Review: The Stunt Man is also one of my top ten favorites of all time. So, why is a classic like this not yet on DVD?

Summary: Take a Ride on Eli's Killer Crane - A must own DVD
Review: THE STUNT MAN is one of the best films of the 1980's and this 2 DVD set is a must own for fans of the film. The transfer looks great, and features an audio commentary by the cast and director. The second DVD features an excellent and (because of the way director Richard Rush plays with the camera angles and video FX) at times just plain goofy documentary. Rush appears on camera telling the story of the film, sometimes talking to himself in split screen. The entire cast is interviewed. Some great stories about the film. The section of the documentary dealing with the (lack of) distribution is fascinating. If you like the film, spend the extra money to buy this set. A must own and one of the best DVDs of the year.

Summary: My favorite movie
Review: The Stunt Man is, viewing after viewing, my favorite movie. Not only are Peter O'Toole and Steve Railsback Oscar-worthy in tailor-made roles, Barbara Hershey probably was better only in Woody Allen's "Hannah." Above all, the screenplay crackles. And on DVD, it looks better than I've ever seen it. Images are sharper, more vivid and widescreen.
The disc is a must-see.

Summary: Peter O'Toole at his caustic, dissipated greatest
Review: This film is a series of reality inversions. As fugitive on the run Steve Railsback blunders into a movie set, he sets off a chain of events that leads...well, no one seems to know where. Director Eli Cross takes him under his wing, or seems to. The Barbara Hershey character falls in love with him, or seems to. And someone wants him dead, or seems to, or maybe doesn't. It all comes to light in the final Duesenberg plunge off the bridge. Scattered throughout are many acidic comments on the movie business--one scene has O'Toole wishing that the script writer could see the daily rushes, as the director had kept a line or two of his dialog intact. Peter O'Toole's performance is a gem, worthy to be set at the other end of the stylistic spectrum of _Lawrence of Arabia_. His cynical grimace could curdle milk at fifty paces. This film reveals new details with each viewing, and is a classic, "cult" notwithstanding.

Summary: Clever!
Review: This is a clever movie with a lot of potential, but it doesn't seem to use this potential to the fullest. The only attraction here is the magnetic peformance of Peter O'Toole, who is in one of his best roles.

Summary: Suspense romance and comedy.
Review: This is a great movie. One of Steve Railsback's earlier films, it showed the great promise which has been realized over the course of his movie career. His portrayal of Cameron, the Viet Nam vet on the run, is heart stopping, poignant and totally believable. Why wasn't this actor given a better chance at the big time? Peter O'Toole is terrific in this movie as the tyrant director and the stunts are really great and fun. Watch this again and again and feel good.

Summary: Still brilliant after all these years
Review: This is a movie full of nuances and underlying themes; to "get" it all you have to see it a few times, it grows on you. Personally I found it thrilling. As a Railsback fan I enjoyed Steve's performance; it show-cased his continuing promise as a young actor. Peter O'Toole is great as usual and Barbara Hershey a delight.The second disk shows many of the deleted scenes plus the effots of Richard Rush to get it screened. Great direction and great music score.

Summary: Fantastic film that makes you think...
Review: This is mostly for ENZAM, and those who may also be confused. The Stunt Man is one of my favorite films of all time. I've seen it many times and perhaps I can explain the scene he presented as an example of a 'silly contivance'. In the scene with the original stunt man on the bridge, he stops NOT to give Cameron a ride, but to get ready for a stunt. He then kicks him out when he realizes that Cameron has gotten into the car. He guns the car and turns around NOT to run over Cameron, but to do the stunt. This scene is a perfect example of why the film works so well. Everything that happens in this scene is seen from Cameron's point of view. Cameron's somewhat paranoid view. Only after this scene plays out are we, along with Cameron, shown the rest of the crew making the movie. And as the film goes on we learn more insight about this scene. The original stunt man, Burt, was so hopped up, to do this dangerous stunt, we understand why he acted the way he did. The Stunt Man is one of those films that you will have the best experience with on your first viewing. As the audience, you take this ride along with Cameron, finding out what's going on as he does. And the twists and turns are wonderful. This is a GREAT script. It reveals its secrets little by little until, by the end of the film, we understand what's going on, why people have done what they've done, and it's a wonderful payoff. As for the acting, EVERYONE does a GREAT job in their rolls. Steve Railsback is not 'sleepwalking through the movie'. He's playing a haunted character who doesn't see a place for himself in this world, and he plays it great with all of the cynicism, anger, and frustration of a defeated man. This film has drama, action, romance and is extremely entertaining, but it's also the kind of movie that will make you think and work to figure out....
