The much-anticipated Jackass 4 finally has an official title. Jackass Forever will be the fourth film in the series and the first in nearly a decade. Along with the announcement, Paramount released some exclusive first images of the new film, along with the promise of a trailer that will be dropping sometime next week.

Jackass Forever will see Johnny Knoxville and the original crew, along with some new faces, doing what they do best: insane and disgusting stunts. The official synopsis reads, "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." The new Jackass 4 images show many of the original cast members, including Knoxville, Ehren McGhehey, Preston Lacy, Steve-O, Dave England, Wee Man, and Chris Pontius, engaging in what can only be described as their signature style of comedy.

First, there's Knoxville getting tossed into the air by a raging bull. The Jackass crew have consistently gone up against angry charging bulls, most notably in the hilariously destructive opening credits of the second film, Jackass Number Two. We also see two members of the crew wearing a bizarre contraption on their heads that definitely promises something disgusting. Newcomer Sean "Poopies" McInerny (who recently got bitten by a shark in a stunt gone wrong) faces down a snake while dressed as a mime, which doesn't seem like it's gonna end well for poor Poopie. Lastly, we can also see Knoxville being fired into the air out of a cannon over a body of water, another classic stunt.

Premiering twenty-one years ago on MTV, Jackass began as TV series which featured Knoxville and the gang pulling off wild and dangerous stunts rivaling blockbusters like Mission: Impossible, playing pranks on one another, and putting their lives in danger for our entertainment. The show quickly became popular among the MTV generation.

A true staple of the early 2000s, Jackass managed to tap into a certain destructive and lackadaisical mindset of the supposed "slacker" generation. This was before the days of YouTube, so viral videos weren't really a thing yet. The Jackass crew were truly pioneers of the prank and stunt entertainment that we can now see broadcast on social media. Even famous YouTubers such as The Try Guys owe their style and craft to Jackass.

However, members such as Steve-O have actually criticized some of the 'prank' YouTubers of today, sighting their willingness to put others in danger and cause actual harm. While nothing was off-limits for the cast of Jackass, they always made themselves the butt of the joke, only ever capturing the hilarious reactions of everyday people but never wanting to hurt anyone outside of the crew.

Despite its enormous popularity, the show was not without its controversies, with some parents being fearful that their children would try to imitate the dangerous stunts featured on the show. Jackass was canceled after three seasons but would live on in the subsequent feature films: Jackass: The Movie, Jackass Number Two, and Jackass 3D. 

It's been over ten years since the last Jackass movie and it's not hard to think that after the last two years audiences will be craving this kind of escapist and cathartic entertainment. Of course, not every member of the original crew will be featured in Jackass 4. One of the original members of the team, Ryan Dunn, was tragically and suddenly killed in a car accident in 2011. As well, Bam Margera, who went on to create his own reality show Viva La Bam off the success of Jackass, was fired from the film due to his struggles with substance abuse.

According to KnoxvilleJackass 4 will be the final film in the franchise, but considering the fact that many of the original cast members are now middle-aged, they arguably deserve a break. Here's hoping Jackass Forever will give these daring, crazy MTV-era entertainers the appropriate send-off they deserve.

Jackass Forever will open in theatres on October 22nd, 2021.
