Hell ! I feel cheated now ! ;)
Son, the stunt as it was done was considered dangerous by any stuntman in the business and they are in awe with what Cruise does, regardless of what you think of him personally. The man does put the money spend on the screen and goes far beyond the call of duty in his stunts for the MI series. Anybody even the MI naysayers will admit that the man is really special in the lengths he goes in doing stuff for his movies.
And I even go as far as claiming that Cruise might be one of the great movie-stars who really goes all the way for his fans in his movies and on the red carpet.
You mean he didn't? I feel so cheated now. Best go throw my copy of MR in the trash. ;) :D
Couldn't agree more. I watched a YouTube video of his appearance on The Tonight Show promoting RN last night and he talked about the plane stunt. Yes, he was strapped on, but the stunt was still incredibly dangerous. Besides the obvious danger of the harness breaking, he was also bouncing against the fuselage at a rather high rate of speed. He was also hit in the ribs by some very tiny airborne object (he said it was a small rock, although I can't imagine he would know for sure at that speed and altitude with his focus elsewhere) that he said made him think he had broken his ribs. Had he been hit in the face, he said the damage could have been much more serious.
I never said it was a continuous shot, as it quite obviously isn't, but he still had to train to hold his breath for a significant amount of time (over six minutes, according to his interview with Jimmy Fallon).
Which is a shame given most of it is a combination of motion control and CGI.
It would have been excellent had it been done as originally intended, as a one shot.
Just going by what he said on the show. He might have just been agreeing with Fallon, who led with the six-minute figure (although I suspect it was probably provided to him by Cruise's people), but he still had to train to hold his breath for a generous amount of time. A lot of other actors would send their stunt man into the tank and go grab a cup of coffee and watch on the monitor.
Mhm.
The U.S. has had an all-volunteer armed forces for more than 40 years. Tommy 'the machine' could have enlisted at any time.
Yes

And Mission Impossible did go space once in the 1988 series so it is in the realm of possibility. ;)

"Tom, stop!"
"No- I can do this."
"NO, you can't!"
" O'Donnell did it in Batman & Robin..."
"NO, he really didn't for REAL!!"
"THAT'S why this will be COOL!"
"you're the boss...."
"Exactly. Now when I get to the ISS tell them to prep for possible frostbite & keep the cameras rolling."
"Via con dios...."
