The Fall Guy - Simple, Forgettable Fun 

as well as mission impossible

And Extraction....

Corridor Crew had him on their latest Stuntmen React.

I mean to be fair they are technically the Stars.

​@@FireFox64000000no

You know Tom Cruise and Keanu Reeves flicks would knock those out of the park.

Hollywood doesn't think that's really possible. They don't think they're housebroken or know what to do with the awards...they're afraid they might try to eat them (instead of sticking it where Hollywood deviants stick them).

No one cares about the Oscars

Apparently they don't so they don't start an arms race of increasingly dangerous stunts

I think they have their own awards ceremonies they just dont televise them

Yeah, bucket of popcorn and escape the world for a few hours. At least it's not Woke crap.

Let me explain woke to you. It’s the past tense of wake, nothing more… unless of course you want to add an a in front of the w then it makes it the past participle 😮 you might need to google that 😂

@@RedBearsy You actually thought this was a worthwhile response.

💯

Well said

It was odd that Mr. Jordan omitted this tiny detail. Also Lee Majors singing the theme song was strangely effective for the original.

@@vicnighthorse He may not have known; I know I certainly wouldn't have except, for some reason, TV execs thought that watching _The Dukes of Hazzard_ and _Knight Rider_ meant I would likely be interested in _The Fall Guy_ as well.

As a Scot let me say we're all more than familiar with what a bounty hunter is. We've all been fed an unhealthy diet of American TV and Movie pap our entire lives so yes, we know, and yes, I loved the original show when I was a kid. I still find myself randomly singing bits of the theme song to myself... I might jump an open drawbridge Or Tarzan from a vine 'Cause I'm the unknown stuntman That makes Eastwood look so fine...

I thought it rang a bell when he said the character's name was Colt Stevers.

I couldn't have said it better. Their so woke out there they choke on their own words. Not called Hollyweird for nothing. BTW. The Heroes and Icons tv station is running The Fall Guy on Thursdays from noon to 5 pm. Drinker is the best on RU-vid!

And who would say no to Emily Blunt?

The movie is another Hollywood remake of a successful TV series from the '70's, "The Fall Guy" with Lee Majors.

It was the 80s not the 70s​@jcdisci

@@jcdisci 80s, actually. Don't make me feel older than I am ;)

​@@ElizabethEllenCarter🤣 right!?

Yes, today's women in film must all behave like they were trained by Jason Bourne. There's a sequence where a 4 foot nothing asian personal assistant is beating a would be kidnapper three times her size senseless.

Probably told her to calm down.

Yeah. They're so emotional.

I'm a woman and I had a good chuckle at this😂

Hell, women will try to murder you now because someone on tiktok told them it was now the thing to do. Welcome to the age of the npc

Used to?

I did my peace that I remembered somehow. I must have watched it alot

Same!

He produced Nobody, it was made by another director

He also produced John Wick and directed Deadpool 2. He’s top tier

But he’s also completely spoiled the entire film

Bullet Train was hilarious.

@@Winford.Studiosoccupational hazard we call it

It's not, the movie bombed so it's unlikely Hollywood is going to keep producing films like this

Yep. That's why Godzilla x Kong has dominated the world wide box office. It delivered what fans were expecting and people enjoyed it. No messaging, no politics shoved down the throats of the audience. Just Kaiju spectacle writ large. Not overtly complicated.

@@duaneullery2133 I enjoy more complex plots, I predicted most of what happened in Godzilla X Kong, honestly I don’t really like the monster verse all to well

Yep. The dumbing down of films has begun. 😆

@@greggibson33 I prefer dumb fun over hypocritical pandering and leftist propaganda.

💯

Ah yes, entertainment for its own sake. I remember those days....

Couldn't agree with you more. This movie seems fun its not a bait and switch or a girl power movie but real people working on a film. Of course some of the jokes will be overdone but the plot is solid. Can't wait to see it.

Yeah, we don't need a "Fall Guy Cinematic Universe" either. One and done, please.

Or sum thing that makes you think deeply

It was a fun series, as I recall. Talking of Lee Majors, I saw him on TV the other day. He looked a million dollars. He's really let himself go.

I remember watching that show when I was a kid, but I was too young to really know what was going on and to remember more than just the action and the theme song.

​@@georgebailey8179 Wow, I didn't know he was still alive. I thought I'd remembered hearing that he passed quite a while ago. Maybe I'm thinking of Larry Hagman, though.

He's even driving the same truck, though different color.

According to IMDB, both Lee Majors and Heather Thomas appear in this movie too, (sort of) reprising their original roles. Well done.

Yeah, that little Kelpie stole all his scenes! LOL!

Yes the movie is so entertaining and epic, completely free of any message or narrative. ❤❤

this movie was funny as fuck!

Solid 8 for sure, at least! this might even be a masterpiece

Agreed, this movie stuck with me more longer after seeing it and would happily see it again as soon as I can :)

@@MiguelNdiweni Ha! 😆

Well it kinda goes at least as far back as Hal Needham.

Good comment, and the correct "its" to boot! 👍

Oh, hey, I know that series! Was called "Ein Colt für alle Fälle" here in Germany and ran on TV in my childhood. The German title is a play in words with the name Colt and the gun of the same name/brand (not into guns, but knew as a child that a colt was a hand gun).

@@SuBeKuTah 17 :50 im ZDF, wenn ich mich recht erinnere! Damn, das fühlt sich inzwischen an, als wäre es in einem anderen Leben gewesen.

@@Bhavyo Stimmt, irgendwie surreal. Aber ich hab noch die Titelmusik im Ohr und seh Teile des Vorspanns vor meinem inneren Auge. 😄

I think he was a bounty hunter on the side, and most of the episodes were based on that aspect of his life.

@@Blackferret66 they'd always work at least one stunt sequence into the show. Whether it was being a stuntman, or something stunt related through the bounty hunting job.

@@BFVgnr Yeah, it shined a light on the work that went into stunts and movies back in the day when it was "magic"

@@Blackferret66 yup.

I grew up with the German dubbed version on TV called „Ein Colt für alle Fälle“. Loved the show.

Never ever trust a comment that says "I went with X and they enjoyed it too". Looks like AI or human written shill.

Yes, me too!

Same….👍

Just a fun movie

💯

And if it was released 30 years ago, it would have been a Terminator 2 level of success.

@@JohnnyM4allA jajajajaja….AHahahahaha…you serious? - J.J Jameson

How come?

@@JohnnyM4all Grade A sarcasm, my dude.😂👍

I'd never heard of it and it bums me to know I missed out lol

Too Bad Every Movie He Makes is a Flop.

@@richardtracy8242 remember the titans? the Nice guys? the notebook? the big short? barbie?.....not everything is a home run....but short of daniel day lewis, who hasnt made some non-bangers? dude has some pretty decent films and more than enough charisma to survive a few stinkers.

He was just In Barbie, by the way. He wasn't the Star of It.

But it can cut through walls and pipes when the plot needs it to happen.

@@greebj It's a plot sword!

This Movie was made for people that never heard of the TV Show.

There's a lot of instances where the drinker clearly didn't do any research around a film/show and is just reviewing what he saw at face value. It's a fault that I've gotten used to by now.

He was seen a lot with Farrah. :-)

She should've stayed with Lee Majors

Only 80s: the show ran from November 1981 to May 1986.

A trip to the drive in if they're still around in your area! I think I'll be taking my family. (the Admiral Twin is still within driving distance and open, its the drive in that was featured in the movie "The Outsiders", still open and fully operational)

Funny enough, that's exactly where I just came from. Albeit it was a Tuesday. Great fun to see with friends!

You can even do it with the missus

Should check out "Hooper" (1978) with Burt Reynolds if you haven't seen it then. (The tagline is: "Ain't nobody can fly a car like Hooper!" lol, great flick)

Loved that truck!! I had a Stomper that was near enough to the same paint scheme ....it was awesome to play out stories from the show with! Would love to see the details behind this movie's truck just like the featurette they did for the batmobile in The Batman.... it's not quite as iconic but vehicle guys and stunt guys are hand in glove the two groups I have mad envy/respect for. Cheers

Yeah, I watched the warriors the other day, and one of the guys straight up gives a right hook across a woman’s face when she tried to shoot him, knocked her the fuck out. That was back in the 70s. Bring back those times.

@@geeebuttersnap2433 Some of the performances in that movie were awesome. Even when the casts got older into villains in other movies like damn I remember that dude what an actor.

@@geeebuttersnap2433 That was released in 1980, and Luther was the Inspiration for the new Star Wars Video Game Protagonist. *”Warriors Come Out Ro Play! Warriors Come Out and Play-EE-AAY!” - Luther.*

😂 You love movies where women get punched in the face. How’s dating working out for ya?

Black privilege.

Yet it flopped but y'all will scream the wokists are the problem lol

That’s good cause I think Emily is a pretty respectable and beautiful actress. And if she was the type to be like that I don’t think watch any movie like that.

Yet she plays that exact type in every film she's in, including this one

@@adrianmasters250 Edge of Tomorrow, the Quiet Place films are proof that she can play a badass woman without beating the audience over the head with "THE MESSAGE!" Hell I didn't like Opp*nh*im*r but her character was the only likable stand on her own in that whole boring ego trip of a film considering the fact that Nolan hates women in his films.

@@adrianmasters250 Ha! Truth.😅

@@wiinterflowers4277 Of course you didn't like Oppenheimer. Smart movies give you a headache.😆

The movie has no agenda just does its thing.

I guess because he didn't mention the cameos of Lee Majors and Heather Thomas during the end credits.

Sonny was always a hot head

Rollerball is one of my favorite 70's movies. It's good action futurism done before Star Wars and Jaws rewrote the rules on movie making

Ah, no wonder why drinker is promoting a film that is tanking at the box office.

There was 'the message' with the female director.

@@LessPegasus Ha, ha, yes perhaps, but being off 'message' should be promoted as a major selling point these days!

@@raydarable Aha but that's actually a good thing where talent comes first not gender, it's not the same as the 'strong female lead' issue.... and we need a male and female 'off message' love story going on as part of the plot.

I didn't know that critics were obligated to only give positive reviews to movies that do well at the box office. Thanks for clearing that up.

No, they seem to have left out Howie. I feel that this was an error.

Emily plays Jody Moreno... If she's isn't supposed to be the same Jody as the series, I don't know why they didn't change the name "Jody" too. Weird.

I just has the Same Title, That's All.

*Seavers

There's no value tbh. It's all politics+pretentiousness+popularity. Oscars has been the best of what a few pricks in newyork have seen with the movies from all other countries participating under one category. It's been a joke and will continue to be one.

@@LessPegasus Then stunt people deserve their own awards.

@@LessPegasus So the sound guy is given an award because of politics+pretentiousness+popularity? 😆

They still have Stunts? Where? Everything I see is done with CGI nowadays.

@@greggibson33 my point is still valid in terms of categories, whether it be sound design or best actor. I'll give you an example of politics in academy award for best sound. Resul Pookutty won it for slumdog millionaire. Now we all know the Oscars that film won were simply token Oscars because they're Indians. So, yes, there is politics+pretentious+popularity even in "sound guy" awards.

Yep. The Drinker really swung and missed on this one.

@@greggibson33 He seems to be pulling back and not analyzing things from the culture war perspective so much now. Wants to be more like Jeremy Jahns? Did someone get to him? His Fallout review was ATROCIOUS. Had to rely on Reaper for the straight dope on that one. Iunno, everyone has off days, maybe he's just sick of it all and trying to see the positive wherever it exists or super busy with other stuff and phoning these ones in cuz they are so mediocre. Who really knows? Sometimes in dry spells your goalposts inadvertently shift a bit. Nobody is perfect and i'll extend benefit of the doubt for now but if he continues to only call the balls and not the strikes or goes way too easy when he does ima hafta assume someone has something on him or he's shilling for something... Ppl don't just change their whole M.O. without an announcement or something. Even Chris Stuckmann had the sense to tell his audience he was going full r*tard. Yeah it wasn't smart but stupid is as stupid does and i really think Drinker is not just marginally smarter than Stuckmann and trying to pull the wool over our eyes. You never know, coulda had a death in the family or anything (ugh hope he isn't p*ssy-whipped by some militant feminazi lol). I'm inclined to think it's just him being too self-conscious and trying to come off a little less aggro to attract more ppl. Don't do it Drinker, it's low-key selling out and you're better than that. Either Go hard or Go ̶H̶o̶m̶e̶ Away Now. No half measures. This war is far from over yet...

@@greggibson33 Or maybe, just maybe, that it had nothing to do with the review of the movie because it wouldn't of mean jack and schitt. How would it have changed or affected the review. (rhetorical question, hence no question mark, it would've meant nothing and changed nothing. )

@@zerogrey3798By being factually correct and giving credit to its story origin. Colt Seaver was a stuntman working part time as a bounty hunter.

@@zerogrey3798 No... but at least you tried.

Most people are sheep like you, no worries

That's what escapism is all about. Modern movies and shows seem to forget that

I have yet to watch it, but are we sure that movie about a stuntman having to work with their ex and getting tangled in some Hollywood-themed conspiracies as he tries to make it professionally and literally has _no message_ ? Remember guys, the message in art is not just telling you who to vote for...

The message is that stuntmen don’t get the credit they deserve

Not me. I want a movie that is realistic and logical AFAP and has a good story.

At least we have one positive trend to appreciate in modern cinema.

But they're still shitty.😆

He knows that.

@@Skeletal33 He should say that for the people who don't.

@@Skeletal33Apparently he didn’t know that this is based on an 80s TV show of the same name. So we we can check omniscience off of the Drinker’s list of putative superpowers.

​@@JM-vp8zcor and hear me out he just didn't mention it. 😮

@@KonigGustavAdolph Why? Who cares as it doesn't mean jack and/or schitt for the basis of the review.

But the quote is right

The massive CGI fight scenes in LOTR clearly don't follow that rule....

"Perfection is the state in which nothing can be added or removed without worsening the result" Michelangelo Buonarroti at least 350 years earlier.

You're quoting Exupery? Man, are you on the wrong comment thread. This is dum dum territory. You didn't know? 😅

@NasAub-ok9nm You have no point, baby boy.

I'm Scottish and can confirm it was definitely broadcast here. It was repeated umpteen times along with shows like Dukes Of Hazzard, The A Team etc. So it's still a bit odd he never references it.

@@mcjihad Emphasis on the word "Drinker" -- maybe he was unconscious when it aired. 😁

Oh please,the internet is free, I literally live in Nigeria, that's a dumbass excuse

@@jeffersonhassan4558 yes. Now.

That's when I expect I'll be watching it.

In other words..... next.

This Movie was a Waste of Time.

Too bad it flopped yet "woke Hollywood" is the problem according to you soyboys

I agree. Who has time for a simple, forgettable action flick? There's so much better entertainment out there outside of Hollywood.

I hear you. I expect I'll be seeing this only when it comes to a streaming service.

This is a streaming type of film. I was never seeing this in theaters.

@@beebomcgroober9316 Yes, and no films have any class. They don't have any style. No genuinely intelligent stories which even comedies and action films used to have in the past.

​@@pistonburner6448Comedies? Isn't that an extinct species?

Yep. Stunts were completely sterile. Bland and over edited fake looking. Absolutely terrible for a movie that's about stunts.

Hey, at the bare minimum, at least they didn’t make the lead character from the tv series the villain of the movie and recast him by someone else who wasn’t even in the show but was acting in Hollywood around the same time as the show was originally on the air. Cough cough mission: impossible cough.

I remember the series from german TV as well, including the moments when it was obvious Lee Majors didn't do the stunts himself. it made me pause only for a second or two, and I still enjoyed the series.

go anyway, it's a solid movie

Majors has a cameo. Most commenters seem to think it was fun

God no.

Me too, I loved the show and the theme song.

Bring the big popcorn and brace yourself for dripping venom.

That upcoming show has The Message written all over it like a spray can.

We're supposed to pretend It didn't exist.

Well the movie looks like it's flopping

@@ThelastArchdemon47 Yep. 😂

@@ThelastArchdemon47 Yeah, this is the first flop for David Leitch as a director. No way it's gonna get even in it's theatrical run.

It is total shit though, sadly

@@franciscleary3069 eh, it made me laugh....i enjoyed it....cant complain. its not high art, but its also not pretending to be. its nice to eat perfectly cooked Wagyu with good whisky......but sometimes all i really want is a simple burger and a coke....

Nobody was great!

You sound like me. I watched this because of the nostalgia of the TV show, and have much confidence in Emily's role choices these days. That said, while watching, I enjoyed nearly all of it. I think you'll like it just fine.

Starring the legendary Lee Majors who just turned 85 this week.

His name is Lee Majors.
