Stuntman

The work stunt men and women do is truly impressive. Cheers to Eddie and the achievement of a childhood dream. Academy award deserved for the eye roll at the dinner table.

This is my first review on IMDB (am a 36yo Fijian male). While the majority of the movie watchers don't actively think about all the people it takes to successfully pull off practical (and dangerous) movie stunts, without such people (hey even entertainment wrestling takes much stunt skill) many movies would not feel awesome nor the face actors who ride on the dedicated efforts of the entire team. Watching Mr Braun and this documentary is simply a pleasure as the piece is honest (IMHO) where you can also start to feel what they feel. Well made doc (easy on the eyes, ears and mind) and doesn't insult anyone. Mr Braun is an awesome guy (he became my hero while I watched this as I don't know him, and yes I have many heroes, male and female). If you are also looking for a real view (sort of) into the stunt person life try this feature. It is inspiring because we will all die but what matters is how you lived. Thank you (gave 10 out of 10, but yeah it's no Shawshank but in doc standards, 10 from me).

How could a film about such an awesome stunt be so deadly dull??!!

The first few minutes are good,and the last ten minutes are impressive ,and well filmed. The rest is just drawn out and boring. Without commercials,this easily could've been done in 45 minutes.

A story of; nostalgia, family, friends, never giving up, facing fears head on, and pushing forward and succeeding.

If this mess were only 30 minutes long it would be tolerable.

But someone thought that there are enough bored people to sit through 90 minutes of a cheesy "follow your dreams" show that should be on the Hallmark Channel.

The original Evel was a true Daredevil. He attempted to cross the Snake River in 1974.

This clown does it 42 years later and wonders why nobody showed up.

This video sat on the shelves 3 plus years for a reason.

I believe the work stunt men/women do is impressive.

However this old guy is not the one to tell the story. It should come from someone younger and who has a personality.
