With one of the greatest stunt minds in Hollywood, Grey Powell, 'The Hitman's Bodyguard' is bound to be action-filled with mind-blowing stunts. With so much complex choreography, the crew actually needed to double the already considerable number of stunt cars the script called for and had as many as 15 cars at one time speeding around Holland's old razor-narrow roads."
Cars seen in the film range from luxury speedsters to commuter classics, with the list including the Porsche Cayenne, BMW X5 V8, Audi A6 3.2, BMW 530, Cadillac Escalade, Volkswagen Touran police cruiser, Jeep Cherokee, the electric Smart car, as well as a Triumph motorbike.
"The script was truly action-packed and the sheer number of different stunts was quite exciting for me," Powell recalls. "The biggest challenge was that with so many fights throughout the story, we had to find a way to keep each one fresh, different and fun." "We've got cars, motorbikes, SUVs, police cars and even speedboats racing through the canals of Amsterdam - which is something you've probably never seen on film," he muses.
