    Much like the TV series it was based on, David Leitch's The Fall Guy celebrated the world of stunts and the figures that make intense sequences possible , which meant the movie had to take explosive encounters to new heights. In one of the film's most memorable scenes, Ryan Gosling 's Colt Seavers finds himself in the middle of a high-speed chase, though instead of the "safety" of a car, he's riding the metal door of a dumpster. You can check out how the impressive sequence came to life and how involved Gosling himself got in the exclusive featurette above before The Fall Guy hits Digital on July 2nd and 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD on July 23rd.
