Tom Cruise is still running right now
Yeah, running to greatness!!! 🏃♂️
Thats...IMPOSSIBLE.
You can't catch me gay thoughts 😂
(Fam guy)
@@-M0LE I can't 🚫 🤣🤣🤣
Basically he runs in one movie, then he runs into another movie.
Little ms “is it bed time yet”
Mr and Mrs “YES”
🤣I cried hahaha
the real mission impossible is getting that one to go to sleep
The real glory of this movie is the hidden-in-plain-sight aspect, but Ms. is always so perceptive she got much of it the first time around. Smart cookie that one.
I was surprised she didnt notice the knife though, i was sure she would catch it so i was a little disappointed
@@maniac50ae14She picked Voight as the bad guy immediately though :) lol
@@maniac50ae14 if you watch Holden Hardman and his wife Jen picked up on it lol
@@CrazeeAdam Jen suspects everyone 😂
@@-M0LE 😆 yes I know. Pretty funny sometimes. Especially in spy movies. You gotta suspect people though.
I love Kittridge. He's such a smart ass. "What should we do Barnes? Put a guy at the airport?" It's probably my favourite line from the movie.
Kittridge has some banger lines, and Henry Czerny's delivery was perfect.
"Good morning, Mr. Phelps."
Summer of 1996 was great. I addition to this there was Twister, Independence Day, The Rock, Nutty Professor, Eraser, Courage Under Fire, A Time to Kill, Striptease, Tin Cup, Phenomenon, Cable Guy, Dragonheart, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Kingpin, Escape From L.A., and The Frighteners. I paid to see every single one of those in theaters. I practically lived at the theater. I saw Mission Impossible about 4 times! Can you imagine that many films coming out during a summer movie season these days? I absolutely HATE the fact that theatrical distribution is slowly going away and we're all just going to be watching everything at home. Part of the magic of the movies is that you have to sit in a room with a bunch of other people, and you have to be 100% dialed in. At home there are too many distractions and the experience is just completely different. It makes me sad.
The Frighteners is one of my favorite 90s movies. So damn good and fun to watch.
I think that was the Year i was 36 times in Cinema!(36 Movies) :)
They said cinema will die when TV came in the 50s. It did not die back then. Nor will it this time.
Whether cinema dies or not there are too many a-holes on the planet to ever set foot in a theater again. I'd rather watch every movie on my phone instead.
Every year of the 90s had excellent movies to see on the summer break. 1997 was also a great year.
"Your mission, should you choose to accept it..." is taken directly from the 1960's and 70's TV show and was spoken in the beginning of every episode. So they couldn't exactly leave it out for the movie.
Yeah, but what would happen if you were just like "nah."
Peter Graves from the tv series would never have betrayed his country.
If y'all are doing all of them, please don't be put off by the second one and stop. I promise literally every other one is an absolute blast!
After doing a full rewatch recently, I stand by 1 > 5 > 6 > 4 > 3 > 2
Second isn't that bad, I'd argue the 3rd is the worst one.
@@cytorakdemon The second one isn't a bad movie it's just a bad mission impossible movie. As just an action movie it's pretty good
@@dbsagacious I'd agree with that, Woo's style does clash with the spy style.
Still, I'll take a jarring style over not friggen explaining anything because "the mystery box".
@@cytorakdemon rewatching the 3rd one. Its def better than the 2nd one. Its a solid MI movie. @nd one isnt bad it jsut came out in a odd 90s time with the whole slomo etc odd stuff. Still some cool action.
Even trashing Jim and having unrealistic stunts I still adore this film. The theme music kicking in at the end brings the hairs on the back of my neck up everytime.
You just want realistic stunts in movies? Cars that just go over speed bumps and jumping two stairs at a time running down the stairs? That's exciting!
@@jkhoover No I don't, I thought the stunt at the end looked believable which is enough for me as well as being cool. Just the sticklers that complained.
12:03 -first of all, Mrs. calls it w Voight; second, she is distracted while Ethan gums it up; third, the peanut gallery waltzes in…
😂😂😂😂😂😂
CAN'T WAIT FOR THE WHOLE SERIES!
This movie is bittersweet to me. As a kid growing up in the 70s and 80s I used to watch the TV show. So when I saw this movie and they killed off the the original team and made Jim Phelps a bad guy I was like "WTF". But now these movies have grown on me over the years.
One of the most underrated action movies of the 1990s
definitely underrated, as pretty mediocre reviews, all things considered.
I wouldn't call this an action film, it's a thriller
Tom cruise, Brian De Palma, Jean Reno, Emmanuel Béart and John Voight it was a great start.
Mission Impossible and The Man from U.N.C.L.E. were the big 60s TV shows for me as a kid!
I watched Mission Impossible as a kid during the 80's. Loved it a ton.
Your younglings are easily the star of the show. I loved the "is it bed time yet?" "well yes.. thats why you were in bed..." To be that young again that you think you can get away with such shenanigans :D
The Get Smart TV series was a total comedy. The best line for me was when agent 86 was replaced by agent 43. Agent 99 said, "You're worth two 43's 86!". He also had a shoe phone where the sole slid away and revealed a dial phone.
Too true Roger. I friggin loved Don Adams and Barbara Feldon. I would say you are spot on, but that would make this 56-year-old guy not have to say "missed it by that much". Thanks for the memories.
@@howiedavis2316I’m 44, and that’s always been my favorite line from the show too!
Man, the number of times I heard "This message will self-destruct" in Inspector Gadget...
Director: Let's USE CGI
Tom : I am CGI ( Cruise Going Insane)
This is the most consistent spy/ espionage franchise of all time. Small let down with MI: II but after that they just keep getting better. Jason Bourne Franchise is a close second, no disrespect to 007 James Bond. And yes the mask play a huge part throughout the entire franchise for better or worse.
(22:22) I love the thought of some janitor/cleaner, using his/her master key, to enter that room sometime late at night, when all others went home, to change the trash bag in that bin...
Two things that were iconic about the t.v. show, that I remember, was the masks and the way the intro theme song would show scenes of the current episode. The movies start doing the scene thing in the third one for sure, maybe the second, but I have not watched the second one enough to recall.
The MI TV series ran for 7 years starting in the mid 60s Then made a 2 season comeback in the 90s. Get Smart TV show was more a comedy that anything. Another popular secret agent TV show from back in the day was The Man From U.N.C.L.E. I remember having a Man from Uncle attache case as a kid. You pushed a button on the handle and it fired rubber or plastic bullets.
Frank Barnes was played by none other than Captain Dal Dye! Marine, Military advisor, actor, who's worked on Saving private Ryan, Band of brothers, and other military movies.
Yes, the mask thing was a big feature in the TV show. The team would have a 'faceman' ( the character would be some professional actor who apparently was good at voices too ) wear a mask, have some conversation with a bad guy ( let's call him Guy 1 ), posing as some other bad guy ( Guy 2 ), when the team was sure Guy 2 was away. Faceman would leave, then later Guy 2 returns. Guy 1 gets mad, accuses Guy 2 of double-crossing him, sometimes a shootout or murder happens. The team drives away during the confusion.
I was worried that this movie wouldn't be as good as the TV show but luckily my fears were unfounded. I've seen this film countless times since it was released.
Yea because a movie with an 80 million dollar budget would never be as good as a 50 year old tv show with a 200$ budget and shot on a potato camera.
Money isn't everything. The TV show was one of the greatest shows ever made. And at the time of this film's release,movie adaptations of TV shows were typically horrible.
@@John_Locke_108 lol it literally is everything when you’re talking about a franchise built on elaborate disguises and stunts.
@@willdallas53 Lol. Have you seen Battlefield Earth? All the money in the world doesn't equal a good movie.
I'm not even convinced the people behind this ever even saw the original.
My parents accidentally taped over most of my home videos from when I was a kid, so its nice that your daughter will be able to look back when she's grown up at all the times she walked in and interrupted Mom and Dad filming 😂
That IS Emilio Estevez, in an uncredited role...
So happy the misses loved this!! The Mission Impossible movies are great all the way through really. They fluctuate somewhat in quality but never dip too much below "great" and the best ones are amazing movies in general
the 4th one is the best one, looking forward to your reaction to that one.
Its crazy i used to not say anything when the little girl walked in, but now im cheering with the rest of the studio audience whenever she walks in lol
When I brought my wife to Prague I showed her the filming locations for this movie. They aren't hard to find. She loved it of course.
The CIA guy who's chasing Ethan the whole movie is played by Henry Czerny, and while he doesn't play a bad guy in *this* movie exactly, he does play a pretty awesome bad guy in "Clear and Present Danger". If you haven't watched that movie yet, you really should. It's a followup to "Hunt for Red October", so you should watch that one first if you haven't.
Some thoughts: nobody ever seems to get the "Foghorn" reference. "Senator" Cruise's bad accent is reminiscent of Foghorn Leghorn from the Warner Bros. cartoons. Also, the "trapeze" scene with Tom is a hommage to the 1964 film Topkapi which did it first.
It wouldn't be a you, me, and the movies video without a technical interruption! 😂
Ms. Movie has a keen eye! The 'Die Hard ' guy was Andreas Wisniewski, the one with the long hair, who was actually in Die Hard, as Karl's brother.
I just watched Get Smart with the family last night! Crazy timing. Can't wait to see the sequels. Thank you for the awesome reactions. Burn bright and shine on!
Kids are adorable at her age, In 10 years you'll wish she was a still a toddler.
There was no Ethan Hunt in the TV show. The lead was John Voight's character Jim Phelps played by Peter Graves.
The Get Smart TV show was definitely a parody, I remember it from my childhood. Jim Phelps in the TV series of Mission Impossible (not a bad guy) was played by the actor who was the pervy Captain in Airplane! (AKA Flying High). I vaguely remember they even played the Mission Impossible music for some of his scenes - the music, the mask thing and each week's mission being introduced by a self-destruct tape were all iconic (and much-parodied) elements of the original TV series
Get Smart was created by Mel Brooks and Buck Henry (though Mel stepped away after the first season) so it is definitely a parody!
Rumor has it: Ethan's uncle, being perp walked on the tv, played by Brian DePalma, the director.
I remember when this first came out. I was just getting into my interest in film so I'd search the TV guide for any behind the scenes shows I could find. Given what he does these days the water tank explosion seems almost quaint but they really hyped it up as one of the big set pieces. It's no Halo jump or holding your breath for several minutes but that is baby Tom Cruise having to run from 16 tons of water at the exact right moment since they could only do it once.
Totally forgot that not only did they bring Emilio's character on to die in the first 10 minutes, but also die in one of the strangest ways possible.
I really like that King Kong shirt the Mrs. is wearing. Very cool! -OG
Nice. I was in Prague when they were filming this and couldn't wait to get back to Canada to see it. I love this one, as it's more 'spycraft' than the later ones, which become straightup action movies. Now, from 3 on, they are, admittedly, great action movies... Still, this is my favourite.
Just to give you a heads up, "Get Smart" was in no way a serious TV show. The head villain was Doc from "The Love Boat", and a running gag was the cone of silence. It was a device they had to use to discuss secret information, but once it was lowered you could not hear each other. The "Get Smart" movie was "The Nude Bomb". More like "Austin Powers" or "Police Squad".
Mrs Movies should be a spy. She clocked the other agents in the restaurant just as quick as Ethan.
I still can't forget watching this movie in theaters with my Dad when I was 8. The TGV sequence alone blew my mind. But, having since watched the old M:I series as I got older, what's really cool is that 'Mr. Phelps' (played by Jon Voight) was the youthful protagonist in the original show, so fans of the TV series watching the movie would have been like 'Oh, there's no way Mr. Phelps would betray the IMF!'. Such clever writing.
Also, I completely agree with all the previous comments about M:I 2. I personally did not like it, but they certainly tried something radically different with director John Woo. Every movie after that has been excellent, with parts 5 and 6 being simply amazing action films!
I cannot wait for this video,I love this film. Except the part with the elevator. Thank you guys for being such a wonderful, inspiring, and kind people. I hope you both are doing well? ❤️🍻
Bear with M:I 2, it's the only bad one. Everything from 3 onward is legit top tier
But Ethan is a new character played by Tom Cruise. His equivalent in the tv show was actually Jim Phelps, the Jon Voight character. As Harvey Dent says, die the hero or live long enough to become the villain. Mrs Movies hacker name would something like siren (the Greek myth, not the thing that makes lots of noise) or mermaid maybe.
Something you see more with TV shows is that it takes awhile for a series to find it's footing, for the actors to get a real feel for their character and the writers to know what kind of story they're going to be telling, so with this movie series the 1st sets the foundation of what to expect going forward, the 2nd kind of drifts away a bit, on its own it's a good movie, but compared to the series it stands out(personally I feel like they were trying to also change the film to be more like an American James Bond type of movie), but by the 3rd they get back on track, stay true to what got them there, and each one from then on out is better than the previous one.
The gum on the windscreen and aquarium is so dope
People don’t like Jim being the bad guy but I assume the writers were trying to have the traitor be someone you wouldn’t have expected. Granted, I never really saw much of the original, so I could see that annoying old fans.
Her mind is always in the gutter because it's holding hands with his.
Awe, they're so cute.
The REAL Mission Impossibile is the daughter lol. As a father..i get it lol.
The TV show Get Smart was definitely a parody of Mission Impossible and similar spy shows/movies. When I was a kid in the 80s it was in syndication on Saturday mornings & I always used to watch it along with the Saturday morning cartoons every week. It was hilarious! Funnier than the movie IMO.
Funny you mentioned the long haired blonde henchman looking like a Die Hard Terrorist because he was, he played Tony, Karl's brother.
The Get Smart TV show was definitely a parody of the spy genre. It starred Don Adams, who was also the voice of Inspector Gadget.
gets out of bed to ask if it's bed time yet lmao! adorable
WOW good for Mrs spotting the second IMF team at the restaurant haha! although the reason everyone was looking at ethan at the party was because he was in-character as a "high profile" figure, the senator, but yeah the shifty eyes are a cool detail on top of that. Also nowadays yeah it's OBVIOUSLY jim lol but back when this came out, jon voigt was still mostly known for playing good-guys and his character in the TV show was actually the number one main character, always the loyal straight-shooting team leader. I never watched the show myself 'cause it was before my time, but that's what I've heard from folks who watched it before the movie. and yeeessss Luther is AWESOME. the script for him is such a stereotypical hacker, but you give that role to ving rhames??? he makes it PURE GOLD. amazing casting choice
As probably a bunch of people have already said, it IS Emilio Estevez (star of The Breakfast Club and more, Charlie Sheen's brother and Martin Sheen's son) in an uncredited role here. Supposedly, he was returning the favor to Tom Cruise who appeared uncredited in one of Emilio's films, Young Guns (1988).
Quite coincidentally/unfortunately during the 1988 Writers Strike (which at 153 days was, and hopefully always will be, the longest WGA strike) there was another Mission Impossible series created. This is the opening theme: ruclips.net/video/najnclm0F50/видео.html
Since reality TV wasn't really a thing back then and they needed new shows to put on the air they decided to use scripts from the 1960's Mission Impossible, update them a little and create a new show. It sticks in my mind because it was one of the first major American productions filmed in my home country of Australia. At the time it was like 20% cheaper to film here. The only person from the original who came back was Peter Graves as Jim Phelps. The rest of the cast were mostly locals except for Phil Morris who was the son of Greg Morris who played Barney Collier in the original series. I have fond memories of watching it as a kid. They did lean on the masks quite a bit. The updated theme may be my favourite version possibly because it was the first version I heard but i still love it. It's been years since I've seen them all. Like anything it has it's ups and downs but it's not too bad. You can see for yourself as all episodes are freely available on RUclips.
Get Smart was as much of a serious spy show as The Pink Panther was a serious crime movie lol.
FYI: "Mission: Impossible" lasted for a whopping 7 seasons from 1966 to 1973 consisting of 172 episodes. It would be cool to see reactions to, if not the whole series, the top ten best episodes.
9 seasons if you count the second series.
Get Smart (tv series) was a Mel Brooks production, spoof from the very beginning.
Wow I'd forgot how much real life tech has gone forward since the first movie.
Edit: I also forgot how just plain entertaining this was.
The "should you choose to accept it" is a holdover from the original series. A lot of details have been changed from the series to the movie franchise.
Peter Graves (The Mr. Phelps in the TV show) ABSOLUTELY REFUSED to be a part of the Movie (or even watch it) because they turned his Beloved Character into a Villian
And it wouldn't be a "You, Me and the Movies" without the little "Cameo Girl"! hehehe
In the TV show Jim Phelps was played by Peter Graves. He refused to reprise his role when he found out that he would be the bad guy. His fellow cast members weren't too pleased either with one going so far as to call it an abomination.
Get Smart was a very funny TV series. It was created by Mel Brooks and Buck Henry and starred Don Addams, the voice of Inspector Gadget.
Get Smart Tv show was cowritten by Frank Oz, aka Yoda. It was definitely a comedy. :)
don't think he was involved Buck Henry and Mel Brooks where the big name writers along with Leonard Stern
The reason the henchman looks like a Die Hard villain is because he WAS one. It’s Andreas Wisniewski who plays Tony, the first John kills and writes his ho-ho-ho message on. He also plays a villain in Timothy Daltons first Bond outing. Not bad going for a retired ballet dancer !
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.
It’s a little more interesting if you know going in that Jim Phelps is the main character from the tv show. I wish they got Peter Graves to reprise the role for the movie. Would have made his betrayal better and way less predictable.
Thus is 1996. John Voight is so much older than Emmanuel Beart that she is now his age then.
Original Get Smart is a parody, and Inspector Gadget is a loose cartoon adaption with Smarts actor voicing IG and a similar arch nemesis
So excited you guys are doing tis series!! Appreciate yall! You caught alot of the plain in sight clues and subtel hints ..even the waiter at the restuarant!! lol
Finally I know who sang the lyrics to the theme song... Hope the royalties were worth it🤣🤣
12:07 I wonder what happens when Ethen puts something with the gum, but then Ms Movies Jr interrupts the part in the movie.
29:20 ...."Are you prepared to sleep with the man's wife even though he's alive?" .....Hey, everything for the country, right?......
You know an elevator shaft overhead requires a refuge space of at least five and a half feet.
Just a random bit of trivia.
3:52 what the hell wuz that!! Scared the $hit outta me. Sounded like the mating call of some prehistoric bird!😂
amazing franchise that gets better and better with every film
Before we get into the movie ... No, no, no, there are already 6 in the series now, so the next 2 will be #'s 7 & 8 in the series:
1. Mission Impossible (1996)
2. Mission Impossible II (2000)
3. Mission Impossible III (2006)
4. Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol (2011)
5. Mission Impossible Rogue Nation (2015)
6. Mission Impossible Fallout (2018)
So, you better get to gettin' ...
Now, there were 7 seasons of the TV show, not 3, 2 with Desilu and 5 with Paramount, and went from 1966-1973, but there was no Ethan Hunt in the original series.
The 1st Spy movie or TV show was James Bond's Dr. No. Get Smart came was a Spy Movie/TV spoof and had 5 seasons from 1965-1970. Another really great series was Wild Wild West, which had 4 seasons from 1965-1969. Then, there was The Man From U.N.C.L.E., a 4 season British spy series from 1964-1968. Then, there was the show, I Spy (Robert Culp & Bill Cosby) which was on for 3 seasons from 1965 to 1968. There was also another British Spy TV show called, The Avengers, which enjoyed I believe 7 seasons from 1961-1969 (skipped a year twice in its run). Finally, though there were others of lesser importance, there was The Saint (Roger Moore) which ran for 6 seasons across 8 years, 1962-1969.
All of these shows were really very good, especially for the times.
"He looks like a Die Hard terrorist." The actor actually was in Die Hard as one of the terrorists.
Yeah, Luther was my favorite after Ethan as well. Oh and "Get Smart" the TV series was also a comedic parody.
I'm well aware that the hanging just above the floor is an iconic scene, but all they had to do was hit the guy with a knockout dart and could download the data at their leisure.
Good movie! I especially liked the disguises , courtesy of makeup and sfx master Rob Bottin.
The Mi theme on the recorder was awesome! 😂🤣😂
An appearence by Ser Theodore of Bear is always welcome! 🤣😂🤣😊
" I wonder what would happen if you did chew that?"did you ever see Scanners?😅
The degree to which this movie did Jim Phelps dirty really dampens my enjoyment of the whole series.
I've been watching this channel for a while and I still cannot understand how that hat and headphones combo work...
This was basically the last hurrah for legendary director Brian De Palma. After making films like Phantom of the Paradise, Obsession, Carrie, Dressed to Kill, Blow Out, Scarface, Body Double, Wise Guys, The Untouchables, and Carlito's Way, he never made another film after Mission: Impossible that was either critically or commercially successful.
The scene of the explosion forcing pushing Cruise/Hunt forward was generally mocked. An explosion pushes you forward instead of tossing fire and other bad stuff into your body?
It's easy to imagine Cruise, and other people working on these movies, to think "Can we make the action scenes more real?" So we end up with Cruise doing actual scenes in the movies following this one, which a regular human would not volunteer for.
Hey, YouMe! This franchise is based on the 1960s TV SERIES starring Peter Graves and its 1980s revival.
Both runs of the series were more about long cons by a small team of operatives such as the opening set piece and relied on the gimmick of wearing disguises and utilizing cool spy gadgets. The movies retain those elements but are more about white-knuckle stunts performed by Cruise himself!
The LALO SCHIFRIN score is one of TV's most iconic themes and never fails to set the electrifying pace!
What many people don't realize is that JON VOIGHT is playing JIM PHELPS, the team leader of the TV series played by PETER GRAVES in the '60s original and '80s reboot! That means the hero of the series turns into the villain of the movie! Graves was actually approached for a cameo but he didn't like the twist about his signature character and declined to participate.
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 which she betrayed by coming to Ethan's defense. Having her work in close proximity to a guy like Ethan, their September-May relationship was doomed from the get-go! Lol. The hot youngsters' mutual attraction was evident in the first scene!
The series is mostly consistently excellent and is one of the best action franchises ever made!
The first three films are products of their directors bearing their undeniable signatures. This was every inch a BRIAN DEPALMA film with POV shots, flashback sequences and low-angle vantage points.
DePalma was most definitely inspired by JULES DASSIN's heist films for the famous Langley caper scene. In both 1955's "RIFIFI" and 1964's "TOPKAPI", the intricate thefts are plotted out for the audience, executed in SCORELESS SILENCE, initiated from a ceiling ingress and nearly foiled with a slip.
38:23 May I suggest the film 'Hackers' from 1995. "Hack the planet!"
😂 No. Just no. Why would you want to subject her to that level of torture?
As you have ridden the chunnel, you must realize the massive errors in that scene.
1) the TGV is an electric train, powered by overhead wires which are strangely missing in the scene, likely because their presence would have made Phelps' escape by helicopter plan impossible - the helicopter's line would catch on the poles which suspend the wires in seconds.
2) The scene where Ethan has to avoid being crushed between 2 trains. - The Chunnel trains are in 2 separate tunnels (there is a 3rd service tunnel between them). Having two trains meet head-on at 300 km/h in a narrow tunnel would cause nasty pressure waves which would not be good for the trains, let alone anyone foolish enough to be hanging on the outside of it (or a helicopter which somehow made it in to the tunnel.
3) About that helicopter - Bell 500 helicopters have a rotor diameter of 8.33 metres. The chunnel diameter is 7.6 metres. I don't care how good a pilot Krierger is, that is like trying to stuff a 25 pound turkey into an easy-bake oven.
The 'should you choose to accept it' is all part of the plausible deniability song and dance. 'I never ordered them to do that' kind of thing.
In the original series. If you read between the lines. It's fairly obvious that the I.M.F. isn't actually a government agency but is in fact a group of private contractors called in by the government in situations that are too politically sensitive for the feds to engage in direct action.
The first and the best of the series.
The recorder version made me laugh so loud I woke the neighbours.
