Hollywood Bulldogs: The Rise and Falls of the Great British Stuntman (2021)

Hollywood Bulldogs tells the rough-and-tumble story of the small community of British stunt performers who went on to dominate Hollywood in the 1970s and 80s. Growing out of the ragtag community of bouncers, gangsters and de-mobbed soldiers who were prepared to take a punch or chuck themselves down a flight of stairs for a few quid, the next generation went on to turn stunt work into a legitimate profession. They created and performed the iconic action sequences of 007, Indiana Jones, Superman, Rambo, Star Wars, Conan, the Alien films and pretty much everything since. They crashed cars, jumped from burning buildings, shot, stabbed, kicked and punched their way into cinema history. This is the first feature documentary to unite this legendary community in telling their story and as you'll see, there's life in the old dogs yet.

They deserve better.

The stuntmen have earned a decent tribute- but this isn't it.

From the hyperactive visuals of the credit sequence, (soundtracked by a gawd-awful out of tune racket about 'heads getting kicked in')* to the cliched and frankly unnecessary narration by Winstone, it's disappointing, certainly for production values.

The interviews in the trail seem genuine, if one gets past the crappy opening.

*Apparently the racket is by Motorhead.

Hollywood Bulldogs

Documentary charting the experiences of some of the great British stuntman who worked on most of the big action movies of the seventies, eighties and nineties. Some of the tales are quite troubling, but there is no getting around what a tough, but likeable bunch of guys these are and what a fabulous life they've lead.

A must for real film fans.

Laid back action heroes.

Great laidback insight covering, almost, the entire stunt era - from the tough guy, through the organisation of the guild, to the CGI era.

Hollywood Bulldogs pays homage to the stunt trade. It delivers its praise by means of interviews, with a very laid back group of action heroes, and some great footage - it does so very well.
