Two men then rushed up the steps and threw the man in the cap into two other men.

As though a switch was flicked, the men who were fighting suddenly started cheering, before a banner promoting the new Hollywood action movie ‘The Fall Guy’ emerged.

Turns out, the entire altercation was merely a gimmick to promote the movie.

TGV Cinema in an Instagram post on Sunday (28 April) said: “This fight was a gimmick for the film ‘The Fall Guy’ and was performed by Malaysian stuntmen invited especially by UIP Malaysia.”

The cinema went on to touch a bit on the movie and its importance in shining a light on the stuntmen industry in filmmaking.
