JOHNNY KNOXVILLE STARS IN THE OUTRAGEOUS COMEDY

JACKASS PRESENTS: BAD GRANDPA

Debuting January 28, 2014, Blu-ray Combo Includes Uproarious Unrated Cut
Plus Over an Hour of Deleted and Behind-the-Scenes Footage

 

HOLLYWOOD, Calif.  –  “The year’s funniest movie” (Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune), the boisterous road tripJACKASS PRESENTS: BAD GRANDPA hits the gas on January 28, 2014 when it arrives on Blu-ray Combo Pack, DVDand VOD from Paramount Home Media Distribution.  Jackass ringleader Johnny Knoxville reprises his role as 86-year-old Irving Zisman in the story of a crotchety old man unexpectedly saddled with the care of his 8-year-old grandson, Billy (Jackson Nicoll). The two generations of troublemakers soon develop a bond, as they hustle their way across the heartland of America pursuing hijinks and pulling pranks on unsuspecting, real-life people—all of whom had no idea they were starring in a hidden camera film and “one of the sharpest comedies of the year.”(Scott Bowles, USA Today).

“We had so much hilarious footage that we had to cut for various reasons, so I’m psyched that people are going to get to see everything, especially when it’s unrated and on Blu-ray.  Woohoo!!” said Johnny Knoxville.  “Plus I think fans will get a kick out of seeing how we pulled off some of the pranks in the behind-the-scenes footage.  As Irving would say, ‘The show’s not over until I hogwrench the fat lady’s spatooly.'”
