On the press tour for “Jackass Forever” earlier this yr, Johnny Knoxville insisted the fourth movie within the prank stunt franchise could be the final. In reality, he did so repeatedly, and it is smart, contemplating Knoxville and many of the veteran “Jackass” forged at the moment are of their fifties. But Variety experiences that Knoxville’s pranking days will not be over simply but, and somebody’s not glad about it.

Handyman Kahlil Khan filed a swimsuit in Long Beach Superior Court towards Knoxville after being the unwilling participant in a just lately filmed prank. Khan alleges he signed up for a easy restore job on TaskRabbit in October that escalated right into a “terrifying ordeal” involving a number of mischievous incidents. Here’s a play-by-play of the occasion.

Khan claims he entered the house on the pretense that he restore a dimmer change. However, shortly after beginning, the home-owner threatened to beat him up if he didn’t repair it accurately, saying, “I know jiu-jitsu.” A lamp went out quickly afterward, and a younger lady bumped into the room screaming, “You killed my pony.” Khan protested, however the home-owner and the lady led him to a different room in the home the place a pony appeared on a life-support machine. After that, Khan seemed exterior and noticed a truck towing away his automobile. He tried to name the police, however one of many males warned him that if he did, he could be arrested for cocaine possession, and brandished a bag of white powder.

At this level, Plaintiff was in a panic,” reads the lawsuit. “In the span of just minutes, he had been threatened with being beaten up, told he botched the repair job, accused of murdering a pony, had his car taken without his permission, and was now being told that he would be arrested for possession of illicit narcotics.” Knoxville quickly got here out of hiding and revealed to Khan that the entire incident was a prank, with all the contributors actors.

No phrase from Knoxville but concerning the incident or the lawsuit, however this actually makes it sound just like the “Jackass” crew is as much as their previous methods once more. Still, case apart, the entire affair feels much less like a bodily harmful stunt than a rigorously staged prank. So, not precisely a return to kind for Johnny Knoxville and his cronies if the stunt is certainly for a future “Jackass” movie.

“Jackass Forever” made $80 million on the field workplace, in the same vary as “Jackass: The Movie” and “Jackass Number Two.” But as an alternative of a brand new movie, this stunt is probably going a part of the brand new “Jackass” TV present Knoxville has arrange at Paramount+, due to the success of “Forever.” As far as “Jackass” stunts go, this one feels a bit of tame however little doubt traumatizing for Mr. Kahn. One wonders if it can have an effect on the Paramount+ present transferring ahead.
