- Johnny Knoxville posted an Instagram video showing a plume of smoke from a “monstrous explosion” that occurred on the final day of filming in Simi Valley.
- JemFX (Elia) was credited by Knoxville for creating the explosion, which locals initially mistook for a plane crash.
- The cast gathered around the explosion and hugged Elia’s neck after witnessing the blast, celebrating the wrap of the series.
- Jackass: Best and Last, the fifth and final Jackass film, is slated for theatrical release on June 26.
- The trailer for Jackass: Best and Last debuted at Paramount’s CinemaCon presentation in Las Vegas, teasing the final installment.
Why it matters: The staged explosion gives the Jackass crew a dramatic finale and supplies fans with a striking visual hook just before the film’s June 26 theatrical debut, reinforcing the franchise’s 26‑year legacy and providing the stunt‑team and explosion specialist high‑profile exposure for their craft.
