Eva Mendes put the brakes on one Ryan Gosling Fall Guy stunt.

Director David Leitch and stunt designer Chris O'Hara discuss the record breaking cannon roll, 225-foot car jump, helicopter high fall, and boat jump.

And The Fall Guy was no exception. So both Ryan and and co-star Emily Blunt said they'd back calls for stunt performers to have their own category at the Oscars. "They dress like us, they do the dangerous things for us. They take the hits for us, they put themselves in harm's way for us," said Ryan.

The academy is keeping mum about the prospect, but the movie is part of a renewed push for a new Academy Award first considered more than 30 years ago.

For years, Hollywood's behind-the-scenes action heroes have been pushing for an Oscars category to honor their work. Many hope The Fall Guy will make it a reality.

Stuntmen broke through glass, jumped from high heights and rode motorbikes down the red carpet at the L.A. premiere of the film.

In addition to a hair-raising 12-story building drop, which took “a long, very involved take” to execute, Ryan Gosling took on numerous other daring challenges for “The Fall Guy,” such as performing intricate flips and staged combat sequences.
