Hooper

This week I decided to give ya'll a movie that is one of my favorite guilty pleasure movies. It is a Burt Reynolds movie that just seems to have gotten lost in the ether somewhere.....

Burt plays the title character, a stuntman who's getting towards the end of his career and gets pushed by a young hotshot, Jan Michael Vincent (pre-head trauma). Sally Field plays his girlfriend.

Its basically the story of a once great stuntman's last hurrah in the movie industry. It's not much of a movie in character study, but it does have some good action and interesting supporting players.

I've always had a soft spot for those movies that came out in the late '70s and were shown on Showtime repeatedly because they didn't have anything else to show.
