Jackass Finale Features Bam Margera's Unseen Scenes
26 Jun
Summary
- Bam Margera's unseen archival footage is featured in the final Jackass movie.
- Margera approved the use of his footage but declined to film new material.
- The film revisits a 'Silence of the Lambs' scene with restored Margera footage.
"Jackass: Best and Last," announced as the franchise's final installment, incorporates archival footage of Bam Margera. Margera, who was fired from "Jackass Forever" and subsequently filed a wrongful termination lawsuit, gave permission for his older material to be used. He declined an invitation to film new scenes for the movie, a decision the "Jackass" team respects.
The film includes restored footage of Margera from the "Silence of the Lambs" prank featured in "Jackass Forever." This prank involved cast members being placed in a dark room with a supposed rattlesnake. Margera's original presence in this segment, which was cut from the previous film, has now been reinstated.
While "Jackass: Best and Last" mixes new stunts with nostalgic moments, Margera is not part of any new material. His involvement is limited to revisiting past content, specifically footage related to his fear of snakes. Cast members like Steve-O expressed happiness that Margera's footage was included, noting it's a shame he couldn't be more involved.
Margera has cited significant PTSD from his departure from "Jackass Forever" as the reason for not wanting new involvement. He has stated he is too hurt by the past events and has accepted not wanting anything more to do with the franchise.
