New James Bond film Casino Royale has won a Guinness World Record for the most cannon rolls in a car.

In the winning scene 007's legendary Aston Martin is seen to flip and roll seven times.

Stunt double Adam Kirley plays Bond in the scene in which a nitrogen cannon blows the car through the air.

The previous record, with six rolls, was held by a Top Gear stunt man after an attempt last year.

Movie stunt coordinator Gary Powell, who set up the scene, said the achievement took a lot of practice.

"We rehearsed the stunt several times driving test cars, which were a similar weight to the Aston Martin, at 80mph towards a 10in ramp," he explained. "That worked very well, causing the cars to flip over at least five times in rehearsal.

"But we knew, due to the design and suspension of the Aston Martin DBS, it would probably level itself out in mid-air. When we came to filming the stunt on the night, as suspected, the Aston Martin DBS levelled itself out in mid-air refusing to flip over.

"Adam, the stunt driver, had to drive the cannon fitted Aston at high speed and hit the release at exactly the right moment, resulting in the record breaking stunt."
