The Warner Brothers studio wanted to use "The Stuntman" title for the Burt Reynolds action-comedy movie Collo d'acciaio (1978) which was about Hollywood stunt-work in movie-making. Director Richard Rush declined, the matter went to arbitration, and Rush won, as the title of the film had been sourced from Paul Brodeur's source novel which had the same title of "The Stunt Man". So Warners had to call the film something else which ended up being Collo d'acciaio (1978). Previously, Warner Bros. had offered, prior to this film's financing and production, to allow Rush to make Professione pericolo (1980) if it was as a straight action movie and without all the artistic layering and illusions. Rush also turned down this offer.
