He’s the first actor to have done it on camera.

Yeah, no. Patrick Swayze did his own aerial scenes for Point Break and dumping below 2 grand...I know several guys who do it, all of them are high time jumpers, and you have to be Johnny-on-the-spot with any malfunctions.

Good bit of Scientology/ movie studio promo material though.

I keep hearing how good MI is, and as for the skydiving? I mean, it is pretty cool for Cruise to do it himself.

He's cemented his role as my second favorite Cruise, just a hair behind Carter.

Thinking about it, he may be the first actor to do the altitude (above 15k) on camera, but not his own scenes. I saw one website state that Swayze had to stop jumping for insurance purposes and he was only allowed to film that one jump in PB. Problem is, that isn't true and he was still jumping as of '98.

 

[SpitfireV]

Wouldn't that be insurance purposes for that movie?

New Mission Impossible getting crazy good reviews....

Tom Cruise's new 'Mission: Impossible' is one of the series' best

In order to sneak into a Paris nightclub, Hunt performs a HALO jump (high-altitude, low-open), a move used by military personnel to infiltrate hostile areas. It means jumping from a plane at an altitude of 25,000 feet and not popping the chute until he’s under 2,000 feet. Why he does this rather than take a taxi is not logically defensible. But Cruise wanted to make that crazy jump, and he did it 106 times until they shot it exactly the way it needed to be. He’s the first actor to have done it on camera.

Got tickets for tomorrow at 4pm....HELL YEAH!

I really liked this one. It was hard to tell who was good or bad and who was on the right side of Freedom with Hunt!!! CIA, MI.6, IMF, nah dawg.....you gotta watch it to find out.......

 

[AWP]

Ethan only went into the IMF because of his older brother. Mike receives all of the attention and the IMF is Ethan's way of coping.

 

[SpitfireV]

That one was filmed here, in one of the better parts of the world (Queenstown).

Also, fucking expensive there.

Fantastic flick! Some twists that I didn't see coming ... it was fun.

 

[Ooh-Rah]

Tom Cruise may be nuts, but he sure as hell does a good job of being perceived as 'likable'.

 

[digrar]

10 years ago he was coming across as a rampant fuckwit, now he's coming across as a pretty reasonable dude. I bet his movies are doing a lot better now than then?

 

[Ooh-Rah]

continuing my temporary Tom Cruise man-crush. If you are a fan of the films, this is 30 minutes well spent. Dude has seeds....

 

[Deleted member 2517]

After seeing all this does anyone else want to see Tom do a no-shit SOF style war movie?

Ummm...hello?? Top Gun was his SOF opus!

 

[SaintKP]

Just get done watching Infinity War. Talk about some grade A bullshit. Also, fuck Quill.

 

[Ooh-Rah]

I've been waiting for Batman Dark Night (with Heath Ledger as the Joker) to hit Netflix. Finally watchable this weekend....just and FYI.

'Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade' is on Amazon Prime. It's an animated film (1999) that takes place during the reconstruction era of a German occupied Japan. The film's story revolves around a fierce counter insurgency, bomb running girls, and political intrigue between the forces charged with keeping the peace. It's a slow burn thriller, if that makes any sense, with music composed by Yokko Kanno. Think animated 'Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy' had a baby with the Grimm's 'Little Red Riding Hood'.

Love the lines and allusion's to, 'Wolves disguised as men' and 'Some find comfort as beasts, no matter how much pain it causes them'.

Aside from the beautiful animation the one thing that always stuck with me was the sewer scene with the girl. Great movie.
