I will SEE IT. Isn't Lee Majors got a cameo? BTW, my REAL Major's TV show I want to see into a motion picture, of course it's the Six Million Dollar Man(updated to Billion).
bro I literally just watched a vid b4 this one about how predatory Monopoly GO is (even among mobile games). Nothing against you, make that money my man. But I can't make this stuff up 😑
Around the Fall Guy TV show there was a whole collection of movies either about stunt people doing outrageous stunts while "making a movie" or movies just centered about an outrageous stunt. Burt Reynolds was the king. Hooper 1978 being one.
Not only is “The Fall Guy” based on an 80’s TV show, but the movie within the movie, “Metal Storm” is actually a real 80’s movie. It exists. It came out in 1983. Same tile, same plot, same tagline. And just like the “ Metal Storm” in “ Fall Guy”, the real “Metal Storm” was indeed considered schlock in its time.
Bro you aged like fine wine. I watched your vids religiously back in the 2010-2013 days , saw your channel again recently and I must said I’m impressed by the longevity. You look amazing as well 👍🏽
Appreciate the early review - glad to hear you liked it! Definitely excited for this one. As for my favorite action movies? Die Hard, Terminator 2, and Raiders of the Lost Ark.
@@Jogwheel Yeah haha I don't know how I haven't. Relatively young viewer and been watching all the modern classics I haven't seen like Wolf of Wall Street, Django etc. Haven't gotten around to watching the older ones yet. They just weren't something I grew up with
@@Jogwheel "Older" not old haha. I've watched a few movies recently from before then, just haven't gotten around to watching those ones for some reason even though they're considered classics. Pulp Fiction was great
Saw Fall Guy last saturday and I didn't look at my watch a single time. Which is rare these days. I was thouroughly entertained for 2 hours and 6 minuites.Gosling and Blunt had great chemistry. Looking forward to rewatching it at home.
@therotten6152 and that says a lot about him... Not including ALL the random posts about him interacting with regular people, getting up from a subway seat so a woman can have his seat, chatting with a very young fan asking him questions at an airport....The LIST GOES ON
@jovonsaintlouis125 how many people seeing this movie actually knew it was based on a show from 30-40 years ago? I sure didn't. If anybody seeing this, most people aren't because they just loved the show.
@@101Mant it isn't 100% but most people besides people of age or die hard movie fans don't know these facts so it's pretty damn original. Nothing is original anyway.
I mainly wonder two things stemming from the original tv series: 1. Does Lee Majors make a cameo? 2. Does the song “ The Unknown Stuntman” play somewhere, even if it is in the credits?
Fall Guy was based on the Burt Reynolds movie "Hooper", which I believe was directed by a veteran stuntman. It started a short mania over recognizing the work and expertise in creating movie stunt work and led to the Fall Guy series.
Nothing wrong with telling us your genuine reactions to a movie. It doesn't have to be universal. Thank you for being a reviewer who is in touch with what you are feeling and can articulate it. That is all an audience can ask.
Can we just stop a moment to bask in the knowledge that we're having an amazing year for action movies so far? Now we just need the new season of Warrior to drop and we're gold. The only thing that would make it even better is if Gareth Evans announced The Raid 3.
I usually skip the in house ads Jeremy but i've had a wee smoke, you don't do ads that often so i thought why not watch Jeremy sell me some Monopoly games and enjoy his natural talent in delivering an entertaining commercial! Thank You Jeremy you very good lol! (whispers softy into you ear stoned).
My brothers and I watched The Fall Guy every week for the 5 years it was own. In the series though, Colt Seavers also worked as a bounty hunter for Markie Post's Terri...Michaels I believe. His cousin Howie would help out n the cases, and was a stuntman-in-training. And the cast was rounded out (In more ways than one) by Heather Thomas' Jody Banks, a fellow stunt person who helps Colt and Howie on the cases. I was never a fan of Ryan Gossling until I saw The Nice Guys. I wish it had done better because I would have loved a sequel. Favorite action films-Die Hard, Armageddon and Big Trouble In Little China.
I grew up with tv shows like The Fall Guy, Riptide,Simon & Simon, Battlestar Galactica,The A-Team, ALF, Remington Steele, Scarecrow and Mrs. King, Hart to Hart, Matlock und Miami Vice.
"I might jump an open drawbridge, or Tarzan from a vine ’Cause I’m the unknown stuntman that makes Eastwood look so fine" I'm fairly sure this will bear little resemblance to the tv show, but it does look like fun.
I'm really looking forward to watching this movie. Favorite action movies from the 1980's- Die Hard, Aliens, Indiana Jones 1-3, Predator, & The Terminator. From the 1990's- Armageddon, True Lies, Point Break, Speed, Total Recall & The Rock. From the 2000s- Minority Report, Mission Impossible 3-6, Bullet Train, & Guardians of the Galaxy 1 & 2. (I have more but these are among my top fav. action movies that I most often recommend to others.)
They totally need to have stuntman awards. Showing the best ones, giving awards, and hearing behind the scenes stories on how they were achieved. Would be great TV tbh.
I think the movie was a bit too silly for me to really enjoy it. It wasn’t terrible but it felt like actors doing acting and stunts, rather than characters in a story. Parts were entertaining but I was never able to see anything that had me engrossed in the story.
Jeremy, please tell me they work the theme song to the TV show, "The Unknown Stuntman" somewhere in this movie. Also, you should check out the original series with Lee Majors, and the girl that brought a lot of young men into manhood (me included), Heather Thomas. She proof that God hates blind people.
I'm old enough to have vague childhood memories of the show - mainly the theme tune tbh. In the trailers it looked fine but not unmissable, also doesn't really appear to share much DNA with the original show beyond the name and basic premise. Gosling and Blunt are both good fun though so I might still catch it on streaming later.
Jeremy’s face before an ad read always reminds me of a friend saying I gotta do it. I know you don’t want me to do it, but we both know that I’m good at it dammit.
I don't know if that's a sign of "old man syndrome", but Jeremy you're not the only one who whines about current movie run times. I'm not saying that back in the movies were "better", but in general they were definitely shorter. And most of the people involved in these now 120+ minute affairs aren't good enough or interesting enough to hold our attention span, which dilutes what could be a better movie experience. As an honest question, where have all the producers and editors gone that would have normally trimmed down average movies into good movies? There is an art of saying what others say in five words you can say in three.
6:37 Gosling's 'The Nice Guys' certainly had that feeling...unfortunately it came out in 2016 so despite being a lot of fun, it did weakly at the box office [Gosling himself bemoaned it didn't get a sequel having been beaten by the 'Angry Birds' film opening weekend!].
Meh. It was light entertainment at best. I didn't buy the love story. I could see them as friends, but not some intense love story. Blunt's girl boss was pretty silly. Frankly she didn't add anything but star power and blowing the budget. Some up and coming actress could have done the part for a fraction of the $$. There is really no relation to the old TV series except the names and the now co-lead is a stunt man.
On a related note, I recently rewatched the original "Star Wars" trilogy on VHS and remembered that the version of Episode IV that I have supposedly will never be available again, which is kind of cool in a twisted way 😁. Update: I saw "The Fall Guy" this week and it was just as entertaining as described in Jeremy's review - I also liked how during the end credits there were behind-the-scenes footage of Ryan Gosling's and others' stunt doubles filming their scenes.
I'm excited! I was hoping for "Good time, no alcohol required." Would have settled for "Good time if you're drunk," but "Buy on VHS" is great! I'm actually looking forward to seeing a movie for the second time in about 6 months!!
Cause it was filmed in Sydney Australia, it was released over a week ago in the land down under. If you like Chips, Baywatch, Starsky and Hutch, The Saint, The Brady Bunch and Miami Vice movies, then you'll like The Fall Guy. If you hated them movies, this movie is NOT for you. One pet pev, Kiss's "I Was Made For Loving You." became an ear wig after the 60 minute mark.. we get it already
Totally agree. I liked the show as a kid, but it had more of a cult following as opposed to other popular action series of the time. Not many of my friends were into it. ABC kept moving its time slot, so I missed some seasons, but I got the second chance once the reruns aired. Movie was about as good as I expected. The bounty hunter moonlight made sense as a 1980s action contrivance, but not so much in a one off feature film, so I get reimagining the characters and story. And yes, the KISS song got increasingly annoying. I don't know whether they had no music budget left, so they just quadrupled down on it, but the movie would have been better with anything else after the initial crawl. Either play it in the character intro sequence or save it for the climax fight, but only use it once.
Appreciate your humour, wit and creativity Jeremy. Thanks for the laughs and good times....don't know about a favourite - so hard to choose but recently John Wick 4 had me laughing, ebullient & shaking my head in disbelief at just how clever, OTT, balls-out amazing MOST of the action set-pieces were.
The theaters I go to have been showing a behind the scenes scene about a stunt done in the movie that set a world record. The record is for most barrel rolls in a vehicle. The record is now eight. They celebrate the actual stunt man who did this with recognition from Ryan Gosling. They did the stunt, didn't set the record, then did it again, since they had another car, and that one was the keeper.
It makes the most out of Ryan Gosling's and Emily Blunt's chemistry. Some badass pratical action set pieces. Accompanied by a slick soundtrack that flows evenly with the kinetic energy of the movie. 9/10 👍
"I'm never one to Kiss and Tell, but I've been seen with Farah." Yep I still remember the theme song from Fall Guy. great 80s fun but dumb show (like most of the great shows from the time, all about FUN). Too bad Hollywood forgot about that little word for the most part.
initially i don't like this movie as much as i hoped i would, however i'm also at fault for expecting Bullet Train But About Stuntmen. I do like that it's a love letter for stunt performers and i love the final act. I'm gonna see it again to prove myself wrong
I had the opportunity to see this a few weeks back and it was a lot of fun! If you like Leitch/Bullet Train then you will absolutely love this movie. If you didn't, you actually might still be able to!
This movie kind of sucked, too much meandering with Emily and Ryan's characters, it was insufferable, they were written so poorly on the whole fling romance. A lot of their scenes just dragged on and the movie is a mess because of it. Metal Storm is cool though, and I liked the love letter tribute feel for all the stunt people out there. This movie however is not really good.
@@smpdevelopments Lol. Instead of Aaron Taylor Johnson as the main bad guy, having Cruise play a villain in this movie, again. He probably turn it down cause he didn't get to do his own crazy stunts or something like that.
Saw it at SXSW and thought it was a blast. I'm glad they really hammered home that its a movie for stunt doubles by stunt doubles. I was worried that would only be for a part of the movie but the whole third act is literally about stunt crew team up. Really enjoyed it
There's a video where someone's watching Ryan Gosling movies and offers a spoonful of cereal to TV screen just as Ryan's character dramatically turns away, like he refused to eat it.
I know you primarily review modern releases but I wanted to mention the terrific dark comedy "The Stuntman" released in 1980 and starring the iconic Peter O'Toole, Steve Railsback whose filmography is quite interesting, and the versatile Barbara Hersey. My favorite action film is George Miller's The Road Warrior/Mad Max 2 starring Mel Gibson and many excellent set pieces. It's lean, and mean with little in the of the way of nitpicks.
Thanks to Monopoly Go! for sponsoring. Be naughty or nice and dive into the captivating world of MONOPOLY GO! t2m.io/MO_JeremyJahns
He is literally me once again 😂
Great movie 🎥🍿
Loved it
Seeing it again tonight in 4DX
Let's see all the effects
With the cinema colleagues :P
You'd have to be zonked to promote Monotony Go the eff away.
I will SEE IT. Isn't Lee Majors got a cameo? BTW, my REAL Major's TV show I want to see into a motion picture, of course it's the Six Million Dollar Man(updated to Billion).
bro I literally just watched a vid b4 this one about how predatory Monopoly GO is (even among mobile games). Nothing against you, make that money my man. But I can't make this stuff up 😑
It's criminal how stuntwork is so severely undervalued in the industry.
"Its too dangerous to do tho.. so do this for less money... also if you get hurt we blame you "
Do they still have the stuntman awards
The irony is if this movie was ever nominated for an oscar.. it’ll the first time the oscars acknowledge stunt people.. at the Oscar’s.
So many roles are looked past and undervalued. Stunt men is definitely one. I’ve known a few, broken bones/surgeries are just part of it.
@@npcimknot958 Yes, I've always wanted to see stunt people get acknowledged at the Oscars. They absolutely should be.
Full circle for director David Leitch. He was a stunt man/ stunt coordinator who became a director who is now directing a movie about a stunt man.
That's cool, I had no idea
Directing a movie about a tv series about a stunt man
It was AWESOME
The Oscars really need a Best Stunt category. They deserve all the love!
Yeah, until Tom Cruise snipes the win lol
@@yorttroy I still would have given best stunts to John Wick 4 in 2023 even with the M.I. movie
They even mention that in the movie
while I agree stunts need more praise, having it be an Oscar category might encourage people to to do more and more dangerous stunts
@@umanuuThat's a good thing.
Ryan is GREAT at comedy. The Nice Guys is so underrated.
That is one of my favorite buddy-cop movies of all time. I laugh so hard with that movie and at the time, I didn’t think Ryan Gosling could do comedy.
"There's whores here and stuff"
It's underrated so bad that it's sad how underappreciated it is
@@isaiahperez357Nice Guys & Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang are the two movies I consistently recommend to people.
@@StormX6 Same here. Now I want to see him do more comedies.
An actor playing a stuntman who has his stunts performed my stuntmen 🤯🤯🤯🤯
Directed by a former stuntman (David Leitch is the co-director/producer of John Wick series, same as Chad Stahelski)
I like if they don't recognize them in the credits WITH photos/video then it's a missed opportunity considering the source material.
Its Stuntception!!!!
Gosling plays an stuntman in Drive as well
Around the Fall Guy TV show there was a whole collection of movies either about stunt people doing outrageous stunts while "making a movie" or movies just centered about an outrageous stunt. Burt Reynolds was the king. Hooper 1978 being one.
"Drive" with Gosling also a stuntman is sneaky a top ten of all time for me. Therefore Gosling as a stuntman I am automatically in.
Oh shut up!
I believe enough time has passed for Ryan Gosling not eating his cereal to have a sequel.
It did...he finally ate his cereal
@@Zahra.Basiri huh?
The guy who originally made those videos died. Ryan Gosling made a video of him eating his cereal in his honor.
@@VincentStevenStudio oh. I was not aware. That's pretty cool of Ryan Gosling.
What ? I’m confused
Not only is “The Fall Guy” based on an 80’s TV show, but the movie within the movie, “Metal Storm” is actually a real 80’s movie. It exists. It came out in 1983. Same tile, same plot, same tagline.

I saw this last Wednesday. I'm from Australia, and it was awesome watching the action scenes within the streets of Sydney.
Saw it last Friday, ditto.
Saw it today at IMAX melb. Loved it!!
Me too mate! From NSW. Now have to get that shrimp on the Barbie after wrestling that Roo!
Same! I’m in NZ now but grew up in Sydney
The oscars really need to recognize Stunt coordinators and stuntman. Especially now. I’m excited for this one, myself. Glad you liked it, jeremy
Who else is old enough to remember the show with Lee Majors?
Classic!
Heather Thomas!
Heather Thomas yup I was 11, old enough to understand that she was built different...
Also great theme song!
We replayed every episode in kindergarden. No joke.

3) Casino Royale (2006)
Ding ding ding, we have a winner. Guy got taste. Fury Road is 4th place.
I'd figure Keanu held quite a few properties on "Being a cool actor"
Yeah agree, 100%!!! Keanu Reeves has "that market". Ryan has a long way to earn it yet...

yes.. they made a BIG thing about the truck in the movie, my Aussie friend said to me, "Why do they have a left handed truck in Australia?"
The dog was a big star in the movie, was there a dog in the TV series?
How is Jeremy not at 2 mill yet? We gotta get him there. The man deserves it
This has me wishing Nice Guys did well enough to get a sequel.
I'm so happy you liked it Jeremy. Seems like the Stars are bringing people back to the movies, and it's not the IP anymore. So excited to see this
Umm....it's still the ip, my friend almost every original film (with the exception of civil war has flopped this year and no dune 2 does not count)

Im sry but this movie was boring
too much talkin and not enough cool action
2/10
The theaters I go to have been showing a behind the scenes scene about a stunt done in the movie that set a world record. The record is for most barrel rolls in a vehicle. The record is now eight. They celebrate the actual stunt man who did this with recognition from Ryan Gosling. They did the stunt, didn't set the record, then did it again, since they had another car, and that one was the keeper.
Running Man, Demolition Man, Fifth Element
Would love to hear your thoughts on Challengers
Mad Max: Fury Road is my favorite action movie ever!
Hey Jeremy, long time sub. Just checked you out at Total Wine. Didn't click for a few minutes, but was cool meeting you. Keep it real.
That is the second Face/Off reference I’ve heard today, what the hell. 😂
I remember watching you like 10 years ago. Cannot believe you're still at it.
He gotta carry on making the money
@@allaboutwwe9269 I can only hope he's well off. He was very formative for me when I was growing up.
It makes the most out of Ryan Gosling's and Emily Blunt's chemistry.
Some badass pratical action set pieces.
Accompanied by a slick soundtrack that flows evenly with the kinetic energy of the movie. 9/10 👍
Big Trouble in Little China, Casino Royale (Daniel Craig), Is Aliens an action movie? Love your reviews!
why aren’t u reviewing challengers
Dogshit. There you go, that’s the review
I always loved how in the The Fall Guy, Lee Majors sung the theme song. It was an awesome theme song too! I bought a cd with it.
"I'm never one to Kiss and Tell, but I've been seen with Farah." Yep I still remember the theme song from Fall Guy. great 80s fun but dumb show (like most of the great shows from the time, all about FUN). Too bad Hollywood forgot about that little word for the most part.
Honestly, since the trailer released this was on my "GOING TO SEE IT!" list. Glad to see some rather positive reviews of it :)
The Rock will always be my favorite action movie, Nick Cage and Sean Connery are just too much fun together in it
The Fall Guy series opening theme is what makes that show legendary.
He was a bounty hunter in the series
i love how ryan can navigagate movie genres so well. i mean should have a category for stuntwork at the oscars years ago
Marge Simpson: I gotta stop fantasying about Lee Majors
initially i don't like this movie as much as i hoped i would, however i'm also at fault for expecting Bullet Train But About Stuntmen. I do like that it's a love letter for stunt performers and i love the final act. I'm gonna see it again to prove myself wrong
Why haven’t you reviewed challengers
I believe they go through sugar glass not real glass in stunts. It is sugar prepared in sheets that is clear as glass (or something close to this).
I had the opportunity to see this a few weeks back and it was a lot of fun! If you like Leitch/Bullet Train then you will absolutely love this movie. If you didn't, you actually might still be able to!
This movie kind of sucked, too much meandering with Emily and Ryan's characters, it was insufferable, they were written so poorly on the whole fling romance. A lot of their scenes just dragged on and the movie is a mess because of it. Metal Storm is cool though, and I liked the love letter tribute feel for all the stunt people out there.
This movie however is not really good.
Loved the TV show. Used to watch it with my gran. They changed a lot but it still means a lot that someone thought to make this movie. Very nostalgic
I'm surprise Tom Cruise was not the star of this movie. Lol.
Would have been better if he was
@@smpdevelopments Lol. Instead of Aaron Taylor Johnson as the main bad guy, having Cruise play a villain in this movie, again. He probably turn it down cause he didn't get to do his own crazy stunts or something like that.
Saw it at SXSW and thought it was a blast. I'm glad they really hammered home that its a movie for stunt doubles by stunt doubles. I was worried that would only be for a part of the movie but the whole third act is literally about stunt crew team up. Really enjoyed it
VHS again just like The First Omen?
Great movie! But we need a Metal Storm flick with Momoa! :D
Jeremy grew up with The Fall Guy
He's not Chris.
@@aaron827 tell that to Zod's snapped neck
It's been a while since i've had this much fun watching a movie. I didn't want it to end.
"He's so cool he doesn't even eat his cereal?"
What the hell does that even mean, dude?
Its an old meme reference where a spoonful of cereal is shopped into videos of Ryan Gosling turning away.
There's a video where someone's watching Ryan Gosling movies and offers a spoonful of cereal to TV screen just as Ryan's character dramatically turns away, like he refused to eat it.
I liked the theme song from the TV show....OH and Heather Thomas! 😍
Sucks
I know you primarily review modern releases but I wanted to mention the terrific dark comedy "The Stuntman" released in 1980 and starring the iconic Peter O'Toole, Steve Railsback whose filmography is quite interesting, and the versatile Barbara Hersey. My favorite action film is George Miller's The Road Warrior/Mad Max 2 starring Mel Gibson and many excellent set pieces. It's lean, and mean with little in the of the way of nitpicks.
The last time I was this early, my girlfriend left me
