But yeah, it is a little bit like magic. You know, I think we're always reinterpreting the classic gags and the classic tricks. And so, you know, that's what we did with Fall Guy. We sort of reimagined the big car jump. We reimagined the high fall from the helicopter. And there is a little secrecy.

I think, you know, part of it for years, because it was such a business where it was passed down, it's apprenticeships, it's passed down from family, usually to kids, and it's hard to crack in and

And find someone to teach you because they didn't want to share the knowledge so much, you know, because it didn't, again, like it can be a really fun and lucrative business and you want to share it with the people you want to share it with. I think in Fall Guy, we tried to pull the veil back just enough. and not give too much away. You know, you see those fire stunts.

We didn't really give the science behind that away. And there is a, you know, that's, what's really amazing about stunts. I think people think it's a bunch of daredevils and, and there's a little bit of that sensibility in stunt performers, but really there's a lot of physics and math and legacy tricks that, you know, get you through the day.

You know, I had many conversations on the set of Fall Guy with Ryan about that because you're standing on the ledge and ultimately a lot of stunt work is trusting your team. Now, we had an incredible what we call rigging team on the Fall Guy. Keir Beck is an Australian stunt performer and I've known him since the Matrix years. He's now become one of the... legendary stunt riggers in the business.

And you're hooked up to this machine and you're trusting the physics of it and you've rehearsed it and you've seen the weight bags go down and up. But again, you're stepping off the ledge and you have to have this ability to calm your nerves. trust in the process, have the confidence that, you know, we've tested this over and over and it's going to go great.
