Spoiler Warning! This story contains spoilers for The Fall Guy!
One of the formula features of the classic '80s television series The Fall Guy was its "case of the week" format in which stuntman Colt Seavers (Lee Majors) chased down criminals in his side gig as a bounty hunter. While Universal Pictures' theatrical adaptation of The Fall Guy, starring Ryan Gosling as a modern day version of Seavers, doesn't include the bounty hunter side hustle, the character is tasked by producer Gail Meyer (Hannah Waddingham) to track down missing actor Tom Ryder (Aaron Taylor-Johnson).

But as the song and footage come to an end, a surprise tag comes up saying: "Previously on... The Fall Guy."
