Stunts!

Featuring a new introduction by stunt coordinator Buddy Joe Hooker, part of Criterion’s Spotlight series Don’t try this at home! Cocurated by legendary stunt artist Buddy Joe Hooker, this thrill-packed tribute to the art of stunt design—which will be celebrated at the one hundredth Academy Awards in 2028 via the long-overdue addition of a new category—celebrates the bold, ingenious visionaries whose invention and daring have brought seemingly impossible images to the screen. From the often genuinely dangerous slapstick wizardry of silent-comedy pioneers Buster Keaton ( The General ) and Harold Lloyd ( Safety Last! ) to the high-octane exhilaration of car-chase classics like Bullitt and Gone in 60 Seconds to the breathtaking, balletic action choreography of Hong Kong auteurs Jackie Chan ( Police Story ) and John Woo ( Hard Boiled , Face/Off ), these films explode with some of the most hair-raising, stylish, and unforgettable set pieces ever captured on film.
