Johnny Knoxville, Chris Pontius and the director Jeff Tremaine brought Jackass: Best and Last, the final film in the series, to the BFI IMAX for a UK special screening.
Johnny Knoxville, who co-created Jackass for MTV, brought Jackass: Best and Last to the BFI IMAX on the South Bank for its UK special screening on Monday 15 June 2026. Chris Pontius and the director Jeff Tremaine joined him.
Knoxville was born Philip John Clapp in Knoxville, Tennessee, in 1971. He has credited a cousin’s gift of Jack Kerouac’s On the Road, read at fourteen, with turning him toward performing.
He co-created the show in 2000 and took it into cinemas in 2002, with further films through Jackass Forever in 2022. Along the way he took roles in Men in Black II, The Dukes of Hazzard and Lords of Dogtown.
Best and Last is the fifth and final main film in the series, directed by Tremaine. It sets new stunts beside the series’ greatest hits, with footage never shown before, and brings back Steve-O, Wee Man, Dave England, Preston Lacy and Jasper Dolphin.
Paramount Pictures hosted the evening, and Knoxville, Pontius and Tremaine spoke on stage in the auditorium before the screening. The film opened in British cinemas on 26 June.
