With being thrown off buildings an occupational hazard, professional stuntwomen Jeannie Epper and Zoë Bell (the alter egos of Wonder Woman and Xena, respectively) would seem well-equipped for any challenges Hollywood might dish out. But finding roles -- and respect -- in a male-dominated field can prove more harrowing than dodging punches.

Double Dare Audience Reviews

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
Derrick Gibbons An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
TBJCSKCNRRQTreviews This happened to be on television, and I immediately decided to check it out when I looked it up, a few hours before it came on. I am very glad that I did. I have never heard of this before, but I instantly got into it. This follows two talented stunt women, one who's been in the business for decades(does the title Wonder Woman ring a bell?) and one who came into it much more recently(and worked on Xena!). It is quite engaging, and whilst it features numerous celebrities and a sequence from a nightclub, after-party kind of thing, it does not at any point lose itself in the glamour, or become a mere promotional piece. What really drives this is the personal touch, the people. There are interviews with big names, including Spielberg. This is well-edited, and the pace is great, not too fast and not slow. There are clips from the movies and shows they appeared in, conventions for The Warrior Princess, an awards ceremony, and you get an idea of what it's like to try to make a living for this duo. The music is fitting and cool. This is informational, entertaining and interesting. Also, Bell is *hawt*; I'm thrilled to see that she's had a lot of jobs since this was produced, and she's apparently acting some, too. There is a little strong language and sexual dialog(and imagery, well, skimpy outfits) in this. I recommend this to any fan of film and those who want to know about the industry. 8/10
tramsbottom A documentary from 2004 charting the rise of stuntwoman Zoe Bell (Death Proof) and one of the first stuntwomen Jeannie Epper as she takes Zoe under her wing.Zoe is a naturally enthusiastic person and Jeannie has years of working on the big Hollywood projects like Romancing The Stone, Wonder Woman and she was even given a role in Kill Bill Vol.2 as the preacher's wife. After Xena: Warrior Princess finishes, Zoe is out of work and travels to LA where Jeannie helps her eventually land Uma Thurman's stunt double role on Kill Bill. Interviews with Steven Spielberg and Tarantino himself blend wonderfully with the rest of the movie but it would have been nice to see more of the girls in their movies (prohibited by copyright in a lot of cases).Great fun and one of those films you wish would just keep going all night. The DVD has some decent features for such a low budget affair, with over an hour of interview footage with Spielberg and others that is just as fascinating as anything in the main movie. There's also deleted footage such as Zoe working on Kill Bill scenes and a jovial commentary by Bell and Epper where they drink champagne and end up slurring their words.Well worth a look if you like stunts, movies, Zoe or all three.
butter_burnt_toast What a great movie! These two women, Jeannie Epper and Zoe Bell, are some awesome ladies and the movie is truly inspiring. It's great that a movie like this exists for people, like me, to get a hint of what life is like for women in an underrated career such as the one of hard working talented stunt women. They are a talented few who represent the bigger picture of what it's like to be a woman in a career that is male based. Miss Jeannie and Miss Zoe make it possible for us to believe the danger that exists in the stories written for two of the most strongest woman heroes on TV. They help us feel what is happening to the characters they play, and since it's their job not to get noticed, and they do their job so well, it's easy to not realize that these stunt women doubles exist! So again, I am very happy to have seen this film about them. They are great!
BECKY-67 The storyline of the two stunt women in Double Dare was compelling and fun. It was well paced: up, down, sideways and all with outrageous stunts going on as a side dish. The main course here is seeing two people trying to break in, and stay in this brutal business.
