Paramount Pictures and MTV Films bring back the JACKASS boys for more outrageous puerile hijinks with a BORAT-like JACKASS spin-off based on the fan favourite BAD GRANDPA. The comedy uses the now familiar fake documentary, woven into a narrative premise, with Johnny Knoxville playing the 86 year-old title character to get the laughs alongside his ‘grandson’. If you missed the first trailer you can find it HERE but today we bring the first poster from the film released in the both the US and UK on the 25th October. JACKASS regular Jeff Tremaine directs.
86-year-old Irving Zisman is on a journey across America with the most unlikely companions, his 8 year-old Grandson Billy in “Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa”. This October, the signature Jackass character Irving Zisman (Johnny Knoxville) and Billy (Jackson Nicholl) will take movie audiences along for the most insane hidden camera road trip ever captured on camera.
Along the way Irving will introduce the young and impressionable Billy to people, places and situations that give new meaning to the term childrearing. The duo will encounter male strippers, disgruntled child beauty pageant contestants (and their equally disgruntled mothers), funeral home mourners, biker bar patrons and a whole lot of unsuspecting citizens.
Real people in unreal situations, making for one really messed up comedy.

Craig was our great north east correspondent, proving that it’s so ‘grim up north’ that losing yourself in a world of film is a foregone prerequisite. He has been studying the best (and often worst) of both classic and modern cinema at the University of Life for as long as he can remember. Craig’s favorite films include THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, JFK, GOODFELLAS, SCARFACE, and most of John Carpenter’s early work, particularly THE THING and HALLOWEEN.
