Summary: Circus People/Hollywood -- Fascinating Hybrids!
Comment: That was the quickest 210 minutes I've spent in a LONG time. These two women, Jeannie Epper and Zoe Bell, are fascinating. The stunt world seems to be about half carnie and half Hollywood...I'd say the best of both worlds.
Jeannie is totally remarkable for her generosity, both in her encouragement and help toward the young Zoe, and in her life in general--obviously very giving to her family and she even gave a KIDNEY to her unrelated friend Ken Howard! I'd never heard that story before--wow.
Less of the personal side of Zoe was shown, but what we did see was how remarkably her body has always done what she wants. As someone who couldn't even do a cartwheel as a child, I am in awe and very envious.
This was a terrific documentary. The editing was tight and it had zero slow spots for me, but then I'm a big documentary fan. As I noted at the beginning, the movie flew by. Like Wonder Woman!

Summary: Tripple-Dog Daring Ladies; Thanks So Much
Comment: Wow, I've been so thirsty for material on stunt women and this was a drop of water in a very dry bucket. I've been long time fascinated with the women who bring my favorite super hero's into action. Being a female I'm naturally more interested in female super "hera's" and the relationship between actor and "stuntor". To make the scene come off seamless they really have to collaborate like synchronized ballerinas to successfully pull off a convincing action sequence and it's utterly amazing. After watching this I did a little research on stunt women using Buffy the Vampire Slayer as a reference point and I was amazed to find out how many beautiful talented women there are in this industry. There are not too many clips for BtVS fans that show the making of action scenes where the stunt double steps in and the actor sashays out. But Double Dare takes you there, shows how much work both actor and stuntor do work together equally hard in different ways. If you are buying this strictly as a Lucy Lawless fan you will not get enough of her-she is an amazing woman and the few scenes with her are priceless and worth your collection, but this is about the unsung hera's, the stunt woman. Had I to do it over again, and knew such possibilities existed, I wouldn't have scoffed at gymnastics and been a stunt woman for sure. Thanks to Quentin for making great women hera's and I appreciate your humor for killing your character every time you or someone else plays a misogynistic bastard-as if you're reading this LOL Thanks to Joss Whedon as well. But mostly thanks to Jeannie Epper, Zoe Bell, Amanda Micheli,Sophia Crawford, Melissa Barker and countless other women who have pioneered this industry and to the men who recognized their talent and gave them the leg up in a male dominated role.

Summary: XD lovely
Comment: I loved watching this - over and over... and over. It's not at all boring, not one second. You really get to see Zoë and Jeannie in their almost day-to-day life. It's worth buying. I got it for my birthday and I've never been happier.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Outstanding look into the film business
Comment: I'm in the film industry myself, and this is a great look at the inner workings; how hard life can be and how erratic careers can flow. Very highly recommended!

DOUBLE DARE is a double-barreled, action-packed documentary about the struggles of two stuntwomen in male-dominated Tinsel town to stay working, stay thin, and stay sane against the backdrops of Xena: Warrior Princess, Wonder Woman, and Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill.
