10 Intense Recent Movie Scenes You Couldn't Watch

9. Johnny Knoxville Is Gored By A Bull - Jackass Forever

Jackass Forever marked a fascinating changeover for the series, as the legacy cast members largely confined themselves to more gross-out stunts while the group's younger newcomers took most of the brutal hits.

That is, except, for Johnny Knoxville, who suffered one of his most horrifying injuries yet while performing a stunt called The Magic Trick.

Knoxville attempts to perform a magic trick while being charged by a bull, and predictably ends up being violently gored, causing him to flip end-on-end and land on his head.

The skit resulted in Knoxville suffering a broken rib, a broken wrist, a concussion, and a hemorrhage on his brain, and given that Knoxville talked-up the stunt and his injuries prior to the film's release, it was wince-inducing to watch knowing full well what was coming.

Of all the gnarly and disgusting things in Jackass Forever, seeing a 50-year-old man suffer potentially life-threatening injuries at the hands of a bull called "P*cker Wrecker" was by far the toughest thing to sit through.

Seeing a young, bouncy Knoxville get flipped over by a bull 20 years ago might've been hilarious, but in 2022, everyone watching just hoped he came out of it OK.
