It stars Lee Majors, Douglas Barr, and Heather Thomas as Hollywood stunt performers who moonlight as bounty hunters. Contents 1 Plot 2 Cast 3 Media adaptations 4 DVD releases 5 Nielsen ratings 6 The truck 7 Film remake 8 See also 9 References 10 External links Plot Lee Majors plays Colt Seavers, a Hollywood stunt man who moonlights as a bounty hunter. He uses his physical skills and knowledge of stunt effects ( especially stunts involving cars or his large GMC pickup truck ) to capture fugitives and criminals. He is accompanied by his cousin and stuntman - in - training Howie Munson ( Barr ) - who studied in Nashville -, whom Colt frequently calls `` Kid '', and occasionally by fellow stunt performer Jody Banks ( Thomas ). During the first - season episodes, typically, an episode begins with a voice - over introduction from Majors ( in his role of Seavers ) explaining the precarious life of a Hollywood stuntman, and how he, Seavers, is unable to make a full - time living from stunt work and must moonlight as a bounty hunter. This is intercut with actual Hollywood stock footage from various eras of dangerous movie stunts, such as an exploding plane plunging straight into the ground, a motorcycle jumping through a flaming hoop, and a biplane crashing / barnstorming into a barn. After the voice - over introduction, the crew is seen performing a stunt for a film or TV series when Seavers is then assigned to finding, for example, a man who has skipped bail. His case turns out to be more complicated than it first seemed. In the course of dealing with the villains, Seavers performs a stunt similar to the one shown at the beginning of the show. Seavers 's voice - over narration was dropped from the second season onward. The series is known for its frequent cameos by Hollywood celebrities and the occasional in - joke referring to Majors 's previous starring role in the series The Six Million Dollar Man ( the pilot featured a cameo appearance by his then - wife Farrah Fawcett ).

DVD releases On June 5, 2007, 20th Century Fox released the first season of The Fall Guy on DVD in Region 1. 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 ). Due to poor sales it is unknown if the remaining seasons will be released. Region 2 Season 1 was released on DVD in Region 2 in Germany and the UK. Season 2 has also been released in Region 2, in Germany on November 28, 2008 and in the UK on February 16, 2009.

A Rounded - Line 1980 GMC K - 25 Wideside with the High Sierra equipment level package was also used. During the show 's run, the stunts took their toll on the trucks, so several different years, makes ( Chevy / GMC ) and models were used during the show 's initial run. As a result, there are some inconsistencies in the episodes. After destroying several trucks due to the jumps, a custom built jump truck was built as a solution. At the end of the series, the remaining trucks were either auctioned or given away in a contest. One of them was sold on eBay in 2003. Film remake In July 2010, the Los Angeles Times reported that a film based on the series was in development. DreamWorks has teamed up with producer Walter F. Parkes on the project. Martin Campbell was in talks to direct the film. DreamWorks, through Disney 's Touchstone Pictures distribution label, will release the film in North America, Latin America, Russia, Australia and Asia, while Mister Smith Entertainment will handle sales in the remaining territories. As of September 2013, Dwayne Johnson was in negotiations to play the title role and McG was in talks to direct.
