a look behind the scenes at Hollywood's top female stunt artists.

The story of Jeannie Epper, legendary stunt woman (who doubled Linda Carter on the original "Wonder Woman" television series in the '70's amongst many, many other legendary projects) meeting and befriending New Zealander Zoe Bell (now legendary stunt woman who doubled Lucy Lawless on "Xena", Uma Thurman in "Kill Bill Vol. 1 & 2" and starred in "Death Proof" as herself), mentoring her as she rises from relative obscurity to become globally known and respected for her natural talent. A warm and genuine story that shows that occasionally in showbiz, you can maintain your soul, be a good person and win the brass ring. Recommended.

Interesting little doc about female stunt people. Saw it at the Toronto Film Festival many years back.

Great look at female stunt actors and the business

"Double Dare" is a documentary about two Hollywood stuntwomen and their journey through a physically demanding industry. Even though I gave this film a low rating, there isn't anything wrong with it. I didn't really get into it but it was still interesting and informative. The main storyline of the documentary follows Zoe Bell as she transforms from Xena into Uma Thurman's double in "Kill Bill." I definitely have a greater appreciation for the endurance required by these warriors. I think that most people can appreciate this film but it because a lot cooler if you are a "Kill Bill" fan, even if the film is only included for 10 minutes. I enjoyed seeing Quentin Tarantino in this context, getting a glimpse into his world of casting. While it doesn't hold a ton of entertainment value like the documentaries that don't feel like documentaries, "Double Dare" serves its purpose and opens us up to the world of stuntwomen.

Extremely charming documentary. I love Zoe Bell. She's the sweetest. And Jeannie Epper is gangster as hell. Great glimpse into hollywood, and the reality of it.

Honestly, if you curious about the subject, it's a good movie to watch. Not really re-watchable in my eyes but, then again, few documentaries are. http://trust-the-dice.blogspot.com/2012/06/double-dare-2005.html

An insightful doc on women in the stuntwomen business. Good Stuff.

Great view of the working stunt person. And also the future of stunts and where women it in. Good film.

The movie sets you up perfectly for a great ending.

A good doc about what its like being Stunt Women. I have way more respect for stunt workers after seeing this.

A solid doc focusing on a couple of female stuntwomen attempting to keep their foothold in the Hollywood machine. Zoe Bell leaves the finale of Xena Warrior Princess and heads into the dreams of Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill. Seasoned professional Jeannie Epper (Wonder Woman, Robocop, Foxy Brown, Romancing the Stone, EVERY MOVIE EVER!) struggles with the business side while still putting her body in harms way for 2 Fast 2 Furious. I wish the film dove even deeper into this mad world of bodily devastation in which a good portion of your favorite films are actually performed by these faceless warriors, but as is, it's a nice glimpse behind the curtain. VF.

Expected nothing and got a good night of fun, laughs and education. And an interesting story.

This documentary is so honest and inspiring. The whole journey is shown, its peaks and valleys. A documentary is supposed to give the viewer insight and an aspect of reality; Double Dare does exactly that. I had never given so much attention to the stuntwomen behind my favorite stuntscenes, but I remember that it's because they performed seamlessly beautiful, so the viewer doesn't notice the difference. It's all the adventure and benefit without the weight of fame. Perfect.

"Double Dare" is a fun and interesting documentary about stuntwomen who rely on a combination of faith and fearlessness to survive in a field that has long been dominated by men. There is footage comparing stunt work to the finished product which helps illuminate the value of their work. My only major complaint is that there is not a more detailed history of stuntwomen in the documentary. "Double Dare" focuses on two stuntwomen from two different generations, Jeannie Epper and Zoe Bell, who are both in the process of looking for work in the documentary. Mostly known for doubling for Lynda Carter on "Wonder Woman," Epper comes from a family of stuntpeople(Steven Spielberg testifies to the vast amounts of her family working in the fight scene in "1941") and her daughter is also in the business. Even though she is nearing 60, Epper is nowhere near ready to retire, stays in shape, takes time out to donate a kidney and is even considering liposuction to look younger. Quentin Tarantino to his everloving credit is looking for toughness in casting for "Kill Bill" and for good reason. One of the stuntwomen he is considering is Zoe Bell who up to this point is mostly known for her stuntwork on "Xena: Warrior Princess" which had just gone off the air. Considering her next job, like some of her fellow New Zealanders in show business, she is daunted by the prospect of moving away from home to look for work in Hollywood. The irony is that once satisfied to work behind the scenes, since the documentary was released, she has started to develop a career as an actress.

Bom documentário sobre mulheres com a profissão de duplo centrado na ascensão da Zoe Bell, desde a "Xena" atà (C) ao "Kill Bill". Já gostava dela no "Deathproof", mas, depois do documentário, fiquei com a ideia que à (C) das mais adoráveis figuras secundárias de Hollywood.

A really interesting look at Hollywood stuntwomen from the perspective of two ladies who are at different places in their career: industry legend and now-septugenarian Jeannie Epper and (all-around awesome, cool chick) Zoe Bell just before she got her big break in Kill Bill. Some great commentary on a woman's place in that sector of the film industry and in general, just empowering to see women excel at such a physically demanding job.

Warm and humane view of two tough ladies who act as stuntwomen in blockbusters and television shows. Gives a colourful insight in a trade that normally doesn't have that much attention.

Interesting indie flick about female stunties. You can't help but really loving Jeannie Epper and Zoe Bell. Much respect.

Really interesting film about stuntwomen. I would have liked to known a bit more about the training and mechanics for stunts, but this was more of a human interest look at the topic. It follows two stuntwomen, Jeanne Epper (Wonder Woman) and Zoe Bell (Xena) over some events in their lives. It was fun to get to know both of those women a little. Seems like an exciting life to lead!
