**Fi1m score: 72** · Critics 70 from 13 reviews

*In a sentence:* A reunion for men whose fondest memories need a medical explanation

> *Jackass: Best and Last* is funny, affectionate and too reliant on old footage. The friendships still justify an evening, but the new stunts do not quite give this farewell enough of its own.

## Synopsis

Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O and Chris Pontius join the *Jackass* crew for a farewell combining new stunts, interviews and footage from the group’s past. Jeff Tremaine directs, with Jason ‘Wee Man’ Acuña, Dave England, Preston Lacy and Ehren McGhehey among those appearing as themselves. Bam Margera appears in archive footage. The men revisit their shared history of physical punishment and gross-out comedy as the effects of ageing become harder to ignore. The film moves between the crew’s earlier exploits and their continuing appetite for stunts, with their friendships providing the link between old material and new.

## Review

Jeff Tremaine’s *Jackass: Best and Last* is a good evening for anyone already fond of these men, though it is a modest farewell. It gathers new stunts, old footage and outtakes, and trusts the pleasure of seeing the crew together to carry the gaps. Much of the time, that trust is justified. The attraction is still watching people willingly do something appalling while their friends find it funny, and the film is sensible enough not to pretend that this needs a grander explanation.

Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O and Chris Pontius remain good company because there is so little dignity to defend. Nobody has to preserve the impression that he is the clever one, and the collective laughter often makes a stunt funnier than its premise ought to allow. We laughed, then felt slightly ashamed of ourselves. The pleasure these friends take in one another’s physical discomfort is difficult not to share, and their willingness to join in keeps the material from becoming unpleasant.

Dimitry Elyashkevich’s images make the physical punishment easy to follow, which matters more here than making anybody look handsome. We need to understand the foolish thing someone has agreed to do before we can enjoy the reaction. Editor Jeff Buchanan has the less grateful task of fitting fresh material around footage that already comes with the audience’s affection attached. The mixture is easy to enjoy, but it repeatedly sends us back to remembered pleasures just when the new film might establish a rhythm of its own.

The old material is the chief limitation. If we recognise a stunt, we also remember the thing we are supposed to be waiting for. That leaves less room for surprise, however welcome the familiar faces are. The newer material does not consistently make up for it, so Buchanan’s editing has to keep borrowing excitement from earlier exploits rather than building anticipation for something we have not seen.

The ageing of the cast makes the old footage more interesting, and Tremaine handles that without turning the film solemn. These men have spent enough time submitting themselves to pain that a return to earlier stunts raises questions about how much more their bodies can take. There is no need for a speech about mortality when the same friends are still volunteering to get hurt. Their continued enjoyment of one another is affecting, though the film sometimes seems to expect recognition alone to produce the same response.

Physical comedy does not owe us refinement, and asking this lot to become respectable would be a peculiar way of saying goodbye. It does owe us surprise, which is where this instalment comes up short. At 92 minutes, it remains a manageable dose of affectionate stupidity, best suited to company already sympathetic to the enterprise. For an evening with friends who share the joke, we would happily put up with the repeats.

*Fi1m score 72, published 14 September 2026.*

## What the critics say

Most critics welcome Jackass: Best and Last as an amusing, unexpectedly tender farewell, with praise clustering around the cast’s enduring camaraderie rather than the novelty of the stunts. The shared laughter and willingness to suffer for a gag remain the chief attractions. The reviews also find feeling in the performers’ ageing bodies: familiar gross-out humour now comes with a clearer sense of the physical cost, giving the mixture of archive footage and new material a wistfulness that generally avoids excessive sentiment.

The main reservation is how heavily the film depends on its past. Even favourable reviews describe a greatest-hits package, with too little fresh material to make this a substantial finale. The spread runs from warm appreciation to outright disappointment: the Los Angeles Times finds the laughter forced and the new material half-hearted, missing the suspense and surprise that most critics still find sufficiently present to enjoy the farewell.

## Straight answers

**Is Jackass: Best and Last worth watching?**

*Jackass: Best and Last* is worth watching for anyone already fond of these men, and we scored it 72. The friendships and the collective laughter still carry an evening, but the new stunts are not strong enough on their own, so the film keeps leaning on old footage. Newcomers will find less to hold them.

**How long is Jackass: Best and Last, and what is it rated?**

*Jackass: Best and Last* runs 1h 32m and is rated 12 by the Medietilsynet in Norway. It is an action and comedy film.

**Where can I watch Jackass: Best and Last in Norway?**

*Jackass: Best and Last* is available to buy from Amazon Prime Video from kr 139.00. Availability is checked daily; the links above go straight to each service.

**How violent or frightening is Jackass: Best and Last, and is it suitable for children?**

*Jackass: Best and Last* carries an 18 certificate and is not suitable for children. It is a film of deliberate physical punishment and gross-out comedy, with the crew willingly hurting themselves while their friends laugh, and the squeamish will find little relief. Its violence is self-inflicted rather than frightening, but there is a great deal of it.

**How does Jackass: Best and Last compare to The General?**

*Jackass: Best and Last* shares an appetite for physical risk with [*The General*](https://film.one/film/the-general), but Buster Keaton turns danger into precisely built comedy while the Jackass crew simply endure it. The Keaton film is the better piece of work, and it is the one to choose for ingenuity. Pick the reunion if you want to watch friends laugh at one another's pain.

- **The Playlist**, Marshall Shaffer (B): The critic calls the film a hilarious highlight reel that captures the crew's enduring spirit of absurd stunts and male camaraderie, even as the performers age.
