Double Dare (2004)

Simply A Masterpiece

Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

This was among one of the coolest movies/documentaries I've ever seen. It certainly makes me want to bow down and worship the female stunt double.The documentary follows Zoe Bell, stunt double for Lucy Lawless on "Xena: Warrior Princess" and Jeannie Epper, stunt double for Lynda Carter on "Wonder Woman" and the work they did as doubles for these series. It follows them as they meet for the first time, careers for female stunt doubles, Epper's attempts to get work as a stunt coordinator and Bell's 'audition' for "Kill Bill".The documentary interviews those Bell and Epper have worked with, including Lucy Lawless and Lynda Carter.Anyone interested in stunt work, "Xena" or "Wonder Woman" should most certainly watch this documentary.

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!

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.

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.
