Jackass is fucking back. I’m the perfect age for Jackass. When the second movie was released, I was 13, and it was insane to watch grown men do stupid shit. The difference was they were doing the most insane shit, compared to my friends and me, who thought that jumping off a roof into snow, climbing in a 50-gallon drum rolling down a hill was the most badass thing. I was ready to shed a tear at the beginning when they were doing the slow music, and I was ready to see a video of Ryan Dunn. That didn’t happen, and it’s defiantly going to be weird without Dunn or Bam. If you don’t know why Bam isn’t in Jackass Forever, I wrote about it before. The original crew is pushing 50, so they can’t keep doing the most insane shit, so they brought in new blood.
We have Jasper Dolphin, who is the founding member of Odd Future. Odd Future’s most famous member is Tyler The Creator. In the trailer, we see Jasper use a parachute and launch off a ramp.
I’m assuming that Machine Gun Kelly and Eric Andre are just there for one stunt, but regardless we have the flying hands and inflatable punches back. This time instead of Knoxville hiding behind a wall, we have bikes incorporated. Then with the inflatable punch instead of the guys reading fan mail, we have Eric Andre just trying to buy something from a truck.
Sean McInerney, aka Poopsies, seems like the new superstar. In the trailer, we see him getting bitten in the face by a snake. After the filming was done, he had an emotional video about getting bitten by a FUCKING shark for Discovery’s Shark Week. The video is long, but his story is very emotional.
Lastly, for new members, we have Zach Holmes, aka Zackass from Too Stupid To Die. I always thought of him as a knock-off of Jackass, who wasn’t as good as the OG’s, but he has grown on me after watching his insane stunts. We see him launching Knoxville into the ceiling at a mattress store, flying off a ramp that is wedged upwards with humans, launching off of an extreme slip and slide, and him jumping off a ledge with a shitty kite that defiantly can’t support his weight. This is the ultimate success story, be inspired by your heroes, do your own thing, and then get big enough to join your heroes.
Oh, before I get to the OG cast, I have no idea who this woman is, but if she puts her tongue on that taser, she’s the real MVP. What kind of psycho shit is that?
It wouldn’t be Jackass without Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O, Wee Man, Chris Pontius, Dave England, Danger Ehren, and Preston Lacey. The beginning of the trailer opens with Knoxville being shot out of a cannon. We see the Bad Grandpa character back as Knoxville flies through the ceiling in a mattress store, and Jackass’s favorite animal, a bull, is back as it sends Knoxville through the air.
We don’t see any stunts with Wee Man or Preston Lacey, but I bet we see Preston chasing Wee Man around or something. Dave England will probably do something with shit that’ll be hilarious. We do see him sitting on a toilet and being exploded from it.
We don’t see any stunts from Steve-O, but I guarantee he’ll do a bunch of crazy shit. We see him sitting in a wheelchair and screaming in pain from something that has to do with bees.
I don’t want to wish away the summer, but I can’t fucking wait for October 22nd. Will you be going to the movie theater to see Jackass Forever?
