After 25 Years, 'Jackass' Is Ready for One Final Hurrah

Paramount has announced *jackass: best and last*, marking the franchise’s 25th anniversary with a final theatrical release on June 26. The film reunites Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O, Chris Pontius, and other original cast members for one last set of stunts and behind-the-scenes reflections. Director Jeff Tremaine described the project as both a celebration and farewell, blending new footage with fan-favorite moments from the franchise’s history.

The film serves as a retrospective of the group’s enduring friendships and creative partnerships, which began in the late 1990s with MTV’s *Jackass*. Knoxville noted that the cast’s dynamic has evolved over decades, with the new project highlighting their growth while preserving the franchise’s signature absurdity. Tremaine added that the reunion was initially intended to commemorate the anniversary but evolved into a final hurrah for the team.

Knoxville acknowledged the physical toll of stunts, citing 16 concussions as a factor in the franchise’s conclusion. He described his reduced role in the film, shifting from performing dangerous stunts to organizing the chaos as the group’s ringleader. The cast’s camaraderie remains central, with Tremaine emphasizing the enduring appeal of their shared creativity and friendship.

For fans, *jackass: best and last* offers a chance to relive the franchise’s legacy in theaters. Knoxville framed the film as a love letter to the audience, urging viewers to experience it collectively for maximum impact. Tickets are available at jackassmovie.com, with the film opening exclusively in theaters on June 26.
