Buddy Joe Hooker on ‘Hooper’
from Feeling Seen Hosted by Jordan Crucchiola, Buddy Joe Hooker, Marissa Flaxbart
Buddy Lee Hooker is the son of a stunt rider, and the siren song of the family trade has made him one of the biggest legends in Hollywood stunts, an authority on the stunt world, and a 70 (!) year veteran of the industry. He’s curated Criterion’s new “Stunts!” Collection, and brought us one of the few films that offers an honest look at the life of a Hollywood stuntman (stuntman, stuntman…): Hal Needham’s 1978 film HOOPER, starring Burt Reynolds and Jan-Michael Vincent. Then Jordan has one quick thing about the hotly anticipated action film THE FURIOUS – the trailer just dropped last week.
