Bam Margera's brutally honest thoughts on Jackass 5 as he says comedy franchise is 'no more'

Bam Margera may feature in the newly released Jackass: Best and Last, but the former Jackass cast member has not dropped his feud.

Margera was confirmed to be a shock return for the latest and (assuming there’s no sad reboot) last film in the Jackass franchise.

The skater was fired from the fourth Jackass movie, Jackass Forever, after a breach of a 'wellness agreement' as he was found to have taken prescription Adderall.

He later sued both Johnny Knoxville and his Jackass co-creator Jeff Tremaine, even threatening to fight Knoxville in a concerning video on Instagram.

It was announced earlier this year that Margera had signed a deal to return for the fifth film in archival footage, with his parents even attending the movie’s premiere.

However, Margera previously released a video clarifying his thoughts on Jackass 5.

Margera claimed the franchise is ‘no more’

Last year, before Jackass: Best and Last was announced, Margera posted a video on social media in which he said: “If there were even any brainstorming thoughts about a Jackass 5, they would not be at liberty to call it Jackass anymore. There is no more ass.

“There's no more CKY, no Dunn, no Dico, no Rake, no Ape and Phil. Bam got replaced by a guy named f*cking Poopies, and it's just Big Brother now.”

CKY stands for ‘Camp Kill Yourself’, a series of skate and prank videos which predated Jackass and formed a large basis of what the show would become. This featured both Bam and Ryan Dunn, alongside several smaller members of the crew who appeared in the early TV series.

‘Dico’ and ‘Rake’ refer to Brandon DiCamillo, the co-creator of CKY with Bam, and Rake Yohn, another CKY original who appeared in early Jackass.

Margera finished by saying: “So it should be called Jack Flop 5, beating the living sh*t out of a dead horse. Can't wait to not see it.”

Steve-O sent a message to Margera over the long-standing feud

Knoxville and Steve-O have been mostly positive in their comments about Margera, despite him slamming them and the series quite publicly.

Steve-O, however, sent a message to Margera, suggesting there is a step towards recovery that the skater and former Jackass man could still take.

In an appearance on the TMZ podcast when asked about Margera, Steve-O said: “If he could take accountability for what happened in the past and say, 'You know what, that's what happened and now I'm healthy. I'm willing to admit my part.' That's recovery.”

When asked at the premiere of Jackass 5 about Margera's health amid longstanding substance abuse issues, Margera’s dad Phil said: “He's fantastic, I’m knocking on wood every day, but he's fantastic. He's actually doing really, really well.”

The wildest stunts from Jackass

Paper Cuts - Jackass: The Movie

While on paper (get the pun?) it's perhaps the most basic stunt, this one should be in the Jackass Hall of Fame for being the most painful.

Ryan Dunn gave Johnny Knoxville and Steve-O paper cuts via an envelope in the most sensitive places, such as between the toes, between the fingers, the corner of the mouth, and worst of all, on the tip of Steve-O’s tongue.

Despite these guys regularly seeing all sorts of disgusting bodily fluids, this stunt sent the camera crew into a frenzy of puking.

Butt X-Ray - Jackass: The Movie

In the 2002 movie, Ryan Dunn placed a toy car, which was in a lubed-up condom, into his own rectum.

He then went to a proctologist under the guise of a frat party accident, and after Dunn’s nether regions got a quick scan, the reactions of the medical staff were secretly recorded for the amusement of the Jackass audience.

Having a toy car up your arse is apparently so embarrassing that the doctor told Dunn to go straight to the hospital and not tell anyone about it.

Lamborghini Tooth Pull - Jackass 3D

Now, this one is bad.

As the title of the stunt suggests, for the 2010 movie Ehren McGhehey allowed his 'crooked' tooth to be yanked out on a piece of string that was attached to a Lamborghini, which of course set off at significant speed.

Speaking to GQ a decade after the horrifying stunt, McGhehey said that the stunt 'broke my face all the way up to my eyeball'.

"It took nine months to heal."

Poo Cocktail Supreme - Jackass 3D

Possibly one of the most disgusting Jackass stunts to ever exist, the Poo Cocktail Supreme saw Steve-O get strapped into a portaloo that was attached to a bungee system, and then get flung around as the contents of the toilet engulfed him.

Yep, he was literally covered head-to-toe in sh*t, resulting in the crew physically vomiting when he stepped out.

Steve-O later revealed to journalist Graham Bensinger that due to health and safety, they used dog poo instead of human... as if that makes things any better?!

The Toro Totter - Jackass Number Two

In the 2006 movie, Knoxville joined his Jackass co-stars Chris Pontius, Ryan Dunn and Bam Margera on a teeter-totter, which was in an enclosure with an angry bull.

Despite animal rights group PETA slamming the production for repeatedly using animals as a form of entertainment, this is undoubtedly one of the most outrageous stunts the Jackass guys were involved in.

Knoxville was the only one left after the bull managed to charge the others away, with him getting absolutely thrashed against the frame of the teeter-totter before making a lucky escape.

Jackass: Best and Last is available to watch in cinemas now.
