Leitch mentioned in a video about the incredible stunt: “Fall Guy represents my journey as a stunt artist.”
Let's create a film that pays tribute to stunt performers. Let's strive to make the most impressive and grand versions of their stunts, and perhaps we can even set some new records!
The record is for a ‘cannon roll', where a nitrogen cannon is attached to a car and fired, enabling cars to roll without using a ramp or external factors like rigs.
Fall Guy aimed to surpass the previous record of seven car rolls with a cannon by using Gosling's stuntman.
See how they did it below:
Logan Holladay broke the Guinness World Record for the most cannon rolls in a car during a movie with eight and a half rolls.
Wordy, but impressive nonetheless.
Holladay claimed the record from Adam Kirley during the filming of Casino Royale.
When he talked about his achievements, he mentioned, “Once I found out that The Fall Guy was being made, I knew I had to be involved in it.”
I was confident I broke the record as the spinning seemed endless. It was surreal, and I'm proud of the team's accomplishment.
The Fall Guy releases May 3 in the US.
