The Stunt Man (1980)

Ricky, Ricky, Ricky! We're back with our first episode stalwart, Richard Rush!

We always knew we would return to the world of Rush, this time in his most notable film, THE STUNT MAN. Starring Peter O'Toole, Barbara Hershey, and Steve Railsback, this film is a tale about a wanted felon who stumbles onto a film set and 'just begins working' as a stuntman and everyone loves him.

As you might expect, there are a lot of 'Rush-isms' in this, for better or worse. But honestly, we wouldn't have it any other way! Remember, King Kong was only 3'6". It was the 'movie magic' that made him tall.

THE STUNT MAN (1980) is available to stream free almost anywhere: TUBI, PLUTO, ROKU, PRIME, PEACOCK, PLEX!
