Based on the 1980s TV show, Colt Seavers (Ryan Gosling) is a down-and-out stuntman who, whilst filming his ex-girlfriend's directorial debut movie "Metalstorm", is roped into tracking down the star, who's mysteriously disappeared. But Tom Ryder's not just missing, he's also an asshole. As is his agent, in fact. Can Colt survive and save the movie?

Colt Seavers. All-action stunt performer in every Hollywood blockbuster you've ever seen. But he's not really too sure what his middle name is.
Jody Moreno
You have no idea how hard it was for me to make this movie, okay? I just need to focus, so if you're gonna stay here, we need to keep it... like, super profesh.
Colt Seavers
Professional's my middle name.
Jody Moreno
Mm-hmm. I thought your middle name was "Danger."
Colt Seavers
That's a stage name.
Clip 2
Colt Seavers is a gentleman. He won't let Jody walk alone at night. Not even thirty feet. That's just the kind of guy he is.
Jody Moreno
Do you want to drive me to my car?
Colt Seavers
Yeah.
[COLT starts the car, rolls forward about thirty feet and stops]
Jody Moreno
Okay, goodbye.
[JODY exits the vehicle]
Clip 3
Colt is channelling Tom Ryder. And even then, it's obvious that Tom Ryder is a prize-winning d*ckhead.
Colt Seavers
Okay. Tom, long time no see. Gail asked me to check and make sure you're okay. Colt, thought you were dead. Why you got to be such a pu**y b**ch? Tom, I'm gonna have to ask you not to refer to me as a pu**y or a b**ch. Okay, but you got hurt like a pu**y and you're acting like a b**ch.
Clip 4
Tom is looking for clues as to Tom Ryder's whereabouts in his apartment when Iggy attacks him with a samurai sword.
Colt Seavers
I'm just a stunt guy. I'm working on Metalstorm, too.
Iggy Starr
You lie! We're only on Metalstorm 1.
Colt Seavers
I meant also!
Clip 5
Gail Meyer. She's an agent. Tom Ryder's agent, to be precise. And because he's a pr**k, so is she. Or is it the other way around? Who made who a pr**k?
Gail Meyer
Colt, you're... you look like you've been busy.
Colt Seavers
Yeah, real busy, Gail.
Gail Meyer
Yeah, good.
Colt Seavers
Lot of running around, Gail.
Gail Meyer
We'll get a drink and discuss that. But right now, the studio are... so far up my ass, I can taste them.
Clip 6
A movie's not a movie unless it contains at least one quote from Notting Hill. Controversial, I know but ask yourself... am I wrong?
Colt Seavers
Well, I have to admit that I'm surprised to hear you say that.
Jody Moreno
Why?
Colt Seavers
Well, I'm just a boy in a neon suit standing in front of a girl, reminding her that Notting Hill is her favourite movie and she watches Love Actually every year at Christmas.
Clip 7
Colt has had enough of Gail's attempts to smooth things over. He's not listening to her any more. It's time to involve the proper authorities, whether she likes it or not.
Colt Seavers
I went to Ryder's apartment just like you told me. That's where Iggy with the sword gave me the neon suit and they sent me to the man with the leopard print head. He goes by the name of Doone. It was Doone's goons who dirtied my Shirley, and not in a fun way, Gail. I think they were trying to kill me, Gail!
Gail Meyer
Step away and calm down. I am gonna handle everything.
Colt Seavers
No more handling! I want the police!
Gail Meyer
You're very aggressive.
Colt Seavers
I'm sorry. I'm sorry to yell. I want the police.
Gail Meyer
You are not gonna talk to the police. You don't talk to anyone about this, okay? You listen to me.
Colt Seavers
I'm calling the police.
Gail Meyer
You are not talking to the police.
[A POLICE OFFICER knocks on COLT'S car window]
Police Officer
Excuse me, sir.
Gail Meyer
Wait, who's there? Who's there? Who's there?
Colt Seavers
It's the police. I'm gonna talk to them.
Gail Meyer
No, no, no, no, no! Don't talk...
[COLT hangs up on GAIL]
Clip 8
Colt. He has a great memory. He never forgets a... fist.
Tom Ryder
You remember old Dressy, right?
[DRESSY punches COLT in the stomach]
Dressy
Stuntman.
Colt Seavers
I never forget a fist.
Clip 9
What's needed, in order to get Tom Ryder to confess, is a plan. A good plan. A fool-proof plan. And then Colt can kick the sh*t out of him.
Colt Seavers (via a voicechanger)
You're gonna finish this movie.
Jody Moreno
No, I'm gonna clear your name. Okay, now listen.
Colt Seavers
Why can't we do both?
Jody Moreno
I think we can. We're gonna bring him to set, in a controlled environment, and then we surround him...
Colt Seavers
And we beat the sh*t out of him.
Jody Moreno
No. We're gonna force a confession out of him by putting him in a scene.
