A GREAT Documentary for film fanatics and fans of entertainment
Don't let the current score on this wonderful documentary scare you off. As the last commenter said I think someone who was a bit vindictive must have run amok. Read the positive comments posted here and see that everyone who has seen this movie loved it. Double Dare is a great film that focuses on two women, one on her way up, Zoe Bell, and one refusing to go down, Jeannie Epper. Die hard Xena fans will know Zoe from her stunt work AS Xena the Warrior Princess. One of my favorite lines in the film is when Zoe calls Lucy Lawless her Acting Double. And comic fans and children of the 70's might not remember her but Jeannie Epper definitely made an impression on them as she kicked but for Linda Carter as Wonder Woman. You will fall in love with both these women as they share their struggles, their ups, and their downs. You will see Zoe come to grips with leaving her family behind as Xena ends and she looks to continue her career in Hollywood. While Jeannie struggles to keep working, anyway she can. In a profession where respect for women is so hard to come by you will see how they earn it and fight to keep it. If you are a fan of film making, a fan of the human spirit, or just a fan of women who kick ass, then this is a film that you will not want to miss.
Loved This Film
DOUBLE DARE chronicles the ultimately intersecting lives of two stunt women, a graceful, aging veteran and an ingénue-like up and comer. Somehow, in a reasonable chunk of time, the filmmaker tackles the unveiling of two distinct personalities and histories. She then recontextualizes them within the two distinct eras that produced them. The older one faced challenges as a woman in a male dominated field that the younger one will probably never encounter. Yet neither the characters nor the filmmaker take the "Look at the injustice" route on this issue. The piece ends up being a solid character study with the gender politics circling cheerfully on the perimeter. The characters are aggressively likeable, and the filmmaker reveals a world that audiences rarely if ever get to see. Documentary is 90% editing, and lucky for us, because the editing is phenomenal. I can't wait to see what this filmmaker chooses to tackle next. Excellent work.
Thoroughly Entertaining
I saw this film when it appeared in Chicago and found it entertaining, amusing, and totally real. These are real women, and the courage and talent of these women who perform potentially dangerous stunts is awe inspiring. This movie truly captures the athleticism and skill required to work as a stunt woman. Jean Epper and Zoe Bell are excellent subjects as one is enthusiastically entering the tough world of Hollywood stunt women as the other, a veteran, teaches her the "tricks of the trade". The audience was also taken by the story and its highly entertaining subject. I will never view an action flick again without thinking of these tremendously talented women who fearlessly make an action film what it is. Wonderwomanly wonderful.
Tough broads......
This is a pretty cool and interesting documentary if you understand the subject matter going into it. The movie primarily takes a look at two Holllwood stunt woman: Jeannie Epper, who doubled for Lynda Carter during the Wonder Woman series run, has been working in the business for approx 30yrs and comes from a whole family of professional stunt men and women; and Zoe Bell, a New Zealand native & young up and comer who doubled for Xena during that shows six seasons who is now looking to make her mark here in L.A./Hollywood. We get the background of each woman, a look at the difficulties that women face in the business, a lot of celebrity interviews, and some additional celebrity cameos that the filmmakers shot while making the film. What I particularly enjoyed was the immediate bond between Epper and Bell. Epper seems to take Bell under her wing rather quickly by helping with valuable training and allowing her to stay at her home while she struggles to get work and make her own name in the stunt woman profession. It's a nice inside look that goes to show not everyone in "the business" is just out for themselves. Epper comes across with genuine eagerness, kindness, and integrity as she guides Bell through the Hollywood machine. If the plot line so far interests you, or your a fan of shows like Wonder Woman and Xena, then this documentary should not disappoint. Recommended.
Showcases two ROCKING stunt women!
Double Dare is an excellent funky cool inspiring documentary! It features two rocking stunt women. One was a pioneer who worked on wonder woman and is now in her sixties and the other is most well know for her several years working on Xena. I just saw Zoe Bell at the 2005 Xena con. She did brilliant work on Xena & was also Uma Thurman's double for Kill Bill! It is also very heart warming to see the support that Lucy Lawless & Quentin have given her! At the Xena Con Lucy found a few fliers for the film leftover on the stage and she threw them out to the audience encouraging everyone to see it. The DVD has just been released & has some highly recommended extras!
