It’s been roughly 12 years since we heard that iconic Jackass theme music and witnessed the Jackass gang collaborating in some extreme stunts. Jackass Endlessly, the fourth feature-length film spawned from the favored MTV actuality comedy sequence, ratchets up the dangerous nonetheless terribly hilarious and gross gags in what could be the swan music for a number of of the acquainted faces we now have come to love from the franchise.
Cassius Life spoke with Johnny Knoxville, Steve-O, Wee Man, Chris Pontius, Dave England, Preston Lacy, Hazard Ehren, and newcomers Eric Manaka, Jasper, Rachel Wolfson, Sean “Poopies” McInerney, Zach Holmes.

Johnny Knoxville: Oh, God. I merely know our favorite points, like Silence of the Lambs is no doubt one of many biggest points we ever shot.
It’s among the many finest points we ever shot. I really feel the bull stunt labored very properly. For the bull, maybe not for me, nonetheless the footage works, so I’m glad. And the opening is pretty epic.
Jeff Tremaine: The opening, I like. Ehren with the bear was fantastic.
CL: Johnny, you talked concerning the bull. We merely need to know why would you like tough the bull quite a bit?
JK: Correctly, they hate you, they normally’re merely dying to hold out. And they also don’t even hate you, truly. They hate one thing that strikes. In case you switch, they hate you. And if an inanimate object strikes, identical to the Toro Totter in amount two, I think about. The bull tried to take out the Toro Totter on account of it was transferring. Bulls are 100% assured every time you shoot.
Oh, God. I merely know our favorite points, like Silence of the Lambs is no doubt one of many biggest points we ever shot.
It’s among the many finest points we ever shot. I really feel the bull stunt labored very properly. For the bull, maybe not for me, nonetheless the footage works, so I’m glad. And the opening is pretty epic.
JT: And he’s the one one that may truly shoot with it. We’ve had completely different guys can be found in, nonetheless the completely different guys hate it after they don’t have any administration over how the stunt goes. And with a bull, you possibly can have zero administration. You merely stand there and take regardless of this issue’s going to throw at you. And so he’s the one one foolish enough to essentially take that type of shot on, the place “Okay, I’ll merely stand proper right here. Irrespective of’s going to happen goes to happen.” So it’s excellent on account of everyone knows what’s going to happen, and it’s not going to be good.
JK: Nonetheless it’ll be humorous.
CL: It was and salute to you, Johnny, for putting your self on a line for comedy.
JK: Thanks.
Dave England: I’ll do one thing. I’m crazy. No, I don’t know. I suggest, merely there’s positive days you rise up, you’re not feeling it, and completely different days you’re merely raring to go. So it’s merely, it’s hit and miss. And usually, people who seem like they’re going to be basically essentially the most harmless are the worst ones.
Hazard Ehren: I’m personally am glad that I don’t have to do any additional cup exams. That sucks. Or have any bears come spherical me or have to therapeutic therapeutic massage my associates’ testicles. Fluffer. I’m a extraordinarily good fluffer.
Preston Lacy: I appreciated it when Ehren touched my privates. I hated it when Knoxville purchased hit by the bull.
Eric Manaka: Yeah, the favorite stunt to see clearly there’ll be no spoilers from me, nonetheless those the place the responses are completely precise, and in addition you’re laughing at your self, you’re cringing at your self. You’re like, “Wow, you truly did this!” So it is pretty entertaining to see your self in that scenario.
Zach Holmes: Yeah. I tried to fly over some cacti with a kite, and that was almost definitely thought-about considered one of my favorite points that I tried to do.
Jasper: My favorite one hasn’t been seen however, nonetheless it’s an awesome one. I say, worst, it was nothing unhealthy. I actually had fun on all of them, so I didn’t get too hurt, and I’m nonetheless proper right here strolling, so, oh yeah.
Rachel Wolfson: I would say scorpion Botox was pretty gnarly.
Sean Mclnerney: My favorite that I observed from the peanut gallery, that was almost definitely Steve-O’s bee issue. After which my least favorite for me was almost definitely the snake chew and basically essentially the most. And one issue I didn’t have to see was Knoxville get hit by the bull. That was not gratifying to take a look at.
Steve-O: I suggest, one of the best ways that it actually works is that your worst experience whereas filming is your biggest footage when it comes out. So by that measure, I would say Knoxville’s bull bit is the easiest shot of the movie. The treadmill was truly, truly good.
There truly is… And I suggest, yeah, penises are very highly effective, as a result of the movie proves, nonetheless the whole thing is just ten situations funnier when you do it naked. And I really feel wieners are technique underused inside the movies. Critically underused. So I suggest, we solved that disadvantage on this one.
Wee Man: The vulture.
Chris Pontius: I cherished the vulture bit. I prefer it. And there’s this one bit that we filmed so method again. Considered one of many first points we filmed was this bit the place they put our wieners on this Plexiglas and, and I don’t know the place that idea bought right here from. Chris Pontius:
I really feel Jeff Jermaine purchased despatched some internet picture of any person in Germany doing that, and I didn’t suppose it could be potential, and I was scared after they knowledgeable us about it. Nonetheless yeah, it was fantastic. Correct now, that’s thought-about considered one of my favorite bits.
CL: So we now need to ask you guys, y’all put your our our bodies on the street to make us chuckle. Particularly, one part of your physique slightly bit an extreme quantity of for our liking. And that’s the junk! What goes by your ideas when y’all do these junk stunts? Why do y’all put y’all junk by quite a bit stress, man?
WM: Though it could be often called a boner at situations, there’s no bone in your junk. We don’t truly break it. So it’s almost definitely less complicated to put that in your line than completely different elements of your physique.
CP: Fully. There truly is… And I suggest, yeah, penises are very highly effective, as a result of the movie proves, nonetheless the whole thing is just ten situations funnier when you do it naked.

WM: We always want to present our female viewers one factor to essentially come to the flicks for.
SO: Chris talked about it as quickly as, that for years, males have been hiding their penises as if there was one factor to be ashamed of. And we’ve decided that that’s enough.
