Everything you need to know about that “Fall Guy” post-credits scene

The Ryan Gosling action-comedy ends with a delightful throwback.

Warning: This story contains spoilers for The Fall Guy.

A few familiar faces make a cameo at the end of The Fall Guy.

David Leitch's action blockbuster stars Ryan Gosling as a stuntman named Colt Seavers, who agrees to return for one last job to support his ex-girlfriend Jody (Emily Blunt) in her directorial debut. The film is loosely based on the 1980s television series of the same name, which ran on ABC from 1981 to 1986 and starred Lee Majors and Heather Thomas.

In a fun crossover, the 85-year-old Majors and the 66-year-old Thomas make a cameo at the end of the film, popping up in a post-credits scene. The Fall Guy ends with the reveal that A-list actor Tom Ryder (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) and his producer Gail (Hannah Waddingham) were attempting to frame Colt for murder. They try to escape via helicopter, only to crash and be arrested by two police officers played by Majors and Thomas.

The original show starred Majors (best known for The Six Million Dollar Man) as a stuntman (also named Colt Seavers) who used his on-set expertise to moonlight as a bounty hunter, catching criminals with his extensive knowledge of explosives and driving maneuvers. Thomas also starred as fellow stuntwoman Jody Banks, often accompanying Colt on his adventures.

Majors also sang the show’s theme song, “Unknown Stuntman,” which is covered in the film by Blake Shelton.

In a previous interview with Entertainment Weekly, Leitch and his wife and producing partner Kelly McCormick revealed that they were original fans of the Fall Guy TV show, praising its impressive stunts and how it “lit the fuse” for a new generation of stunt performers.

"It showed the skills [Majors' character] had," McCormick said. "He was outwitting everybody and was not really believed to be anybody who could get anything done — and then he ended up getting everything done in the nick of time. And they actually achieved really big, practical stunts every week."

The Fall Guy is in theaters now.
