Actor Neal McDonough has given fans a glimpse into the physical preparation behind his upcoming film “The Last Rodeo” on Instagram, sharing an intense training montage from the film showcasing the demanding work that goes into rodeos.
In the video clip posted to his Instagram account, McDonough can be seen engaging in rigorous physical training that captures the essence of preparing for the rodeo arena. The caption reads: “Who doesn’t love a good old-fashioned training montage? The Last Rodeo rides into theaters May 23rd — get your tickets now at the link in bio! #TheLastRodeoMovie #AngelStudios #PBR #TrainingMontage #WillToWin”
The montage highlights the dedication required to portray characters in the demanding world of professional bull riding, with McDonough demonstrating impressive physical commitment to his role.
Family Affair In Film And Real Life
Interestingly, “The Last Rodeo” has become something of a family project for McDonough. According to recent posts, his son Jammer appears alongside him in the film. A previous Instagram post from the account showed a heartwarming father-son moment with the caption: “We should spend more time with our dads at work… #thelastrodeo #angelstudios #nealmcdonough.”
The McDonough family also recently received a warm welcome from the professional bull riding community. In mid-April, Neal and his son Jammer were welcomed as honorary assistant coaches for the Gamblers team at a Professional Bull Riders (PBR) event in Nampa, Idaho.
Storyline Spans Generations
Social media posts suggest “The Last Rodeo” follows a multi-generational story centered around rodeo and bull riding. One post reveals: “Like grandfather, like grandson. Cody Wainwright keeps the family legacy alive in The Last Rodeo.”
Additionally, Neal McDonough appears to play a character named Joe Wainwright, as referenced in another promotional post that states, “It’s always a good time working with Neal McDonough! Don’t miss him on the big screen as Joe Wainwright on The Last Rodeo Movie.”
Known for his distinctive appearance and intense character or villain roles, McDonough’s career has included work with major directors and appearances in Marvel films, DC television series, and various other high-profile projects.
The film appears to follow a similar pattern and takes great care in representing the authentic aspects of professional bull riding. An educational post from the film’s promotional campaign explains: “In bull riding, the 8-second rule exists to create a fair and competitive scoring system—while prioritizing the safety and well-being of both the rider and the bull. Riders must hang on for 8 intense seconds, battling bulls that can weigh over 1,500 pounds and buck with forces up to 3x the rider’s body weight. Only the toughest make it to the buzzer.”
Giveaway Promotion
As part of the marketing campaign for “The Last Rodeo,” Angel Studios is running a substantial giveaway. Fans who purchase tickets to see the film can enter to win what’s described as “the ultimate adventure package” worth approximately $350,000, which includes a Ford F-150 Raptor truck.
