Many believed 2010’s “Jackass 3D” was meant to be the closing chapter in the saga of men hurting themselves for the entertainment of many. It certainly felt like a grand finale, with the production adding 3D touches to best place the stunts and pranks right in the face of the viewer, providing a lasting jolt of physical harm. The gang has been away for 12 years, but with the world in a such dire condition lately, its time to laugh again. Or at least wince. Lots of wincing. “Jackass Forever” is the fourth installment of the series, with Johnny Knoxville and his crew returning to duty, mixing old, battered faces with a new generation of fans/volunteers ready to prove themselves worthy of the “Jackass” name. Once again, big fun is found with the endeavor, but the gray hairs are more pronounced this time around, gags are repeated, and it’s all well and good when a cast member soils himself in his twenties, but when they’re 51, it’s probably time to retire.
