A Robot Is the Newest Member of Jackass in Its ‘Best and Last’ Trailer

Johnny Knoxville and the Jackass gang have a new movie coming out on June 26, and a new trailer has just dropped. It’s been a quarter of a century since the first Jackass movie arrived, and the new trailer is filled with some classics anyone will be familiar with, including shots to the balls and gross-out stunts with porta-potties.

But you’ll also notice one thing that wouldn’t have been possible 25 years ago: humanoid robots are getting in on the action.

The trailer, which is available on YouTube, explains that this installment, the fifth Jackass movie, will be the final one.

Knoxville, who’s 55 years old, has gotten emotional recently talking about the stunts he’s no longer able to physically pull off. So it makes sense that they’d bring out a robot who might be able to help with some stunts.

“Well, after all the concussions, I can’t do [those stunts] anymore,” Knoxville recently told Rolling Stone, adding, “I realize it’s not the healthiest thing. So I can look at that now, as opposed to not wanting to.”

But the gang clearly doesn’t walk away unscathed. In the trailer, we see Knoxville hit in the nuts, and Steve-O apparently receives a prostate exam from the robot.

The robot is branded with Robostore on its front and appears to be made by the Chinese company Unitree. The company’s humanoid robots retail between $18,000 and $100,000 and have gotten a lot of attention this year as they keep racking up milestones. Now, a Unitree robot is the first non-human member of the Jackass crew.

The trailer really leans into nostalgia, just as Knoxville himself has in recent interviews. It has to be tough to be in such a physically demanding line of work as you age. Knoxville’s pal Dave England lost part of his finger shooting this movie, officially known as Jackass: Best and Last.

What else does the Jackass crew get up to in this one? We’ll have to wait for June to find out. But obviously, we’re excited to see if the robot gets put through its paces. A prostate exam is one thing, but it seems like you could come up with hundreds of weird things to do with a robot to really get your money’s worth.
