"The Six Million Dollar Man." There was a companion series, "The Bionic Woman," starring Lindsay Wagner.

[@pockypimp]

Lee Majors was the "6 Million Dollar Man" not the Bionic man.

[@sephjnr]

@@actualkarenokboomer3158 Yeah, the Bionic Woman (Lindsay Wagner) was essentially the same gimmick. Both characters did a crossover arc.

[@actualkarenokboomer3158]

The part where she does the goofy thing when she is telling him about karaoke she says was her getting Goslinged. When they were walking back up the steps to do another take and they both like to ad lib, but she did something different he said she should do it and she did and it ended up in the movie. She said, "I looked like a dork and he was just grinning there and that is what it is like to be Goslinged".

[@DaviniaHill]

The roll they did was an actual world record.

[@actualkarenokboomer3158]

Yes and the guy doing it is the one who is dressed like Gosling and helps him out of the car.

[@axr7149]

Ryan Gosling has been on a roll this past year. Back-to-back comedies with one of them earning him an Oscar nomination (for playing a plastic doll no less), and then topping off with a guest gig on SNL (Beavis and Butthead especially has become iconic, and reaction worthy IMO).

[@ultmotive]

I agree! Though I'd argue Heidi breaking character was what made that episode of SNL iconic

[@covrtdesign5279]

I was going to say the same thing. Where did he come from in regards to this style of comedy acting? Unbelieveable how good he is.

[@Mark_TDD]

19:37 Fun fact: This was shot on location at the Sydney Harbour Bridge. They closed the entire bridge to film this scene, and they also had Ryan do some of his own stunts.

[@phdonnell]

Just a point of clarification, since it took me a minute to figure out - when he says he was doing stunts for Miami Vice, he means the stunt show at Universal Studios Hollywood, not the TV show. The stunt show lasted until the mid-90s and was replaced by the Waterworld stunt show, which is still there!

[@AidantheLegend]

The bromance between Ryan and Winston in this film was honestly thr highlight for me

[@robertlombardo8437]

Yeah man. When he rallied the other stunties and came to Ryan's rescue in the climax, I actually shouted "YEEEEAHH!" in the theater and made my girlfriend slap my shoulder.

[@aaronhusk]

Lee Majors and Heather were the stars of the original tv series. They were the two who came in arrested the bad guys at the end. Lee Majors also sang the original version of the theme song which had an updated version in the credits. The show and show version of the song were much better.

[@stevealford230]

I was literally infuriated by the time the final chorus was sung and STILL didn't say "... that made Eastwood such a star."

[@wanderingidle4848]

"One of the biggest actors is playing the stunt guy." This is based on a TV series from the 80's, but when I first watched it I had the same thought, and it reminded me of "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood", where Brad Pitt plays Leonardo DiCaprio's stunt double. The funny thing is the woman who plays the director of the movie they're filming in "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" is played by Zoë Bell, who is a stunt actress who was Uma Thurman's stunt double in the Kill Bill movies (among many other things), and Tarantino later cast her as herself in Death Proof - which itself is an homage to 70's practical stunts - and then gave her a bit role as the director in "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" which is in turn a movie about an actor and his stunt double. We're living in an era of stunt inception. I also love how they filmed the stunt guys filming the stunt guys filming the stunt guys filming the actors filming the actors playing stunt guys and played those clips during the credits (and Emily Blunt needs to do more less serious roles; she's funny and adorable, but is almost always doing something dark and serious).

[@jrnsurlan405]

Also Mary Poppins. Not that Dark & serious

[@benrast1755]

I grew up watching the original series, and it did my heart good to see they brought Lee Majors - the original Fall Guy - back for a cameo role. :-) Also loved that they used the original series theme song in the end credits.

[@swordmonkey6635]

The on screen chemistry between Emily and Ryan was what elevated this movie. It had great writing and acting, but the chemistry was perfect. Also, the brunette wasn't Ryan's agent. She was the executive producer on the movie.

That scene on the beach at beggining of the movie that car stunt with 8.5 car rolls. This movie breaks the Guinness World Record of the most car rolls (a fact which Gail actually mentions in the dialogue). The previous record was from the Bond movie Casino Royal (2006). In the credits scene (When the cops show up to arrest Gail and Tom Ryder) There is a cameo from the original cast of the 1981 series “The Fall Guy” with Heather Majors and Lee Majors Keep up the good work.

Ryan gosling has surprised me recently with how good he is at comedies, because I have always just linked him with the notebook and La la land.

[@JC-bh8qx]

Check out The Nice Guys. He's hysterical in that!

[@vampiremuffinman7183]

The Fall Guy Series was '81-86, but you should watch Hooper, which was made in '78. Also a stunt man homage with Sally Field and Burt Reynolds. I think the car jump at the end was 325 feet and set a record... I have a red '74 Trans Am, so I love it. 😻

[@geeebuttersnap2433]

The nice guys is another great Ryan Gosling movie, with Russel Crow, they play PI’s set in the 1970s, it’s loads of fun, and gosling kills it in that movie, two other great Gosling movies are Drive(where he plays a stunt driver) and Gangster Squad (with Josh Brolin) they play two WW2 veterans who became cops in LA set in the late 40’s (after the war ended obviously) and as the title says, they are part of the gangster squad, which are cops specifically picked to take down the biggest gangster in LA, it’s similar to untouchables, but since Untouchables is a legendary classic action movie, gangster squad had a lot going for it.

[@SewTubular]

One of my favorite movies ( that I don't think you've reviewed yet ) is "True Romance" (1993) script written by Quentin Tarantino and directed by Ridley Scott's brother, Tony Scott. ( he also directed the original "Top Gun" (1986) movie ) Margot Robbie had the music from "True Romance" playing at the end of her wedding, because she loved this movie so much...

[@jarekmiller4337]

My favorite movie of the year so far. So priceless and entertaining. Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt had beautiful chemistry ❤and I laughed so hard throughout the film 😂😂.

[@ChrisReise]

25:01 This movie is based on an 80's tv show called "The Fall Guy" starring Lee Majors as Colt Seavers and Heather Thomas as Jodi (yet they were not love interests in the show." You should really check it out if you have the chance.

[@kmkibble75]

If anyone is considering watching the full movie, I'd suggest the theatrical release over the Director's cut -- It's a much tighter film and a few of the jokes/bits have a much stronger setup because of that.

I agree!

I loved your reaction. Thanks for checking out the extended cut!

[@autumnsidhe2861]

If you're interested in another movie about stuntpeople, check out Hal Needham's Hooper(1978). It also has an incredible cast and Hal Needham is a famous stuntperson himself.

[@anandvijayan2033]

This version as whole different scenes compared to the one in the cinema

The one in the cloud is doctored and the only one left with the real people waa on Ryders phone. The bag and the gun wasn't in the theater version. Please watch the theater version because this one is really confusing. Gosling explains being terrified of heights and doing that drop at the beginning didn't cure him. His wife and daughters forbid him to do fire. They said, "Daddy don't catch on fire."

lee majors.. the original fall guy from the 80s tv series, turns up at the end.. perfection!

[@ponczi]

In my opinion, this is one of the coolest films of this year. This is a kind of tribute to all stuntmen who are often the heroes of the film, but underestimated. Additionally, watching this film in IMAX provided additional experiences. And yes, this Metalstorm soundtrack is a parody of Dune. What's funny, before Your reaction, there was an ad for Giorgio Armani perfumes, in which Taylor appeared, and I immediately associated it with the advertisement in the film. Pozdrawiam z Polski :)

[@kevinL5425]

Another action movie that also shows “behind the scenes” in the movie industry is F/X from 1986.

[@axr7149]

If you're interested in movies/shows that explore filmmaking in general, I think you will enjoy SUNSET BOULEVARD (1950) and especially THE BAD AND THE BEAUTIFUL (1952) (one of the best films in that genre). Even the recently released miniseries THE SYMPATHIZER has an episode based on that, with Robert Downey Jr. playing multiple roles with one of them being a Francis Ford Coppola-like director in that episode (RDJ might win an Emmy later this year to add to his Oscar).

[@tonihagan6330]

I loved this movie, too. I saw it in the theatre and then bought it. I've watched it countless times!!❤

[@firedoc5]

The 1980's "Fall Guy" TV show was a stuntman, Colt Severs, that did a side job of working for a bail bonds company which was ran by Markie Post. When this came out, I was hoping it was going to be more true to the TV show. Regardless, I did like it. Really like Emily Blunt as a blonde. For an old school stuntman movie, check out "Hooper" with Burt Reynolds.

[@tomuxs13]

Aaron Taylor Johnson is incredibly charismatic in Bullet Train, I highly recommend it, its got the perfect blend of comedy and action.

Great Reaction........ I was a Big Fan of the TV Series that aired when I was in High School..... When I heard about this movie I was worried about it being to far off the Theme/Spirit from the TV Series....... "The Unknown Stuntman" Song was the theme song for the credits, and was sung by Actor Lee Majors who has the Cameo as the cop at the End/After Credit scene......And it looks like the Blonde Lady with him is Heather Thomas who played a Character Named Jody Banks in the TV Series......

[@stevealford230]

The version in the movie pissed me off... it didn't change the chorus like the Lee Majors tv show did, instead just repeating the worst version of the chorus every time... it was so annoying that it evolved into infuriating by the time the final chorus was sung and STILL didn't say "... that made Eastwood such a star."

[@snorpenbass4196]

Semi-jokingly: I wouldn't be surprised if the Scientologists are behind the bad reviews, seeing as the main villain is a parody of Tom Cruise (among several, but mainly Cruise "I do my own stunts!" in movies that would never get any kind of green light if the mega-star literally risked his life filming it - I know people claim he did in interviews, but seriously, that's PR interviews, aka big fat lies). 😉😁

The actress playing Iggy Star, also played Number 6 in the movie "I Am Number 4". Unfortunately it wasn't quite what movie fans wanted to accept at the time and it's still now known as a flop. It COULD have been a good franchise. But sadly no. It died. Just like "The Mortal Instruments" It lacked any lasting impressions. Which also brings to my mind the movie "The Mortal Engines". It too could have been good but too many people felt it was a sad excuse for a Mad Max rip-off. It was actually so much more to be honest.
