Part of our Play It Cool annual summer rep series!
This year we are focusing partially on ‘Hollywood on Hollywood’ as we prepare for the new movie ‘Once Upon A Time in Hollywood’ which opens July 26!
The Stunt Man: On the run from the police, Cameron (Steve Railsback) crashes the set of a Hollywood war movie. When he inadvertently causes a stunt man’s death, the film’s manipulative director, Eli Cross (Peter O’Toole), decides to shelter Cameron from the cops if he steps in as the daredevil’s replacement. Though the arrangement seems like a good deal, it soon becomes a perilous position, with the situation only complicated when Cameron falls for the movie’s lead actress, Nina Franklin (Barbara Hershey).
Hooper: Sonny Hooper (Burt Reynolds) is getting too banged up to remain Hollywood’s top stuntman, but he signs up as the stunt coordinator for a big-budget action movie with a pushy director (Robert Klein) and a clueless star (Adam West). Ready to retire from the physical abuse, Hooper is gearing up to make the film’s climactic stunt his biggest ever, but cocky young stuntman Ski Chinski (Jan-Michael Vincent) aims to steal the glory with his more scientific, technology-oriented stunt methods.
