What is Jackass Forever about? Film's end credit explained

Jackass Forever is the fourth installment in the Jackass franchise. Directed by Jeff Tremaine, the film brings back to fans a range of familiar faces as well as new ones for some exciting stunts, pranks, and gross-out gags. However, fans of the series must be wondering whether one of the most iconic members of the crew, Bam Margera, features in the new film.

Margera does appear in Jackass Forever but only very briefly, in the credit sequence of the film. The credits sequence features new stunts shot for the movie with archive footage of the gang performing similar stunts in the past. Margera appears in the archive footage and also during the marching band treadmill stunt in the main movie. He features in only one stunt. It is essentially a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment. There are 49 names appearing in the credits and Margera's is the 45th.

Margera filmed more content for the film but only a single scene featuring him was kept. However, he was involved with the film in ways beyond his single scene and was responsible for more than just his own stunts. He wrote and created a variety of the stunt-filled scenes seen in Jackass Forever which was included with the intention of keeping Margera’s influence in the film.

However, he perceived this negatively and pulled a lawsuit against Paramount to claim the credit he believes that he deserves for his involvement in the film.

Why was Bam Margera fired?

Bam Margera was recruited to the Jackass franchise cast from his former skateboarding stunt group CKY, which produced prank-based videos. From the beginning he was heavily involved with the Jackass project and devised many stunts, pranks, and comedy sketches, eventually gaining his own spin-off MTV series, Viva La Bam. Unfortunately, Margera developed a troubling case of alcoholism, and his most recent relapse caused Paramount to fire him from Jackass Forever. His conduct and actions were considered a breach of contract.
