The premiere of Jackass: Best and Last showcased a dazzling drone display that paid homage to the franchise’s most iconic stunts. The aerial performance featured the word “FART” illuminated in bright letters above a silhouette of a cast member, accompanied by fireworks that mimicked a fiery burst of gas.
As the latest and final movie in the Jackass series opens in theaters today, the opening event highlighted key moments from the original show and its five feature films. The drone tableau included the classic skull-and-crutches emblem, a towering hand striking Johnny Knoxville, a mobile toilet bursting, and the commemorated “FART” scene, each rendered with vivid light and pyrotechnics.
Originally airing on television in the early 2000s, Jackass was built around a tight-knit crew performing dangerous, comedic, and borderline grotesque stunts. The series’ popularity spurred careers for stars like Johnny Knoxville and Steve-O, and launched a film franchise beginning with 2002’s Jackass: The Movie.

In addition to the main releases, the franchise has offered four straight‑to‑video alternative cuts, the spin‑off film Bad Grandpa, and a series of television specials. Cast members have also pursued individual projects: Bam Margera led Long Live La Bam, while Steve-O and Chris Pontius highlighted their talents in the nature‑focused Wildboyz.
Industry publications have delivered mixed reviews. NME awarded Jackass: Best and Last three stars, noting the bittersweet tone as Knoxville punctuates the film’s finale with a memorable, albeit humorously gross, remix of “Twister.” Meanwhile, Bam Margera returned via archival footage after a brief absence caused by contractual disputes in the previous installment.
