During the show's initial series the stunts took their toll on the modified production trucks, supplied at low cost to the production by General Motors, so several different years, makes (Chevy/GMC) and models were used during the show's initial run. A Rounded-Line 1980 GMC K-25 Wideside with the High Sierra equipment level package was also used. Seavers's truck was a Rounded-Line 1981 GMC K-2500 Wideside with the Sierra Grande equipment level package.

Also included are archive footages from stunt shows made in the 1930s.Р”Р‡ollowing Season 2, a few of the borrowed movie risk scenes were replaced by stunt scenes from the TV Series. And exclusively for the Season 1 opening narration, Singin' in the Rain, The Blue Max, Race with the Devil and Moving Violation. In Season 1, the montage of scenes were borrowed from the films Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry, The Stunt Man, Silver Streak, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, The Hot Rock, Our Man Flint, The Poseidon Adventure, Speedway and Sky Riders. The series intros were composed mainly by both scenes from the TV series as well from risk scenes taken from films that dated before 1981. Season 2 has also been released in Region 2, in Germany on Novemand in the UK on February 16, 2009.

Season 1 was released on DVD in Region 2 in Germany and the UK. Due to poor sales it is unknown if the remaining seasons will be released. As with a number of other TV shows of the era released on DVD, the 6-disc set contains extensive music substitutions due to copyright reasons (as well as completely editing out the sequences with actor/singer Paul Williams, in the Pilot). On June 5, 2007, 20th Century Fox released the first season of The Fall Guy on DVD in Region 1. Considering my description above, you probably don't want to watch this with the kids-there are a couple rather explicit scenes and quite a bit of blood.Further information: List of The Fall Guy episodes Board game Р”Р„ board game adaptation based on the show was released by the Milton Bradley Company in 1981.Р”Р„ comic strip adaptation was drawn by Jim Baikie for Look-In magazine. But, the characters are so likable that I was willing to overlook this and recommend you try this quirky film. I liked this film but really, really wish they'd either decided to make it a kooky comedy OR a romantic film. But, he has a change of heart and agrees to-figuring that if this stunt kills him, he can leave Konatsu a nice insurance settlement. However, one stunt NO ONE will do-even Yasu. To prove his devotion to Konatsu, Yasu takes on all the worst and most dangerous jobs in films-and gets the crap knocked out of him daily. Yasu is still quite willing to marry the lady-partly because he's always been infatuated with her and partly because he thinks so little of himself. This scene I think was overdone-and telling Yasu to do this while Konatsu is having sex with her seemed much more awkward than funny-though it does establish, once again, that Gin-Chan's friends will do ANYTHING for him. Not surprisingly, Gin-Chan isn't willing to marry her and orders one of his underlings, Yasu, to marry her. A bit later, Gin-Chan's old girlfriend, Konatsu, informs him she's pregnant. It's all quite funny and a nice commentary about some movie stars. And, during all of Gin-Chan's histrionics and boorish behavior, he has an entourage that constantly tells him that he's wonderful and seem willing to do ANYTHING for him. One of the stars of the film begins behaving like a jerk, as it's obvious he's very insecure and has an ego the size of Texas.

However, later in the film, it's much more of a romantic drama-making it very hard to categorize and a bit strange. Through much of the film, it's an obvious (and very broad) comedy.
