I'd give 6'2 max. Doesn't look bigger than that in this photo. Looks 6'1 tbh there.

The name Sonny reminds me that The Godfather is on again tonight - hooray!
One of Don Corleone’s sons is called Sonny and there are two guys by that name in the great Donnie Brasco, a gangster movie based on fact. Hence, I tend to associate the name Sonny with the Mafia!
Sonny Landham hasn’t been in any gangster films to my knowledge, but he’d play a good one. The power gangsters, however, don’t tend to be tall, like Mr Landham.
I’m going with 6ft2.5.

The people saying he didn't look taller than Arnie in Predator either need an eye check or are straight trolls, especially hère on celebheights where people argue to the 1/8th inch xD
Sonny peak 189-190...
So definitely not far to 6'4 as shoe height or wake up height.
Also towered Sly in Lock Up, a movie in which Sly Wear outrgeous lifts towering Darlanne Fluegel and looking almost as tall as John Amos.
In the pic with Rob he looks like hé could stretch to 6'1 standing tall.

did hea only wight 195 pounds in predator at 189`? Its a long time since i saw that movie but i thought he looked like he did a little bit of gym training back then, maybe i remember wrong. 195 is almost skinny but at the same time he did have about 10-12 procent bodyfat at the time so i guess its possible he was that weight. But its strange i remmeber when i was 15 years old and was measured 193,3 cm in school and had pretty good abs at the time ( maybe not a perfect 6 pack but a 4 pack or 5) SO my guess that my bodyfat was maybe 12 procent back then similar to him. I weight 97 kg back then ( 214 pounds) and didnt look skinny but not very muscular. COuld he be that mutch lighter than i was back then? Maybe he have smal bones?.

I don’t get why people claim their shoes when they’re already a good height. 6’2-3 range is universally perfect for a male. 6’4 is perfect to me but not to all. But I surely wouldn’t want to be 6’6

@OriginalAnon if you have good proportions you can be guessed that high. I’m a strong 6’2 guy with wide shoulders and a 9.5 inch head and I’ve been guessed 6’4 a few times. The tallest I’ve ever measured is 6’2.75 in the morning

I am surprised to see this guy as tall as he is. I never thought he looked over 6'2''. 6'4'' claim is another ludicrous claim. What kind of an ego do you need to have to claim 2 inches over your actual height? It's an interesting phenomenon.

Married to a 5'9-10'' woman back in the seventies adult phase of his career, and he had the reputation of being a hothead. With the usual one inch heel addition of the era, he was not lying about once being 6'4.

Hawkins played by Shane Black is supposedly 5’10” in real life but I can’t see that being accurate. He has the proportions of a taller man.
He stands up nicely with the rest of the cast excluding Poncho Richard Chaves. Black you would swear by looking at his height in Predator up and down somewhere 6’0.5”-6’1.5”. But only 5’10” I can’t believe that.

he could look 6 foot 3 in really big botes. but without them i dont think he was ovetr 189. 188,5 seems fair for him. but the fact that he sometimes could look realy big is there. so 189 is maybe the best listing. But maybe 6 foot 2 and 1/4

Sonny definitely looked 6'3" in 48hrs. I think he lost a significant amount of height in his later years. I was very sad when I read about his passing.

Always liked him had a very unique cool guy vibe big and tall too.
He was already in his 40s by predator and measured up well with 6 4 plus guys.
Was in some b movie mid 90s still well over 6 foot after gaining 30lbs or so.
Recently he looked quite a lot shorter maybe 6 foot and clearly declining health.
R.I.P. give the guy a break had to be 6 3 peak or even close to 4 in shoes.

As for Landham's height? Yeah, I'd guess a strong 6-2, weak 6-3 would be about right (before his multiple series of serious accidents).

Only seeing about 4" of height difference between him and Rob in the photo, so Sonny looks 6'0" nowadays. His large head makes him look imposing, though.
Would put him at 6'1" peak. He didn't really look any taller than Arnold in Predator (who was about 6'1" too, despite claiming more), or like a very big guy in general.

People do lose height. Like I've been the same height with my friend for ages, it's only recently, when I've turned 30 that I've edged him, clearly. Hard to imagine a 30 year old gaining height. So I do believe Sonny lost height. He looked every inch like a guy who's 6'4 in the 80's

Sonny Landham - 6ft2½(189cm)
Arnold Schwarzenegger - 6ft1¾(187cm)
Carl Weathers - 6ft1½(187cm)
All 3 of these guys didn't look too far off one another. Schwarzenegger and Weathers both looked near 6ft2 in the 80's...

He had a serious car accident a few years ago that cost him inches of height. Not insane to think he was once over 6'3'' if he had an early peak. His youth was spent in a biz where people get worn out fast, and was pushing 40 years old by the time he got mainstream work, but in his 30's during the earlier career he looked around 6'3'' beside 5'10'' Marlene Willoughby.

In 48hrs a highway patrolman at the start says 'tall 6-4 200lbs' i do believe he was 6-4 in his day it is definitely possible to lose several inches in height if you have certain habits throughout your life ie excessive alcohol consumption, poor posture, excessive weight training using bad technique

Its weird in Predator,best of the best 2 and 48 hours he did indeed look all of 6'4" he had a little muscle though, i think everyone thought he was huge but he was barely over 200lbs. Hes like Nick Nolte who has a big head and broad shoulders giving the impression hes big but is in actual fact quite skinny with little muscle mass.

He looks very young for his age but still he has lost slighty more than the average man would at age 70.
Maybe his heavy weight has made him lose slight more than he should have?

Today 6'0.5 (184cm)

His 6"4 claims aren't just lies but they also have a level of arrogance about them...similiar to Kane Hodders pathetic 6"5 claims...purely driven by ego

in 48 hours the prison guard says he's 6'4 and in that film he looks it also he was very well built which could give the impression of him being shorter

Sonny Landham's heights are:
---PEAK---
Morning (out of bed)= 6'2.5" (1.89,2 m)
After 1,5-3 hrs= 6'2.1" (1.88,2 m)
After 5-10 hrs= 6'1.75" (1.87,2 m)
Today. he's clearly a solid 6'0.75"-6'1" (1.85 m), as rob said!

Well if he really was 6'2.5 at his peak then i guess he would not sound completely stupid claiming 6'4 even though he was nowhere near it. With rob if anything he looks 182cm. Maybe 6'1 if he stood better?

He did look taller in 48 hrs. but that was a long time ago. We do shrink as we get older, it's a fact of life.

He didn't look much taller than Schwarzenegger in Predator. Prolly a weak 6' 2'', maybe a little over. He def looks like he lost height, I don't even think he looks 6' 1'' here, 6' tops today. Thats what bodybuilding will do to ya I guess.

I don't find it hard to believe him claiming to be a 6'3''-6'3.5'' 192.5(cm) if he stands with a full stretch (feet together) but he's most likely 6'2''-6'2.5'' standing at his very straightess. at his most relaxed posture it could be 6'.5''-6'1'' like he looks to be in the above picture. He looks relaxed with his posture but maybe not very relaxed.
My dad in his early 60's is overweight and is a weak 5'10'' but fully stretched, chest out, feet together in stocking feet can shortly gain 2 inches of height no bs. Muscular and Obese who have bigger/wider chests and trapizius muscles are able to do this for some reason.

His calling for the genocide of arabs, and referring to them as ragheads certainly comes to mind. Also, the threatening calls he made to his ex-wife also serve to further emphasize your point.

I was sad enough to watch an episode of the fall guy, and Sonny was in it. The difference in height between himself and Majors was the same you can see between him and Rob. I think Majors was wearing cowboy boots too, so unless Majors was 5'9", I think Sonny was atleast 6'3" at his peak height.

I don't get why him claiming 6'4 is ridiculous.... Okay, nowadays he's closer to 6'1, but thats now, how about in his prime?! Its called height loss people. Watch Locked up with Sly or any of his movies from the 80's... He looks like a strong 6'3 - 6'4 guy.

Also, I believe his character in 48 Hrs. is described as 6'4". I'd buy a weak 6'3" for peak height, since he appears taller than Schwarzenegger and holds his own with Jesse Ventura and Bill Duke.

Editor Rob he looked in the 6ft -6ft 1 range whenever I saw him. Put it this way, he isn't losing 2 inches in posture, and actually has slight camera advantage, but that's barely much to bother about. Unless you have a short photographer, then it can hide or emphasise differences much more.
I was the first in line for this photo so I saw him with the photographer and knowing his height I estimated he wasn't over 6ft 1. And he stood beside a 6ft 3 fellow autograph collector behind his desk for a photo and again standing reasonably well didn't look over 6ft 1.

to be honest, he looked atleast 6'3" in Predator in what was a ensemble of actors who were all tall guys......he also did a movie with Stallone, and he towered over him by about 6 inches.....this guy must have lost a lot of height.

6'4" claims are just ridiculous. 6'2.5" tops.
I have seen Predator several times and the scene where Arnold and Sonny stand side by side (head-to-toe shot on a level ground) and Arnold was exactly as tall as Sonny. Maybe 0.5 inches shorter at best. Arnold was 6'1.5" back in the 80s so Sonny might be 6'2.5" at best, but no taller.

He doesn't look recognizable today from his role in Predator (1987) does he? I think he was 46 in 1987. He was near the same as Arnie in that movie, perhaps shading him by 1-2cm.

His estimates weren't all that accurate to be honest, unless their listings are wrong here and he's right. But I know Jean Claude is no way near the 5'10 - 5'11 Sonny mentioned him as.
