The Prima Donna | |
| The Fall Guy (2024) / int_1fa5ae07 | comment |
The Prima Donna: Tom Ryder. Even his longtime producer, Gail, acknowledges that he's an asshole to work with. His diva antics go so far as trying to kill two of his stunt doubles — and succeeding once. | |

Got Me Doing It: Jody ends up using Colt's finger gun gesture herself which she previously detested. Embarrassed, she tells Colt "You Didn't See That". | |

Digital Head Swap | |
| The Fall Guy (2024) / int_35e5a546 | comment |
Digital Head Swap: Given it's a film about a Stunt Double on a big-budget movie, this comes up several times in the plot. Most notably, Jody takes advantage of Tom Ryder's absence and Colt's presence to film bigger, more impressive action scenes and then replace Colt's face with Ryder's in post, because Colt is much better at filming action scenes. After The Reveal, we see that Gail has used a Digital Head Swap to frame Colt for an Accidental Murder. | |

My Greatest Failure: Colt blames himself for the stunt-gone-wrong that ended his career and his relationship with Jody. We learn later in the film that Colt's accident was engineered by Tom. | |

Gaslighting | |
| The Fall Guy (2024) / int_7654ca00 | comment |
Gas Lighting: Gail makes extensive use of this to manipulate and bamboozle both Colt and Jody combined with sheer Motor Mouth bluster and Blatant Lies. Eventually it loses its effectiveness when Colt and Jody realize what is going on and Gail lets slip their contempt for Jody by condescendingly noting how 'mailable' she has been. | |

Overly Long Gag | |
| The Fall Guy (2024) / int_a188ac4b | comment |
Overly Long Gag: Colt's attempts to get into Ryder's hotel room. It takes him quite a while due to the key card for the room not working. He tries it several times, goes down to the front desk to get it fixed, tries the new card only for it not to work again, so he decides to simply break in and finds someone dead in the bathtub. | |

Double-Meaning Title: Colt works as a "fall guy" — i.e. a stuntman, taking falls (and hits, and fire). We eventually learn he's being set up to take the fall for an Accidental Murder. | |

Muse Abuse | |
| The Fall Guy (2024) / int_a6baa3a7 | comment |
Muse Abuse: The relationship between "Space Cowboy" and Aliana in Metalstorm is transparently based in the bad way in which Colt and Jody's relationship fell apart after his accident, with a Sci-Fi paint job applied, and she makes no attempt to hide it when describing the plot to him, in front of the entire film crew. | |

Chekhov's Skill | |
| The Fall Guy (2024) / int_acecb17d | comment |
Chekhov's Skill: Colt began his career as a stuntman at the Miami Vice Action Spectacular at Universal Studios, and still wears the crew jacket every day. Said show apparently included him diving off an exploding speedboat several times a day, so he was able to put these skills to use to fake his death when pursued by Ryder's goons in Sydney harbor. | |

Writers Cannot Do Math | |
| The Fall Guy (2024) / int_da1c8191 | comment |
Writers Cannot Do Math: Colt claims to have gotten his start in stunt work doing several shows a day of the Miami Vice stunt show. The only problem with this is that the Miami Vice Action Spectacular at Universal Studios was only active until January of 1995, so assuming the film is set in the same year it was released, that would mean that for Colt to have worked there for any significant amount of time, he would have to be in his early 50s. | |

Complexity Addiction: After accidentally killing his current stunt double, Tom and Gail come up with an overly complicated plan to bring Colt to Australia and frame him for the death... but using his yacht and the large number of ruthless mercenaries he currently employs as security to simply dispose of the body and then track down and dispose of all the video, apparently never crosses his mind. | |
