HOLLYWOOD (Zap2it.com)-- Quentin Tarantino, Darryl Hannah, Lucy Lawless and other stars showed up for a documentary about Hollywood stunt women at the AFI Film Festival Friday night (Nov. 14).

"Double Dare," a film by Amanda Micheli, premiered during the closing weekend of the AFI festival, held at the Arclight in Hollywood. The movie is an action-packed story about stunt women Jeannie Epper and Zoe Bell. Epper refuses to retire at the age of 62 and was the double for Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman in the '70s, while Bell landed the job of doubling for Lucy Lawless as "Xena: Warrior Princess" at the age of 18, and recently starred as Uma Thurman's double in Tarantino's two-part "Kill Bill" films.

Along with the stunt women themselves, other stars attending included Michelle Rodriguez and Renee O'Connor.
