Out June 26th

[Mad Dog McMutt]

I don't like the fact that half of the movie is supposed to be footage of previous clips that we have already seen.

[sdp]

I rewatched the first movie like last year and barely laughed. I never watched any of the sequels, were they any good or should I not even give them a chance if the first one didn't connect?
I mean I was the biggest Jackass fan when I was 12/13, kinda grew out of it by the time the first movie was out.

[ZariusTwo]

The first movie was great, but yeah, I was done with it after that.

There were clones of it like Dirty Sanchez that were much, much worse and made Jackass look thoroughly tame.

[Andrew NDB]

I just wish they would keep on making Bad Grandpa skits forever. That was always gold.

I like all of the movies, but they kind of got worse with each installment. I'm still going to watch number 5.

I generally like the crazy stunt stuff and some of the gross-out stuff (like launching the porta-potty full of poo into the air with Steve-O in it) but I don't really enjoy at all the "extreme pain" stuff. Like making an alligator bite nipples and stuff like that.

[Andrew NDB]

Saw it. It's not really much of anything... probably 65% of it is just skits we've already seen, a couple ones from way back that have never been seen but aren't great, and then some pretty low-risk new stuff. I thought at least there would be some more Bad Grandpa material but the only skit with him is the strip club one they re-used from the Bad Grandpa movie. There's Bam Margera material in there with old stuff but I didn't see him in any of the new material so I guess he's still persona non grata, even for this.

If this is all they wanted to do then yeah, might as well just officially end it.

Damn that’s too bad. Guess they are getting too old to do a ton of crazy **** now

Also, it becomes a recurring thing in the new movie with different cast members badgering Johnny Knoxville about, "Johnny, you've said before that this is the last one and we always do one more... is this REALLY the last one??!" and he keeps saying yes. Yet I don't see any reason why all these people who are clearly still enthused to keep doing this stuff can't just bring in new people and keep the whole thing going. Knoxville can remain the MC at least or just go away entirely. I see 0 things stopping this from happening.

And obviously the budget of this one was low (but somehow the same as Jackass 4? when there is like barely any new material at all?) but... yeesh, nobody is turning up for this.

Oh wow. In the last one, I thought they were shaping up the new generation and then they would retire and have the new guys take over kind of thing. That is what I was expecting for this one. I wouldn’t be surprised if they keep making them just for the money. I have actually heard from a couple people that this wasn’t great unfortunately. I will still watch it eventually because I have watched them all, but I am not surprised.

Yeah, and none of those new people are even in this. I always figured Jackass would always be this thing that would spit out a movie every 5 or so years with whoever from the old guard willing to do stuff (if not stunts, then gross-out stuff that won't injure them) and whoever wasn't would just be replaced by younger guys willing to do whatever. Instead this one is just like, "Here are 3 or 4 new lame things us existing old guys are willing to do, then remember all the good times? The way better stunts over the years? Here's a clipshow."

[Daytona]

Yeah it was kinda weak but I’m not really mad at it or anything. It’s hard to fault them when they’re still doing **** I’d never put myself through.

Oh I get you, and no, I'm not mad at it either. I sat there with the wife and pretty much laughed at all of it, even all the bits I groaned at like, "REALLY??! Clips from the VERY LAST MOVIE?!" It was still funny.

I think despite preconceptions from fans/audiences, it is designed as a goodbye to the old guard. There may be a Jackass: The Next Generation later on, but this is intended to firmly plant a guardrail for the end of the old.

Sidenote: Idle googling... did you know Johnny Knoxville's wife who divorced him not far into Jackass's beginnings gets 50% of all of his Jackass earnings forever? Man. Like, man.

Wow. Completely agree. That’s super disappointing

Maybe I will just skip it all together then to be honest. Doesn’t sound like it’s worth watching

I’m on a roll with decent movies lately. Backrooms and Obsession were both decent. I don’t want to ruin my streak lmao

Although I made my wife watch TimeCop and she hated it and said I ruined the streak lmao
