Overtake that car! Get close to the explosion! [[Describe Topic Here|Describe]] ''[[Stuntman]]''! [[Most Annoying Sound|Cut, that was too slow]]!!
''Stuntman'' is a game about [[Exactly What It Says
Also had a sequel, ''Stuntman: Ignition'', which toned down the difficulty and featured a new scoring system.
{{tropelist}}
* [
* [[Captain Crash]]: You'll be surprised how often you get "Hit the X" stunts...
* [[Car Fu]]: Both played straight and averted. If you need to tail someone, you can't hit them. However, you can be told to "Scrape along bus". The last stunt of the last scene of [[Rule of Three|the last]] film in both games has you take out a flying object with your car.
Line 16:
* [[Chase Scene]]: Duh.
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Some of the directors are a bit crazy.

* [[Cool Car]]: Ignition had cars with guns, monster trucks and hovercraft. Not to mention a Bond Car.
* [[Continuity Nod]]: The second game's second film is ''A Whoopin' & A Hollerin' 2'', the sequel to a film you do stunts for in the first game. Same with ''Never Kill Me Again'' from Ignition and ''Live Twice for Tomorrow'' from the original.
Line 23:
* [[Drives Like Crazy]]: And you get ''paid'' for it!
* [[Expy]]: [[James Bond|Crown. Simon Crown]].
* [[Follow That Car!]]
* [[Heroic Bloodshed]]: ''Blood Oath'' in the first game follows in the established tradition of John Woo films.
* [[Hollywood Police Driving Academy]]
* [[Lawyer-Friendly Cameo]] - You'll recognise several of the movies as homages of famous films, often as a blend of several. From [[Dukes of Hazzard]] to [[Batman]], and even ''[[Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels]]'' (except with more car scenes, because otherwise you wouldn't have anything to do in it).
* [[Loads and Loads of Loading]]: A major complaint for the first game at least: The game is already hard enough as it is, but having to wait through long loading screens for every retry makes it aggravating.
** Inverted in ''Ignition''. Load times are fairly short, and during the load, one of the bigger stunts is explained to you. When you restart, there is no loading screen ''at all''.
Line 35:
* [[Racing the Train]]: And driving ''on it'' to boot.
* [[Ramp Jump]]: And how!
* [[Real Trailer, Fake Movie]]: Once you've completed all the scenes for a movie, you can see a trailer for it. They're actually pretty good.
* [[Some Dexterity Required]]: Due to the realistic physics modeling of the cars, you need to be ''very'' dexterous with the controls in order to have any semblance of "control" over the vehicle. The game's introductory levels make you practice various stunt manouevers (such as 180's, reverse 180s, drifting through turns, etc) over and over until you've mastered them. It's made mandatory because you'll be using those maneuvers for the entire game. See [[My Car Hates Me]] above.
* [[Suspiciously Similar Song]]: The background music for the ''[[
* [[Trial and Error Gameplay]]: To some degree. In many scenes you're guaranteed to fail your first time through after having to make some wild-ass turn with only half a second's worth of warning.
* [[Under the Truck]]: You need to perform this stunt frequently in ''Ignition''.
