Today, my wife and I are watching Mission Impossible for the first time!
When U.S. government operative Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and his mentor, Jim Phelps (Jon Voight), go on a covert assignment that takes a disastrous turn, Jim is killed, and Ethan becomes the prime murder suspect. Now a fugitive, Hunt recruits brilliant hacker Luther Stickell (Ving Rhames) and maverick pilot Franz Krieger (Jean Reno) to help him sneak into a heavily guarded CIA building to retrieve a confidential computer file that will prove his innocence.

One of the greatest things about this movie was that in the original Mission: Impossible series, you always felt afraid for the characters, you always felt tension that they were going to die, but they always made it out. None of them ever actually die. And then in this movie they just totally subvert that expectation and shock watchers of the original series by killing nearly the whole team within the first 15 minutes.

Cruise's original plan for the franchise was to make each film radically different from one another in terms of style and tone. It's why John Woo came on to direct the 2nd film and later why JJ Abrams made #3. It's wasn't till then that they started making a long running story arc that started in #3 and continued all the way to the latest movie Dead Reckoning.

The way it was shot with unique camera angles was due to Brian DePalma directing, it’s a style of his he used in Scarface, Carrie, The Untouchables and Carlito’s Way. He’s very good at filming tension, the stairway scene with the baby carriage in The Untouchables comes to mind.

One of several classic tv series, created by Bruce Gellar. Among the many iconic series of the 1960s Spy craze. There was a continuation of the series in the late 1980s with characters from the original and newly added characters. The theme by Lalo Scrifrin is so timeless with Intrigue and excitement. Adam Clayton & Larry Mullen from the group, U2 did a new version of the theme song for this movie. Tom Cruise in the mid-1990s officially became a producer. Both Cruise and miss Paula Wagner formed a company. Both were given the greenlight for the rights to make M:I as an movie. This first film matches the tv series at almost perfect beat and Cruise becomes the consummate stunt performer we know him to be today. As the tv series resurged back into reruns, Cruise definitely had a franchise and we couldn't wait for more missions on the big screen. Your gonna love the other 5 installments.
So some extra info about this film. Jon plays the main character from the show Jim Phelps played by Peter Graves at the time. He was supposed to return in the film but the actor refused to play Jim as a Villain so they recast him with Jon Voight. Also, alot of easter eggs and references from this particular movie make a come back down the line so do pay attention and try to remember them. Makes it all the more fun.
19:33 yawning and shocked and stressed out at the same time 😂 only Jen could pulled that off ! Love your reactions Jen and Holden 💕 big fan from Switzerland 🇨🇭
It's a good thing you're going back and watching these from the beginning. There are characters here that actually return in later installments. One character introduced in this film shares a family connection to a character in a future film. So, there's a sense of continuity story wise between the films.
What is even more stunning that Jim Phelbs was the mole at the time is that he was the main prodagonist of the entire TV show !

Maybe it’s because I’m just an old fart but MI:1 is still the absolute best MI movie after all these years. The OG DePalma style of psychological tension and cinematography just cannot be duplicated by any other director. If you are interested in seeing more DePalma movies, I highly recommend *_Raising Cain_*_ (1992)_

Hi Holden & Jenn, loving the fact your doing this series, they just get better and better. I’ve a personal love for MI 2, John Woo is the director (of Face/Off fame) and main bad guy played by Scottish actor called Dougray Scott who without spoiling anything when he says Hunt you can almost imagine he’s meaning another word (used a lot in Scotland) that rhymes with Hunt, I’ll let you guess it and not type here. Love the channel, keep up the good work. Cheers from Saltcoats, Scotland

YES!! One of my favorite Action Adventure Spy Movie Franchises. Alan Silvestri composer of Predator, MARVEL'S The Avengers, and Back To The Future, was hired to write the score to the movie but was fired by Director Brian DePalma thought that score wasn't powerful enough. Silvestri would use his rejected score for the Arnold Schwarzenegger Action Adventure ERASER.
I love seeing Jen speak sign language every video thats always fun
Yea, Ethan figured it out upon meeting up Jim. We saw it in his head but he played along with Jim. Notified Kittridge ahead of time and...."Good morning, Mr. Phelps." Absolute brilliance~
Hey, Holden and Jen! The Lalo Schifrin score was made famous by the '60s TV series. What many people don't realize is that Voight is playing Jim Phelps, the team leader played by Peter Graves in the original show and '80s reboot! That means the hero of the series turns into the villain of the movie! Phelps kills his young wife because his ego couldn't tolerate her being attracted to his young protege. He wanted absolute loyalty and commitment from her. Having her work in close proximity to a guy like Ethan, their December-May relationship was doomed from the get-go! Lol. Their mutual attraction was evident in the first scene. The series was more about long cons such as the opening set piece and relied on the gimmick of wearing disguises and utilizing cool spy gadgets. The movies are more about white-knuckle stunts performed by Cruise himself! The series is consistently excellent and is one of the best action franchises ever made! Beginning with the third film, the narrative becomes an ongoing one carrying over into subsequent chapters. The first three films are products of their directors bearing their undeniable signatures: Brian DePalma, John Woo and J.J. Abrams.
For like, 3-4 years of my childhood, I was 6 or 7 when I first watched this movie. Whenever I needed a haircut, I would go into the salon and ask to get the, Tom Cruise from Mission Impossible, because of this movie. The only reason I stopped, was because the movie fell out of popularity and the hairdressers no longer knew what I meant.
Yeah this was one of the four hit movies of '96: MI, Twister, The Eraser, Independence Day. Great film. About MI2, you're right. it's directed by John Woo, with his signature "two gun" style. So it's slightly more actionny vs espionagy.
It’s always interesting hearing the opinions of someone whose seen the later films going back and watching this because the series has evolved so much. This one is so distinctly De Palma
So, Jim Phelps is a character from the original TV show (and the 1988 reboot) played by Peter Graves. People weren't especially thrilled that he was made into a villain, especially because this was supposed to take place in the same universe as the shows.

You can include Peter Graves on the list of people who weren't happy with Jim Phelps being the villain.

So they got Jon Voight to play the part.

I was in High school and working in a theater when this movie was released. We used to clean the theater to the Mission Impossible music, while ducking behind and running in-between theater seats.

When she said "Oh no! The fish," all I thought of was "Is that a fish?" LOLLLLLLLLL
I loved watching the wife get so involved in the suspense that she was wound up and almost shaking
So those types of tilted shots are called " Dutch angles". You see them in a lot of horror and mystery films because they are suppose to represent a sense of Paranoia and unease.
I used to watch the reruns of the 60’s TV series as a kid and then the follow-up series in the 90’s. The movies are great too!😊
Originally Luthor was not supposed to make it to the end of the film as an ally of Ethan Hunt. Ving Rhames commented that he's like to avoid the black character being a villain and/or dying. Tom Cruise asked that the role be re-written and he became his only ally and then subsequently returned for the remainder of the series. Also, the actor who is killed on the elevator is Emilio Estevez, good friend of Tom who served best man at his wedding to Mimi Rogers. The original series revolved around an ensemble cast, but the filmmakers wanted to kill off the team to shock the audience early on. Estevez had a break between another production and was already in the area where they were shooting, so he came on board for a few days to shoot his scenes uncredited as a favor to Cruise, who had cameoed in his film "Young Guns" some years prior. Plus, many of the original TV show actors disavowed the film, saying that it had wildly departed from the spirit of the original show. Some going to far as to boycott it after discovering that Jim Phelps, who was the leader of the team on the show, had been turned into the main villain.
Its about time. Cant wait till u guys watch the last 3 movies.

Jen is really good at this
Looove how Jennifer notices everything fast and comes to conclusions
I read somewhere, that Kristin Scott Thomas (Sarah), when asked about the fact that she died so soon in the movie, said something like "I died on page 27, but I died in the arms of Tom Cruise, so it was worth it".
I loved this tv show as a kid. From memory the music is from that. I think they had a rotating cast and then the boss (who was consistent in all episodes) would reveal which skills they would need for mission and therefore who was in the crew.
I love in Prague so that “That’s pretty” made me happy haha. Some of Ghost Protocol was actually also shot in Prague, and there a couple of czech actors in the movie.
Finally! Can't wait for these reactions, it's my favourite action movie franchise and probably my favourite franchise overall too.
Excellent DB Cooper reference, Jen! 🤣 🤣
It was in the show where the theme was first used, you can tell because the theme is also used in ace Ventura and that movie came out a few years before mission impossible
Awesome that you guys are watching these now. Hope you watch ALL of them.... they're all great. Personally, this first one and Rogue Nation are my favourites. The others are quite good but don't "quite" measure up in my opinion. To Jen's question about theme music, yes they kept the same theme music but made it more modern.
I watched this one, 2 and 4 in theaters. So much fun. The first one is especially good. If I remember correctly it was directed by Brian de Palma who also directed "The Untouchables". He is really a master of suspense through editing. Interesting to know is that Jim Phelps is the leader of the IMF team in the TV-Show and the leading character of the Mission Impossible show since Season 2. Making him the bad guy in this movie was quite a move.

So quick bit of history about mission impossible. Originally, Mission Impossible was a TV series from 1966 starring Peter Graves which is where the theme song originally came from. In fact, the character played by Jon Voight (Jim Phelps) was the main character from the original 1966 series!
21:36 Holden over here dropping A Pup Named Scooby Doo quotes!
Fun fact. The scene on the wires was filmed in the UK. Tom Cruise kept tilting forward slightly. So to keep him flat and level, they put a £1 coin in each of his shoes. It was just the right amount of additional weight in just the right place to keep him perfectly paralell to the floor.
I love both of your insights look forward to you watching the third one it’s my favorite one.
Hey Holden! Just wanted to help clarify something you pointed out - when we learn Jim is alive and he sits down with Ethan, we see Ethan piecing together what's going on and discovers Jim is the mole...but Jim doesn't know Ethan has figured it out. We get to see Ethan's thought process, but he's just playing along pretending to believe Jim that Kittredge is the mole. That's why Ethan talks about Job to Jim like it's a different person. Ethan doesn't want to let on that he knows the truth. It's actually one of my favorite scenes where the subtext adds some nice tension. Anyway, love your reactions and can't wait to continue the series with you guys!! 😁
Can't wait for this series!
Yeah, this first movie is the most spy twisty turny in its plot. I too was confused by the Ethan/Phelps scene when I was a kid, but have grown to LOVE it. You see Ethan putting all the pieces together in his head, but he is verbally saying the opposite so that he can keep the edge over Phelps. So confusing, but so brilliantly done!!!! While I love the later M:I films, this one is my personal favorite.
Always when this one is on tv 'I'll watch it . The first time I saw it in theatres, very exciting! Good one Jen about the knife, very observative Thank you guys for this reaction
It’s so funny you said the theme reminded you of the James Bond Theme. Back in 2008 in my sophomore year in high school, when Quantum of Solace came out, I took a girl to go watch it but I had never watched any 007 movies - not even the previous Casino Royale. To show her how excited I was, I sent her the theme song and was so pumped. She never said anything but I found out years later that I sent her the Mission Impossible theme instead. I think about that all the time.

If you had sent her the QoS theme she probably would never have spoken to you again.
Just wanted to answer Holden's little question : The "bullet train" they climb onto towards the end is the French "TGV" (stands for Train Grande Vitesse, litteraly translated : High Speed Train) and it goes up to 300 km/h (186 miles per hour) with passengers and 575 km/h (357 miles per hour) without anyone onboard. It's like a video game fast travel ability in France since every major city has a TGV station.
These movies get better as they make more of them. Great series.
21:36 Ever a man of culture, Holden. I live for your random references.

Some fun trivia, mission impossible was the very first property that Tom Cruise and his production company purchased. So they made this movie and he started it. They still own the property and likely always will. Also Jon Voight's character was the star of the mission impossible show in the 50s.
That Cowboy Bebop moment was spot on 😂
Geez Jen, if you rated this a 10 I can't wait to see what you think of these movies from Ghost Protocol on, because at that point every movie is high octane and high quality all the way through. Love all of these for various reasons, consistently entertaining and jaw-dropping
Really underappreciated instalment. Silly fun with great set pieces and great tension from DePalma
6:04 " Agent Hardman. " Gotta say it sounds like something coming straight out of an action parody movie 😁.
I remember my father watching the TV show when I was little. While I was too young to understand what was going on, I remembered the theme song, the _"this tape would self destruction in X-seconds"_ and that the main guy would always select a team of agents (often different) that might be best for that mission. When I saw this in theaters as a teen, I was disappointed, and even said to friends that I felt it was Tom Cruise wanting to do his James Bond thing, instead of making a movie about a team to try and solve the problem (often times by setting up someone else, so it couldn't be traced back to them).
OMG YOU GUYS ARE DOING MISSION IMPOSSIBLE?!? Yes!!!!!!!!! I’m…I’m very excited to see Jen’s reaction throughout this franchise
I had a VHS of this movie, and it was always in the helicopter jump part. I would put the movie just to see “red light! Green light!” 💥. To me, that jump from the helicopter back to the train was the coolest thing.
I remember watching the TV show back in the day. I have loved the Mission Impossible movie series . They keep getting better....enjoy
I love the Mission Impossible franchise! I feel like each one has its own flavour, never really relying too much on its predecessor.
The theme was written by a guy named Lalo Schifren for the original television series that premiered in 1966.
Fun movie fact, the White Widow in MI6: Fallout, is Max's daughter. She monologues about her mother briefly in that film.
If you notice the LACK of gunplay. They wanted to be true to the old TV show that never had guns in it. They only had one shot in the whole movie for a Tom Cruise action movie. The other movies are all JUST as fun. Hope you react to them all.......
Oh boy, you're in for a treat. Except for 2. 2 is the black sheep of the MI family. Its okay though (Great Soundtrack personally) but after 3 and especially 4, this franchise just kept getting bigger and better. Its rare these days to see that in a franchise for you to be able to say the next one was just as good or better than the last one.
The Mission Impossible Theme is the opening credits theme from the 1972 tv show that went on for 7 seasons.
Awesome reaction guys! I really hope the cornetto trilogy is on the horizon
Nice. A fantastic franchise. I was in Prague when they were shooting this, and couldn't wait to get back to see it. I love the noir/spy feel to this one, which is lost to an extent in the later movies to more action style, but they're all still good.
