Why We Never Got To See Jackass 4
There’s been speculation about another Jackass sequel since the credits rolled on Jackass 3D in 2010. That last incarnation of the gross-out prankfest was so popular that Paramount released Jackass 3.5 a year later, which was full of unrated and outtakes from 3D. But fans still haven’t had their fill of the death-defying stunts and excrement-centered pranks they’ve grown to love in the first three movies. In the six years since Jackass 3.5, there’s been a ton of buzz about the next installment. Paramount Pictures supposedly registered a bunch of Jackass 4-related domain names. Johnny Knoxville said in a Reddit AMA that there were “no plans for another movie,” but they were “open to doing another.” Director Jeff Tremaine announced it would be shot in Australia, and Bam Margera even let it slip that they were toying with a Jackass sequel named in honor of the crew’s late buddy, Ryan Dunn. So why hasn’t another sequel happened yet? Is there a worldwide shortage of tasers and poo-cannons that we’re unaware of? Not quite. Here’s why we never got to see Jackass 4…
