25 Films That Intentionally Spoil Other Films

Ryan Gosling vehicle The Fall Guy brought the ABC action series to the big screen the year before last, with a whole new cast and premise. This time, rather than moonlighting as bounty hunters, stuntman Colt Seavers (Ryan Gosling) and his director ex-girlfriend Jodie Moreno (Emily Blunt) are drawn into a conspiracy surrounding their latest film’s lead actor, Tom Ryder (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), who has gone missing.

After many fight sequences and setpieces, Colt manages to get to the heart of the issue: Tom accidentally killed his most recent stunt double, and has been hiding out while trying to frame Colt for the murder. All of this leads to a climactic on-set sequence, in which Colt traps Tom and has him confess on microphone to the murder. And, surprise, surprise, it involves a big stunt sequence.

Colt has Tom strapped into his stunt car with him and takes him for an extreme ride ending in a crazy, possibly impossible jump. Colt tells Tom that it’s fitting for the old partners to go this way, just like Ridley Scott’s Thelma & Louise (1991), to which Tom replies, "Thelma and Louise? They die at the end!" Indeed, they do.
