The Stunt Man Blu-ray (Severin Films)
RELEASE DATE: June 7, 2011
The Stunt Man is a 1980 film directed by Richard Rush, starring Peter O’Toole, Steve Railsback, and Barbara Hershey. It tells the story of a young fugitive who hides as a stunt double on the set of an anti-war movie whose charismatic director will do seemingly anything for the sake of his art. Influential critic Pauline Kael considered it “a virtuoso piece of kinetic moviemaking” and rated it one of year’s best films. Some believe this movie inspired Ho Chung Tao (aka Bruce Li) to call his own movie The Chinese Stunt Man.
