your mission should you choose to accept
it is to bask in all the awesome welcome
to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
awesome Mission Impossible facts i
recharge my head I’m gonna die unless
you kill me what throw the switch on and
off with Mission Impossible rogue nation
opening in theaters in July 2015 we felt
it was an appropriate time to look back
and reflect on the franchise’s most
interesting and incredible details
I meant to catch up with obviously
awesomeness varies from person to person
but we believe we found the right
balance of facts to present to you about
the series you ready number 10 loyal
producer this is Ethan Hunt they’re dead
there is being dedicated and then
there’s being positively attached as it
happens Tom Cruise seems to subscribe to
the latter after all he’s been a
producer on every Mission Impossible
film since the original in 1996 what’s
your name
he’s not this may explain why the actor
has prioritized his role in these films
over other projects if you are invested
in the development of a series since its
inception you’d want to stay involved
and see your vision come to life to work
for an agency
it’s called of IMS
how does it seal for
impossible mission force oh shut up
number nine
a bullet saved not a bullet spent
sometimes it’s the little things that
catch our eye mission impossible being a
film franchise about espionage and Spy
vs spy action would naturally have some
degree of violence inherent to the
concept
yet a funny thing happened with the
first film none of the action involved
guns simple game there were no
firefights or shootouts and not once did
Tom Cruise’s character
Ethan Hunt use a gun we have to say we
weren’t expecting that but knowing this
detail makes the original films
widespread success all the more sweet a
meeting tomorrow in the TGV on road to
Paris tight security little guns replace
number 8 shuffling the schedule we’ve
never met before right Hollywood is
quite the competitive place even when
you aren’t seeking conflict when rogue
nation was initially announced it was
given a release date of December 25th
2015 all well and good except it would
be released against Star Wars The Force
awakens and Spectre the latest James
Bond film
not wanting that sort of competition the
distributor Paramount Pictures made the
call to move up rogue nations release to
July 31st of the same year it remains to
be seen if their decision will pay off
number seven whoops this tape will
self-destruct in five seconds there are
just some marketing choices that defy
conventional logic take the marketing
firm Mission Impossible 3 for example
the studio decided to promote the film
by rigging more than four thousand
random Los Angeles Times vending boxes
with audio devices which would play the
iconic theme when one of the boxes doors
was opened they knew we were coming man
they knew we were coming and the disc is
gone unfortunately some of the devices
became exposed and were reported as
bombs leading to police bomb squads
blasting several of the boxes and even
shutting down a Veterans Hospital
because of the potential threat
yikes I can understand you’re very upset
Kittridge you’ve never seen me very
upset number six return of the syndicate
the syndicate has a finger in every
other legitimate business call backs can
be a loving tip of the hat to the past
and this is no different there are two
things the syndicate won’t allow even
from its boss rogue nation is pitting
Ethan Hunt and the assembled impossible
missions force against the villainous
syndicate which just so happens to have
been a key antagonistic organization
from the 1966 TV show I’m just worried
about getting out the cinah gets never
been known to kill a woman there’s
always a first time this time around the
syndicate is being played up as
intentionally opposed to the IMF and
more aggressive in their methods we’re
certainly interested to see how that
dynamic will play out on the silver
screen Ethan where are you The Syndicate
is real
nation trained to do what we do number
five a few familiar faces
you’re kidding yourselves we know that
Tom Cruise has been a part of the films
since the start but how about other
actors well well well
now if it isn’t mr. those who can’t do
teach back in the field
for the most part no actor or actress
besides Cruise has reprised their role
for all five of the films save for one
Ving Rhames the same funny as Ethan
hunts loyal ally and hacking specialist
Luther stickell rains has appeared in
every Mission Impossible film to date
even if it’s only for a brief cameo I
know I’ll see you Kandahar
number four expensive first effort first
time projects can be quite the
undertaking yet it comes as a surprise
that mission impossible 3 the directing
debut of JJ Abrams would stand out from
the bunch oh nothing that was reports
state that the 2006 film cost a total of
one hundred and fifty million dollars to
make meaning it was the most expensive
film made by a first-time director to
that point so whenever I see like a
rogue organization willing to spend this
amount of money on a mystery tech I
always assume it’s the anti-god Abrams
didn’t cease his involvement in the
franchise after three however he has a
producing credit on ghost Protocol as
well as rogue nation
number three kind of close for comfort
give a hand to mr. Cruz he’s certainly
enthusiastic in the climactic fight
scene of Mission Impossible to Ethan
Hunt and Dougray Scott scare achter
Shawn Ambrose battle on a beach
the fight takes a turn when Ambrose
pulls a knife and pushes in on Hunt’s
eye during production crews apparently
wanted authenticity he asked that a real
life be used that it be hung from a wire
exactly 1/4 inch from his eye and that
Scott used as much force as possible
that’s a lot of risk but the result
speaks for itself
number two hanging by a thread
talk about an odd thing to become a
running gag in every Mission Impossible
film to date there has been a scene
where one of the characters hangs from a
cable while breaking into a location the
most amusing variant might be Tom
Cruise’s cable descent sequence from the
original film it’s a tense and engaging
scene on its own but it becomes funnier
with the knowledge that crews had coins
in his shoes apparently he was so
unbalanced on the cord that his head
kept hitting the floor requiring
counterweight to properly perform the
scene before we unveil our number one
pick here are a few honorable mentions
is that right miss Hall hmm oh
absolutely
much much too long I’d say
is that sound familiar
what is she not by the way any idea I
don’t know
not exactly number one stunt master
general is he serious
oh wait Tom Cruise is not shy about his
work he’s always been keen on doing his
own stunts to the point of risking six
injuries during rogue nations production
you’re worried about me why
both he and co-star Simon Pegg handled
their own driving stunts during shooting
specialist without equal immune to any
countermeasures and that scene in which
Ethan Hunt climbs outside of a plane
who’s elected to perform the sequence
without special effects or a stunt
double requiring him to be suspended
5,000 feet in the air
courage isn’t a good enough word for
that
door yeah I’m trying
all right
