20 of the wildest 'Jacĸass' stunts

If you're wondering how you can possibly narrow down Jacĸass' wildest stunts from the very beginning up until now, you can't, but I did my best. Here are 20 of the most out-there, intense, and overall wild Jacĸass stunts that have ever been performed or attempted.

 
1 of 20

"Department Store Boxing"

"Department Store Boxing"
Paramount Pictures

"Boxing" was a fun bit that began in the Jacĸäss series and turned into the iconic "Department Store Boxing" for Jacĸäss: The Movie . The fight left Johnny Knoxville bleeding and concussed, but his last quip before being hauled off to the hospital, "Is Butterbean okay?" was the cherry on top.

"Off-Road Tattoo"

Steve-O has obviously been a part of some wild stunts, and as awful as "Off-Road Tattoo" must have been to experience, it was top-tier entertainment. What was supposed to be a smiley face turned out to be a splotchy blob, slightly resembling a smiley face that made for a nice memento from off-roading with Henry Rollins.

"Golf Cart Antics"

"Golf Cart Antics" was one of the first real dangerous stunts to be attempted by the Jacĸass crew. You wouldn't think much of a group of guys driving golf carts around and being idiots, but when one topples over, crushing Knoxville, it tends to stick in your mind.

"Alligator Tightrope"

Any stunt involving being around animals you should definitely not be near is automatically Jacĸäss territory. Well, that and dangling bait from your ass, anyway. Honestly, Steve-O got lucky with "Alligator Tightrope."

"Rent-A-Car Crash-Up Derby"

"Rent-A-Car Crash-Up Derby"
Paramount Pictures

"Rent-A-Car Crash-Up Derby" was the mother of all pranks, if you can even call it that. It's Knoxville saying, "We'll take good care of her," and then immediately spray-painting the car for me. At least he returned the demolished car with a full tank of gas.

"Riot Control Test"

"Riot Control Test"
Paramount Pictures

Johnny Knoxville pulls Bam Margera and Ryan Dunn into the "Riot Control Test" from the first movie for Jacĸass Number Two. It hurt enough to make Bam cry, but to quote Knoxville, "It's just loud."

"The Fish Hook"

"The Fish Hook"
Paramount Pictures

This is always a hard one to watch, so of course, it's on the list! Strangely, having a hook in his face wasn't even the wildest part of this stunt, as Steve-O almost got bitten by a shark.

 
8 of 20

"Anaconda Ball Pit"

Paramount Pictures

To learn after the fact that one of the anacondas took someone's calf off is a testament to how stupid "Anaconda Ball Pit" was. At least Knoxville's wrists were protected by the electrical tape.

"Toro Totter"

If there are bulls, there's bound to be some Grade-A footage. With Knoxville, Chris Pontius, Bam, and Dunn on the "Toro Totter," all bets are off. It's only right that Johnny be the last man standing.

"The Leech Healer"

Paramount Pictures

A lot of Steve-O stunts are difficult to watch, and "The Leech Healer" was no exception. I'm not sure you could find anyone else in the world who would be down for putting a leech on their eyeball.

 
11 of 20

"Big Red Rocket"

"Big Red Rocket"
Paramount Pictures

Despite its anti-climatic first attempt, this stunt was dangerous for many reasons. Things could have gone south quickly if Knoxville and the rest of the crew had made one wrong step, so for that, I happily welcome "Big Red Rocket" to the list.

 
12 of 20

"Poo Cocktail Supreme"

"Poo Cocktail Supreme"
Paramount Pictures

Jacĸäss 3D pulled out all the stops with "Poo Cocktail Supreme." This was, for sure, Steve-O's most extreme stunt up until that point, or at least his most disgusting.

"The Jet Ski"

"The Jet Ski"
Paramount Pictures

Driving a jet ski off of a ramp into the bushes — what could possibly go wrong? Knoxville is rightfully dubbed "the king of spring break," regardless of whether he actually stuck the landing.

 
14 of 20

"Lamborghini Tooth Pull"

"Lamborghini Tooth Pull"
Paramount Pictures

We all know that when it comes to Jacĸass stunts, the more outlandish, the better. So why not a "Lamborghini Tooth Pull"? Danger Ehren seriously took one for the team here that ultimately led to a fractured skull.

"The Christmas Tree"

"The Christmas Tree"
Paramount Pictures

The Dudesons joined the Jacĸass crew for "The Christmas Tree" stunt for the third installment, Jacĸass 3D! Knoxville, a.k.a. Santa, took quite the hit despite landing in the deep snow, ultimately breaking his collarbone.

"The Jet Engine"

"The Jet Engine"
Paramount Pictures

"The Jet Engine" was so funny and never gets old. The entire cast participated, and the majority walked away without any severe injuries, with the exception of Loomis Fall, who coincidentally also broke his collarbone. The best part of this stunt? Ryan.

 
17 of 20

"The Magic Trick"

"The Magic Trick"
Paramount Pictures

I'm going to file every other bull-related stunt under "The Magic Trick" because, as Knoxville's most intense (and hopefully last) encounter with a bull, Jacĸass Forever perfectly encapsulated his Jacĸass journey. It was certainly the one that left him with the most injuries.

"The Lie Detector Test"

"The Lie Detector Test"
Paramount Pictures

"The Lie Detector Test" sounds pretty tame, but there's always a twist, isn't there? Ehren is strapped to a chair during the lie detector test and is then doused with honey and salmon, and before we know it, there's a freaking bear. Thankfully, it didn't end up going for his hand.

"The Beekini"

"The Beekini"
Paramount Pictures

A return of a classic: "The Beekini" is a Jacĸass staple. After all of the things they've done with bees over the years, the "beekini" seemed like the obvious choice to recreate from season one of the series.

"Flight of Icarus"

"Flight of Icarus"
Paramount Pictures

The award for stunts involving people being launched into the air goes to Knoxville's "Flight of Icarus" for simply being shot out of a cannon and nailing it in one take. They sure have come a long way from the big red rocket.
