The Fall Guy 4K UHD Review – including Extended Cut!

A down-and-out stuntman must find the missing star of his ex-girlfriend’s blockbuster film. (from IMDB)

The Fall Guy may have been a TV series, starring Lee Majors, way back in the 80s, but it highlighted the unsung heroes of the film industry: The stuntmen. Director David Leitch was a stuntman himself who wanted to make a feature film loosely based on the popular TV series in an effort to bring more attention to these life-risking stars. The film follows renowned stuntman, Colt Seavers, who disappears after an accident leaves him with a serious back injury. He’s called back to work a year and a half after the accident when his frequent producer, Gail, enlists his help for the debut film from director Jody Banks who used to be Colt’s serious girlfriend. But as Colt tries to settle into his job on Jody’s movie, he’s tasked with tracking down the lead actor who has suddenly gone missing. In the process, he’s pulled into a dangerous mystery that has him risking his life in a whole new way.

The Fall Guy is that kind of blockbuster action film that feels like a real summer movie. Its release in May is fitting, too, as the film boasts two popular, attractive Hollywood stars in Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt, and more stunts and action than your typical action flick. The world of The Fall Guy is tongue-in-cheek if not completely meta, as Cole finds himself in stunt-heavy action sequences in his real life, which has Gosling often replaced by an actual stuntman in reality, too. It’s stunts within stunts and elaborate action sequences that really push the boundaries of what we know would be the normal role of a stuntman. And even as Cole is acting out stunts for Jody’s film, we see huge stunts acted out before our very eyes that are also stunts for the very movie we’re watching. It’s a bit mind-twisting, but David Leitch is clearly pulling out all the stops and having an absolute blast doing it. It’s a movie dedicated to stuntmen everywhere and tailormade for the viewers who just love action movies. Leitch also wraps it in a fun, comedy-heavy packaging, and has no problem with going over-the-top several times.

First, the good. The movie is just plain fun. The romantic aspect of the story is sweet and vulnerable, if not even wholesome, as we know Colt and Jody are made for each other, but Colt’s response to his back injury pushes the two apart for a time. As they reunite, it’s not this bitter, angry, drawn-out backlash that bombards the audience with one “I’m too hurt to talk to you” type scene after another. Yeah, there’s some of the expected tension when they reunite, but it’s made very clear that both parties here are wrestling with their feelings but willing to work things out. It makes the romantic storyline bearable, if not enjoyable to watch. (Plus, let’s face it; Blunt and Gosling are pretty cute together in this, so it’s super easy to root for the two here.) Gosling is great in the leading role as a cool but down-to-earth kinda guy who just happens to be awesome at stuntwork. And because of his years of experience acting out fights and knowing how to sort-of “safely” take a fall, when his real-life action sequences breakout, he’s got the skills for defending himself. Gags about props, taking hits, and any number of using everyday objects during a fight sequence flood the film, and it’s just one big enjoyable feast for the eyes.

Now the not-so-good. There’s a steady, consistent stream of profanity throughout the movie, that is most frequently the “S” word, but also includes one or two uses of the “F” word and the occasional instance of blasphemy. It’s definitely unnecessary. Otherwise, the finale kind of devolves into a rather silly, over-the-top extravaganza that almost seems as goofy as the beach fight in Barbie (or the news team fight from Anchorman), or much-too-much like this year’s Argylle. The movie starts out pretty grounded (much like Argylle did), but continues to up the ante and go for hightened reality until there’s no semblance of reality left (also like Argylle). Still, most of the silliness happens around our heroes (with them often reacting to it), instead of directly involving them (unlike Argylle), and even though the climax ends up being much-too-much, it isn’t quite enough to derail the film entirely or invalidate everything that came before it.

The Fall Guy is surprisingly a bit of a slowburn. At first, the story goes heavy into the romance between Colt and Jody and the drama the follows Colt’s accident. It makes for a slow intro, but once the action sequences intrude on Colt’s personal life – starting with a drug-fueled club action sequence – the movie launches into a full-on action movie with a reluctant hero out in front.

Aside from the hefty amount of cussing (with over 30 uses of the “S” word leading the pack), there is some subtle sexual content that is mostly left to a few suggestive remarks, but it’s nothing explicit. Amidst the unending string of violence in the second half of the film, most of it isn’t very graphic, but we do see a dead person in a bathtub with their eyes open and blood on their temple. Later we see a video of a person lying on the ground dead after accidentally hitting their head. And at one point, Colt is seen strapped to a chair and being beated with blood streaming down his whole face (and a nasty cut on the bridge of his nose). Other characters sustain some bloody injuries to their faces, and we briefly see a character get stabbed in the leg with a pen and it sticking out of the wound. In an end credits scene, we also see someone get consumed in explosions around them. Again, it’s a super violent movie, but most of it is done to showcase elaborate stunts for stunts’ sake, and isn’t meant to be ultra graphic.

The Fall Guy is a big, fun summer movie that you just can’t take seriously (and shouldn’t). Due to its focus on the art of film industry stuntwork, the movie goes to great lengths to honor the men and women who help some of the biggest – and some of your favorite – movies come to fruition by standing in for the stars to make a scene come to life. If you love a good action movie, or especially one that has a decent helping of romance mixed in, then The Fall Guy is right up your alley.

The 4K UHD release of The Fall Guy includes the feature film in 4K with two different versions – Theatrical and Extended Cut – on two 4K discs, a Blu-Ray disc with bonus features, along with a 4K MoviesAnywhere digital copy. The Extended Cut is 20 minutes longer, adding in one entirely cut action sequence and lots of little pieces of character-centric dialog-driven moments. Before addressing the bonus features, let’s take a look at the Extended Cut.

The Fall Guy: Extended Cut (2 hours, 26 minutes) – While technically Not Rated, the Extended Cut of The Fall Guy still qualifies for a PG-13 rating, with some non-graphic action violence added in, and some more profanity. If you liked the Theatrical Version enough, this Extended Cut just might be the definitive version for you going forward. However, at almost 2-and-a-half hours in length, it does feel a little too long. However, it’s a fun action romantic comedy, so in this case, more isn’t a bad thing. (Plus, how many of us binge multiple episodes of a TV show in one sitting? This is basically the length of four 40-minute shows back-to-back.) Added in are a lot of little pieces of extra dialog – some pretty funny, too – between various characters, and most likely some alternate footage as well. I’ll describe some of the new stuff next, but keep in mind, you may find it a bit SPOILER-y… Some of the most significant differences include the series of scenes in which Colt finds himself drugged by Doone, Tom Ryder’s drug dealing friend. First of all, the unicorn he keeps seeing, as a result of the drug, now talks to him (and he kind of sounds like Barney the purple dinosaur, which is pretty funny). The scene where he’s running from Doone and his goons is prolonged considerably, adding in an entirely new scene where he chases Doone into a warehouse and we seem Colt parkouring all over the place. It also explains a little clearer why he decides to let Doone’s car hit him at one point, since he’s trying to get some information out of him about who’s behind all the mystery. The cut Colt gets on his face is also actually from him jumping through a tram window, which isn’t shown in the Theatrical Version at all. (The cut just randomly appears, presumably from falling or something.) Another significant difference is, when Tom is interrogating Colt, he ends up executing Doone and Kevin from the hotel by his guys putting bags over their heads and having them shot off screen. It makes Tom’s character all that more dirty and ruthless. Later, when Colt is trying to get Tom to admit his crimes, he adds in the murder of Doone and Kevin. Other moments are relatively minor, but they add in some extra details to round out the plot and characters more (Like Alma and Colt having a longer conversation, which explains more clearly what her involvement is. It’s much more than what the Theatrical Version shows). Overall, while the Theatrical Version may be slightly brisker and more tightly paced, this lengthier version fills in some blanks and makes the end result somewhat stronger, so I’d probably turn to this one primarily in the future. (I’ve detailed the content at the bottom of the page, in case you’re interested in learning more. While it’s 20 minutes more of content, the bulk of it is still in the Theatrical Version, although that content summary for that one is less thorough.) As a side note regarding the profanity, I had seen the movie once in the theater and once at a drive-in, and I was pretty certain I heard Tom use the “F” word in a scene where we see a video playing from a phone. The home video release of both versions use “freakin'” though. It’s possible they actually removed it, but I most likely just misheard it. It’s funny, because I remember seeing Transformers: Dark of the Moon on disc and was surprised that Michael Bay had clearly added the F word into a scene. (Which is odd to me.) Anyway, my biggest issue with the movie remains to be the frequent cussing, so if that’s an issue for you too, I’d recommend checking it out on streaming using an editing service like VidAngel (which does have this movie as an edited option – although it might just be the Theatrical Version).

Also, the movie looks fantastic in 4K UHD. I’m a firm believer in physical (disc) media being better than streaming, and after seeing a recent video online where director Christopher Nolan emphasized the same thing (since streaming quality varies and is often compressed), and I have to say this one definitely does not disappoint. It’s a colorful and vibrant movie, and the clarity is also particularly noticeable – especially on disc.

Special Features:

• Gag Reel (4:38) – This little gag reel is a collection of mistakes made on set and the actors breaking into laughter. It’s actually one of the better gag reels I’ve seen in a while (and really kind of cute). (Contains 3 bleeped out “F” words, 1 “Oh J-sus,” 1 “h*ll,” and 1 “a**h*le”)
• Alternate Takes (5:54) – This is a little montage of random ad-libs and alternate takes from filming. First, we get variations on Colt’s reactions to getting drugged in the nightclub, then Ryder screaming different things during the stunt car jump. After that, we see the guy during the valet scene giving ad-libbed comments on Colt’s accident, followed by Jody and Colt talking when he first shows up on her set. We then get a couple variations on Colt landing a high jumo onto the yacht, with different lines from Ryder, and then added dilaog during the interrogation scene (which is pretty funny). (Contains 5 “S” words, 1 “d*mn,” 1 “g*dd*mn,” 1 bleeped out “F” word)
• Stunts on stunts: breaking down the action (19:08)
  • City Truck Jump / Sidewinder (3:02) – You can watch all of the “Stunts on Stunts” parts individually or via a Play All option. First up is the pickup truck jump in the city. Stuntman Logan Holladay subs for all of Ryan’s driving stunts, and we see some footage of them planning out the stunt and then executing it. (And they had to be precise since a jump like this totally renders the vehicle undriveable afterwards.) They then showed how they pulled off the stunt where Colt abandons the truck and it crashes into a row of parked cars.
  • Garbage Bin (3:58) – This one shows Ryan actually doing the stunt where he road-surfs on the truck door, and we see some great behind-the-scenes footage from that. They also reveal that, when the bin spins along the city streets, they actually had Ryan in there for some of the footage. Lastly, they reveal that the dog Jean Claude was based on a real dog Ryan used to have that answered only to French commands. (1 bleeped out “F” word)
  • Boat Chase (3:33) reveals the detail and planning that went into this sequence, and how they ran quite a few tests beforehand, and then found it was executed perfectly! They also reveal that they really did make an explosion outside the actual Sydney Opera House in Australia, and then talked about filming Colt’s escape from the fiery wreck and how they pieced it all together.
  • Car Jump (3:42) – This is all about that huge, long-distance car jump in the finale. They actually built the stunt car from scratch for this sequence, and tested it with many jumps beforehand. (1 bleeped out “F” word)
  • High Fall (4:53) – To do a lot of the action with the helicopter, they had it mounted to a gimbal. And for Colt’s leap from the helicopter to the airbag below, they used the son of a famous retired stuntman, who followed in his father’s footsteps, to make the jump. They actually were able to track down the exact airbag that his father made his final jump on and use it for his son for this stunt! (1 “Oh G-d,” and a shot of Colt flashing 2 middle fingers as he jumps off the helicopter)
• Making a Meta Masterpiece (16:05) – With this movie, the filmmakers wanted to honor stuntmen – especially since the director was once a stuntman himself. They talk about how, at first, they had trouble “cracking” the script, and decided to just settle for an origin story for Colt. They had always wanted Ryan Gosling for the role, and Ryan talks about having to face his fear of heights by actually doing the big fall at the beginning of the film. The featurette continues to break down each character, and how some are caricatures of real types of people in the film industry, and reveal that Jody’s journey in the movie mirrors the director’s and producer’s personal experiences. Before it ends, they cover Winston Duke practicing for the fight scenes, and getting the chance to shoot in Sydney. (2 “S” words, 1 “a” word)
• How to Break a World Record (6:06) – Here they cover their aggressive attempt to break the world’s record of 7 car cannon rolls with the roll that Colt does on set early in the film. After lots of research and practice, they actually did it with 8 and a half rolls! (3 bleeped out “F” words)
• Nightclub Mayhem (3:31) is about planning out Colt’s hallucinogenic club fight, going through the choreography, shortening it during filming, and having Ryan actually perform the fight himself for authenticity.
• The Art of Doubling (4:24) – This one is about Ryan’s professional body double, Ben Jenkin, and the types of stunts he did in place of Ryan – like being lit on fire! (2 bleeped out “F” words)
• Making MetalStorm (4:33) – To come up with a title for the movie-within-a-movie, they scoured titles that Warner Bros. owned and picked this one. And since it was almost like an entirely different movie altogether, they had to design the characters and sets for it as well. (Oddly enough, considering all the language in the film, there’s one bleeped-out “S” word from Emily)
• Falling for The Fall Guy with Bob Reese (4:25) – Professional parkour athlete and influencer Bob Reese recreates several jump stunts in the film. First, he recreates the jump through the scissor lift from the scene that’s only in the Extended Cut, and then practicing the parkour jump from the same sequence. He then practices jumping off a building onto cushions below, and finally, doing the helicopter jump from the top of the scissor lift.
• Feature Commentary with Director/Producer David Leitch and Producer Kelly McCormick [Available on both theatrical and extended cuts]

All in all, I really enjoyed these extras, and I’d recommend them to anyone who enjoyed the film and wants to learn a little more about how they were able to make it all come together.

THEATRICAL VERSION
 Sex/Nudity: While awkwardly talking with Jody, Colt says she “looks good in nothing” and she looks stunned. He tries to say that’s not what he means, and then says “Well, you do, but that’s not what I meant”; When Jody tries to get Colt to publicly explain why he ghosted her after his injury, she makes suggestive remarks about getting a “revenge body” and having had a series of wild flings with other men in the aftermath. In an effort to make him jealous, she adds “it was like a sushi train” and he reacts in a disgusted manner; While talking with Gail the producer, she tries to explain how she puts a message inside all of her movies, usually disguising it, and refers to it as “sexy bacon.” Colt reacts in a confused (and somewhat irritated) manner and tries to get her to clarify that the “sexy bacon” is what disguises the story and the audience is like dogs. And Gail refers to Jody as Colt’s “sexy bacon”; Jody defensively refers to their relationship as “just a fling” a few times; Jody and Colt are shown making out in flashbacks a couple times, and passionately kissing in other scenes; Colt describes the story of Pretty Woman where Julia Roberts plays “a lady of the night” and comments that “she’s up for almost anything;” A dead man in a bathtub appears to be naked except for piles of ice covering any explicit nudity; We see phone footage of a rowdy party where a girl wears a dress showing lots of cleavage; Starr wears a top showing cleavage; In a long scene, Ryder is wearing an overcoat with no shirt on and his pants are riding a bit low in the front.
 Vulgarity/Language: At least 1 “F” word, 33 “S” words, 6 “g*dd*mn,” 4 “b*tch,” 3 “p*ssy,” 3 “a” words, 2 “*ssh*le,” 1 “d*ck,” 2 “d*mn,” and roughly 7 “Oh my G-d,” 3 “G-d,” 1 “Oh G-d,” 3 “h*ll,” 1 “J-sus Chr-st,” 3 “J-sus,” and about 3 instances where someone flips-off the middle finger in a vulgar way (sometimes with both hands; in one of them, Colt pushes up his glasses using his middle finger when he sees a picture of Tom).
 Alcohol/Drugs: Characters are frequently seen drinking throughout the film, including in bars; Colt takes a sip of a drink at a club during his investigation, but it ends up being laced with a pretty powerful drug. We see him struggling with its effects – in a comedic way – for a few scenes afterwards; Jody and some of her film crew have drinks in a bar while doing karaoke; Colt and Dan get drinks in a bar and Colt puts his sore hand in the drink instead of actually drinking it.
 Blood/Gore: We briefly see a surgical scar on a man’s back; Colt finds a dead man in a bathtub filled with ice. His eyes are open and there is blood on the side of his head; Colt has a cut on his cheek after a fight scene; A man is strapped to a chair and beaten. We see most of this after he’s already taken quite a beating off screen, and there’s a deep gash on the bridge of his nose with blood all over his face and his shirt is soaked red with blood around the collar; A man has some blood on his mouth after being punched in the face; A woman has blood on her lip.
 Violence: Lots of action violence; A stuntman is strapped into wires and dropped from a great height. The screen cuts to black as he falls and the next scene shows him on a hospital gurney; During the filming of a movie, we see Colt being lit on fire and thrown against a rock multiple times; We see explosions on a movie set go off, startling crew members; In a flashback, Jody playfully breaks a prop bottle over Colt’s head; Colt is attacked by several thugs in a bar and we see their fight in slow motion as he fights back and beats some of them with a champagne bottle; Colt angrily throws a keycard at a door and then busts through it; Colt finds a dead man in a bathtub filled with ice. His eyes are open and there is blood on the side of his head. Colt then falls backwards in shock; A woman attacks Colt with a sword and the two fight in an apartment, causing a lot of damage; Colt puts a mouthguard in and deliberately gets hit by a car in order to stop it; Colt films an action scene with lots of fighting and shooting and sword stabbing, with some explosions. We see many characters flipping around on wires, too; Colt and Alma get tased in the neck and she is kidnapped; There’s a car chase as Colt goes to rescue Alma. He rams the back of a truck that has a large open garbage bin in the back. The trailer gate falls down, through Colt’s windshield. A dog jumps out and bites one of the bad guys’ crotch. When Colt jumps out, we see his car into parked cars; Another guy holds Colt down at the neck and the dog jumps at the attacker’s crotch; Alma attacks the guy in the truck with her bag. The dog then attacks the driver and she beats the guy repeatedly with metal thermos; Colt and one of the bad guys fight inside the truck’s garbage bin as it flips on its side and plows through a glass divider in the street; Alma repeatedly beats on one of the guys and then kicks him out of the moving truck. She hits the brakes and Colt, who’s now up front but not strapped in, goes flying out the windshield; In an apartment, Colt fights some guys who have guns. They shoot at Colt and Dan, who split up to fight them off. Dan punches a guy, flipping him in the air and then fights an attacking woman, tossing her around a kitchen. Dressler shoots a shotgun at Colt. The both crash through a glass railing and land on cushions below. Dressler shoots a wall while trying to hit Colt; The dog bites Dressler and Dan hits him in the stomach. Dan leaves and Dressler grabs Colt’s gun and shoots him, causing Colt to drop to the floor. (Faking because the gun is loaded with blanks, unbeknownst to Dressler); While being shot at, a character runs across a rooftop and jumps a great distance onto a nearby yacht. He’s then hit in the head with the butt of a gun; A man is strapped to a chair and punched in the face repeatedly. He’s then doused with gasoline and threatened to be lit on fire. He deliberately gets some gasoline in his mouth, which he spits at his attacker when they go to light him on fire. It causes the fire to blow back on his attacker and he fights to get away on a boat; We see a boat crash into a group of oil drums and explode, presumably killing a person; We see footage again of a man being kicked and hitting his head, killing him by accident; We see footage of the boat exploding a couple more times; A man in a costume approaches Jody slowly. She gets startled and beats on him repeatedly with objects around the room and then stabs his leg with a pen. She continues to beat him with objects, try to strangle him, and jumps on his back and pulls him to the ground. She then pulls the pen out of his leg and tries to stab him with it; We see many explosions on a set as a stunt car drives by; Stunt explosions flip several regular cars; A stunt car jumps a very far distance and makes a landing, causing several flips, knocking out one of the passengers; A woman hits a man a couple times and knocks him down; Jody punches a woman in the face; A man grabs Jody from behind and they struggle.

Dan rips it off the hinges and hits Dressler with it; We see more stunt explosions; Dan punches Dressler and hits his head on a car hood and then hoists him up in the air on a crane; A man jumps onto a helicopter to fight a few people on board. At one point, he punches a man in the face who claims his nose is now broken. There continues to be a struggle on board as a person with a gun threatens the first man but accidentally points it at the second man (causing him to freak out). The first man falls from the helicopter, hanging on to the side. He climbs back in and there is more fighting until he leaps off the helicopter onto a large air cushion below; We see explosions in the background as two people kiss in the foreground; We see a mock movie trailer for MetalStorm with lots of action (some of which we saw earlier being filmed); In a mid-credits scene, we see a man wander into a stunt-explosion area and get consumed with smoke and flames from an explosion (presumably killing him, as the field is empty when the smoke clears); The film end credits also show a lot of real stunts being performed by stuntmen during the filming of this movie.

He deliberately gets some gasoline in his mouth, which he spits at his attacker when they go to light him on fire. It causes the fire to blow back on his attacker and he fights to get away on a boat; We see a boat crash into a group of oil drums and explode, presumably killing a person; We see footage again of a man being kicked and hitting his head, killing him by accident; We see footage of the boat exploding a couple more times; A man in a costume approaches Jody slowly. She gets startled and beats on him repeatedly with objects around the room and then stabs his leg with a pen. She continues to beat him with objects, try to strangle him, and jumps on his back and pulls him to the ground. She then pulls the pen out of his leg and tries to stab him with it; We see many explosions on a set as a stunt car drives by; Stunt explosions flip several regular cars; A stunt car jumps a very far distance and makes a landing, causing several flips, knocking out one of the passengers; A woman hits a man a couple times and knocks him down; Jody punches a woman in the face; A man grabs Jody from behind and they struggle. The dog bites the guy and is about to shoot the dog when she hits the man with a metallic prop; Dan and Dressler fight each other, as both struggle with a car door. Dan rips it off the hinges and hits Dressler with it; We see more stunt explosions; Dan punches Dressler and hits his head on a car hood and then hoists him up in the air on a crane; A man jumps onto a helicopter to fight a few people on board. At one point, he punches a man in the face who claims his nose is now broken. There continues to be a struggle on board as a person with a gun threatens the first man but accidentally points it at the second man (causing him to freak out). The first man falls from the helicopter, hanging on to the side. He climbs back in and there is more fighting until he leaps off the helicopter onto a large air cushion below; We see explosions in the background as two people kiss in the foreground; We see a mock movie trailer for MetalStorm with lots of action (some of which we saw earlier being filmed); In a mid-credits scene, we see a man wander into a stunt-explosion area and get consumed with smoke and flames from an explosion (presumably killing him, as the field is empty when the smoke clears); The film end credits also show a lot of real stunts being performed by stuntmen during the filming of this movie.
