The Fall Guy Movie

[SpeedBash]

Official Trailer

[The Gauge]

That looks bad, very bad, but in a good way.

[Muzzer79]

I still remember the original.

That brown/gold pick up is on the list of TV cars I lusted after, along with the General Lee, KITT, A-Team van, etc

Indeed.

It doesn't look a patch on the original series and he's no Lee Majors, but as a silly film it looks perfect for a tired Friday evening.

I will be watching that, what not to like car crashes and Emily Blunt.

[Bright Halo]

Looks mega cheesy but yes I will be watching.

Yep, looks like fun

[DeejRC]

HOW??? HOW????!!! HOW…does that look bad??
That looks BRILLIANT!!!!!

He’s too pretty and too Gosling, but that’s just a quibble over the awesome grunchy cynicism that was Lee Majors.

Can’t wait for this

No need to go to the cinema, I feel like I've already seen the film. What happened to trailers that tittilated rather than showed everything?

[maniac886]

David Leitch has directed some decent films so looking forward to this. Enjoyed the trailer!

[Timbergiant]

The trailer shows too much of the movie but I do like what its showing, I already love it.

[Greenmantle]

needs more Heather Thomas...

[anonymous-user]

"Blake Shelton performed a modernized cover of the television series theme song for the film."

This sounds promising although I hope they haven't changed any of the lyrics for "modern audiences".

I loved the Fall Guy as a child, looking forward to this.

There are some old episodes on Sky at the moment

Ooh, so does she play the Heather Thomas role (i.e. wandering around in a series of bikinis seemingly made from Dairylea triangles and fishing line) or the Markie Post role?

Either way, I'm in...

At 0:40 in the trailer it looks like they've reused the truck. Why they didn't use the song (even if updated) in the trailer I don't know.

Yeah I watched the Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes trailer right before this one and literally said the same, both first trailers but couldn't have been more different in what they showed. I imagine KOTPOTA will have a few more before release and with Fall Guy the plots not the most important part.

I had no idea this used to be a TV show, never even heard of it. Film looks like good fun though, I do love Emily Blunt and Ryan Gosling so don't see how this won't be enjoyable with them both and the strong 80s vibe running through the film.

[Radec]

The only thing I can remember from the original is that pick up.

This looks silly but I'll still watch it.

[dxg]

It looks stupid.

As in, a good old fashioned, brain disengaged, stupid fun film.

[Gretchen]

I’ve just watched the trailer (and probably the entire movie judging by the trailer). I LOVE IT. I was a huge fan of the original series. I may have the box set Can’t wait for this. But March 2024!!


ETA My other half has just informed he’s not only never seen but never heard of The Fall Guy!! I feel, let down, disappointed.

Also just googled the cast and Lee Majors is listed
