Fall Guy: Behind The Incredible Stunts
64In the "Fall Guy," Ryan Gosling found himself thrust into a world of high-stakes stunts despite his initial reluctance. Though Ryan would have been totally fine to not perform a single stunt on set, Director David Leitch and the film's dedication to honoring stunt performers left him with no option but to participate. Transitioning from never doing stunts to starring in the film, Gosling faced daunting challenges like free-falling from buildings and being dragged across iconic bridges. His stunt double, Logan Holladay, even broke a world record during filming, performing eight cannon rolls in a car after just two practice runs. It was the most emotional day Ryan Gosling has ever had on a set and one of the most tense days of his life – I can imagine how Logan was feeling! The crew, comprised of eight skilled stunt performers, contributed to the film's success, with Ryan Gosling likening them to a team of superheroes. Each person had their own unique skill set that brought the movie to life. The coordination of the crew resembled that of a video game, utilizing Unreal Engine to map out scenes and execute complex stunts with digital assistance. Stunt Coordinator Chris O'Hara praised the team's efforts, noting that their work often made traditional visual effects unnecessary. Despite initial reservations, Gosling's journey through the world of stunts showcased the daring spirit of filmmaking. From Holladay's gravity-defying feats to the crew's seamless teamwork, each aspect of "The Fall Guy" highlighted the dedication and skill required in action-packed cinema.
