MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE STUNTS EXPLAINED
It’s almost objectively true that Tom Cruise’s Mission: Impossible films have occupied the apex of jaw-dropping stunts for years. And now, with the 7th installment, Cruise and Co. have raised the bar…again. In this video, we had the honor of sitting down with Stunt Coordinator and 2nd Unit Director Wade Eastwood to discuss those insane Mission: Impossible stunts and the harrowing tales behind them.
MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE BEHIND THE SCENES - ROGUE NATION
We’ve all wondered what it would be like to hang on to the outside of an airplane mid-flight, right? Well, Tom Cruise actually did it. What’s really amazing about the Airbus sequence is that the crew had only two days to complete it - one for rigging and rehearsal, one for shooting. The only safety precautions were eye contacts to protect his eyes and a rope and harness to keep Cruise from falling to certain death. The underwater vault sequence required an entirely different set of skills. The biggest one was Cruise holding his breath for up to 6 minutes in the same shot.
MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE STUNTS BTS - FALLOUT
In the next film, Fallout, another plane is involved, but instead of hanging on, Cruise jumps out of it at an altitude of 25,000 feet. This was the now-iconic HALO jump, and Cruise became the first actor to complete it on camera. Because they shot it at dusk, the camera (strapped to another diver’s helmet) had a very limited depth of field which meant precise choreography and planning. In another sequence, Cruise piloted a helicopter himself during an alpine chase. To capture the actor and his surroundings, specially designed camera rigs were mounted to the helicopter.
MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE STUNTS - DEAD RECKONING
In this installment, the team pulled off what might be the most dangerous stunt yet. Cruise was tasked with driving a motorbike off of a cliff and then base-jumping into the canyon below. While that may not sound extreme, the number of variables and potential accidents made this a big “don’t try this at home” stunt.
As Eastwood explains, the most impressive aspect of these Mission: Impossible stunts is that Tom Cruise also has to act in character while he’s piloting a helicopter or driving off of a cliff. The thrill that the audience experiences is uninterrupted by cutting away to a stunt double. These are the reasons why Mission: Impossible stunts are a cut above the rest.
When we take a look at Mission: Impossible behind the scenes and how Mission: Impossible stunts were filmed, we find a group of professionals pushing the limits on what's possible in film.

You have not idea how much this put a smile on my face. The stunt director is my hero here, he helps to develop the story that mcquarrie and cruise wants to bring into the audiences. That passion for such extreme sequences ended up making me a fan of the saga. What cruise does is matchless to what other people. What a year for action movies, specially because most major blockbusters are pure CGI, a very horrible CGI work most of the time. Here we have pure cinema in sense of camera work and narrative. Tomorrow will see dead reckoning i am beyond excited to see my favorite action hero and movie hero.

Nice video - just one small point. HALO jumping does not imply a particularly low parachute opening - the "L" is just to differentiate it from HAHO jumping, where the parachutist opens unusually high. HALO and HAHO jumps are performed using modern RAM-air (rectangular) parachutes. While these canopies are great, they are more prone to malfunction than the old-fashioned round parachutes. Additionally if they do malfunction, unlike round canopies they have to be jettisoned before opening the reserve parachute. A skydiver in a belly-to-earth position towards the end of a HALO freefall is going to be falling at around 120mph, so is eating up altitude very quickly _but_ needs the parachute to open relatively slowly in order not to injure him or her through sudden deceleration - so it's not unusual for a parachute to be designed and packed so that it might take up to a thousand feet to open fully. All of this means that (unless you are BASE jumping) there is a minimum safe altitude for opening a parachute on a HALO jump, and that is definitely not below 2,000 feet. 3,000 feet is the likely minimum.
Just came back from the theatre! Tom Cruise was 🔥 as always! Don't miss.

the only major gripe i had with part 1 was that the two cop agents served absolutely no purpose in the story but to hog 10 minutes of total screen time to obviously show how they are in a thin line between following their superiors and doing what they think is right. And how the biggest stunts in the movie of cruise jumping off a motorcycle and speed flying were cut extremely short.

Yesss, definitely right! When i watch it, cross in my mind why the BIGGEST stunt that need a lot of time and source in final cut is really really short?? I don't understand and because of it that scene is not memorable, i think this part one compare to fallout is one level below it.

My guess is that they came up with the stunt before they wrote the screenplay. It did not flow with the story and was not really needed. You could perhaps say that about some of the stunts in previous films as well but it was more obvious here. Still an incredible stunt though.

Whether it's ego trying to show the experts that an actor can hang with them, or just saying that wasn't right we need to do it again because he just wants to extend his play time (which is what I would do) I have to give it to him. The Mission Impossible series have been some good movies. And despite the off screen things that do make him look like the usual hollywood dork, on screen he has represented the craft of cinema extremely well.
