antipodean2-1 Review of Double Dare

Double Dare (2004)

An excellent documentary following the trials and tribulations of two stunt women

[10/10 · 28 February 2006]

Contains Spoilers: What a nice surprise this film was, as a Xena fan I gave it a passing look only to find a gem of a documentary. Excellent behind the scenes footage of Kill Bill, Xena and a host of other TV and Movies. A very funny and yet poignant look at the life of stunt women, one at the start of her career the other near the end. The support of family and the respect of their colleagues is paramount for each woman and the film engulfs you in their lives. I was engrossed in the film as it followed these two women, both adoring their work and yet both finding it so hard to practice their craft in a still very male dominated industry. And who would believe that Tarantino could play fairy godmother :)
