The Stuntmen is a one-hour documentary for Australian TV written and directed by Brian Trenchard-Smith.

It won Best Documentary at the 1973 Australian Film Awards. [2]

It was through this film that Trenchard-Smith met Grant Page, who he put under a five-year contract and featured in a number of films. The film also acted as a "calling card" which enabled the director to get finance for The Man from Hong Kong (1975). [3]
