This is why the Mission: Impossible films are still amazing. Passion and dedication

[@jaypatel7426]

honestly I thought rogue nation was their best one yet and I thought the same about ghost protocol.

[@aftereffects00]

This is why this is the IM last episode

[@mitchellberndt6857]

I’ve enjoyed all off them sept for the third film that was shit but the rest are good

[@gordonramsay6286]

Jay Patel yeah unlike most movies that get worse and worse ratings as they go like alien,the expendables, rocky, Halloween, jaws, etc. it actually got better and better the newer it got.

[@MaheshWalatara]

Pity the stories are so mediocre- its all about the stunts.

So much respect to this man, he puts so much effort into his movie's.

i would break my ankle for millions too

[@qinyima5693]

The guys who talks non-human shits above clearly don't know what 'respect' and 'ignorance' are. That's why those kind of dumbasses don't have and dont deserve a single like.

[@roberthuttle]

Sure, he's not everyone's actor, but really...He ran off camera for the scene with a broken ankle. Damn man..One for the team for sure.👍

[@MrGilRoland]

My god at 3:10 when he gets up and starts running, my admiration for this man skyrocketed. In those conditions he thought: “I should finish this take anyway, maybe the director wants to use it”. From now on I will 100% sure when watching one of his movies that he is giving his 110% for my entertainment. Mad respect.

[@teresavalenziano9547]

Bravissimo eccezionale!!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️

[@nancyenright9562]

I've broken and dislocated my ankle and there was so way I could have gotten up and run on it as it was flopping to one side with part of the bone sticking out

[@stephenlim2972]

The man himself does his own stunts. That act in itself is admirable. Hope his ankle is healing well. Respect the Legend!!!

Holy cow..gets up immediately and wobble runs off. Thats tough for young guys..hes 50 yrs old! Gotta respect the toughness.

He has aged really fucking well. it's amazing, really. Can't stand him for anything other than his appearance and his movies. Lol

What a man, he broke his ankle and despite the pain (which I'm sure was intense) he continued to run. Much respect to Tom!

[@declangill5138]

My foot didn't go at THAT ankle but dude, when I broke my ankle it was painful

[@zackmont437]

At least he still committed to run off camera for the shot. Props to him.

[@TheRedRaven_]

You gotta have some balls to do the stunts that he does.

[@larssonk22]

Yep, that's why there is a whole profession dedicated to this art

[@womanlover555]

[@ethanp.6653]

Rohan Khot Jackie Chan jumped without any safe harness. When it comes to real stunts, Jackie is the legend

[@Dee-nonamnamrson8718]

Ethan P. Actually, that's a myth. Google it. Jackie does a lot of his own stunts, but he doesn't do all of them.

[@blaaaaaa2008]

nonam namrson actually jackie did all of his stunts when he was younger hence all the injuries he has but as he gets older he cant do certain stunts

[@victoriannecastle]

Ethan P. That’s in his early movies. He can’t afford a team for his safety harness. But when he got to Hollywood it all change

[@suicidalbanananana]

@@victoriannecastle Its not so much that he couldn't afford it (really its just a bunch of ropes and pulleys lol) its more about the people he worked with/the training he had himself means he didn't really need it, and he always points out how he can see when actors used wires. Reason they did use wires in the hollywood movies was because it was mostly a different crew with different standards, not because there suddenly was a budget for it where there wasnt one before.

[@Kment011]

Not a fan of TC, but I gotta give him respect for doing that stunt. Dude went full tilt, took some serious balls!

[@veronicajohnson4820]

Look up the Chanel "charisma on command" search up Tim cruise and it will explain in perfect detail

[@JohnnyCatFitz]

He has good morals, humility, and compassion. He did at one time in early life think he might become a priest or monk of some sort. He has a generous spirit and obviously tries to uplift others. The whole scientology dirty laundry and divorce was very unbecoming. But he has a heck of a life and never seems to take it for granted. If you could somehow delete the scientology he'd be perfect. Though he could be seen a a role model of sorts as is.

[@monke7152]

Bc of the near death experience stunts he does for a flim

[@JohnnyCatFitz]

He is a very personable man. Everyone that has worked with him tells how he remembers everyone's name, ect. Aside from the freaky religion ( which is partially a plus in making him compassionate) he's just a decent guy. He would have been without scientology.

[@vernaparkinson9858]

Because he is simply wonderful

[@lamargordon6017]

Whole new level of respect for Tom. The dude is dedicated to his craft.

[@sayakchoudhury9711]

People remember him mostly for his action movies these days, but they often forget that he is a great dramatic actor as well.

[@roan6125]

Tom better win a life time achievement award. He's such an amazing actor.

[@asad0810]

I love how much efforts Tom puts in his movies.

[@NomadFM]

I enjoy Tom Cruise's movie in recent years. Like American Made and The Edge of Tommorow. He's always smiling in the worst situation, just like in and out the movie. That's very inspiring because I can feel he is an awesome actor who dedicates to his career.

[@SimonLewis1986]

I love Tom Cruise. The stuff he puts himself through just to push the boundaries of movie stunt work is amazing.

I got dizziness as a reflex But this man puts all his body weight on a broken leg just to complete a shot/stunt .. He deserves every penny he is getting paid !!

"Do it again" 😂😅❤ the exitement in her voice

[@martyleyeti]

It's a shame Tom Cruise is in that scientology stupid Cult, because there is some awsomeness in him that is worth much more than a stupid cult. That guy is amazing. The Dubaï skycrapper stunt or the Boeing Take-off stunt were truely insane. And that guy is in his mid 50's ... he does things he didn't do at 20. He risks his ass for his movie passion and dedication. It's more than just acting. One must respect that. He's got a lot of credit for his stunt work and he desserves it fully

[@4dstellatedhypercube558]

Minus the kung fu tom cruise is basically the western Jackie chan

[@lexro]

FoodOrFail nope. As much as respect the guy, He doesn't do as much stunts as tom cruise.

[@lexro]

oh yeah no doubt about that keanu reeves is great with those. but then again it seems like you're basing this off the image keanu has in john wick and john wick 2. in my honest opinion when it comes to close quarter combat and driving skill, these two actors might have gone through about the same amount of training. so it's kind of a tie for me.

[@lexro]

FoodOrFail I've said what I had to say, I like them both as actors but honestly debating whether an actor is a good fighter in real life just seems pretty retarded to me.

[@lexro]

relax man. now you're taking this way too personally lol...

[@lexro]

that's why in Parkour & Freerunning when preforming a huge jump like that you're supposed to land or absorb the impact with both feet. but of course in hollywood, its just more "cinematic" if they jump swing both legs in the air and landing with one foot. anyways huge respect for the guy, and I can't wait to see the film.
