The Jackass franchise has come to an end with the release of ‘Jackass: Best and Last’, a movie that features a mix of old and new stunts. The film is a sad but fitting end to the extreme stunt franchise that was vanquished not by imagination but time.
The Final Movie
The movie begins with a 1998 scene of Johnny Knoxville shooting himself in the chest with a 38-caliber Smith & Wesson handgun, protected only by a Kevlar vest and some girlie magazines for padding. The movie ends with the gang’s age showing, as they undergo stunts that are less involved than their previous ones.
New stunts in the movie include Sean ‘Poopies’ McInerney having so much hyaluronic acid injected into his lips that he resembles a cracked Real Housewife, and a funny sequence in which a feisty ram in a small room repeatedly butts Davon ‘Jasper’ Wilson.
The movie also features reruns of really funny clips, like the time they used air horns to ruffle the feathers of elderly golfers in 2002, or when Knoxville, dressed in an orange jail jumpsuit and handcuffs, went into a hardware store looking for a hacksaw, creating a real police emergency in 2000.
