Ahhh, the perfect intersection between film and professional wrestling. Recently, Jackass mainstay and frequent nut-shot recipient Johnny Knoxille appeared on WWE Smackdown where he qualified for the Royal Rumble. For those who don’t know, the Royal Rumble is a 30-man event in which the only way to lose is to be thrown over the top rope down to the concrete. This has set up the perfect scenario for Knoxville to be dropped onto his head, ripped in half by ring cables, or to have his face squished between the steel gates. And all to help promote the franchise’s latest film, Jackass Forever.
What’s there to say about this? Knoxville, Steve-O, Chris Pontius, and the gang are a lot older; the previous film was back in 2010, and presumably, their bones are a lot more brittle. How any of these guys survived this physical onslaught is a question for the ages.
Here’s the synopsis: Celebrating the joy of being back together with your best friends and a perfectly executed shot to the dingdong, the original jackass crew return for another round of hilarious, wildly absurd, and often dangerous displays of comedy with a little help from some exciting new cast. Johnny and the team push the envelope even further in jackass forever.
Jackass Forever hits theaters on February 4th.
