While I agree it looks jank, the story[1] of the first spacewalk has a more than plausible explanation - His suit was pressurized, and they had underestimated how it would expand. This resulted in him having to bleed off pressure to get back in the craft. That also explains why the movements look so jank - He's not wearing a piece of form-fitting clothing, but what you see is instead a balloon, with it's own shape, that Leonov is fighting with to move and manipulate.
