Final Destination Bloodlines Breaks Record for Oldest Stunt Performer Set on Fire

Final Destination: Bloodlines has set a new world record for the oldest person ever set on fire on camera, featuring 71-year-old retired stunt performer Yvette Ferguson in its opening scene. Directors Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein brought Ferguson out of retirement to play Mrs. Fuller, who is shown engulfed in flames during a catastrophic sequence atop the fictional Skyview Tower. The feat, which involved a full-body burn, was so notable that the film’s stunt team has contacted Guinness World Records for official recognition. Cast and crew, including actress Brec Bassinger, celebrated Ferguson's achievement on set, describing the moment as both beautiful and exhilarating. This elaborate stunt underscores the franchise’s commitment to pushing boundaries with practical effects and sensational set pieces. Bloodlines aims to stand out in the iconic horror series by delivering one of its most ambitious and memorable opening sequences.
