What Will Jackass Forever Be About?
Audiences can expect to see the cast up to their regular, wild antics. The trailer, though, does not allude to any of the more gross skits for which the team is known.
With eleven years between the third and fourth films, fans of the original series are wondering if they will see the same craziness in the stunts with a cast who have aged over a decade. That query can be answered with the following filming incidents; During the two days of test filming, professional skateboarder Aaron “Jaws” Homoki broke his wrist. Following this incident, the team received a green light to start filming.
Within two days both Johnny Knoxville and Steve-O were hospitalized for on-set injuries. While the context for these injuries was not disclosed we will definitely see what caused them upon the film’s release. Additionally, in an interview with his podcast The Nine Club, Wee-Man stated that Jackass Forever “hurt the most”, so it is not likely the team has lowered their standards of reckless hilarity.
In the trailer we see Johnny Knoxville going face to face with a bull for the fourth time in the Jackass film series. This is one of the many ways that the fourth installment will pay homage to earlier skits. In addition, Knoxville will be making an appearance as his Bad Grandpa character.
