For a member of the Jackass crew, letting them wave a red flag in front of a bull on camera is like… well, waving a red flag in front of a bull. For decades now, Johnny Knoxville and his crew have been filming deeply dangerous stunts and serving them up as shocking slapstick offerings – and, it turns out, they’ve done it all again. Knoxville confirmed that a fifth Jackass film is arriving this summer on June 26, set to bring some serious pain.
“Well a wang dang and hot damn doodle, we are starting the year off with a bang. We wanted to let you know that this summer Jackass is back!!” Knoxville wrote on Instagram. “More to come but wanted you to hear it from us first!!”
Knoxville and co last desecrated the screen (a compliment, to be clear) with 2022’s Jackass Forever, a raucous and surprisingly sweet fourth outing for the gang, coming 12 years after Jackass 3D. It remains to be seen who is involved in the fifth film – nothing is confirmed, but it’s likely director Jeff Tremaine will return, while regular cast members Steve-O, Danger Ehren, Dave Englund, Chris Pontius, and Wee Man should be back too. Forever brought in several new younger faces too, including Zach Holmes, Rachel Wolfson, and a man known simply as ‘Poopies’; stay tuned for updates on whether they’re still in the cast.
Get ready for more cinematic insanity, and be sure to pencil June 26 in your diary – a Jackass film on the big screen with a writhing, gasping, guffawing audiences is an experience not to be missed.
