- Synopsis
- Bulldogs, tells the rough-and-tumble story of the small community of British stunt performers who went on to dominate Hollywood in the 1970s and 80s. Growing out of the ragtag community of bouncers, gangsters and de-mobbed soldiers who were prepared to take a punch or chuck themselves down a flight of stairs for a few quid, the next generation went on to turn stunt work into a legitimate profession.
  Partying and drinking their way through death and tragedy, they created and performed the iconic action sequences of 007, Indiana Jones, Superman, Rambo, Star Wars, Conan, the Alien films and pretty much everything since. They crashed cars, jumped from burning buildings, shot, stabbed, kicked and punched their way into cinema history and all before the arrival of CGI. Bulldogs is the first feature documentary to unite this legendary community in telling their story and as you’ll see, there’s life in the old dogs yet …
  
  The final act will see the interviewees reunite at Elstree Studios for a roundtable conversation about their journey together before joining up with some of the industry’s current hottest talent (some of them their own children) to take a look at how stunt performance has changed in the last 30 years before joining together to perform one last stunt. In a final spectacular and unexpected sequence, our old Bulldogs will be filmed by multiple cameras performing a mass group stunt, which will see them all blown sky-high in a fiery conclusion to the film.
