The Jackass crew, a group of fearless pranksters, are gearing up for their final film, Jackass: Best and Last, set to hit theaters on June 26, 2026. This marks the end of an era for the iconic series, which has been a wild ride since its inception. The crew, including Steve-O, Wee Man, Poopies, and Jasper, recently gathered at IGN Live 2026 to reflect on their journey and the impact of their antics.
Steve-O, the ringleader of the group, humorously admits that every Jackass movie has supposedly been the last, but this time it's for real. He describes the upcoming film as a "beautiful celebration of the entire franchise." When asked about the infamous scene where a robot stick its finger up his ass, Steve-O exclaimed, "It was important!" He's determined to make putting things up his butts cool again.
Jasper and Poopies, newcomers to the series in Jackass Forever, shared their excitement about returning for Best and Last. Jasper admitted he barely survived the fourth installment, but Poopies expressed eagerness to prove themselves and make the original crew proud. They both revealed their personal favorite moments from Jackass history, like Wee Man's "Yoga Ball" and Steve-O's "Alligator Tightrope." These stunts showcase the crew's fearless approach to entertainment.
The evolution of Jackass from a scrappy series shot on video to a production powerhouse with semi-trucks and trailers is notable. Wee Man emphasized that the performing level remains the same: "Push record, do what you're gonna do." However, Steve-O noted the significant growth in production, from a single video camera to a full-scale production.
The crew's interactions with their audience are a highlight of the Jackass experience. Poopies and Jasper reminisced about growing up as fans, watching the early movies with their parents, who were often confused but eventually joined in on the fun. Jasper's dad's reaction to the series, "What the fk is this?! What is this st?" is a memorable one, as it led to his son's involvement in the series.
Despite the messy situations they find themselves in, covered in feces and kicked in the nuts, the crew maintains a positive outlook. Steve-O believes that being covered in s**t strengthens the immune system, and Wee Man advises to relax and let go when dealing with pain. These quotes showcase the crew's resilient and lighthearted approach to their work.
As the Jackass movies come to an end, Steve-O reflects on the series' impact. He believes that entertainment is crucial for distracting people from their problems, even if it's just for a moment. Jackass: Best and Last will be a fitting conclusion to the franchise, offering a celebration of the crew's fearless spirit and their ability to bring laughter to audiences worldwide.
