Hooper
Sonny Hooper, Hollywood's greatest stuntman, deals with his relationship with the daughter of his mentor, a challenge from a young stuntman who idolizes him, and the egomaniacal director of his latest movie. He ultimately attempts to perform a record-breaking jump over a gorge in a rocket-propelled car.

Guilty pleasure stunt-guy flick. Worth it for the final stunt of the film.

Director Needham had graduated from being a stuntman to direct Smokey and the Bandit, but you would have to dig deep to find any great insight into the trade.

A highly entertaining tribute to Hollywood stuntmen. The best of the Burt Reynolds-Hal Needham collaborations.

Any film with Robert Klein as the villain can't be all bad

Mr. Reynolds has made a movie to please fans of all persuasions, and to please them a great deal.
April 17, 2005
Slight yet likable stuntman comedy.
February 02, 2016
People have been mentioning Burt Reyolds and Clark Gable in the same breath for several years now. With Hooper, Reynolds has finally justified the camparison.
January 01, 2000
A lot of people and things are variously punched and smashed, and a good time is had by all.
February 02, 2016
One of the least offensive Needham-and-Reynolds efforts, but that isn't saying much.
June 24, 2006
Director Needham (an ex-stuntman himself) slips effortlessly into a lightweight satire of the movie biz and an almost Hawksian action-comedy of male-group professionalism.

Individually, the performances in this story of three generations of Hollywood stuntmen are a delight. And Hal Needham's direction and stunt staging are wonderfully crafted.
