The Fall Guy the movie, not the show, was So bad it's great! The old T V shows to big budget movies need that right mixture which make the film close enough to the old show, but different enough to stand out as new, which creates entertainment. The Fall Guy series made episodes thin on plot, plot holes, silly scenarios all for an excuse of having incredible stunts. Some episode were better then others. The Mad Comic version, which I own, had a skit about the series with Colt jumping over a plane with the famous truck truck then chasing the bail jumpers threw a shopping mall to hilarious show the weekly series silliness! The Fall Guy was the 80's stunt show competing against the Dukes of Hazards competing for the all those 14 year old audience of teenagers . 2024 series got the formula right. A thine on script excuses for stunts movie like a the old T V series. What worked: The Stunts. Silliness of the characters with some seriousness. A poke at Hollywood. The Romantic side of Colt mixed with the thumbs up macho character. What did not work: Well you really have to turn your brain of with this one. Missing the Howie and Jodi side characters; well maybe for part 2. Turn your brain off a laugh film. Like Colt I give this film a thumbs up 7 stars.
