Double Dare (2004)
7/10
great slice of the behind-the-scene
12 September 2015
This is a documentary about stuntwomen concentrating on two specific performers. Veteran Jeannie Epper is a grandmother who comes from a legendary stunt family. She was a stunt double for Linda Carter in the Wonder Woman TV show. Zoë Bell is from New Zealand who has been Lucy Lawless' stunt double in 'Xena: Warrior Princess'. With the ending of the show, she needs to find new work.

Both Jeannie and Zoë contribute fascinating stuff to this documentary. The happy accident is seeing Zoë get her Kill Bill job. Quentin Tarantino actually does an interview and her audition is beautiful behind the scene stuff. Jeannie is fascinating because she is still struggling to stay in the business. It's eye opening to see the older women going to see a plastic surgeon and talking about getting work done. It's weird and unexpected that even stuntwomen worry about their looks. This is a good movie even if it's just a companion piece to Kill Bill.
