I always use the line “I can neither confirm nor deny details of any operation without the secretary’s approval.” when someone asks me spoilers about a movie 🤣
44:00 To answer your question, he did get injured in the next mission impossible (Fallout) and they kept the shot in the film. He broke his ankle and production was shut down for 9 weeks.
Rogue Nation is fantastic, definitely my favorite in the franchise. Ilsa was such a great addition to this movie. The dynamic between her and Ethan was incredible!
Ah yes, finally! This syndicate story arc is really good, definitely ups the ante, and introduces some really good characters like Ilsa. Of course the stunts just get better and better.
The blu rays always have a special features disc that breaks down the makings of the big stunt set pieces. For the breath hold, Cruise spent several weeks training at the tank with free divers, learning how to do 4-5 minute breath holds. At the beginning, he can hold his breath for about 90 seconds (still better than most of us regular folks), but as it goes on, you see him get up to 3 and 4 and eventually 5.
Also Kate Winslet reportedly held her breath for seven minutes and 15 seconds on set for Avatar: The Way of Water. Some of the movie’s scenes were filmed underwater. It’s a remarkable feat; anyone (including professional freedivers) would acknowledge that a breath hold over seven minutes is extremely difficult.
@@julesb1970 let's also remember that here in this context, it would be very physically demanding, on top of being very stressful, that would drop the numbers quite significantly
@@julesb1970 oh don't worry, i know, i just wanted to point that breath holding times change a lot depending on what you are doing and sometimes, 3min is just as impressive as 6 or 7min
The thing with Ilsa's intents... I like how the movie keeps you guessing, like Jack Sparrows intents in the first 2 PotC movies... but with Ilsa she was between a rock and a hard place. Her intents were positive, but she also had to survive being used by both sides long enough to bring her intentions to fruition.
Well said. And that's why I prefer Rogue Nation to Dead Reckoning and Fallout. The next two movies dont give Ilsa nearly as much depth or intriguing. She almost becomes one of the girls as opposed to earning THE GIRL role in Ethans life
34:40 "I don't want to go down the watery butt-hole." That was probably... one of the best things I've ever heard on this channel. I had to pause and laugh for several minutes. That was so well said. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I"ve been watching this channel for the last 5 years. If I had just 50 cents for every time Steven said "This is intense!" I could take a Royal Caribbean Cruise for the next 3 years during peak season.
Every time they add a character (this time Rebecca Ferguson ) the series gets better. They do not just add to add but do it for the improvements we all love and Tom feels we deserve. This is a true passion project for him and we all love it! Thank you Mr Cruise. Now you mission is, should you choose to accept, to thank Nikki and Steven for picking this series. This message will NOT self destruct, but rather keep us as part of the Stikker Fam. Whoop!!
This is possibly my favourite if for no other reason than Rebecca Ferguson as Ilsa who is off the charts awesome! But then I still love the first one and the next one Fallout is amazing too. Basically this is top tier franchise that always delivers.
@@alienanxiety oh the next one I consider to be one of the best action movies of the last 10-15 years. It feels non-stop. The stunts are great and the fight scene pretty early in the movie is fantastic (trying to avoid spoilers)
@@alienanxiety Dead Reckoning is pretty great. I’ve only seen it once, but the stunts are great obviously. It’s a good mix of espionage from MI1 and Rogue Nation and the action of Fallout.
15:10 Fun fact: Benji is playing Halo 5 on his computer at work. Rogue Nation released and premiered in July of 2015. Halo 5 officially released in October later that year. So his character most likely got early access to the game using his skills or he somehow managed to make a deal with Microsoft to get his copy of the game and promote it briefly in the movie..
I love Nikki’s idea at the end, regarding whispering, holding your breath, etc. along with the characters in the movie. You should call it… method reacting.
The vinyl record player in the beginning of the movie pays homage to the original Mission: Impossible TV series back in the 70s. It was featured in the very first episode
Tom Cruise held his breath for (at most at a time) 6-minutes to film the underwater sequence. He held the record for actors doing such a thing until Kate Winslet beat the record in Avatar: The Way of Water, where she held her breath underwater for 7-minutes.
@@John_Locke_108 wow. Tell us you dont know how mocap works without telling us you dont know how mocap works. Yes, in Avatar 2, actors had to hold their breath underwater for the mocap scenes. Robin Williams was a voice actor in a recording booth, the images were drawings (not even cgi). Learn what's what... so you don't come across as a complete tard.
When tom and she get down the building on that rope she was screaming and cursing and when they where on the ground he said to her, welcome to mission 😂 it was the first scene they shoot together
Tom Cruise held his breath for 6 and a half minutes long for the movie back in 2015. He wanted to prove to his cast and crew that it was safe to do. So he proved it. Actors are allowed to hold their breath for 10 - 15 seconds max while filming scenes under water. Years later, Kate Winslet beat out his time with 7 min and 15 seconds while filming Avatar: The Way of Water (2022). This counts as a record-breaker cuz they are actors on-set. I haven't heard of another actor breaking her record on set. It's crazy either way. Mad props to them.
Considering someone already answered your question about the record for holding their breath, a fun fact, Kate Winslet held her breath for 7 minutes and 15 seconds under water for her role in Avatar The Way of Water Also, as for the stunts, Tom Cruise strongly believes in the thrill for the audience of being able to see the actor's face during situations you normally wouldn't
3 and 5 are still my favorites. Philip Seymour Hoffman remains the best villain in the series and the scenes between him and Tom Cruise remains the best acting of the series.
Fact you guys: Kate Winslet held her breath for 7 mins and 15 seconds during her training for Avatar 2 beating Toms record which is 6 mins and 30 seconds.
“Mr. Lane, meet the IMF!” Maybe my favorite part of the movie. They basically gave him the, “ You didn’t know who you was f-ing with, did you?” boss stare!😁
31:35 Fun fact, that scene was filmed with NO CGI at all. If you look carefully, how they filmed it was impressive. So the man that's helping Simon Pegg put on the mask is Tom Cruise's double, notice how his face isn't in the camera shot. As it rotates, you see Rebecca Ferguson standing and watching. You can see her reflection in the mirror in the movie but that is her double standing back to back behind the wall. The camera then finishes rotating and you see Tom Cruise in the shot. At 31:39 The real actor that plays the agent that Benji impersonates with the mask is sitting there with the real Tom Cruise. So the camera ends up being behind Simon Pegg's shoulder where it looks like Ethan is helping Benji adjust the mask when in the "mirror reflection" the real actor and Tom Cruise are copying what Simon Pegg and Tom's double are doing. A little bit of camera trickery there and voila, a scene that required no CGI in post-production.
I love Nikki,s reactions to the heights scenes. Awesome work. She makes me laugh. Thanks for another great reaction video. Keep up the excellent work. So glad I came across your channel about 5 months ago. Hello from Pa USA 🇺🇸.
Believe it or not, the world record for breath holding is 24 minutes and 17 seconds held by professional diver Budimir Šobat! Absolutely crazy, but true!
Great reaction, like always this one is one of my favourites MI movies they keep getting better and better and the airplane stunt that Cruise performed himself, without any stunt double or special effects, had him suspended on the aircraft 5000 feet in the air at times. And to capture this scene, a wind-resistant custom frame for the camera was built and mounted onto the wing of the plane. Another problem was keeping Cruise's eyes open in the presence of hard air. So his eye specialist designed a special lens which could cover the entire eyeball. It took eight takes for the stunt to be filmed! This is the only Mission: Impossible film till date where the main villain is not killed off. Keep up the amazing work. You guys are gonna love the next one its EPIC.
First, with the motorcycle chase, for every take, they basically walked the whole of the road and made sure there was nothing on it, no debris or anything... don't want a wheel to throw a rock, even a pebble, at Tom Cruise at 90 mph. Secondly, Tom was talking to another actor, talked about the Burj building climb, telling the stunt coordinator "This is what I want to do" and they said, "No, there is no way I can let you try that." The other actor asked, "What did you do?" "I found a new stunt coordinator." So, yes, you cannot tell Cruise no about a stunt, just make it as safe as you can.
Funny story, in regards to how does Tom Cruise do his stunts. Matt Damon said in an interview/panel discussion that he asked Tom how he does these stunts. And Tom told him that when they conceived of a stunt once, they brought it to their stunt guy (the person who signs off on it), and when they guy said no, Tom fired him went looking for another stunt guy. Matt Damon's response was that when the stunt guy says no, he doesn't do it. From there everyone in the room had a good laugh over it.
Don't know if anyone has mentioned this yet but the scene at 31:34 where Benji puts on the mask in the mirror is actually a one-shot filmed using some clever angles, choreography and body doubles, there's no CGI
I NEVER am left dissappinted (to date) with the MI movies. Say what ya will about Cruise personally BUT the man can and does make a hell of a movie, he truly is ALL in and the practicality he makes sure are done cs cgi really does make all the difference. And i am SO excited to watch these reactions by you two (well....ALL your reactions honestly lol) you both manage to truly enjoy but still analyze afterwards, and as ive said multiple times....Nikki is absolutely fabulous. The laugh is in infectious 😂😂 and the one liners...... And Steve gets so into the action and the humor but a different "flavor" from Nikki and the two of you are SO perfect for each other.....and for all of us 👍. Looking forward to the next.....no spoilers for ya but the Syndicate isnt done with Ethan yet (and Benji DOES get a mask 😉). Keep it up we are all here for ya 🤠
Always a pleasure, thank you for sharing. As forholding his breath: "For the said sequence in Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation, the actor actually had to undergo training to be able to hold his breath underwater for six minutes."
35:00 "Isn't there a nonmetal way to get him some oxygen?" Yes. A plastic bag filled with air, that is made of thick plastic. Only enough air for one breath. Fit it under his wet suit, and it's enough for one full breath.
Ethan Hunt hung out of the plane once. Tom Cruise did it 8 times. And while yes he did have a harness, he was holding on under his own strength. Apparently this is the only stunt where he was visibly nervous because a mistimed pigeon or pebble would kill him instantly.
Since you brought it up, Tom Cruise is well aware of his own mortality. In the current M:I, he jumps off a cliff on a motorcycle. In interviews about this latest film, Cruise himself stated that they did the jump on the first day of principal shooting, after working on it for months. The reason? If he died, he didn't want to have wasted months of shooting, if they were going to have to retool, or rewrite altogether, the film. So he did the most dangerous stunt first to get it out of the way. If he died, all that would have been wasted was the first shoot, and there'd be plenty of time to rewrite him out of the film. So he's aware of how dangerous this stuff is. But he's an adrenaline junkie. He also is fiercely dedicated to giving his audience the ultimate in entertainment - it's why he still insists on practical effects as well. He wants everything to be as real as possible. Obviously some things can't be and they have to be CGI. But if he can do it for real, he does it for real. This is also why he insures the films himself, that way an insurance company can't force him to not include a stunt in the film, or force him to use a stunt double to do it.
My aunt works for BMW and she was invited to the premiere of this movie in Vienna in the opera - she met Tom Cruise and Simon Pegg 😊 - also I very much love all these movies and been loving your reactions!
4:27-- Don't quote me, I'm completely making this up. SHOPGIRL Looking for anything in particular? ("Is THIS the guy?") ETHAN Something rare. ("I'm an agent.") SHOPGIRL Let me guess. Classical? ("Like the CIA?") ETHAN Jazz. ("Nope. IMF.") SHOPGIRL ("Password 1?") Sax? ETHAN ("Password 1.") Coltrane. SHOPGIRL ("Password 2?") Piano? ETHAN ("Password 2.") Monk. SHOPGIRL Shadow Wilson on bass.

Just finished watching. This is my favorite of all the film's thus far. The 1st one is my 2nd fave. I grew up watching at times the original Tv show, so when TC revived it into film form, I was giddy!😊 What I love about this one is that TC was like 52 yrs old when he made ( 53 when released if before July), so it's just a huge feat that he just pushes the limits in the movies he does. In watching him going up the steel pole- freaking handcuffed, using only his body strength, I was....like DAAAAAMN! He's the same age I am but I only wish I were in that kind of great shape lol! 😊 Ilsa/RF is basically the female Ethan Hunt, and I loved her addition to the group. 🎉🎉
I live just up the road from where they shot the plane sequence, but we get so many military planes in the sky that you just don't take any notice of them. Not even if a movie star is hanging off the side :) - he did multiple takes of that scene too. Say what you like about Cruise, but he puts everything he can on the screen and is so committed to making a great film.
After him doing all these crazy stunts without getting hurt, in the next film when he jumps from a building to another, so not actually that dangerous, he actually did break his ankle doing that stunt, and he actually kept it in the film so watch out for it 😊
Fun facts : The record for holding a breath underwater is 24 minutes. Freedivers and pearl divers do similar feats (around 11 minutes). When I was younger, the best I could do was five. The three secrets : 1. Hyperventilate. Overfill your blood with oxygen. 2. Exhale. Yes, exhale every so often. Because that O2 becomes CO2 and you don't want that recirculating. And 3. Condition yourself and fight the instinct to breathe. Your body is overfilled with O2. You're ok. Your body just wants to breathe because you do it everyday.
Just FYI many you tubers who react to the MI movies are vaguely aware or sometimes not at all that these movies are based on the nearly 60-year-old original TV series Mission Impossible. The opening fuse burning intro scenes originated with that show from 1966 to 1971. Of course, the mask making, and high-tech gadgets of that era would look very primitive next to today's vfx but for the era it was very impressive. If you get a chance, you two should check out a couple episodes from the original series one titled "The Train" and the other called "The Submarine" Otherwise great reaction you two.
34:20 To answer Steven’s question, the current world record for longest breath held is 24 minutes and 37 seconds by professional free diver Budimir Sobat.
Steven: "they are like, we'll keep the heights chill for this one..." Tom Cruise in MI Fallout: "ok, that's enough of a break from heights for you, buckle up!"
I think there are little hints throughout the series that support Ethan having a photographic memory. He's able to pick up new things really fast, he can quickly draw an accurate portrait, and he can perform complex math calculations, which helps in his ability to succeed at all his physical stunts. Even in the first movie, we see him remember all the faces of the secondary imf team when he's talking to Kitridge, even random faces in the background. So, I believe he could have memorized the numbers.
I love how Steven emphasized they were told 500 times that Tom Cruise does his own stunts 😂 I wasn’t one of those 500, but I’m so glad you know now. It makes it more intense. As you can tell from his “What the fk?!” Following that statement 😆

Title on RUclips is incorrect as Fallout. Rogue Nation title MI5 FELL OUT!! Red light! Green Light!
I get it! It's because today is the live for Fallout! Y'all take care of your subscribers and more!
But the fallout is that notifications will live on as Fallout...Will you change it? Steve: I don't think I will...
Also Steven wearing the shirt for his, I think, maybe least favorite horror movie? 🌫 on point! Don't Frank Darabont Inside...?
The girl being shot at the start really upset me it seems to dark for a mission impossible movie
I always use the line “I can neither confirm nor deny details of any operation without the secretary’s approval.” when someone asks me spoilers about a movie 🤣
And yes, Tom Cruise did in fact hang on the side of the plane. You can actually watch the footage that includes the harness in the shot.
and because he is tom cruise they did that stunt 10 times before he was satisfied with the result
I think he said in an Interview this was the stunt where he thought, what am I doing here 😅
The real Tom cruise doesn’t need a harness
No use in telling them
And he held his breath for like ten minutes to do that other scene. But Kate Winslet beat his time
“Ethan Hunt is living his last day as a free man”
Six months later…
🤣🤣🤣
44:00 To answer your question, he did get injured in the next mission impossible (Fallout) and they kept the shot in the film. He broke his ankle and production was shut down for 9 weeks.
This man's tricep is the real anchor of this channel. It's stood the test of time and abuse through so many reactions.

That was probably... one of the best things I've ever heard on this channel. I had to pause and laugh for several minutes. That was so well said. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I"ve been watching this channel for the last 5 years. If I had just 50 cents for every time Steven said "This is intense!" I could take a Royal Caribbean Cruise for the next 3 years during peak season.
Double it with Nikki's "Oh.... my God! /Hell , no!"
"Holy Sheeeet"
Imagine the money you'd get from "Bitch, no"

Every time she aggressively grabs his arm😂

Dead Reckoning being the GLARING exception to that rule.
@@smiffy68 what do you mean
For the breath holding scene, Tom was training to do it and was getting up to 5-6 minutes under water.
He used to hold the celeb record now Kate Winslet has it
Tom Cruise actually got to a point where he could hold his breath for nearly 6 minutes in preparation for the stunt
Ethan was bluffing when he said he memorized all the contents of the drive. Solomon had no choice but to take what he could get.
Tom Cruise trained his lungs to be able to hold his breath for a LONG time. He held his breath for SIX MINUTES on the set of Rogue Nation.
This is possibly my favourite if for no other reason than Rebecca Ferguson as Ilsa who is off the charts awesome! But then I still love the first one and the next one Fallout is amazing too. Basically this is top tier franchise that always delivers.
Ilsa Faust was a great addition this franchise.
This is definitely the most espionage MI movie since the first one. Definitely upper echelon in this series. One of the best.
Just a bit of a lackluster final action sequence. The one in the next film is insane.
@@alienanxiety oh the next one I consider to be one of the best action movies of the last 10-15 years. It feels non-stop. The stunts are great and the fight scene pretty early in the movie is fantastic (trying to avoid spoilers)

He doesn't do everything, but he does the main stuff. Like when he crashed on the bike, that wasn't him. But when you see his face, it's him.
Nikki's commentary are what makes re-watching these movies so much better.
Rebecca Ferguson was a great edition to the franchise
Tom trained himself with the help of deep-sea divers to hold his breath for 6 minutes.
31:35 Fun fact, that scene was filmed with NO CGI at all. If you look carefully, how they filmed it was impressive.

@@thedragonlee76imagine tryna suffocate him as an assassin with a pillow and he just holds his breath and play dead.
@@JamaicanjeffYT drowning would probably also have to be crossed off the list of methods, I’d imagine. 😂
I think he had mechanical assistance of some sort for that
Fun fact: Simon Pegg and Tom Cruise were having a prank war during the car chase 40:41
They kept turning on each others seat heater during takes. 😂
43:28 Wait til you see how they filmed the motorcycle scene in the next film. It looks really cool.
Safety Guy : It's too dangerous ! You can't do it !

This one is the best of the bunch. Very well written and very realistic.
Me, knowing Nikki is afraid of heights and knowing how this movie starts…..😈
Also Fallout having a certain scene that will trigger Nikki as well
Yes , well, it's mostly skyscrapers and say rock cliffs. Not often that people hang on side of an airplane...
The motorcycle chase wasn't actually that fast in real life, but Tom was definitely on a bike.
They were going 60-70 miles a hour
Director : Let's Use CGI
Tom : I am CGI ( Cruise Going Insane)
This is Rogue Nation, not Fallout, still a great reaction!
It was more like "will he Fallout of the airplane?"
@joshc2286 haha! Yes! 🛩
First, with the motorcycle chase, for every take, they basically walked the whole of the road and made sure there was nothing on it, no debris or anything... don't want a wheel to throw a rock, even a pebble, at Tom Cruise at 90 mph.
Secondly, Tom was talking to another actor, talked about the Burj building climb, telling the stunt coordinator "This is what I want to do" and they said, "No, there is no way I can let you try that." The other actor asked, "What did you do?" "I found a new stunt coordinator." So, yes, you cannot tell Cruise no about a stunt, just make it as safe as you can.
You guys should watch the behind scenes after every movie. You questions will be answered about the stunts
18:48 his emotion switches is priceless
For a second I thought I somehow missed their reaction to Rogue Nation😅
Same, thought I missed a week of life or something 😂
They did the live watch along for this last Saturday, and it posted today.
Funny story, in regards to how does Tom Cruise do his stunts. Matt Damon said in an interview/panel discussion that he asked Tom how he does these stunts. And Tom told him that when they conceived of a stunt once, they brought it to their stunt guy (the person who signs off on it), and when they guy said no, Tom fired him went looking for another stunt guy. Matt Damon's response was that when the stunt guy says no, he doesn't do it. From there everyone in the room had a good laugh over it.
Don't know if anyone has mentioned this yet but the scene at 31:34 where Benji puts on the mask in the mirror is actually a one-shot filmed using some clever angles, choreography and body doubles, there's no CGI
I NEVER am left dissappinted (to date) with the MI movies. Say what ya will about Cruise personally BUT the man can and does make a hell of a movie, he truly is ALL in and the practicality he makes sure are done cs cgi really does make all the difference.
And i am SO excited to watch these reactions by you two (well....ALL your reactions honestly lol) you both manage to truly enjoy but still analyze afterwards, and as ive said multiple times....Nikki is absolutely fabulous. The laugh is in infectious 😂😂 and the one liners......
And Steve gets so into the action and the humor but a different "flavor" from Nikki and the two of you are SO perfect for each other.....and for all of us 👍. Looking forward to the next.....no spoilers for ya but the Syndicate isnt done with Ethan yet (and Benji DOES get a mask 😉). Keep it up we are all here for ya 🤠
Always a pleasure, thank you for sharing. As forholding his breath: "For the said sequence in Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation, the actor actually had to undergo training to be able to hold his breath underwater for six minutes."
You gotta love Benji's optimism, he's so funny 🤣.
Love ❤ both of you guys tysm for all these
Ethan's "do I know you" is like a good version of the classic Indiana Jones thing of having banged and bailed
I love you guys. These movies are awesome but Steven and Nikki make it sooooo much batter.
The "like a glove" one killed me Nikki haha, so amazing to watch these with you guys!
6:32 -- Not only is he a great actor, he is one of VERY few actors to be more badass in real life than they are in the movies.
35:00 "Isn't there a nonmetal way to get him some oxygen?" Yes. A plastic bag filled with air, that is made of thick plastic. Only enough air for one breath. Fit it under his wet suit, and it's enough for one full breath.
Ethan Hunt hung out of the plane once. Tom Cruise did it 8 times. And while yes he did have a harness, he was holding on under his own strength. Apparently this is the only stunt where he was visibly nervous because a mistimed pigeon or pebble would kill him instantly.
This is still the BEST mission impossible! The new one is still amazing, but everything this film does is literally PERFECTLY!!!!!
Actually this was supposed to be Rogue Nation they were watching 😂.
@@thefirstbourne149oh 😅
Since you brought it up, Tom Cruise is well aware of his own mortality.
In the current M:I, he jumps off a cliff on a motorcycle. In interviews about this latest film, Cruise himself stated that they did the jump on the first day of principal shooting, after working on it for months. The reason? If he died, he didn't want to have wasted months of shooting, if they were going to have to retool, or rewrite altogether, the film. So he did the most dangerous stunt first to get it out of the way. If he died, all that would have been wasted was the first shoot, and there'd be plenty of time to rewrite him out of the film.
So he's aware of how dangerous this stuff is. But he's an adrenaline junkie. He also is fiercely dedicated to giving his audience the ultimate in entertainment - it's why he still insists on practical effects as well. He wants everything to be as real as possible. Obviously some things can't be and they have to be CGI. But if he can do it for real, he does it for real. This is also why he insures the films himself, that way an insurance company can't force him to not include a stunt in the film, or force him to use a stunt double to do it.
Great to watch this series with yall! Oh yea, and Scientologist don't have to pay to fly... it's science.
My aunt works for BMW and she was invited to the premiere of this movie in Vienna in the opera - she met Tom Cruise and Simon Pegg 😊 - also I very much love all these movies and been loving your reactions!

Rebecca Ferguson is the actress's name. a recommendation for Halloween month is, Doctor Sleep and she's great in it.
Another great reaction team 👏🏽 loving all these! Tom Cruise held his breath for 6 mins in order to train for this role 😮 thw guy is just unbelievable
Him: These action sequences are awesome!
Her: can we go back to watching Jaws? That was much less scary.
Just finished watching. This is my favorite of all the film's thus far. The 1st one is my 2nd fave. I grew up watching at times the original Tv show, so when TC revived it into film form, I was giddy!😊 What I love about this one is that TC was like 52 yrs old when he made ( 53 when released if before July), so it's just a huge feat that he just pushes the limits in the movies he does. In watching him going up the steel pole- freaking handcuffed, using only his body strength, I was....like DAAAAAMN! He's the same age I am but I only wish I were in that kind of great shape lol! 😊 Ilsa/RF is basically the female Ethan Hunt, and I loved her addition to the group. 🎉🎉
I laughed way too hard at the "I'm sorry! Is that 98 degrees?"
52:11 - Steven: I like the truth serum...
Nikki: Honestly...
Me: I see what you guys did there LOL
I live just up the road from where they shot the plane sequence, but we get so many military planes in the sky that you just don't take any notice of them. Not even if a movie star is hanging off the side :) - he did multiple takes of that scene too. Say what you like about Cruise, but he puts everything he can on the screen and is so committed to making a great film.
"Ethan Hunt is living his last day as a free man."
Next scene: SIX MONTHS LATER!! 🤦♂️🤣🤣
Of all his stunts. Tom Cruise making his way up that pole, upside down, handcuffed might be the most impressive 😂
After him doing all these crazy stunts without getting hurt, in the next film when he jumps from a building to another, so not actually that dangerous, he actually did break his ankle doing that stunt, and he actually kept it in the film so watch out for it 😊
Fun facts : The record for holding a breath underwater is 24 minutes. Freedivers and pearl divers do similar feats (around 11 minutes). When I was younger, the best I could do was five. The three secrets : 1. Hyperventilate. Overfill your blood with oxygen. 2. Exhale. Yes, exhale every so often. Because that O2 becomes CO2 and you don't want that recirculating. And 3. Condition yourself and fight the instinct to breathe. Your body is overfilled with O2. You're ok. Your body just wants to breathe because you do it everyday.
Just FYI many you tubers who react to the MI movies are vaguely aware or sometimes not at all that these movies are based on the nearly 60-year-old original TV series Mission Impossible. The opening fuse burning intro scenes originated with that show from 1966 to 1971. Of course, the mask making, and high-tech gadgets of that era would look very primitive next to today's vfx but for the era it was very impressive. If you get a chance, you two should check out a couple episodes from the original series one titled "The Train" and the other called "The Submarine" Otherwise great reaction you two.
34:20 To answer Steven’s question, the current world record for longest breath held is 24 minutes and 37 seconds by professional free diver Budimir Sobat.
I absolutely love this whole franchise and I'm glad you guys are reacting to them! My ranking from 1-5 is,

@34:40 "good job, babe." 🤭 perfect. hahahhah
Steven: "they are like, we'll keep the heights chill for this one..." Tom Cruise in MI Fallout: "ok, that's enough of a break from heights for you, buckle up!"

The best mission impossible movie hands down ! 👍🇺🇸🇮🇹
I think there are little hints throughout the series that support Ethan having a photographic memory. He's able to pick up new things really fast, he can quickly draw an accurate portrait, and he can perform complex math calculations, which helps in his ability to succeed at all his physical stunts. Even in the first movie, we see him remember all the faces of the secondary imf team when he's talking to Kitridge, even random faces in the background. So, I believe he could have memorized the numbers.
This is not the only movie where Tom’s character references Jazz with great knowledge of artists. Collateral.
"Hold on... is that 98 Degrees? Am I getting Punk'd?? It's not him, it's not Nick Lachey. Damn you Kutcher!"
Tom actually held the record for holding his breath until Kate Winslet beat it during filming the recent Avatar movie. Her time was over 7 minutes!
Actually the record is held by a Croatian, Budimir Šobat, who held his breath underwater for 24 minutes, 37 seconds.
@@James-ju1wb didn't know that. I was going by the behind the scenes of Avatar. Plus Tom called Kate and congratulated her.
Never seen a Kate Winslet movie to this day.
@@crashfan9997 ok
I love how Steven emphasized they were told 500 times that Tom Cruise does his own stunts 😂 I wasn’t one of those 500, but I’m so glad you know now. It makes it more intense. As you can tell from his “What the fk?!” Following that statement 😆
