My gf made me watch the Fall Guy, and to my surpise it was not about the video game and instead was about stuntmen. It was a very stupid (in the best way) rom com with tons of fantastic stunts. It was a bit masturbatory but it was very entertaining. It’s one of those movies you feel like everyone involved had a good time.
Has anyone else seen it and if so what are your troughts?
Rewatched it a few times. It’s a great movie, especially if you’re in to real stunts. Basically an homage to the stunt people of cinema. And the story is good too lol. Yeah I think you’re right when you say they had a good time making this.
This? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Action_(TV_series) can’t say I have
No, this one https://m.imdb.com/title/tt29233308/ about 87North and making The Fall Guy, John Wick, etc. It’s worth watching.
Great movie, underrated for sure. Their maketing missed opportunities to showcase the point well.
The movie is all practical stunts, broke multiple world records for stunts, and was made to celebrate old school stunt work and filmmaking.
The plot is blatantly corny and cheesy, but in a way that I felt was way funnier than expected, it’s a great time!
There’s also a documentary about the stunts behind the scenes that was surprisingly fantastic. I think it was on Peacock? Worth checking out.
I quite liked it. It was pretty shallow which was fine, I wasn’t there to think. The story was over the top but still interesting.
It leaned on the action (which was great) but nothing suffered for it. Worth a watch for sure
Yeah, it really is way better than I thought it would be.
It felt like a long episode of the original show, but managed to skip some of the 80s silliness, replacing it with 2ks silliness.
It isn’t high art, and it doesn’t need to be. It’s a simple action romp with great stunts.
I thought it would suck, taking nothing but the name of the show and they pissing on it the way most of these nostalgia movies do.
The Fall Guy was a solid 1980s show whose premise in hind sight was odd.
