@@cloudymccloud6254 I try not to look in to the ins and outs and backstage stuff etc. Whatever they was trying to do, it was funny, i had to turn away a few times because some stunts where too much. The film did its job and that's all that matters.
@@AlecMcOne really because I was disappointed at the stunts actually I felt like they was 1/4 as dangerous as what is normal for them because all the new guys was kinda wimpy and the Og members who are older now did even crazy stunt them still
@@johnnyatkison3066 I wouldn't call them wimpy. One got bitten by a shark (i know it didn't make it to the main movie). The fat one will do anything. Johnny Knoxville did the most dangerous stunt obviously, with the bull. I think Danger Ehren was the main man in this one tho. He was hilarious. So i would agree with that part of what you said. Steve-O has calmed down a lot since the earlier Jackass movies too. I remember him saying something like, "I've come this far, i don't want to die doing a stupid stunt" on a recent interview. Which is understandable.
To be honest, I think it's because they are all relatively more sober now and of course aging. The recklessness that they used to have is gone and for a good reason. Bam, Dunn and even Novak missing from this movie really made the difference for me with this film. Bam and Knoxville were the kings of behind the scenes pranks that kept everyone on set on edge and it wasn't like that in this movie.
Novak was never in jackass. He has what one scene going down the vert on a toilet? O and one getting punched with a boxing glove. Am I missing something?
Those Pennsylvania guys brought a whole different kind of thing to the product. Without them it's just straight up California vibes. If Bam had been there maybe Chris Raab would have gotten involved instead of only filming. The whole formula just felt off. I wasn't really all that impressed with the new members either. Danger Ehren and Knoxville were the only ones that really put themselves out there on this one in my opinion.
Also you brought up a solid point about Steve-O's podcast. The things Steve-O said on his podcast left a sour taste in my mouth before I even saw the movie. Steve-O shouldn't have said anything about how he and Knoxville were fighting over money and how Poopies barely got paid, that stuff in particular left a sour taste in my mouth. Knowing that info definitely put a damper on the feel that these guys are all buddies.
I agree but I have to point out that Poopies agreed to getting paid less because since he's a new member who didn't do anything like jackass before, they wanted to just feel him out in this movie first before he got paid big bucks. He said he was fine with it since all he cares about is surfing and chasing chick's anyways lmao. Not arguing, just wanted to clarify
I'm 37 and grew up on cky first. It was super popular in S.B.C California at the time and always thought when it became "jackass" it dropped in quality and had less skating. I got over it and loved it eventually and will most likely do so for the next chapter. Not like I ever re-watched any cky/jackass ever alone it was always to shock the next person... "Oh you haven't seen cky???" And then I would see it again. It's not like boondock saints, good fellas or pulp fiction where I watch it alone and admire it as art so it's still serving it's purpose for me.
poopies getting mangled by a shark and not really being paid is pretty dark. never knew about it until after I watched since it wasn't in the film while Knoxville's near death injury was
Jackass was revolutionary in the late 90’s early 2000’s when MTV, movies and magazine were the only mass audience platforms. With TH-cam, FB, Tik Tok, even text messages, etc anyone can make and share jackass stuff. Jackass needs to be innovative. A younger cast doing jackass stuff is not innovation it’s rebranding.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that felt this way about Forever. I didn't hate it or anything, but I definitely think it was the weakest Jackass movie. Something about it just seemed off honestly. It didn't have the same feel as the other movies.
Hey man ngl very well put together video for only 40 subs I liked it, I was expecting like 100k when I subbed so good shit keep uploading you'll definitely blow up 💯💯
Top Reasons Jackass Forever sucked: 1. No Bam / CKY crew members 2. The big stars Steve-0, Knoxville, Bam (Not in the Movie) had very weak stunts and didn't carry the movie like past films. Ehren McGhehey carried the film and he isn't the huge standout star of the crew. 3. Seemed way less like a group of friends and more like coworkers doing a job. 4. Missing Bam and CKY took away that sort of street edge energy to the film.
Dude Novak was never in jackass. Ever. He was a viva la bam guy and made an appearance in what two scenes of jackass ? Getting punched with a boxing glove and dropping into the vert on a toilet. Tony hawk is more jackass then Novak
The intro with the big dick was way to drawn out, and I could’ve done without all the behind the scenes stuff relating to that bit. I agree with you regarding the new cast members not having established friendships. They were all there to do a job, that may have been why it felt more like a money grab this time. The age of the OG cast did bother me some. Your analogy about watching a friend fall vs watching a parent fall was spot on. I didn’t find the stunts themselves as good…some were, but some were lame. Them all being sober may have played a role too…getting messed up before doing these stunts may have added something to it that I can’t put my finger on. I don’t advocate for alcohol/drug use, I’m just making an observation. Finally, it just wasn’t the same without Bam (and Dunn, but that’s impossible to fix). Bam was a major player from the beginning and majorly contributed to Jackass’s success. Not just in the content contribution, but in his presence. There’s something special about Bam, that’s why he’s been so successful. They needed him, and I feel like a big piece was missing without him. All that being said, I remain a fan. I grew up watching Jackass and all the other stuff they did. I supported the movie by buying a ticket, but it wasn’t their best work.
You pretty well summarized how I felt about the movie, including enjoying 4.5 more. I found parts of jackass 2 and 3 hard to watch too, even a young Johnny getting ragdolled by a bull (Toro totor) was rough, and the poo cocktail supreme was absolutely horrendous.
I grew up on jackass and bam. I'm 35. And I loved them I could watch it over and over again... but i didnt even finish the new movie.. was not the same.. I love bam!! And he would of made a complete turn around if he was in the film. Or felt wanted. The new cast is wack. I don't like Knoxville or Jeff they seem shady about paying..I love all the old stuff. Till you see stuff come out about them.
I didn’t realize how much the man on the street stuff and Bam Margera alone meant to the series. Forever just didn’t do it for me. Just dick joke after dick joke.
Watch Jackass and know about the injuries, pain and all the "behind the scenes" stuff takes away the magic about the show, stunts, etc. It's like, if a magician explain you the tricks he used after watching the show. It's a huge immersion break and you see the strings and realize they are just human beings suffering.
the age factor and context really did make this Jackass hard to watch, but it also felt good to see these stuntmen in their older age try their hardest to put on a show. It's weird cause it was a bittersweet feeling. great video.
You make a lot of great points. Although I enjoyed this movie. I'll probably go back to the others before I revisit this one . Also the choice to exclude Bam regardless of how anyone feels about it. Severely hurt the film.
evil knievel was one of knoxville's heroes....and everybody knew that guy broke every bone in his body. the biggest problem was there was no cky presence....its like watching half of jackass. it also didn't help they showed just about every stunt in the commercials lol
The combination of thinking they were too old with the lack of the CKY Crew was what did it in for me. I spent most of the film trying to imagine what it would be like if Dunn or Bam was there. Dico, Dunn, and Bam did so much for the series and none of them being there for this iteration of Jackass made it feel incomplete for me. If they're going to go with this new squad they need to find a new group of people similar to the CKY Crew, but I have no idea where they'd start.
I liked the movie, it served up all the laughs and shock that I’ve come to expect from these guys. I’m not remotely bothered by hearing about their injuries; they’ve always had crazy injury stories from filming Jackass bits so that’s nothing new and for me kind of adds to the daredevilness of these stunts.. it tells you how hardcore they are. They are much older now, yes, but they’re hardly one-foot-in-the-grave and seeing the band back together again always puts a smile on my face no matter how much time passes. Even though I thought the movie was good, I still felt kind of empty watching it though. The main reason for this was the omission of Bam. As the last member of the CKY crew in Jackass, him being gone sort of made me feel the absence even more of not only him but Dunn, Raab, Dico, Rake, Novak, Phil, April.. it just didn’t feel the same, it felt like a big chunk of the Jackass family was missing. And no hate to the new cast members, I think they did well, but they didn’t fill that void for me. There was something really uncomfortable about the way Bam’s firing was handled as well which has soured his relationship with the other guys behind the scenes, and although I understand his addiction is the crux of the problem - I also feel like the movie kind of pretended like Bam never existed and that was sad. They paid a small tribute to Ryan at the end but I wish they could have at least acknowledged that one of their living cast members was missing. Or even given him the opportunity to complete the movie; it’s not as if they all weren’t loaded themselves during previous shoots. I kind of feel like having the chance to work with the guys again in a sober environment might’ve actually been a positive thing for him but we’ll never know now, and likely he won’t have another opportunity as I doubt they’ll do another movie after this. Just a sad state of affairs.
My only complaint was that they had to make up for the fact that they're all older now and can't do many big stunts by doing a lot of genital mutilation stuff. It was fine in previous movies because it seemed more natural as to where it was even admitted that there was so much penis stuff in this one because they're old now. I still thought it was hilarious and mostly enjoyed the newcomers. It's not the best movie in the franchise, but it's still right up there with the rest of them.
i think if they combined 4 & 4.5 it would have been a better movie. when i was in the theatres i was hella dissapointed when it ended. everything felt too staged
Yeah the movies sucked, I’ve watched every jackass movie multiple times, but I’ll never watch this one again, I guess it’s not the same as I’m a lot older now
I completely agree with everything you stated, very well written video! im glad someone feels the same way that i did in the theather. hearing about the drama behind the scenes made this film pretty uncomftorable to watch… like why was there a heated argument between stevo and knox about money? its pretty depressing. and i also cringed watching these aging legends take slams. and the new cast members were not familiar enough to make the film feel at home. even watching the first few jackass films without any prior knowledge of the franchise, it works because of the pre-existing friendships, wheras if you were to watch forever, its pretty obvious who the newcomers are. my favorite part of the film was the credits because we get to see old footage and cameos from old members. my favorite jackass is 2 and 1 because of the feel of a bunch of friends with video cameras.. forever feels more scripted and controled and artificial in comparison. anyways im just pretty much repeating everything you said. thanks for making this video, because its the best worded way someone voiced this unpopular opinion that i have seen
I understand the criticism that you mentioned as other have too. But it’s also one’s perspective. I came into that movie wanting to have a nice time laugh with my bois in the theater after a few drinks. And it did it’s job. Yes they are old but also understand this was not a movie that ever had to come out and the fact we got one is just great as we all know it’ll be the last, at least with the original cast…
Unfortunately the new cast although all very talented in their own right were mostly picked to fill inclusion quota's which always dilutes the content of preexisting chemistry, that's just the way of the modern world I guess and part of the reason why shows like Jackass don't exist anymore. Do you think a show with 8 white men would get commissioned these days
I don't think this "inclusivity" argument holds any water. Dickhouse already made Loiter Squad (Jasper) and Knoxville was in a movie with Eric Manaka. Most of the new cast was already in the Jackass world before joining. I'd go as far as saying that maybe they wanted to get a woman involved. But I don't think they went out of their way to be inclusive, just because it's NOT all white men.
I was 16 when Jackass was out in 2000. I absolutely loved this movie. The new members were ok. Not great. Would have love Bam to be in it but whatever. Just my opinion.
i fully enjoyed the movie i laughed the whole way through and you could tell they felt like it was the old times again in some bits but some things just make it bitter sweet. bam, dunn, and that whole crew and energy was missing, they get hurt a lot easier, and the level of production and planning makes it feel less authentic. it feels like a mainstream movie not a movie of some guys having fun doing stupid rauchy stunts, i feel like theres no other way it couldve ended up but its still a little sad. dont get me wrong im definitely waiting for a pontiusaurus plushie and i really like the new people but its just different.
Its because if of the ending of that one jackass movie where they were all being gruesomely murdered while costumed as old men. We knew then as we know now.
It failed on every front. It didn't feel like a jackass movie. There was far too much promotion showing a sizable portion of the movie before it was ever available to watch. Bam was missing. The drama with him was front page, that took away from the luster of a new JA. Celebrity appearances? Seriously?
Was funny , had its good qualities but overall it did feel like it was forced and maybe a money grab for the last hurrah in that some of the guys haven't had success and made more money as like Knoxville, O, Tremine have. Bam and the late Ryan Dunn not being in it also was disappointing especially in Bam's case and just the loss of Dunn well doesn't even need to be discussed that just sucks balls. The boys have all went Hollywood and it's about there brands after it's run its course more then the brand that was Jackass " watch Steve -O hock products with 4 commercials a podcast" I loved the first 3 and the Jackass spin offs but the 4th one could of lived with or without.
i didnt watch them after the second one when dunn died it ruined it i out grew it im 34 i think i would have to really really try to watch this entire film and not internally hate it and lie to myself about it the entire time. but some of the clips on youtube are good. reminds me of the good times. but even then. yes its try hard 50 year olds at this point trying not to die right before retirement.
i'm not a mega fan so i havent really been keeping up with the behind the scenes stuff save for Bam's ordeal (i did love Viva La Bam back in college). I haven't seen Forever and don't intend to since it feel really off-putting watching 50+ year olds get destroyed like that. this was more fun when everyone was 2 decades younger.
Ya, actually, I'm not sure if I fully put that together but you're right. It felt like some of the bits were missing music - or at least lighthearted music.
I got thru about 30 mins and switched to something else. It didnt have the feel of the original show or even the first couple movies. It felt like a behind the scenes featurette instead of the actual movie.
I didn’t dislike it. I was just disappointed i knew almost every stunt before I saw the whole movie. I love following the crew and all their side projects so it was underwhelming when I knew 90% of the stunts.
Idk what you are talking about. My wife and I are 40 and we laughed from the beginning to the end. It’s the best Jackass movie by far. I am pissed that Knoxville and Tremaine were so stingy. The guys deserve more than what they got.
I grew up with Jackass from a young age and seen all of it plus the spin offs. I was the perfect target audience. I avoided all trailers and promotions as not to spoil it. But going into the movie I had a gnawing suspicion about it. Unfortunately it was confirmed. The movie should not have been made. It's what Kingdom of the crystal skull is to the Indiana Jones franchise. The cast is too old and didn't nearly do as much shit as they used to. Most heavy stunts were done by Danger Ehren. All Jackass content plus the spin offs could have been left as it was and stand on their own both as entertainment and a product of it's time. But no. They had to squeeze out this one as well. All it left me with was: meh. The main thing is that with the old Jackass you could see the guys do these stunts off camera since they were in their 20s or 30s. It gave you the impression of a gang of wild buddies who had picked up a camera to film what they were doing anyway. In this one you certainly can't see that. It's a group of elderly men getting together to do stuff their bodies can't handle anymore. It's not fun anymore.
I enjoyed the fuck out of it. The new cast are funny and ballsy. One thing I didn’t enjoy was that there were a few skits that seemed staged. Public reactions used to be my favorite part of Jackass and now it just seems too fake.
The amount of nut shots danger Erin took I did not find funny. The first one was funny but after that I just felt so bad for him. And the fact that he did them a day or two apart from each other makes it worse. I went back and watched 1 2 and 3 after watching 4 and 4.5 defiantly enjoyed both movies. But they are definitely missing the randomness of just weird pranks stupid hurtful stunts and elaborate stunts that move fast. Plus it really really bothered me that when they did something such as blowing the parachute with the fans just one or two of the new cast would do it and that was it. They would normally all give it a try with different props and costumes.
Me and a group of friends laughed our asses of. So it wasn't hard to watch. The only 2 things I kinda missed was the silly background music in some stunts. Like back in Jackass 3. And there were a lot less pranks in puplic caused by cov1d.
I don't think it had anything to do with age. I loved the film. It did at times feel a bit like a parity of itself however. And yes sucks the east coast crew was almost completely missing.
I thought it was great. Bam and Ryan were most definitely missed, but it was still really funny and the new guys got a few good scenes. It was Jackass.
IMO we are much older than when it first came out, so is the cast and forever is different in many ways; felt too corporate the originals seemed more of a middle finger to corporate, felt like a money grab especially learning about paying Poopies only $35k, some original greats are either dead or weren't in forever which didn't help, the thing with JA Forever IMO the stunts get old, the new cast got the short stick in too many ways. Where Forever was a decent watch, it came very short from the nostalgia of the original show, 1-3 movies , Viva la bam, Wildboyz. Honestly if they want the brand to live on they can do a couple different approaches. 1. The original cast should retire from crazy stunts all together, they need to stop bowing down to corporate and be a rebellious show again, they need a brand new cast for a show, where the original cast makes cameos or have a jackass reality show where the original cast makes new men and women do extreme challenges for a chance to win money
It was worse than the others cause the new cast and waaay too much dick. They all still got it. Just made bad decisions with the direction of the film.
I definitely agree. Yes, the stunts have always been hilarious, but I've always cared more about the people doing them than the stunts themselves. I'm just simply not invested in these new people (yet) and there was a massive black hole not having CKY in it (although I know some of that was out of their control). Loomis wasn't even in it, was he? The Dudesons were supposedly in it but I never noticed them. I also think the lockdowns played a part in it too. All in all it felt incomplete and all it mainly did for me was yearn for the old days. I also agree that I enjoyed 4.5 more. I laughed harder at that then I did the main movie.
It just didn't have that Jackass feel to it. Too many side characters didn't return + no Bam. I also think covid restrictions played a role because the guys didn't play as much pranks on each other. There were way less filming days than previous movies and no travel outside of the L.A. area. So no long extended flights or road trips to do silly stuff to each other.
it was missing obviously bam and very unfortunately ryan which is nobodys fault, however without them we dont see all of bams friends and his viva la bam crew. like brandon dicamillo who i find a very key member of the cast even if hes a side character. and i dont have a problem with anyone being older it just doesnt at all have the jackass feel.
People had too high of an expectation for this movie. Jackass is jackass. You prolly only like the old movies because of nostalgia. That was a great time, between jackass, viva la bam etc. like you really grew up to know these dudes. Obviously the stunts aren’t gonna be as grand for the old timers, because of age or the amount of bumps they’ve taken. Just accept it for what it is. Prolly their last foray as a group with the original cast.
I feel like jackass 3 was at there peak now I felt like Steve o was too cocky cuss of his podcast! Bam wasn't in it.. Poppies almost died an got $35k in reward... who cares about the rest of the new people
The 3rd was the icing on the cake. All bs aside with bam,it wasnt the same with out him, dunn, or even novak. Along with the stunts seeming to be regurgitate crap from the other movies it didnt seem as wholesome. And with steve-o and his podcast he still seems to have a hard jealousy and envy towards bam because of what accomplished and Bams Sirius being better (imo).
@@coverstream9951 Bam accomplished becoming a hardcore alcoholic who spends more time in rehabs than outside of them these days, then escapes, checks himself out when there is a court order not to, and continues to make a total ass of himself on social media... I'd be totally jealous too. Steve O is living his best life right now while Bam's life has fallen apart. Steve O isn't jealous of Bam, he's worried about his well-being. Money and fame don't mean anything when your life is in the shitter.
@@TheJokesterSCR Bruh, he's lived the life of multiple people by his early 20s'. Years of stunts/brain damage and drugs, you think he's going to have the same mindset to fight off the addiction on top of all the enablers that were around him.
Brooo an lately bam keep asking rehabs like it's sad bam! The dude who totally owned MTV with viva la bam! An steve o was was spiraling out of control that's like 2000s?? Now 2022 bam is like Steve o an now Steve o is like bam on top of youtube
Hopefully this was the last Jackass they make. I was excited as hell to see this but thought it was pretty shit. Bam was missed so much, and the new guys didn't offer much at all. Jackass was fun but it's time to move on
I found the jackass forever 4.5 on Netflix to be better then the movie. Not saying the movie wasn't entertaining, the stuff that didn't make it in the movie was just better!!
It was a great movie. I think your wrong for trying to make it not. Sure some parts are cringe but thats how every jackass is. You go into it knowing that. But I'm 28 now and I haven't laughed that hard in atleast 2 years. 10/10 would watch again. And I think the fact that there willing to put themselves through that. At their age. Like hoe could you not love em. Yes they are getting older and you can tell compared to the old jackass's but even like Steve o said in the movie. It's been 10 years. 10 years is a lot when you consider they were in there 20s and 30s on the last 2. I think we need to appreciate what they give us because if loosing celebrities over the last year wasn't enough. There gonna be gone one day and there won't be any more jackasses to watch. So be thankful for what you get.

"If my buddy falls, I laugh. If my dad falls, I'm worried."
Perfect summation. Aging takes some of the fun out of these Jackass stunts.
I had one of the best laughs in years while watching this movie in the cinema. Genuinely hilarious.
Jackass forever was awesome and I liked jackass 4.5 even more because 4.5 had that feeling of friends hanging out and stunts together
All your videos on your channel(not many) are BANGERS! Like seriously bro. Good work. Also. Steve-O's pod got me through hard times man. Great Pod.
I'm 37 and grew up on cky first. It was super popular in S.B.C California at the time and always thought when it became "jackass" it dropped in quality and had less skating.

Top Reasons Jackass Forever sucked:
1. No Bam / CKY crew members
2. The big stars Steve-0, Knoxville, Bam (Not in the Movie) had very weak stunts and didn't carry the movie like past films. Ehren McGhehey carried the film and he isn't the huge standout star of the crew.
3. Seemed way less like a group of friends and more like coworkers doing a job.
4. Missing Bam and CKY took away that sort of street edge energy to the film.
This wasn't the same without Bam, Ryan, Novak. Just didn't feel like the creativity was there either like the previous 3 films
Dude Novak was never in jackass. Ever. He was a viva la bam guy and made an appearance in what two scenes of jackass ? Getting punched with a boxing glove and dropping into the vert on a toilet. Tony hawk is more jackass then Novak
Agreed
I like the old jackass movies more if I’m being honest
The intro with the big dick was way to drawn out, and I could’ve done without all the behind the scenes stuff relating to that bit. I agree with you regarding the new cast members not having established friendships. They were all there to do a job, that may have been why it felt more like a money grab this time. The age of the OG cast did bother me some. Your analogy about watching a friend fall vs watching a parent fall was spot on. I didn’t find the stunts themselves as good…some were, but some were lame. Them all being sober may have played a role too…getting messed up before doing these stunts may have added something to it that I can’t put my finger on. I don’t advocate for alcohol/drug use, I’m just making an observation. Finally, it just wasn’t the same without Bam (and Dunn, but that’s impossible to fix). Bam was a major player from the beginning and majorly contributed to Jackass’s success. Not just in the content contribution, but in his presence. There’s something special about Bam, that’s why he’s been so successful. They needed him, and I feel like a big piece was missing without him. All that being said, I remain a fan. I grew up watching Jackass and all the other stuff they did. I supported the movie by buying a ticket, but it wasn’t their best work.
Just found your channel a couple of weeks ago and it is dope! Thank for the great content.
You pretty well summarized how I felt about the movie, including enjoying 4.5 more.
I found parts of jackass 2 and 3 hard to watch too, even a young Johnny getting ragdolled by a bull (Toro totor) was rough, and the poo cocktail supreme was absolutely horrendous.
I grew up on jackass and bam. I'm 35. And I loved them I could watch it over and over again... but i didnt even finish the new movie.. was not the same.. I love bam!! And he would of made a complete turn around if he was in the film. Or felt wanted. The new cast is wack. I don't like Knoxville or Jeff they seem shady about paying..I love all the old stuff. Till you see stuff come out about them.
Biggest problem was MGK being in it……..
Jackass 4.5 is way better then the actual movie
I'd say they were about equal for me. I thought they were both hilarious.
“I’ll show me” is such a banger
Johnny Knoxville took brain damage from the Bull and Poopies almost had his entire hand from a shark. That's what's difficult.
For me Jackass died with Ryan Dunn
I didn’t realize how much the man on the street stuff and Bam Margera alone meant to the series. Forever just didn’t do it for me. Just dick joke after dick joke.
Watch Jackass and know about the injuries, pain and all the "behind the scenes" stuff takes away the magic about the show, stunts, etc. It's like, if a magician explain you the tricks he used after watching the show. It's a huge immersion break and you see the strings and realize they are just human beings suffering.
the age factor and context really did make this Jackass hard to watch, but it also felt good to see these stuntmen in their older age try their hardest to put on a show. It's weird cause it was a bittersweet feeling. great video.
You make a lot of great points. Although I enjoyed this movie. I'll probably go back to the others before I revisit this one . Also the choice to exclude Bam regardless of how anyone feels about it. Severely hurt the film.
evil knievel was one of knoxville's heroes....and everybody knew that guy broke every bone in his body. the biggest problem was there was no cky presence....its like watching half of jackass. it also didn't help they showed just about every stunt in the commercials lol
The combination of thinking they were too old with the lack of the CKY Crew was what did it in for me. I spent most of the film trying to imagine what it would be like if Dunn or Bam was there. Dico, Dunn, and Bam did so much for the series and none of them being there for this iteration of Jackass made it feel incomplete for me. If they're going to go with this new squad they need to find a new group of people similar to the CKY Crew, but I have no idea where they'd start.
Wasn't the same without Ryan Dunn and Bam Margera, also the stunts weren't good like the original ones....
I liked the movie, it served up all the laughs and shock that I’ve come to expect from these guys. I’m not remotely bothered by hearing about their injuries; they’ve always had crazy injury stories from filming Jackass bits so that’s nothing new and for me kind of adds to the daredevilness of these stunts.. it tells you how hardcore they are. They are much older now, yes, but they’re hardly one-foot-in-the-grave and seeing the band back together again always puts a smile on my face no matter how much time passes.
Even though I thought the movie was good, I still felt kind of empty watching it though. The main reason for this was the omission of Bam. As the last member of the CKY crew in Jackass, him being gone sort of made me feel the absence even more of not only him but Dunn, Raab, Dico, Rake, Novak, Phil, April.. it just didn’t feel the same, it felt like a big chunk of the Jackass family was missing. And no hate to the new cast members, I think they did well, but they didn’t fill that void for me.
There was something really uncomfortable about the way Bam’s firing was handled as well which has soured his relationship with the other guys behind the scenes, and although I understand his addiction is the crux of the problem - I also feel like the movie kind of pretended like Bam never existed and that was sad. They paid a small tribute to Ryan at the end but I wish they could have at least acknowledged that one of their living cast members was missing. Or even given him the opportunity to complete the movie; it’s not as if they all weren’t loaded themselves during previous shoots. I kind of feel like having the chance to work with the guys again in a sober environment might’ve actually been a positive thing for him but we’ll never know now, and likely he won’t have another opportunity as I doubt they’ll do another movie after this. Just a sad state of affairs.
My only complaint was that they had to make up for the fact that they're all older now and can't do many big stunts by doing a lot of genital mutilation stuff. It was fine in previous movies because it seemed more natural as to where it was even admitted that there was so much penis stuff in this one because they're old now. I still thought it was hilarious and mostly enjoyed the newcomers. It's not the best movie in the franchise, but it's still right up there with the rest of them.
My thoughts, exactly.
i think if they combined 4 & 4.5 it would have been a better movie. when i was in the theatres i was hella dissapointed when it ended. everything felt too staged
Agreed. Like I said in the video, I liked 4.5 better than 4. It captured more of the "classic Jackass" feel more than the main movie did.
It is absolutely insane to me how better 4.5 is than forever. Felt more real and genuine and had way more creative and funny stunts
Yeah the movies sucked, I’ve watched every jackass movie multiple times, but I’ll never watch this one again, I guess it’s not the same as I’m a lot older now
its great they're sober but thats what made it wild
Here before your channel blows up!
😁
I completely agree with everything you stated, very well written video! im glad someone feels the same way that i did in the theather. hearing about the drama behind the scenes made this film pretty uncomftorable to watch… like why was there a heated argument between stevo and knox about money? its pretty depressing. and i also cringed watching these aging legends take slams. and the new cast members were not familiar enough to make the film feel at home. even watching the first few jackass films without any prior knowledge of the franchise, it works because of the pre-existing friendships, wheras if you were to watch forever, its pretty obvious who the newcomers are. my favorite part of the film was the credits because we get to see old footage and cameos from old members. my favorite jackass is 2 and 1 because of the feel of a bunch of friends with video cameras.. forever feels more scripted and controled and artificial in comparison. anyways im just pretty much repeating everything you said. thanks for making this video, because its the best worded way someone voiced this unpopular opinion that i have seen
Poopies deserves some royalties after the movie did well in theaters but he obviously signed a terrible contract
That’s why you don’t spoil yourself with podcasts and social media
I understand the criticism that you mentioned as other have too. But it’s also one’s perspective. I came into that movie wanting to have a nice time laugh with my bois in the theater after a few drinks. And it did it’s job. Yes they are old but also understand this was not a movie that ever had to come out and the fact we got one is just great as we all know it’ll be the last, at least with the original cast…
Don't get me wrong, I liked the movie. But it's their worst one and I think you'd agree. This is just an analysis of why it was their worst one.
Unfortunately the new cast although all very talented in their own right were mostly picked to fill inclusion quota's which always dilutes the content of preexisting chemistry, that's just the way of the modern world I guess and part of the reason why shows like Jackass don't exist anymore. Do you think a show with 8 white men would get commissioned these days
I don't think this "inclusivity" argument holds any water. Dickhouse already made Loiter Squad (Jasper) and Knoxville was in a movie with Eric Manaka. Most of the new cast was already in the Jackass world before joining.
I'd go as far as saying that maybe they wanted to get a woman involved. But I don't think they went out of their way to be inclusive, just because it's NOT all white men.
Didn't do it for me ..wild boys the movie would be better
I was 16 when Jackass was out in 2000. I absolutely loved this movie. The new members were ok. Not great. Would have love Bam to be in it but whatever. Just my opinion.
i fully enjoyed the movie i laughed the whole way through and you could tell they felt like it was the old times again in some bits but some things just make it bitter sweet. bam, dunn, and that whole crew and energy was missing, they get hurt a lot easier, and the level of production and planning makes it feel less authentic. it feels like a mainstream movie not a movie of some guys having fun doing stupid rauchy stunts, i feel like theres no other way it couldve ended up but its still a little sad. dont get me wrong im definitely waiting for a pontiusaurus plushie and i really like the new people but its just different.
Wasn’t hard to watch at all!
Even us being teens when we were younger and now probably being dads…..we still fuck around with our old
School buddies 🤣
Haven't laughed that hard since jackass 3D/3.5. Never to old.
Its because if of the ending of that one jackass movie where they were all being gruesomely murdered while costumed as old men. We knew then as we know now.
It failed on every front. It didn't feel like a jackass movie. There was far too much promotion showing a sizable portion of the movie before it was ever available to watch. Bam was missing. The drama with him was front page, that took away from the luster of a new JA. Celebrity appearances? Seriously?
Was funny , had its good qualities but overall it did feel like it was forced and maybe a money grab for the last hurrah in that some of the guys haven't had success and made more money as like Knoxville, O, Tremine have. Bam and the late Ryan Dunn not being in it also was disappointing especially in Bam's case and just the loss of Dunn well doesn't even need to be discussed that just sucks balls. The boys have all went Hollywood and it's about there brands after it's run its course more then the brand that was Jackass " watch Steve -O hock products with 4 commercials a podcast" I loved the first 3 and the Jackass spin offs but the 4th one could of lived with or without.
After what happened with Bam I was out. They basically wrangled him into a Britney Spears like conservatorship.
Man I felt so bad for aaron
It was a cash grab movie
Wasn’t hard to watch at all bro, you be trippin lit 🔥 lean bussin
i didnt watch them after the second one when dunn died it ruined it i out grew it im 34 i think i would have to really really try to watch this entire film and not internally hate it and lie to myself about it the entire time. but some of the clips on youtube are good. reminds me of the good times. but even then. yes its try hard 50 year olds at this point trying not to die right before retirement.
I couldn’t care less about people’s pain and suffering.
No empathy? Not surprised these days
i'm not a mega fan so i havent really been keeping up with the behind the scenes stuff save for Bam's ordeal (i did love Viva La Bam back in college). I haven't seen Forever and don't intend to since it feel really off-putting watching 50+ year olds get destroyed like that. this was more fun when everyone was 2 decades younger.
The lack of music in the bits was weird too, it felt like bts for the silent scenes
Ya, actually, I'm not sure if I fully put that together but you're right. It felt like some of the bits were missing music - or at least lighthearted music.
I would do anything to watch this these movies for the first time
I got thru about 30 mins and switched to something else. It didnt have the feel of the original show or even the first couple movies. It felt like a behind the scenes featurette instead of the actual movie.
I didn’t dislike it. I was just disappointed i knew almost every stunt before I saw the whole movie. I love following the crew and all their side projects so it was underwhelming when I knew 90% of the stunts.
You made a lot of good point & I agree with most of them 👍🏼
This what happens when you sell out for Money
Idk what you are talking about. My wife and I are 40 and we laughed from the beginning to the end. It’s the best Jackass movie by far. I am pissed that Knoxville and Tremaine were so stingy. The guys deserve more than what they got.
I didn't even watch it. It'll never be the same for reasons we all know if you watched it from day one.
I grew up with Jackass from a young age and seen all of it plus the spin offs. I was the perfect target audience. I avoided all trailers and promotions as not to spoil it. But going into the movie I had a gnawing suspicion about it. Unfortunately it was confirmed.
The movie should not have been made. It's what Kingdom of the crystal skull is to the Indiana Jones franchise. The cast is too old and didn't nearly do as much shit as they used to. Most heavy stunts were done by Danger Ehren. All Jackass content plus the spin offs could have been left as it was and stand on their own both as entertainment and a product of it's time. But no. They had to squeeze out this one as well. All it left me with was: meh.
The main thing is that with the old Jackass you could see the guys do these stunts off camera since they were in their 20s or 30s. It gave you the impression of a gang of wild buddies who had picked up a camera to film what they were doing anyway. In this one you certainly can't see that. It's a group of elderly men getting together to do stuff their bodies can't handle anymore. It's not fun anymore.
I enjoyed the fuck out of it. The new cast are funny and ballsy. One thing I didn’t enjoy was that there were a few skits that seemed staged. Public reactions used to be my favorite part of Jackass and now it just seems too fake.
I thought it was tied for Best with #2. I loved it and laughed the whole way through.
Movie was missing bam. Simple.
The amount of nut shots danger Erin took I did not find funny. The first one was funny but after that I just felt so bad for him. And the fact that he did them a day or two apart from each other makes it worse. I went back and watched 1 2 and 3 after watching 4 and 4.5 defiantly enjoyed both movies. But they are definitely missing the randomness of just weird pranks stupid hurtful stunts and elaborate stunts that move fast. Plus it really really bothered me that when they did something such as blowing the parachute with the fans just one or two of the new cast would do it and that was it. They would normally all give it a try with different props and costumes.
Me and a group of friends laughed our asses of. So it wasn't hard to watch. The only 2 things I kinda missed was the silly background music in some stunts. Like back in Jackass 3. And there were a lot less pranks in puplic caused by cov1d.
I don't think it had anything to do with age. I loved the film. It did at times feel a bit like a parity of itself however. And yes sucks the east coast crew was almost completely missing.
I liked it. The age thing didn't bother me. Still as immature as I've always been.
Honestly I’m 22 now and watched Jackass as a kid and I hated it, think I just don’t find it funny anymore however I did find it impressive.
Because it was gay
when you are stoned its funny as fuck but sober it be harder maybe idk a lot of movies that are crap are good if you smoke a little before watching
I thought it was great.
Bam and Ryan were most definitely missed, but it was still really funny and the new guys got a few good scenes.
It was Jackass.
I COMPLETELY agree. Still loved it, but it was a bit off.
I don't think it was the best one, but it made me laugh. And that's all it needed to be imo. I was just kimda happy they got together to do something.
IMO we are much older than when it first came out, so is the cast and forever is different in many ways; felt too corporate the originals seemed more of a middle finger to corporate, felt like a money grab especially learning about paying Poopies only $35k, some original greats are either dead or weren't in forever which didn't help, the thing with JA Forever IMO the stunts get old, the new cast got the short stick in too many ways. Where Forever was a decent watch, it came very short from the nostalgia of the original show, 1-3 movies , Viva la bam, Wildboyz. Honestly if they want the brand to live on they can do a couple different approaches. 1. The original cast should retire from crazy stunts all together, they need to stop bowing down to corporate and be a rebellious show again, they need a brand new cast for a show, where the original cast makes cameos or have a jackass reality show where the original cast makes new men and women do extreme challenges for a chance to win money
It was worse than the others cause the new cast and waaay too much dick. They all still got it. Just made bad decisions with the direction of the film.
Also no cky elements.
There was a lot of dick but - to be fair - there may have been even MORE dick in 4.5 and I liked that better.
I definitely agree. Yes, the stunts have always been hilarious, but I've always cared more about the people doing them than the stunts themselves. I'm just simply not invested in these new people (yet) and there was a massive black hole not having CKY in it (although I know some of that was out of their control). Loomis wasn't even in it, was he? The Dudesons were supposedly in it but I never noticed them. I also think the lockdowns played a part in it too. All in all it felt incomplete and all it mainly did for me was yearn for the old days. I also agree that I enjoyed 4.5 more. I laughed harder at that then I did the main movie.
Loomis is seen very briefly in one of the outdoor scenes I believe. They never mentioned him though.
@@coreybuckner1652 That's a shame because he played a much bigger role in the movies than what many realize
It just didn't have that Jackass feel to it. Too many side characters didn't return + no Bam. I also think covid restrictions played a role because the guys didn't play as much pranks on each other. There were way less filming days than previous movies and no travel outside of the L.A. area. So no long extended flights or road trips to do silly stuff to each other.
it was missing obviously bam and very unfortunately ryan which is nobodys fault, however without them we dont see all of bams friends and his viva la bam crew. like brandon dicamillo who i find a very key member of the cast even if hes a side character. and i dont have a problem with anyone being older it just doesnt at all have the jackass feel.
It was great I couldn’t have asked for more
People had too high of an expectation for this movie. Jackass is jackass. You prolly only like the old movies because of nostalgia. That was a great time, between jackass, viva la bam etc. like you really grew up to know these dudes. Obviously the stunts aren’t gonna be as grand for the old timers, because of age or the amount of bumps they’ve taken. Just accept it for what it is. Prolly their last foray as a group with the original cast.
I agree, 4.5 was great!
I didn't like it that much. Way to commercial.
the way youre talking sounds like you still have to hide from your parents to watch it.
I feel like jackass 3 was at there peak now I felt like Steve o was too cocky cuss of his podcast! Bam wasn't in it.. Poppies almost died an got $35k in reward... who cares about the rest of the new people
The 3rd was the icing on the cake. All bs aside with bam,it wasnt the same with out him, dunn, or even novak. Along with the stunts seeming to be regurgitate crap from the other movies it didnt seem as wholesome. And with steve-o and his podcast he still seems to have a hard jealousy and envy towards bam because of what accomplished and Bams Sirius being better (imo).
@@coverstream9951 Bam accomplished becoming a hardcore alcoholic who spends more time in rehabs than outside of them these days, then escapes, checks himself out when there is a court order not to, and continues to make a total ass of himself on social media... I'd be totally jealous too. Steve O is living his best life right now while Bam's life has fallen apart. Steve O isn't jealous of Bam, he's worried about his well-being. Money and fame don't mean anything when your life is in the shitter.
@@TheJokesterSCR Bruh, he's lived the life of multiple people by his early 20s'. Years of stunts/brain damage and drugs, you think he's going to have the same mindset to fight off the addiction on top of all the enablers that were around him.
Brooo an lately bam keep asking rehabs like it's sad bam! The dude who totally owned MTV with viva la bam! An steve o was was spiraling out of control that's like 2000s?? Now 2022 bam is like Steve o an now Steve o is like bam on top of youtube
Hopefully this was the last Jackass they make. I was excited as hell to see this but thought it was pretty shit. Bam was missed so much, and the new guys didn't offer much at all. Jackass was fun but it's time to move on
I found the jackass forever 4.5 on Netflix to be better then the movie. Not saying the movie wasn't entertaining, the stuff that didn't make it in the movie was just better!!
They were pressured to be more "inclusive".
Its easily the best jackass film cause they had more a filter and fresh faces
It wasn’t hard to watch at all. Shit was fuckin hilarious! And I think a big part of it is that they were passing the torch.
The problem is you not the movie.
It was a great movie. I think your wrong for trying to make it not. Sure some parts are cringe but thats how every jackass is. You go into it knowing that. But I'm 28 now and I haven't laughed that hard in atleast 2 years. 10/10 would watch again. And I think the fact that there willing to put themselves through that. At their age. Like hoe could you not love em. Yes they are getting older and you can tell compared to the old jackass's but even like Steve o said in the movie. It's been 10 years. 10 years is a lot when you consider they were in there 20s and 30s on the last 2. I think we need to appreciate what they give us because if loosing celebrities over the last year wasn't enough. There gonna be gone one day and there won't be any more jackasses to watch. So be thankful for what you get.
Jasper's dad stole the show
I watched clips of the movie. The skateboard guillotine was cool..
