Tom Holland said that it was 'a lot of fun' getting hit by a car 17 times while filming 'Uncharted'
  • Tom Holland said that getting hit by a car for an "Uncharted" stunt was "pretty impressive."
  • The actor has previously spoken about how difficult the stunts for the film were.

Tom Holland said that it was "a lot of fun" filming a stunt in which he gets hit by a car in "Uncharted," telling The Hollywood Reporter that it was one of the highlights of his experience on the film.

Holland stars alongside Mark Wahlberg as a young Nathan Drake in the upcoming film, which is based on the video game franchise of the same name. And as the actor said in a Sony Pictures behind-the-scenes featurette released in January, the movie's stunts were enough to put even the man who's played Spider-Man for the past five years through his paces.

"The day I got hit by the car was pretty impressive. That was a lot of fun. It was very painful, but very rewarding," Holland told The Hollywood Reporter. "It's a pretty cool thing when someone says, 'How was your day today?' And I'm like, 'Hey, I got hit by a car 17 times.' And people are like, 'Wait, what?'"

Holland seems to be referring to a stunt that's part of the movie's grueling cargo drop sequence, which the actor previously called "the hardest action sequence I've ever made." Filmed over the course of five weeks, the sequence post-editing shows Holland leapfrogging from cargo blocks suspended in mid-air, free falling towards the ground, and getting rammed out of the back of a jet by a Mercedes-Benz sports car.

The behind-the-scenes footage in the Sony Pictures featurette shows the actor being slammed by a blue-screen car model, flying into the air while suspended on a harness.

"For me, that was a very proud moment, and I think it's one of the best stunts in the movie," Holland told The Hollywood Reporter. "It's really, really cool and that would have to be one of the highlights."
