I’m 40 so was prime target audience when Jackass first came out. So many lost nights at university watching it on MTV!

Sad to see what’s happened to Bam. He was always my least favourite member but he’s in a bad way now.

It was funny when it was released but as time went on it became clear many of the cast had serious psychological issues that needed to be addressed.

Yeah he seems completely off the rails at times.

Still dip into the series fairly often I’m the same age as Knoxville don’t know how he can handle the pain now.

RIP Ryan.

The trailer is much better than I hoped it would be.

When I watched the 3rd one, it seemed a bit 'sad' old men doing stupid stuff when they should have stopped by now, but somehow now, 10 years later it seems like a better idea.

I think it was the bit at the start when they're all laughing together, made me miss being young, stupid and responsibility free.

That last scene with the bear, Jesus!

Absolutely, watching some clips of the TV series 20+ years later, they're not 'normal happy people' Knoxville seems the most grounded and came through the most unscathed, most of the rest of the cast seem to have a lot of drink / drug / relationship problems

Really looking forward to this. It won't be as good as the other ones, of that I've no doubt but I'm not any less excited.

There's something about the other films that have a comfy familiarity to them. The outro scene with them singing with Weezer brings a smile to my face every time.

Although there is only 16 of us in here.

Who knew Mathew Pritchard would go from drinking beer shat out of his mates arse to a celebrity vegan chef.

Netflix have promoted the older films in build up to this so I watched a bit this weekend. I also was transported back to my teens where we would watch this and then go outside and bash each other over the head with whatever we could find. Happy days.
In my opinion, the Dudesons from Finland were actually the best at this "hurt yourself doing stupid stuff" genre.

I watched this today, obviously it's just more of the same so if your a Jackass fan then you will like it, which I did. 90 minutes was about right, any longer and the shock impact that makes you wince at some of the stunts they pull tends to wane. Some of the new characters fitted in well, especially Zach Holmes who I remembered from his Youtube stunt videos.

Seen it last night though it was great took me back to my 20s!

New guys were a decent addition zach and poopies were great fun.

Chris Pontious didn’t feature much and I though Ehren was the star of this one.

Nice to see a Ryan Dunn tribute also.
