Les cascadeurs de la mort

Apparently after The Man From Hong Kong, Brian Trenchard-Smith, Grant Page and Roger Ward had some free time, film, and the hang glider left over, so cranked out this meta stunt and filmmaking actioner. If you liked The Man From Hong Kong you'll probably like this lighter re-working of it. Margaret Gerard is beautiful. Many of the same crew later did the similar Stunt Rock.

Real-life stuntmen John Hargreaves and Grant Page star as stuntmen Rod and Steve. I'll admit, the acting is nothing to write home about, but I enjoyed the chemistry between the actors. John and Grant also allow for plenty of eye candy with their sexy, lean bodies and hairy chests. The film finds every excuse to show off their great physiques...and I'm certainly not complaining! Due to the humorist nature of the film, nothing here is to be taken seriously. The stuntmen are hired for a dangerous mission, but these men are so out of their league that the mission is not believable. Regardless, the film is a lot of fun, and there's plenty of great action sequences. As can be expected, the stunts are very good, too. I actually had a wonderful time with 'DeathCheaters'! It's a guilty pleasure!! Would I watch it again? Yes.

This is a fun movie provided it's not to taken too seriously. The plot is essentially an excuse to string together some great stunts that were quite high tech and breathtaking for their day. Abseiling down the side of the Sydney Hilton Hotel, dune buggy racing in a suburban shopping mall, and great pyrotechnics are just some of the many things you'll see. The film seems somewhat dated by todays standards, but still very enjoyable to watch.
