 filmcritic.com Movie Review: Double Dare
A well-meaning and informative documentary about Hollywood’s unsung stuntwomen, Double Dare is lucky enough to have a pair of charismatic women at its heart, but fails to look deep into the industry, preferring to follow its two stars around and see what they get into.
This constant grind is a rough fact that Double Dare drives home with authority: one would think that given Epper’s resume – besides Wonder Woman, she’s worked in over 100 films, and doubled for everyone from Kathleen Turner to Cybill Shepherd – she wouldn’t still have to get out there and hustle.
Preferring, not surprisingly, to focus on its leads and leave most of the history and mechanics of their profession to others, Double Dare is nevertheless a charming piece of work that, if nothing else, shows how far a couple of well-trained and utterly fearless women can get in a man’s industry.

 slant // magazine.com: Film Review - Double Dare
Jeannie Epper, 64 and still going strong, is a legend descended from a long line of esteemed stunt people, and her résumé includes countless stints on both television (most notably as Lynda Carter's stand-in on Wonder Woman) and film (her most recent project being 2 Fast 2 Furious).
While Double Dare fills out its fly-on-the-wall material with interesting anecdotes from talking heads (including Steven Spielberg, Tarantino, Carter, Lawless, and various friends, family members, and colleagues), what's lacking is some historical perspective on the past (and evolving) role of women in the stunt profession.
The film depicts Epper and Bell as eager members of a marginalized sisterhood that struggles for recognition and respect, but without a context within which to place their stories, Bell's eventual entry into big-budget blockbusters, as well as Epper's continued ability to procure injury-prone jobs, is sapped of any larger significance.

"Double Dare," from Amanda Micheli, is an entertaining look at stuntwomen in Hollywood, focusing on Jeannie Epper, a now-sixtysomething pioneer who still does stunts, and young Zoe Bell, formerly Lucy Lawless' double on "Xena: Warrior Princess," now trying to find her way in a business that's as dangerous as it is unforgiving.
Missing a safety mat on a stunt involving a hydraulic boost caused her a dislocated wrist and torn ligaments, meaning her Kill Bill involvement was cut short as she recovered.
