Movies that feel like Hooper (1978)
Legendary stunt man Sonny Hooper remains one of the top men in his field, but due to too many stressful impacts to the spine and the need to pop painkillers several times a day, he knows he should get out of the industry before he ends up permanently disabled.
If you loved Hooper, the closest films we have are The Prodigal Son (1981), Snake in the Eagle's Shadow (1978) and Project A - Part II (1987). All three share Hooper's kinetic and witty feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is I Went Down (1997).

If Hooper hit the spot, these will too
Action with a pulse of play, in both cases
Both lean on momentum more than on comedy
Action built on wit, twice over
Kinetic action, and it commits to that
Both sit in the same playful register
Comedy of the same temperament
Both play action straight
