From intense fights to intricate rigging, daring high falls to water and fire stunts, the film spans the entire spectrum of stunt disciplines. To ensure excellence in each area, the filmmakers enlisted the best in the business, including Chris O\u2019Hara, who, like Leitch, is a well-known figure in the stunt industry. To give proper credit to O\u2019Hara\u2019s invaluable contribution to the film, O\u2019Hara, usually given the credit of stunt coordinator, received the industry\u2019s first-ever film credit of \u201cStunt Designer.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_253182\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-253182\" style=\"width: 2158px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/pageone.zyndk8.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/The-Fall-Guy_Winston-Duke.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2158\" height=\"1426\" class=\"size-full wp-image-253182\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pageone.zyndk8.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/The-Fall-Guy_Winston-Duke.jpg 2158w, https:\/\/pageone.zyndk8.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/The-Fall-Guy_Winston-Duke-300x198.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pageone.zyndk8.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/The-Fall-Guy_Winston-Duke-1024x677.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/pageone.zyndk8.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/The-Fall-Guy_Winston-Duke-768x507.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pageone.zyndk8.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/The-Fall-Guy_Winston-Duke-1536x1015.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/pageone.zyndk8.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/The-Fall-Guy_Winston-Duke-2048x1353.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/pageone.zyndk8.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/The-Fall-Guy_Winston-Duke-100x66.jpg 100w, https:\/\/pageone.zyndk8.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/The-Fall-Guy_Winston-Duke-696x460.jpg 696w, https:\/\/pageone.zyndk8.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/The-Fall-Guy_Winston-Duke-1392x920.jpg 1392w, https:\/\/pageone.zyndk8.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/The-Fall-Guy_Winston-Duke-1068x706.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/pageone.zyndk8.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/The-Fall-Guy_Winston-Duke-1920x1269.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2158px) 100vw, 2158px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-253182\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Winston Duke\u2019s Dan Tucker fights a baddie in \u201cThe Fall Guy\u201d<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Another member of the stunt team is part-Filipino fight coordinator Jojo Eusebio, whose impressive credits include \u201cJohn Wick\u201d and \u201cBlack Panther.\u201d \u201cI\u2019ve always looked up to Dave Leitch and Chris O\u2019Hara as mentors, having seen them evolve from stunt performers to second unit directors and now Dave directing major film productions,\u201d Eusebio says. \u201cWorking on this film for the last portion of its production was an absolute honor.

This achievement surpassed the previous record held by stuntman Adam Kirley, who achieved seven cannon rolls during the filming of Casino Royale in 2006. <\/p>\n<p>Operating at a speed of 80mph with the cannon packing 900 psi, the filmmakers opted for a Jeep Grand Cherokee due to its equal width and height, providing a cylindrical shape ideal for rolling. Crews worked tirelessly for hours compacting the sand to get it as firm as possible to achieve the speeds required for the stunt. <\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_253181\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-253181\" style=\"width: 2560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/pageone.zyndk8.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/The-Fall-Guy_Ryan-Gosling-fall-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1098\" class=\"size-full wp-image-253181\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pageone.zyndk8.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/The-Fall-Guy_Ryan-Gosling-fall-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/pageone.zyndk8.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/The-Fall-Guy_Ryan-Gosling-fall-300x129.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pageone.zyndk8.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/The-Fall-Guy_Ryan-Gosling-fall-1024x439.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/pageone.zyndk8.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/The-Fall-Guy_Ryan-Gosling-fall-768x329.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pageone.zyndk8.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/The-Fall-Guy_Ryan-Gosling-fall-1536x659.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/pageone.zyndk8.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/The-Fall-Guy_Ryan-Gosling-fall-2048x879.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/pageone.zyndk8.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/The-Fall-Guy_Ryan-Gosling-fall-100x43.jpg 100w, https:\/\/pageone.zyndk8.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/The-Fall-Guy_Ryan-Gosling-fall-696x299.jpg 696w, https:\/\/pageone.zyndk8.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/The-Fall-Guy_Ryan-Gosling-fall-1392x597.jpg 1392w, https:\/\/pageone.zyndk8.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/The-Fall-Guy_Ryan-Gosling-fall-1068x458.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/pageone.zyndk8.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/The-Fall-Guy_Ryan-Gosling-fall-1920x824.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-253181\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ryan Gosling in \u201cThe Fall Guy\u201d<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>The Alma\/Colt Chase Sequence<\/h3>\n<p>The Alma\/Colt chase sequence involved teamwork and innovation, featuring a thrilling scene on the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge. While a scene like this would normally be done with blue screen, the team decided to film the scene entirely practically. Ryan Gosling\u2019s direct involvement added authenticity to the action, and the team opted for in-camera shots with a garbage truck dragging Gosling on a spinning bin through the streets of Sydney.<\/p>\n<p>Fifty stunt drivers were used for this scene, so ensuring the safety of everyone involved while maintaining precision in resetting to the starting point was crucial.<\/p>\n<h3>The 225-Foot Car Jump<\/h3>\n<p>One of the most jaw-dropping moments in \u201cThe Fall Guy\u201d involves a 225-plus-foot car jump. The jump was performed by seasoned stunt driver Logan Holladay in a specially designed vehicle, crafted for practical, in-camera authenticity that could handle such an extreme leap. This extraordinary stunt stands as a testament to the film\u2019s commitment to delivering genuine, practical stunts that defy the norms of modern CGI-dominated filmmaking.<\/p>\n<p>At the apex of the jump, the truck was close to 80 feet in the air. The vehicle reached a speed of 72 mph during the jump.<\/p>\n<h3>The Boat Jump<\/h3>\n<p>The boat achieved an impressive 80-foot jump. The ramp used for the jump measured approximately 4 feet high and 24 feet long.<\/p>\n<p>Ryan Gosling obtained his boating license in New South Wales to ensure readiness for any unforeseen needs during filming.<\/p>\n<h3>The High Fall From Helicopter<\/h3>\n<p>The high-fall stunt in \u201cThe Fall Guy\u201d was executed by stunt performer Troy Brown, carrying on the legacy of his father, Bob Brown, a high-fall expert. Troy Brown broke his own personal record for the longest high fall, achieving an astounding 150 feet during the filming of this movie.<\/p>\n<p>Acquiring airbags rated for such heights is rare, but essential for safety. The production team procured this specific bag for the monumental high fall scene in \u201cThe Fall Guy.\u201d The dimensions of the bag were 25 feet by 50 feet.<\/p>\n<p>In \u201cThe Fall Guy,\u201d Ryan Gosling plays Colt Seavers, who, like everyone in the stunt community, gets blown up, shot, crashed, thrown through windows and dropped from the highest of heights, all for people\u2019s entertainment. And now, fresh off an almost career-ending accident, this working-class hero has to track down a missing movie star, solve a conspiracy and try to win back the love of his life (Emily Blunt) while still doing his day job. <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/B5_TsoRovDo?si=XyVJfcvcM1lRqcHx\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Find out why everyone\u2019s falling in love with \u201cThe Fall Guy,\u201d when the movie opens in Philippine cinemas May 1. #TheFallGuyMoviePH<\/p>\n<p>Follow Universal Pictures PH (FB), UniversalPicturesPH (IG) and UniversalPicsPH (TikTok) for the latest updates on The Fall Guy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Experience the heart-pounding action of &#8220;The Fall Guy&#8221; and witness the incredible work of the stunt team! \ud83c\udfa5 Don&#8217;t miss this thrilling ride!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":255666,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19569],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-255665","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies"],"zyndk8_nxtgen_metadata":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/diplomatic-fuchsia-armadillo.46-250-226-234.cpanel.site\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/255665","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/diplomatic-fuchsia-armadillo.46-250-226-234.cpanel.site\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/diplomatic-fuchsia-armadillo.46-250-226-234.cpanel.site\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/diplomatic-fuchsia-armadillo.46-250-226-234.cpanel.site\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/diplomatic-fuchsia-armadillo.46-250-226-234.cpanel.site\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=255665"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/diplomatic-fuchsia-armadillo.46-250-226-234.cpanel.site\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/255665\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/diplomatic-fuchsia-armadillo.46-250-226-234.cpanel.site\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/255666"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/diplomatic-fuchsia-armadillo.46-250-226-234.cpanel.site\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=255665"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/diplomatic-fuchsia-armadillo.46-250-226-234.cpanel.site\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=255665"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/diplomatic-fuchsia-armadillo.46-250-226-234.cpanel.site\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=255665"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
