Jackass returns for one last ride, hopefully for the sake of the cast, in Jackass Forever and delivers a nostalgic requel of their own full of hilarity and daringness. The fourth entry sees most of the franchise veterans return alongside some new companions and familiar faces from other shows produced by the Jackass crew over the years to perform some of the most dangerous, nerve-shredding, and disgustingly hilarious stunts to date. Not only does Jackass Forever feel like the perfect kind of reunion to watch on the big screen, but it also feels like a culmination of Jackass’ impact creating a full-circle experience that’s heartwarming and meaningful for fans.
Best of all, Jackass Forever delivers some of the most memorable stunts of the entire franchise that fans will adore. While these old dogs brought plenty of new tricks, some fan-favorite stunts were revamped and expanded in interesting ways. Some stunts deliver big-time parodies that put a Jackass spin on some of the most notable films of all time and others showed some unforgettably gruesome injuries. Jackass Forever had some of the wildest stunts of all the films that made it the perfect send-off for Hollywood’s wildest jackasses.
"The Cup Test"
Back in the original Jackass tv series, Johnny Knoxville performed “The Cup Test,” where his groin was pummeled by kids, pool balls, tennis balls, and more while wearing a cup.
The bit returned in Jackass Forever with Ehren McGhehey now brandishing a cup for some punishment and boy did it leave a mark. The pre-released clip of current UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou unleashing a powerful blow to Ehren’s crotch was devastating, but only the beginning as more professional athletes appear to deliver swift shots, and it contains the most gruesome on-screen injury of all time.
'Godzilla' Opening
The Jackass crew always love delivering their spin on a popular movie franchise and Jackass Forever’s opening is a testament to that with the Godzilla-styled opening.
Everything about this opening is perfect. From the reveal of what this “Godzilla” creature really is to all the great nods and cameos littered throughout, the opening kicks things off on the right foot. It’s equal parts disgusting and hilarious, a combination that’s right at home with Jackass.
The New “Bee-Kini”
Remember when Knoxville did the “Bee-kini” bit in the Jackass tv series? Well, Steve-O completely one-uped him in Jackass Forever by turning his junk into a hive.
Just by putting the queen bee by his package, Steve-O attracts the whole hive and pays the price in receiving bee stings where no man wants to. It’s terrifying to hear Steve-O’s screams of pain, yet slightly hilarious as the hive moves in funny ways when he’s fidgeting around.
Devil Worshipers Return

If you’re a Wildboyz fan, you’ll be absolutely thrilled to see Steve-O and Chris Pontius’ devil worshiper characters return and while they aren’t worshiping Tasmanian Devils anymore, their new muse is certainly a terror for Wee-Man.
The devil worshipers unleash their beloved vulture upon Wee-Man, who is bound and pecked at relentlessly. It’s a stunt that feels like a classic Jackass bit that brings some Wildboyz flair into it — including that nasty-looking, yet oddly adorable scavenger bird.
Electric Tap Dancing
Jackass Forever paid homage to a lot of what the Jackass crew has created outside of Jackass and while it was great that Loiter Squad member Jasper Dolphin got to join the main crew, it was even better that Tyler the Creator joined in on an electric tap-dancing bit.
With Tyler on the piano not really playing music, the rest of the guys attempted a choreographed routine while receiving some electric shocks that put a different kind of pep in their step. It’s hilarious to watch everyone spill onto the floor when they’re zapped and Preston Lacy jiggles around. Best of all, neither Tyler nor director Jeff Tremaine escapes without getting a shock themselves.
'Silence of the Lambs'

If the Jackass crew is involved in a bit basically is titled “Hell: Jackass Edition,” you know it’s going to be tortuous and their ode to the night vision sequence in Silence of the Lambs is absolute hell.
A great mix of parody and prank, most of the crew is lured into a room thinking that they’re watching Knoxville just play with venomous snakes but end up getting trapped in a room with the lights turned off and Knoxville absolutely torturing everyone with electric shocks, mousetraps, and gaslighting. It’s so bad that Dave England’s nearly ready to live in this room afterward out of fear something is waiting for him outside.
Underwater Fart Explosion

It’s always great to see the Jackass crew accomplish something they’ve been attempting to do for years, no matter how juvenile it may be, and the underwater fart explosion bit feels like a momentous moment for them.
The goal of the bit is for someone to light a fire/explosion underwater with the methane from their farts. Yes, it’s just as dumb and ridiculous as you could imagine, but the suspense of Steve-O attempting to achieve this feat is palpable, and the result makes you want to cheer right along with the crew.
“The Triple Wedgie”

In the first Jackass movie, fans saw the “Bungie Wedgie” stunt performed by Raab Himself, but here, a simple wedgie is not only tripled but taken to new heights.
The combination of Preston, Wee-Man, and newbie Zach Holmes makes for a bungie wedgie unlike anyone’s seen before. As said by Knoxville, Wee-Man looks like an angel hanging in the air with his tighty whities stretched so high, they look like angel wings.
“Vomitron”
Honestly, for most of Jackass Forever, your kind of perplexed at the lack of vomit that’s usually seen on-screen, and then the film’s finale comes, titled the “Vomitron,” and you go “ah, there it is.”
The “Vomitron” delivers the vomiting many fans would expect from the crew after chugging milk while riding a spinning deathtrap, but it isn’t just vomiting. It’s a finale filled with paintball battalions, massive explosions, and plenty of pain that’s fitting for a Jackass finale.
“The Quiet Game”
“The Quiet Game” is the perfect kind of game to come from the Jackass think tank with how it sees Steve-O and newbies Poopies and Rachel Wolfson partake in some terrifying dares without making a peep.
The trio being dressed as mimes would initially make you think this is going to be a light-hearted bit, but once you see the challenges of stun gun licking, snake kissing, and a shin-destroyed guillotine, it becomes no laughing matter.
