Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis film was not a tribute to just stuntmen in general but to the well-known stuntman Jock Mahoney. Mahoney is the stepfather of co-star Sally Field.
- GoofsWhen Hooper drops from the zip line wire with a dog, he can clearly be seen holding a stuffed dog. It was then changed out after a cut when he landed on the jump bag. The irony is that the movie itself said no one would believe it was real if they used a stuffed dog for that stunt.
- Quotes
Jocko Doyle: You oughta drink more. Nothing hurts when you're numb.
- Crazy creditsOuttakes from stunts performed in the movie are shown over the closing credits.
- Alternate versionsTV versions have included numerous outtakes which include a much longer party scene following the fight at the Palomino Club in which: Ski discusses his marital woes with Gwen in Hooper's kitchen (a dropped subplot); an awake, and very rowdy, crowd views "stunt reels" culled from "Deliverance"; and Jocko and Sonny have a lengthier sunrise discussion about babies. Later on, Sonny and Ski also get into a hairy fistfight outside of Sonny's trialer.

Whenever you feel a little down ....... Just watch "HOOPER"
"Hooper" is one of the most upbeat films I've ever seen. Everyone in the movie is so positive. The stunt men believe they can do the stunts, the director believes in getting the big shot, and everyone seems to be having a great time. You can't help but be entertained. The chemistry between Burt Reynolds and Sally Field is believable, and some interesting supporting actors make major contributions to the fun. Even Terry Bradshaw and Robert Tessier in the barroom brawl are memorable. So the next time you are feeling a little down, I recommend watching "Hooper" for immediate relief, because everybody loves a good time and a good movie. - MERK
