I had a moment of genuine surprise when I looked up the Rotten Tomatoes score for Jackass: Best and Last and saw 93%. Not because the movie is bad. But because nobody ever expected a bunch of middle-aged men getting hit by bulls and sitting in porta-potties to be described by professional film critics as “poignant.” And yet here we are.
Twenty-six years. Five movies. One grocery cart, repeatedly. If you have somehow missed the entire Jackass era and this is your entry point, I respect the chaos of that decision. If you grew up watching these idiots and feel some inexplicable emotional pull toward this farewell film, I completely understand that too. Either way, you want to know where to watch Jackass: Best and Last, and I have every answer you need right below.

What actually happens in Jackass: Best and Last?
Here is where things get interesting.
This is not just a new stunts movie. It is also not just a clip show. The movie is a mix of old and new footage, bringing back the biggest stunts and pranks from the franchise, as well as brand new ones, and never-before-seen footage.
The selection of the “greatest hits” includes some brief hits, some of the most memorable Jackass moments of all time alongside newer content. You will get to revisit “Butt X-Ray” from the original movie, “Silence of the Lambs” from Jackass Forever, and “Poo Cocktail Supreme” from Jackass 3, a bit so awful it actually made people nauseous when it played in 3D.
The new stunts lean into something the older films never had to deal with: the fact that these guys are now in their fifties. There are pranks involving prostate exams and other precautionary health measures, with amusing behind-the-scenes footage beforehand, and Johnny Knoxville acknowledging that this is what Jackass looks like with jackasses in their 50s.
During production of Jackass Forever, Knoxville was pummeled by a bull, leaving him with a brain hemorrhage, concussion, broken wrist, and broken rib. “I can’t do anything where I can get another concussion,” Knoxville said. That context matters a lot when watching this final film. The stunts hit differently when you know the physical cost that came before them.
As for the ending: the opening sequence begins in 1998 with a young Johnny Knoxville, and in its conclusion, the grocery cart crashes through a sign that reads “The End,” rolls off a steep hill, and explodes at the bottom. The occupants are revealed to be puppets as the main cast watches the cart fall from afar. Stay for the post-credits scene too – it features Dave England playing with a door stopper, as seen on the TV series. Which is about as perfect a final note as anyone could have written.

The Full Cast of Jackass: Best and Last
In addition to Knoxville, familiar favorites join, including Steve-O, Chris Pontius, Wee Man (Jason Acuña), Dave England, Danger Ehren (Ehren McGhehey), Preston Lacy, Rachel Wolfson, Jasper, Dark Shark (Compston Wilson), Poopies (Sean McInerney), and Zach Holmes.
Here is the full main cast:
| Cast Member | Real Name | Role in the Franchise |
| Johnny Knoxville | Philip John Clapp | Creator and ringleader |
| Steve-O | Stephen Gilchrist Glover | Original cast member |
| Chris Pontius | Chris Pontius | Original cast member |
| Wee Man | Jason Acuña | Original cast member |
| Dave England | Dave England | Original cast member |
| Danger Ehren | Ehren McGhehey | Original cast member |
| Preston Lacy | Preston Lacy | Original cast member |
| Rachel Wolfson | Rachel Wolfson | Joined in Jackass Forever |
| Jasper | Davon “Jasper” Wilson | Joined in Jackass Forever |
| Dark Shark | Compston Wilson | Joined in Jackass Forever |
| Poopies | Sean McInerney | Joined in Jackass Forever |
| Zach Holmes | Zach Holmes | Joined in Jackass Forever |
Two notable absences are worth mentioning. Bam Margera, who was fired from the production of Jackass Forever and only appeared in one sketch, was invited but declined to participate in the film and only appears through archive footage, making this the only theatrical Jackass film without his involvement. Old footage of original cast member Ryan Dunn, who died in 2011, is also included.
The inclusion of Dunn’s archival footage is one of the moments critics flagged as genuinely emotional. It is a reminder of what this franchise has actually been through over 25 years.

What critics are saying?
This is the part that should surprise nobody who follows these things and yet somehow still does.
Jackass: Best and Last holds a 93% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, the best score any Jackass project has ever received, with critics using a word that would have seemed absurd applied to this material even a few years ago: “poignant.”
Variety called the film “an amusing, slightly wistful farewell,” noting that the casting of middle-aged men in scenarios designed for younger bodies generates an unanticipated emotional register.
Here is a summary of what major publications said:
| Publication | Verdict | Key Quote |
| Rotten Tomatoes | 93% Fresh | “A proper send-off full of gleeful mayhem and a bit of nostalgia” |
| Metacritic | 63/100 | Mixed-to-positive weighted average |
| Variety | Fresh | “An amusing, slightly wistful farewell” |
| The Daily Beast | Fresh | “A deliriously puerile swan song” |
| Screen International | Fresh | “Knoxville’s infectious cackle will get viewers guffawing along with him” |
| Consequence | Fresh | “Particularly well-suited to newcomers” |
| The Hollywood Reporter | Rotten | “Emblematic of the dumbing down of America” |
| Roger Ebert.com | Positive | Praised Steve-O’s contributions and the mix of new and old |
Despite its high Rotten Tomatoes score, individual critic reviews mostly rate the film at 3/5, 6/10, or lower. On Metacritic, the film holds a Metascore of 63 out of 100, putting it below Jackass Forever and Jackass Number Two.
The audience side tells a slightly different story. Audience reviews called the film laugh-out-loud funny and a bittersweet tribute to a legendary crew of lovable idiots. One viewer review from Rotten Tomatoes: “I grew up on Jackass so I thought it was a great throwback. I haven’t laughed like that in a long time. Took my teenager with me and I couldn’t tell if he was laughing at the movie or me, but a win is a win.” That might be the most accurate summary of what this film actually is.

Is this really the Last Jackass Film?
Knoxville says yes, and this time there is more reason to believe him.
On the CinemaCon stage, Knoxville said: “My name is Johnny Knoxville, and I’m going to try to not get emotional. This is the last Jackass film the world will ever see. Jackass means a hell of a lot for me. We knew we were making the last one, so we went extra hard to make sure this was also our best Jackass film ever.”
That is not nothing. The man who has been hit by bulls, tasered, launched from cannons, and subjected to things that should not be described in a family-friendly context says he is done. And the physical reality of his injuries from Jackass Forever backs that up. <cite index=”142-1″>While the Jackass gang as a collective is done with its days of taping outlandish, painful stunts together, their story continues via Jackass the Podcast, a series hosted by Knoxville and Tremaine that they launched in partnership with the Headgum network in June 2026.</cite>
So the franchise is not entirely over. It is just moving to a format where nobody gets a concussion.

Final Thought
There is something genuinely strange about a franchise that started with a man shooting himself in the chest with a revolver for a skateboarding magazine becoming, 28 years later, the subject of reviews using words like “poignant” and “wistful.” But that is exactly where Jackass: Best and Last lands.
Best and Last reunites the lovable Jackasses for one final, bittersweet round of the absurdly dangerous and idiotic stunts — both new and old — that made them cultural icons for millennials and Xennials alike.
If you have a Paramount+ subscription, it is available to watch. If you do not, it is $19.99 to rent elsewhere. Either way, you probably owe it to yourself to see how these guys finally decided to close the book. And to find out exactly what Steve-O did that critics say they cannot even put into a review.
