“Hello, I’m David Leitch. And I'm the director of The Fall Guy. So I'm super excited. This is one of my favorite scenes in the film. It's like our setup. Ryan and Emily are seen flirting in a flashback.” “Oh, I wanted a spicy margarita after work. And I was wondering if you drink spicy margaritas?” [LAUGHS] “To keep it professional, I can only have one spicy margarita because if I have two, I start making bad decisions.” “This scene is completely shot like a one. There are no cuts. So it's really been a challenge for what's to come next. Ryan has to play this charming, charismatic guy even though he knows we're actually going to be tying him to a 120-foot rappeller. A rappel device is a device that we use to lower someone from a building or whatever. And the mechanism at the bottom actually slows it down in the last 10 feet. That's the actual stunt team there. Keir Beck is currently tying him in with the other Australian rigging team. And they're getting ready to flip Ryan.” “After that, you and I could both be on a beach somewhere in our bathing suits, drinking spicy margaritas.” “As a stunt person, that's not unusual. You would have a conversation leading up to the time you do the stunt and find the time to concentrate while they hang over you. It's pretty amazing that he keeps his composure. We actually did this practically. This is all real. And that's in a building in Sydney. It took about four months for us to obtain the permits to build the necessary framework and meet all the technical and safety requirements. And that could be two. But Ryan was such a good sport. I know he knew at some point, it's called The Fall Guy, he knew he had to do something like that. So there he is. “Action! Action! Action! Action!” [WHIRRING]
