The Matrix and Superbad are two of the best movies, Johnny Knoxville is the coolest man alive, you don’t have to move away from the taste you had in high school
— Mr. Chau (@Srirachachau) February 9, 2022Knoxville is thoroughly enjoying his return to the spotlight, with the fifth film instalment in the franchise currently sitting on 87% on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, and a 93% approval rating from the audience.
On a budget of $10 million, the film has already grossed $33 million. The box office successes will come as good news to MTV and Paramount, who greenlit Jackass 4.5 last June.
