Bam continued to appear in Jackass: The Movie, Jackass Number Two, Jackass 3D, and Jackass 3.5. Various skits in the first Jackass film were CKY-style plays shot in and around West Chester, but similar scenes in the second film were deleted after Vincent’s uncle Margera Bam was arrested on suspicion of touching inappropriately two minors.
