"The Fall Guy" stuntman Logan Holladay shattered a Guinness World Record previously set in 2006 by Adam Kirley in "Casino Royale." Holladay was honored with his official Guinness World Record certificate, presented by Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt during a special screening of the movie on March 13 in Los Angeles.
The record broken by Holladay was for most cannon rolls in a car.The previous record stood at seven rolls in the "James Bond" film "Casino Royale." Holladay was able to beat the record with an impressive eight and a half rolls in "The Fall Guy." "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," a press release by Universal Pictures explained. "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." David Leitch, the director of the movie that pays homage to stuntmen, is one himself.
He has been a stunt double for Brad Pitt multiple times throughout his career, according to IMDb, including in the movies "Ocean's Eleven" and "Troy." As for Holladay, he grew up around a world of stunts, and continued on a similar career path that he saw his father take. "Growing up, my dad was a stuntman, so the influence of film sets and the world of stunts was always there," Holladay said per the press release. "When I learned about ‘The Fall Guy’ going into production, I knew I had to be part of it." After the first recorded attempt at the stunt, the record was not broken.
