12 great movies directed by former stunt people you can watch at home
With the release of Netflix’s Day Shift, the directorial debut of stunt coordinator J.J. Perry, we thought it would be a good idea to look at some other great movies directed by former stunt people. Perry is the latest in a long line of stunt people who have made the transition behind the camera. He’s worked his way up from stunt person to stunt coordinator to second unit director (often tasked with shooting the action in movies) and now, for the first time, just “director.” Even if you didn’t realize it, you’ve probably enjoyed his work. Perry did stunts on Blade, Iron Man and Django Unchained, and directed action in movies like Warrior, Spy, and F9: The Fast Saga. Most of the other names on this list have done their time in a similar fashion, and when they got their chance to direct, they made the most of it.
