Big action blockbuster: The Fall Guy brings the cult series A Gun for All Cases to new life with Ryan Gosling
The Fall Guy is based on the ABC series of the same name from the 1980s, which is known in Germany under the title Ein Colt für alle Fallen. The main character of the story is the Stuntman Colt Seaverswho barely escapes with his life after a set accident and is nevertheless drawn back into the film world.
The reason for this is an ex-girlfriend Jody Moreno, played by Edge of Tomorrow star Emily Blunt.

As Vanity Fair reports, Gosling is about to star in The Fall Guy doubled by four different stuntmen, especially Ben Jenkins, who has a lot of parkour experience and can therefore be used very flexibly in a wide variety of action scenes. They are joined by Justin Eaton, Logan Holladay and Troy Brown.
Eaton has already appeared in the cinema as Captain America, Doctor Strange and Deadpool and was involved in the fight scenes of The Fall Guy thanks to his martial arts skills. Holladay brings a lot of experience and knowledge as a stunt driver. And Brown pulls off one of the biggest stunts in the entire film: one Jump from a height of 45 meters.
This jump is a tribute to his father, Bob Brown, for a stunt in 2002 jumped from a high-rise building in flames. You can watch the incredible video below:
