UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif., March 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- In a heart-stopping display of precision and skill, Logan Holladay, stunt driver for Oscar® nominee Ryan Gosling's character in Universal Pictures' new 87North film, The Fall Guy, shattered the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title for most cannon rolls in a car, achieving an astonishing eight and a half rolls during the film's 2022 production on the beaches of Sydney, Australia. This groundbreaking feat in blockbuster director David Leitch's latest film surpassed the previous record held by stuntman Adam Kirley, who achieved seven cannon rolls during the filming of 2006's Casino Royale.

Key Points: 
  • The cannon roll, a classic stunt dating back to the early days of cinema, involves fitting a cannon-like apparatus beneath a car that shoots toward the ground.
  • As the vehicle reaches a designated speed, the mechanism triggers and propels the car into a series of rolls.
  • Holladay executed the stunt behind the wheel of a modified Jeep Grand Cherokee fitted with an external fiberglass body.
  • As for the cannon rolls, after two practice runs and one real take, we had one car and one shot left.
