More goodness here. B Roll footage.
Thanks for that: remarkable stuff. That he did the skydive is more impressive than most movie stars: doing fighting in mid-air too? Unbelievable. I think only Jackie Chan has ever done this level of stuntwork himself (and of course he did it without safety wires, but thatās properly nuts!).
It just looks fantastic.
McQuarrie said it himself - āWe couldnāt put our A-List lead through this much s*** if he wasnāt the producerā

Incredibly exciting. Canāt wait to buy a big tub of popcorn and enjoy this movie.
This Hollywood Reporter review is also a rave - and highlights the importance of the great stunt coordinator and second unit director here: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/review/mission-impossible-fallout-review-1126693

I saw it last night. I immediately wanted to watch it again.
Amusingly, the helicopter chase had certain action beats that seemed like McQuarrie saw SPECTRE and thought, āLet me show you how itās done.ā
āCruise isnāt scared to show physical and emotional vulnerability here, even as he pushes himself back to his feet and goes after his target for the umpteenth timeā
Glad to read that, itās been my one gripe with this series that it hasnāt showcased Cruiseās true acting ability as much as it could have.
Further glowing reviewsā¦
I also saw a featurette in the theaters that showed Tom Cruise learning to fly a helicopter so he could do the actual helicopter stunts, including a treacherous ācorkscrew diveā, with cameras attached to the exterior so the audience could see it was actually him. As if the HALO stunt and motorcycle work alone werenāt each enough worth the price of admission. This franchise has really notched up their game from Ghost Protocol on.
One the reviews talks about this - how a partnership with Bad Robot has allowed this series to show what it can REALLY do.
Iām really psyched that already the film is producing RAVE reviews from just about everyone who has been lucky enough to see it so farā¦
EON and Danny Boyle, the pressure is on for Bond 25ā¦hope you step your game for 2019.

Iām not sure if they need to be trying to outdo the Mission Impossible films in terms of adrenaline. I think that would be very hard to do. Cruise has corned the market there. Heās a master at this stuff. Iām not saying they should throw in the towel. Bond will always need stunts, and I still want to see them. But rather emphasise the class, humour and British charm that is so distinct with the Bond series. Thatās what sets him apart.
