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.

Load of rubbish!!

Dreadfully Boring

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

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.

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!

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!

Director Micheli weaves a compelling story of two stunt women from different generations that's gripping, funny and a unique story you're not going to see anywhere else. I highly recommend this fast paced fascinating documentary. Jeannie Epper and Zoe Bell really pour their hopes and dreams out. Quentin Tarantino and Steven Spielberg make an appearance because they care about what stunt women bring to the table. See it.
