Why this lender recommends it

Stunting in the Cinema is a definitive, highly respected look behind the scenes of movie danger that successfully balances meticulous historical research with practical, insider knowledge. Written with serious academic respect rather than Hollywood gossip, the book treats stunting as a legitimate art form, elevated by co-author Derek Ware's authentic real-world experience as a stuntman and packed with rare archival photos and technical diagrams. However, because it was published over fifty years ago, the text feels dated as it completely misses the CGI era, modern digital effects, and high-tech safety gear.
