The Fall Guy (2024)

WOW!! Loved it. Took me back to my childhood growing up watching the TV series. This had a feel of ‘what happened off screen in the land of The Fall Guy’. The stuff that the original tv show didn’t touch on or present. I loved the focus that was slightly off from what I recall from the tv series. The movie dug deeper into their early relationship years where the Tv show focused on his moonlighting bounty hunter career when not on set of his TV series.

And the Lee Majors and Heather Thomas cameos at the end…EPIC COOL. They were the 2 actors who originated the characters roles of, Colt Seavers and Jody Banks in the 1980s tv show. In the movie, Jody’s last name was changed to Moreno.

I would love to see a sequel, or a few, with Gosling and Blunt teaming up on more moonlighting capers. As for a remade reboot tv show…Meh? That’s a roll of the dice. So many 1970/1980s era tv shows have been attempted as remakes rebooted and have fallen short of their predecessors. Some have done well in entertaining but not holding more than a handful of seasons. So the Tv show idea, while intriguing, would fall short with too few seasons.
