Quotes:

Zoe Bell: So you're an actor?
Terry Frick (Photographer): Yeah, but I'm about to quit. I think I'm going to quit.
Zoe Bell: Oh yeah? Why's that?
Terry Frick (Photographer): I can't, I've been living in London as well, I can't breathe, everybody knows me there, and I hate it.
Zoe Bell: Over here they know you? Or over there?
Terry Frick (Photographer): Over there, yeah I need to quit now before the momentum really starts going, and then it's like once you get the fame thing, you never own your life again.
Zoe Bell: Oh...

"Double Dare" kicks booty!

This movie completely blew me away--and I'm not easily impressed. It is so much fun and so joyful and inspiring, especially to women. I'd highly recommend it to anyone. I saw it at the Independent Fim Festival of Boston in 2004 and it was such a thrill to see it with a sold-out crowd and have the crowd be so deeply into it the whole way through. It's impossible not to fall in love with Zoe Bell, the younger of the two stunt women featured--but on seeing it for a second time I was even more impressed with Jeannie Epper, the 64-year- old grandma who is still doing stunts and whose kids and grandkids are carrying on the tradition. Also for Tarantino and Xena fans the scenes involving the Xena shoots and the Kill Bill auditions are delightful. And I was moved by the joy and passion these two women--and Amanda, the director--bring to their work. Rock on!
