This movie is truly a cult classic. And incredibly hard to get, whether the
director Richard Rush wanted it that way, or whether it is so revolutionary
that it has been suppressed, if you get a chance to obtain this movie I suggest
you do so. I finally got mine. Ive seen this movie before. Its plot involves
an escaped convict and a egomanical movie director and the lovely Barbara Hershey
as the romantic interest. I want to make a movie someday. Im working on it
right now, even have a social website, Z Dreaming World, where I hope to
find and cultivate friendships with others with the same dream and interest.
The lighting and camera work in this movie is fantastic. Basically, a stunt
scene goes bad as Steve Railsback(the convict) stumbles onto the movie
site and the stuntman is killed. The director, played by Peter O'toole I
think, covers up the accident and convinces Steve Railsback to play the
part. Reality mixes with fantasy and perceptions are altered and revealed
in unique and interesting ways. Even harder to get than an original copy
of To Live And Die In L.A.(another fantastic movie), The Stunt Man DVD
isn't out there as a download or a torrent file, at least not that I
found. Prices for this movie where it is available are sky high. The
copy I got is one of the limited 100,000 released on this special anniversary
edition and I am most happy to have this wonderful cult classic DVD movie,
The Stunt Man. Living free, you can read me @ freescottwalsh dot info.
This is a well crafted movie. Every scene to produced perfect. There is action in this movie about making a movie. Everytime you think you know what is happening, you really don't. You see the behind the scenes of making a movie. Peter O'Tool is shining as a master manipulator/director. I have rented this movie to show to other people. I watched the first time over twenty years ago. It still impresses me. Not all movies can hold up to the test of time. There is a song in the movie with the line in the lyrics "Nothing is really what it seems."
Chose this title because of its cult status, but was disappointed in the product. Basically watching the making of a movie by an egocentric director without a whole lot of plot.
Haven't yet felt the need to watch the "Making of" documentary.
The Stunt Man is my favorite movie. Peter O'Toole is my favorite actor. I believe the movie has everything: story, action, humor, beatiful women, great music, etc. Blu ray has great picture, great sound and fantastic bonus material. I would recommend the movie to any adult.
O'Toole's best role since Lawrence of Arabia. This picture changed how film would br directed for many years. It got us out of thge sappy 70s style of film making to a more mature style that treats the moviegoer as inteligent as appossed to a mushroom.
A real gem:)
