This is apparently based on a TV show from the 80s.
I remember that TV show well.
Let me guess: change in attitudes about something or the tech of the time no longer holding up?I've been going through older TV shows with our Roku (Magnum PI, Quincy, Columbo, Hunter, Peter Gunn, Kojak, Rockford Files...) and tried watching Fall Guy again because I had fond memories. The first couple episodes discouraged me from continuing down that part of memory lane.
Here's the full description:That was a fun show, at least for a kid in the 80s.
The movie ... I dunno, maybe it will be fun anyway, but beyond the car and the stunt man as protoganist story doesn't seem that close...
I guess in a way the Fall Guy makes perfect sense for a contemporary movie - the original show basically had stunt scenes that basically were irrelevant for the episode plot, their only rationale for existing was because the character was a stunt man and worked as bounty hunter between scenes and movies to pay the bills. Considering how much excuses Hollywood sometimes makes to have an excessive action scene that doesn't further the plot, it's a perfect setup. Now at least they don't need to work the stunts into the main story.
One has to wonder what's next? Riptide reboot? A new Knight Rider or A-Team? Airwolf?
