Trivia

Ryan Gosling has a fear of heights, but still did the 150-foot fall at the beginning of the movie.

With 8.5 car rolls called the cannon roll and on the second try, the stunt team for this movie broke the Guinness World Record of the most car rolls, (a fact which Gail actually mentions in the dialogue).

Colt is asked whether there is an Oscar® for stunts in movies, which he denies. This is a real frustration among stunt performers, given that almost every other (technical) category has its own award at the Oscars® and the Emmys and SAG Awards do, in fact, give out awards for this. Director David Leitch, a former stunt man himself, said that he made The Fall Guy (2024) as a "love letter" to the stunt community, giving them the recognition they deserve. Many filmmakers, including Leitch, have been pushing for years to have an Oscar® for Best Stunts, but the Academy's motivations for not doing so is that the awards ceremony is already quite long, and that a best Stunts Oscar® might prompt stunt teams to go to more extreme and unsafe lengths just to win the award.

Ryan Gosling had eight stunt doubles.

Ryan Gosling had a chance encounter with Steven Spielberg, who told him he loved this movie. Gosling said, "As far as I'm concerned it doesn't matter anymore what happens. Steven Spielberg liked it. That was an all time moment for me. I'm really excited for people to see it. I think it's a really special movie."
