EPIC Barrel Roll stunt! James May's 2nd attempt | Top Gear at the Movies

and now it's time to revisit a classic Top Gear failure I realize of course that doesn't narrow it down very much so here's a quick reminder of a film we made a couple of seasons ago when we tried to replicate the famous car barrel roll from the Bond film the man with the Golden Gun and camera apologize for the hair then and now in this film we instructed Top Gear's stuntman to leave the comfort of his luxury home and use this mg maestro to reenact the famous man with the Golden Gun wrong collapse times sweat following my many complex calculations a huge pair of ramps were constructed and tockia stunt man was briefed by me about the exact approach speed that's excellent I think we've got it he then set off down the runway and into the history books straight into the chapter marked total failure and just to show you how bad that failure was let's see it again from several gratuitous angles so there you are the trickiest car stunt in the known movie universe and why it's the trickiest car stunt in the known movie universe however top gear stuntman is made of sterner stuff and he's also am afraid quite stupid so and we said could you do that again he said yes I could this time we gave him a white maestro and I don't know but it seemed to make all the difference yes he's done it and as we watch it again from several celebratory angles it just remains for me to say take that Roger Moore you you

For context, This is the James Bond scene. I believe in the dvd extras the director explains that it only took one shot and it wasn't done by the original stunt driver. Very impressive!
