Shannon Gibbs Tennis Player In Jackass 4.5

Shannon Gibbs was a new introduction, along with the other star cast, in the film Jackass 4.5, released on Netflix. Shannon plays a role of a tennis player in the film.

Though they appeared in only one stunt in the film, they became the talk of the town because of their great tennis skills. In the scene, they are seen tormenting the Jackass cast members. Let us look at the scene-

The stunt named “Down The Clown” shows several members of the Jackass cast dressed up as a clown like that of the carnival game Down the Clown. They are stood up on a platform with their hands behind their backs.

Now Shannon comes and hits each of the members with tennis balls, and each one hit by the ball goes down. Some of the guys are hit multiple times; the last one standing on the platform is Steve-O.

While Shannon is seen serving, on other hand, Chris Pontius tells her where to hit the balls. With great accuracy, Shannon hits the tennis balls from a great distance between their legs.

Stunts in Jackass 4.5

Apart from “Down the Clown,” the film features several other stunts. The film contains a total of 23 stunts that were not a part of Jackass Forever. Let us look at some of the stunts from the movie.

Blindfold Race

As the name suggests, the cast members are blindfolded in this stunt. After this, the other cast members put different obstacles in their paths, like walls, marbles, etc. It is quite a fun scene to watch, as it involves a lot of chaos.

Ballknocker

In this stunt, the 2 largest cast members, wearing shiny silver suits, are suspended in the air. The smallest cast member wearing a similar suit covered with balloons is suspended between the two. Both the outer men are then let go, and they crash into the member in between.

Long Jump

A long jump for a stunt sounds pretty lame, doesn’t it? Like all other stunts in the movie, it also has a catch. Generally, in the game, the players land in a sand pit, but here, the players land on the bodies of the rest of the crew members lying on the ground.

Dark Shark’s Skydiving

It is possibly the greatest prank ever done. Dark Shark, terrified of heights, is pranked up in the air. He is made to believe that the plane is malfunctioning as the plane smokes up and the pilot abandons the plane. Dark seeing this believes there is no chance of him coming out of this alive. So, when he and his skydiving partner landed safely on the ground, Dark emerged as a new man.
