Watch Ryan Gosling Perform His Own Stunt in ‘The Fall Guy’ | Anatomy of a Scene

Spicy margaritas, bad decisions and one big stunt make up this sequence from “The Fall Guy.”
Ryan Gosling stars as a stuntman named Colt Seavers alongside Emily Blunt as a cinematographer, Jody Moreno. In this flashback, the two have a flirty conversation over the radio about having a drink after work as Colt prepares for a stunt on set.
For the scene, which involves Gosling’s character falling several stories inside a building, the “Fall Guy” director David Leitch said they opted to create the moment practically and have Gosling perform the stunt himself. This meant hooking the actor to a rig called a descender, used to drop a stunt performer off a building, and then a mechanism provides deceleration for the final 10 feet.

I think there should be awards for the people who do stunts.

[@MeerkatADV]

There are.

[@iggswanna1248]

@@MeerkatADV yep the award of "watch everyone getting oscars except you, stuntmen"

[@Puppy_Puppington]

Same. Lots of them…

[@jasonavila_camOP_DP_Actor]

The reason there aren't is because the people running the oscars are afraid it will motivate stuntpeople to do crazier and crazier stunts. Stunts are incredibly dangerous, and they don't want stunt people going to the extreme to put themselves in danger for each shot. However, I do agree there should be more recognition for stunt actors, but an award may not be the way to go.

[@mittenil2972]

I gave an award to your mom last night for the stunts she pulled.

[@FishareFriendsNotFood972]

Extremely well shot scene, love when it panned to straight down

[@owtena]

The fact that he is actually afraid of heights in real life makes this scene much more impressive! You can actually see it on his face that he is scared but he hiding it so well! Amazing actor!!

[@manuelorozco7760]

I can relate to being afraid of heights a little bit

[@LocalIntl]

You can see his hands tremble when he lets go of the support rope. What a friggin champion

[@BarkerCarlock]

I don't think this movie got the recognition it deserved at the box office. It was brilliantly directed!

Glad to hear this, as it got dragged by some content creators.

Fall guy is the best movie 2024 Tom cruise like movie

[@manuelorozco7760]

I came back a while ago from watching the movie. The Fall Guy is solidly entertaining and exhilarating! But after the (spider alert) cause of the injury was revealed, I won’t look at this shot from the same perspective.

[@mc1993]

What do you know, so did I. I wanted to walk out at 3 different times. It was a nonsensical mess with gold fish memory and I've seen better explosions at gender reveal parties.

[@mc1993]

@@HalJordan661 No, just stupid movies. It's as if the script was written in parts by 3 twelve year old kids, and each kid had no idea what the other wrote. Then it was filmed and edited in whole with no one checking continuity.

Murica. Where falling is acting.

[@Puppy_Puppington]

wtf. You do know that the most legendary action/stunt work is not in America… right???? HONG KONG… And they’re paying a poor homage to classic Jackie Chan stunts and John wuuuuu…..

[@Lululululee]

Such a weird premise for an action movie. Where is the creativity? the edginess ? meh

[@MegInWhispers]

it's more of a romance / action / comedy shining a light on rea stunt people and film making

[@Bobsbobss]

Get over yourself

[@manuelorozco7760]

I didn’t expect too much or too little. But the finished product became split down the middle but still worth the money.

[@albutcher9152]

It's not an "action Movie". It's an action comedy movie.

0:36 Apropo "NASA" jacket-emblem . Glenn was humiliated by dogs and apes as astronauts on equal foot to stear the spacecraft up and down.

Buzz Aldrin had to write an anti-apes astronautic resolution manual instead of the autopilot a hand-steared space_aircraft-module.

Desperdicié dinero comprando el ticket para ver este bodrio. By far la peor película del año. Emily Blunt es una muy buena actriz, no sé que le pasó al aceptar filmar este fracaso.
