Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt's new movie The Fall Guy is an ode to the stunt community. It doubles down on this with its credits, which shows behind-the-scenes footage of how many of the stunts were performed. However, there is another source of inspiration for the movie that is given a tip of the cap in The Fall Guy post-credits scene (FYI, SPOILERS ahead).
The Fall Guy centers on a professional stuntman, Colt Seavers (Gosling), who is brought in to work on the movie being directed by his ex-girlfriend and love of his life, Jody (Blunt). However, Colt has a secret assignment given to him by producer Gail (Hannah Waddingham) — find the movie's missing star, Tom Ryder (Aaron Taylor-Johnson). Hoping to win back Jody's heart, Colt embarks on this journey, only to get caught up in a dangerous conspiracy.
