with its cast. The movie will be a mix of old and new footage, bringing back the biggest stunts and pranks from the franchise, as well as brand new ones, and never-before-seen footage.[4][5]
Some of the old bits shown this film include; "Brad Pitt's Abduction" from the Jackass TV series;[6] the "High Five", and "Poo Cocktail Supreme" from Jackass 3D (2010); and the "Magic Trick", and "Silence of the Lambs" from Jackass Forever (2022). The "Silence of the Lambs" bit in this film also includes previously unseen footage with Bam Margera.[7]
Some of the new stunts include Steve-O getting a painful prostate exam from a robot named Larry, Poopies getting shocked by a shock collar on his penis while attempting to walk across a balance beam, and an "escape room from hell" that punishes everyone’s bodies.[8]
Cast
The entire main cast of Jackass Forever (2022) is set to return for this film,[9] with the exception of new cast member Eric Manaka.

Eric Manaka, who was a new cast member in Jackass Forever and Jackass 4.5 (2022),[10] will also not appear in any new footage.[citation needed]

Development
On November 6, 2025, Steve-O said that they had a number of Zoom calls to discuss the 25th anniversary of Jackass. "What we landed on was a bit more ambitious than timely, but this next year, we're likely to see the Jackass franchise rear its ugly head", he said.[14] Johnny Knoxville announced the film on his Instagram account on January 8, 2026.[15] During his appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on January 15, 2026, he said that he cannot do any stunts that can lead to a concussion anymore,[9] as in Jackass Forever (2022), he got a broken rib, a broken wrist, a concussion, and brain hemorrhage during a stunt with a bull.[16]
Steve-O said on his podcast that the movie will be a mix of old and new footage.[4] He also said the movie will serve as a celebration of the entire franchise, bringing back the best bits of the TV show and previous movies, along with brand new ones, and never-before-seen footage.[17] Bam Margera, who was fired from the production of Jackass Forever, will only appear in the new movie through archived footage.[5] Margera later said that he will not film new scenes for the upcoming film, but gave permission to use older unused footage.[18]
Knoxville said this will be the last Jackass film. "This is the natural place to end", he said.[19] He also said that this movie will not have a .5 sequel, making this the second Jackass film without a .5 version, after Jackass: The Movie (2002).[20]
Filming
Principal photography started in late February 2026, with the entire main cast of Jackass Forever returning, except Eric Manaka[failed verification], and took place in Los Angeles, California.[9] The opening sequence was filmed for five days, along with some smaller bits.[21] Principal photography wrapped on March 13, 2026,[22] with one final day of filming on April 17, 2026, in Simi Valley, California.[23] Producer Spike Jonze directed the opening and ending sequences.[20]
Explosions expert Tory Belleci was on set for a portion of filming, and some of his ideas were filmed. He also came up with the idea of surfing with dynamite after testing the idea for MythBusters. The stunt was ultimately scrapped as it was determined to be logistically improbable.[24]
They also tried to do a stunt with Dave England's one testicle, by wanting to add a ball that lights up in the empty spot. This was also scrapped because the lawyers did not allow it to be filmed.[25]
Injuries
Dave England ruptured a tendon in his right middle finger by unknowingly trying to dig a coin out of Zach Holmes' anus.[25] Wee Man got injured during the opening sequence, and was sore for three weeks afterwards.[26] Poopies was knocked unconscious after getting tackled by an American football player.[26]
Marketing
On April 10, 2026, Johnny Knoxville announced a charity sweepstakes, where the movie's official title was announced as Jackass: Best and Last.[27] He presented the first official trailer at CinemaCon on April 16, 2026.[8] The first trailer was released online on April 27, 2026.[28]
On June 6, 2026, Wee Man, Steve-O, Poopies, and Jasper Dolphin appeared on an IGN livestream to promote the movie.[29] On the same date, a block party was held with most of the main cast and film crew on the Paramount Pictures studio in Los Angeles, California.[30]
On June 13, 2026, a Jackass movie marathon was held in the Fox Westwood Village Theater, where every theatrical mainline Jackass movie was shown. It was hosted by Knoxville, Wee Man, Preston Lacy, Dave England, and director and producer Jeff Tremaine.[31]
On June 15, 2026, eleven days before its theatrical release, a special screening of Jackass: Best and Last was held at BFI IMAX in London, England. It was hosted by Knoxville, Chris Pontius, and Tremaine.[32]
Release
The film is scheduled for theatrical release on June 26, 2026, in the United States.[33]
