"Hi, I'm Brad Pitt, and I'm gonna get abducted," Pitt said in the segment.

The Pitt footage centers on a prank set at Pink's Hot Dogs in Los Angeles. Pitt was standing in line when the Jackass crew arrived in a black van and hauled him away.

The version of the footage in Best and Last runs longer than what aired on television in 2002. In the original broadcast, a line from cast member Chris Pontius telling Pitt he was a "great actor" was heard only as a voiceover.

The film shows Pontius actually delivering the line on camera, footage that was not part of the original episode.

Cast member Steve-O spoke to Entertainment Weekly about filming the segment with Pitt.

"It was wild. The year was 2001, so that's 25 years ago. Brad Pitt was a young man. We were all young men, and God, it was just cool. He was cool," he said. Steve-O also noted that Pitt was fully committed, he did not want the team to hold back or go easy on him.

Jackass: Best and Last marks the end of a 25-year run for the franchise and its central figure, Knoxville.

Knoxville has cited a brain hemorrhage, broken wrist and concussion he suffered during the filming of Jackass Forever in 2021 as a key factor in his decision to step away from the series.
