They're back! The fourth and final Jackass film, titled Jackass Forever, is due to land on our screens on October 22nd, per NME.
"Celebrating the joy of being back together with your best friends and a perfectly executed shot to the dingdong, the original Jackass crew return for another round of hilarious, wildly absurd, and often dangerous displays of comedy with a little help from some exciting new cast," a press statement accompanying the announcement read.
To celebrate the release date, and to provide you with a chuckle ahead of what is sure to be a rollercoaster of wild and reckless stunts, we took a look back at 10 of the craziest Jackass stunts.
Enjoy!
The Toro Totter was perhaps one of the crew's most toe-curling stunts. It featured a large 4-way seesaw, which sat Bam Margera, Ryan Dunn, Johnny Knoxville, and Chris Pontius, as they all jumped up and down to see who could last the longest — while a charged up bull ran around.
The bull, naturally, caused chaos in just 30 seconds. Dunn jumped off and threw himself into a wall, Bam immediately hopped off, and Pontius looked visibly terrified as he clamoured to stay aloft, and out of the animal's crosshairs.
Knoxville was the last man standing, though, he nearly got gored. The relief on their faces afterwards was palpable.
In one of their more painful-looking gaffes, Knoxville and Wee Man dressed up in police outfits, while the others donned prison ensembles. They had to go through a hallway with over 15 stun guns and cattle prods dangling from the ceiling.
Bam attempts to jump over the wooden plans, rather than crawling under them, and gets tased while in the air — the force of which propels him to the end. Unpleasant to say the least...
The High Five sees an absolutely giant hand smack into the crew — while they're carrying soup, or otherwise indisposed.
Of course, they pushed it even further, when they added a giant bag of flour that exploded on contact with its victim. But the funniest bit in this stunt is when Bam gets knocked out cold — he seriously goes down like a sack of potatoes.
A truly gross prank if ever there was one. The gang launched Steve-O into the air while sitting inside a very well-used portable toilet. As a crane lifted the cord to the portaloo up, Steve-O and all the many contents of the toilet flew right up into the sky.
Don't watch this one while eating your lunch — you've been warned.
It makes sense that Dave England once dubbed himself "the world's first professional shi**er".
In this skit, which is arguably one of the crew's simplest but most effective, Dave walked into a hardware store and took a dump straight into one of the display toilets.
Everyone seemed too shocked to comprehend what's actually happening, and Dave simply said "Oh, I'm sorry," and carried right on...
Pontius, aka Party Boy, walked into an electronics store in Japan and asked if he could test a television to check the audio quality. He proceeds to play a disc with the party boy theme, and then takes off his clothes, and starts dancing.
The assistant runs away, a businessman is distressed, and a police officer's cap gets stolen. It's funnier than it sounds, I promise.
It's amazing that they actually pulled this one off, but that's Jackass for you. By the early 2000's Jackass had become such a phenomenon that A-listers were literally begging to be involved. The third, and final season, was coming to an end when Knoxville bumped into Brad Pitt at director Spike Jonze's house.
"He was saying he really wanted to do something with us," Knoxville told MTV News. "We were filming the last episode. At the time, we didn’t even have any ideas — just that he wanted to be on the show."
And that's when The Abduction came from. Again, it's simple: Pitt — arguably one of the most famous actors in the world — gets kidnapped by men in ski masks while in line at Pink's Hot Dogs. He's thrown into a van while onlookers look on, and call the police saying: "Brad Pitt was in line and he was just kidnapped and thrown into a van. I'm really not kidding."
This stunt is pretty self-explanatory. Ryan Dunn places a toy car into his anus, and then goes to get an X-ray, complaining that he's been finding it difficult to walk.
The doctor is absolutely baffled, naturally...
One of boxing's biggest heavyweights, Butterbean, was challenged to a fight in a department store with Knoxville.
It was never, ever going to go well, was it? Butterbean naturally wipes out Knoxville — all in the name of entertainment.
If you're scared of snakes, look away.
In this skit, Dunn and Knoxvwille get into a ball pit that has two giant anacondas in it.
One of them starts wrapping themselves around Dunn, and holding him down. Speaking about the stunt, Wee Man told Rolling Stone: "You hear Dunn's like, "Uhh!" — and you see him fall out of the side just to get the snake off of him. It was intense. Then Knoxville gets bit. I got out of it pretty easy because there was only two in there."
"I had electric tape around my wrists because I didn’t want the snake to bite through my arteries. Then after we shot, the guy was like, 'One of these snakes took someone's calf muscle the other day.' Thanks for telling me afterwards," Knoxville added.
