The new Jackass film includes a stunt that viewers are calling the "most disgusting thing they've ever seen" in a movie theater.
Jackass: Best and Last, the fifth and final movie in the series, serves as a farewell to Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O, Wee Man, and the rest of the group.
The film features previously unseen archival footage, as well as several newly filmed stunts that show that the cast still has plenty of revolting ideas.
The use of archive footage also allows Bam Margera to appear in the film despite his highly publicized feud with Knoxville.
Although there are plenty of outrageous moments throughout the movie, one new stunt has become the scene everyone is talking about.
The sequence shows Steve-O and other cast members drinking high-strength laxatives before taking part in a twisted version of Twister, referred to as "human pretzel" for legal reasons.
What follows are widespread accidents, graphic close-up shots, an overpowering smell, and, eventually, vomiting from those involved.
Longtime director and co-creator Jeff Tremaine confessed to Metro at the film's London BFI IMAX premiere that even he thought the stunt had gone too far.
"It's foul," he said. "I did come up with that one, and I'm not proud of it. We weren't even editing it because it was so disgusting and I felt that we already had enough gross stuff already in the film."
"I just left it on the editing floor until I was reminded about it," he added.
Despite his reservations, Tremaine revealed someone at the studio ultimately rescued the sequence.
"But I just didn't want to get rid of it. There was a certain Paramount executive that insisted that we put that in the movie," he revealed.
The gamble appears to have paid off, although perhaps not for viewers with weak stomachs.
One person wrote on X: "New Jackass has a poop bit that is probably the most disgusting thing I've ever seen in a movie theater."
Another user replied: "This is why no one in my generation (zoomer) watches jackass, it’s just kinda… gross?"
A third added: "The 'human pretzel' from the latest Jackass is the closest I’ve ever gotten to throwing up at a movie."
A fourth chimed in: "I was so sick all night. I skipped dinner."
One viewer on Reddit revealed just how badly the scene went down during their screening: "The game of twister was pretty insane. My wife had to run out of the theater room for that one lol."
While Jackass has never shied away from dangerous or stomach-churning stunts, Knoxville says this film truly marks the end of the franchise.
"I've said before that we're finished, but this is really it," the 55-year-old revealed. "It feels like a good place to end. We wanted to go out on our own terms, and it feels like we have with this film."
As for what's next, Knoxville revealed he's become a huge fan of The Traitors: "Oh my god, I just love that show. We've watched at least 12 different countries...I've got through all the UK ones. It's fantastic."
"What I would love to do is get all the Jackass cast in and do a Jackass/Traitors spin-off. Because what you need to be a good Traitor… none of us possess," he joked.
