The Stunt Man: The Stunt Man is a 1980 American film directed by Richard Rush, starring Peter O'Toole, Steve Railsback, and Barbara Hershey.  The movie was adapted by Lawrence B. Marcus and Rush from the 1970 novel of the same name by Paul Brodeur.  It tells the story of a young fugitive who hides as a stunt double on the set of an anti-war movie whose charismatic director will do seemingly anything for the sake of his art.

A Man Called Dagger: A Man Called Dagger (1968) is a low-budget spy film that was the first collaboration between director Richard Rush, cinematographer László Kovács and stuntman Gary Warner Kent (who also did the film's special effects).

USRC Rush (1885): USRC "Rush" was a Revenue Cutter named for Richard Rush, eighth Secretary of the Treasury.  She was a replacement for the USRC "Rush" (1874) and was much larger, but re-used the engine from the first "Rush".  She was completed in November 1885.  In January 1886, soon after commissioning, she was assigned to search for the whaler "Amethyst", last seen in the Bering Sea the previous October.

Racking focus: A rack focus in filmmaking and television production is the practice of changing the focus of the lens during a shot.  The term can refer to small or large changes of focus.  If the focus is shallow, then the technique becomes more noticeable.  In professional films, a camera assistant called a focus puller is responsible for rack focusing.  In his documentary film, "The Sinister Saga of Making "The Stunt Man"" the director Richard Rush claims he developed the technique in the 1960s.  In the commentary to the TV series "Firefly", visual effects supervisor Loni Peristere comments that rack focus has been taboo in recent cinematography because such shots cannot be "repaired" in post production.

Richard Rush: Richard Rush (August 29, 1780 – July 30, 1859) was the 8th United States Attorney General and the 8th United States Secretary of the Treasury.  He also served as John Quincy Adams's running mate on the National Republican ticket in 1828.
