How Tom Cruise Learned to Fly a Helicopter Stunt for Mission: Impossible - Fallout | WIRED

[@c2ashman]

Tom Cruise.....really the last true action hero that survived the 90's. We have no real action heroes anymore...except this guy.

[@LC_JSE]

c2ashman *whispers* Jackie chan? But yes I agree he is insane for doing all of these stunts especially since he is getting older (still looks good though)

[@OdileOdile19]

Keanu Reeves

[@jackriver1999]

Tom Cruise is up there with Jackie Chan and Arnold Schwarzenegger as the greatest action movie stars in history.

[@jayphilipwilliams]

I think Dwayne Johnson is pretty great.

[@TileBitan]

@Telly Vin-a you mean plastic schwarzenegger? Yea he ate arnold a couple of years ago

[@MrGilRoland]

Plot twist: Ethan Hunt was trained to be an actor.

[@reub360]

Bruh. Tom Cruise is going to demand to fly a F-35 in the new Top Gun.

[@defyinghistory9807]

Watch them let him

[@TheBobes]

Well he has a license for flying commercial planes no? Shouldn't be *so* hard (for him) to learn how to fly a fighter jet.

[@sparrowlt]

they allready showed a teaser picture and it shows a SuperHornet

[@andrewpearce2562]

Super Hornet is way cooler than that fat, stub-winged F-35 anyway :D

[@sparrowlt]

absolutelly

[@MichaelJayValueInvesting]

It is incredible the amount of training that actors put in to be successful in each movie role.

[@yugioh887]

Too bad not every movie is successful.

[@paulllu9069]

Michael Jay - Value Investing ikr

[@notj5712]

Wrong. it's incredible how many of them just phone it it. Example, look at Megan Fox holds a wrench or paints a motorcycle. lol.

[@matthewk2501]

Michael Jay - Value Investing Its all worth it! Tom Cruise does get paid $50 million dollars a year! Which is $4,166,000 a month, $1,041,500 a day

[@parabalani]

Tom Cruise does that the most out of all actors

[@MrMike11233]

He's being well compensated, of course, but all I kept thinking during this video was, "He's doing this - all of this - to give us an entertaining film." You're damned right I'm going to see it. It's the least I can do.

[@farhanjamli3676]

same thinking ma..like mofo went all that trouble risking his fuckin life yeeseh..its the least I would do

[@steffenfrost995]

Dude he also is picking the stunts that are most entertaining and challenging for him - it's a great situation he has created for himself and not so selfless as your comment implies...

[@Ironclad6661]

You mean like how he broke his ankle during the jump scene and then proceeded to run through the scene with a fractured foot to make sure they got the shot instead of turtling up like most normal humans. Give credit where it's due.

[@kingjames4886]

he gets the chance to do things that most people would never be able to... and gets payed for it.

[@SheetHorizon21]

@@kingjames4886 thats the thing right, he would save allot of time and remove any risk if he followed what every other movie does and use CGI. He doesn't have to put his mind and body through daunting tasks just to give the scene a bit more authenticity and yeah thats the one of the main reason I and most people go to watch his movies, the fact that we believe everything happening is as authentic has humanly possible, especially in todays era of everything cgi.

[@aidanrogers4438]

Saw this today, great film, great cast and great stunts. Mission: Impossible has fast become one of my favourite action series.

[@starsliferecipe5560]

I watched the film today , the helicopter seen is unbelievable , u all should watch it yourself

[@ImTheJoker4u]

Scene*

[@Mickza1991]

Thats amazing!!!!

[@techh9171]

Yes its amazing and also the scene in the bathroom that hand to hand combat the old school fighting style is awsome

[@muhammadalial8640]

stars life recipe , yea… i watched it too today on Cinema XXI in Medan-Indonesia. So incredible manuever, spectaculer actions.

[@markhawkes3536]

Watched it yesterday, a great film, the best so far I will go and see it again, well done Tom Cruise.

[@bfgtech48]

Tom Cruise really is the man!

[@ashwinshrinivas1146]

Jackie and tom are the real stunt masters in the Hollywood industry!

[@TeddyLeppard]

Cruise is a one-of-a-kind. Totally dedicated to every movie he makes.

[@strongdan1]

Tom make some Hollywood stars look like Harry Potter

[@cardinalrule6810]

Harry Potter's pretty badass...

[@MrMDavies007]

Yeah, too right. Especially that Daniel Radcliffe.

[@Calum643]

What does this even mean

[@kernowarty]

What? Cruise makes some Hollywood stars look like a wizard who can do a lot of cool magic spells then?

[@RoadToTheCup]

LMAO, that was too funny.

[@SirDeanosity]

Great response by the pilot in the left seat to "was that my mistake?"....."no thats' just you learning." LOL.

[@stevegovea1]

people forget Tom Cruise flys jets...he once flown inverted over a mig fighter jet

[@mnr497]

He actually does fly a fighter, though. He owns & flies a P-51 Mustang.

[@grimzler]

The dud can do anything, hes a real life spy.

[@Ash-np4pd]

Tom Cruise is a legend !!

[@ScoutCrafter]

Like him or hate him Tom always gives 110% on every movie... You have to respect that...

[@priyanshkumar4235]

This Man inspires me everyday. The one and only TOM CRUISE

[@santoshp.s.s.2708]

Oh my god no way....I just saw the film like 2 hours ago and I can’t believe this was real! INCREDIBLE 👍🙌🙌🙌🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

[@javieranez2194]

Tom Cruise is pretty badass. He has his regular drivers license which most of us have, motorcycle license which fewer but still a lot of people have, pilot license which fewer people have, skydiving license which even fewer people have and finally a helicopter license that just completes the badass package. Does anyone know if he holds any other type of license?? (please dont comment ''scientology license'' lol)

[@snehanagar4796]

😂😂😂

[@BenSpies19]

And yet haters still find pathetic reasons to hate 😑.....so sad

[@supermari246]

as an actor Love him but as a person i dislike him

[@NaijaCINE]

And it doesn't matter

[@pudgebl67]

Not a fan of his as a person, but give him props for his dedication as an actor. You can see the dedication and training he went through.

[@Anonymous-or4ru]

Couches hate him

[@RealNotallGaming]

@@supermari246 you dislike him as a person......why? :D list pls

[@Bartisoft]

Hats off to Mr. Cruise !!

[@flexicution2323]

but im not wearing one

[@vekashs7770]

Movie promotion for a anyway awesome movie😁

[@wizardmoney8656]

Great job on being early mate

[@vekashs7770]

Wizard Money thanks mate

[@vekashs7770]

Really?

[@trentbosnic]

Watched this yesterday and it’s an amazing film. I have ridiculous respect for Tom Cruise and his dedication to his films.

[@jessbragg1]

3:59 this explains why tom cruise is able to hang off the worlds tallest building or fly without getting nervous, he is already flying high above most of us and even surpassing a lot of other actors net worth wise :)

[@MithunOnTheNet]

Just saw Fallout today and what a movie! The stunt are incredible! Tom Cruise... you are mad for doing these dangerous stunts for us but hats off to your guts!

[@felixcat9318]

To have trained to the degree that the Helicopter Instructor Pilot, the Insurance Underwriters and the FAA cleared Mr. Cruise to be allowed to fly this profile as the Pilot Flying is testimony to his absolute Professionalism and dedication to getting it absolutely right for the Director, fans and audiences! This is the true measure of a Professional Helicopter Pilot!

[@MrVara411]

2018 -- 1:00 "But this (flying helicopters) is extreme, even for him." 2019 -- Tom Cruise flies fighter jets in canyons.

[@lordspaghetti2107]

2 years later and I'm proud to say, my step dad cleans Tom Cruse's helicopter😌

[@Indyjonesfan]

This is why watching every Mission Impossible is an event for me. TOM MF CRUISE baby!

[@lmj9517]

Tom Cruise Mission Impossible Fallout ❤️😅❤️😅❤️😅❤️

[@fmo1868]

Mission impossible fallout is such an awesome movie, I'm going to watch it twice so I can see the stunts again!

[@victortorres8073]

Say what u want about Tom and his personal life, but you have to respect his craft.

[@rimurutempest4945]

I’m waiting for Tom Cruise to be in a film where his character goes to space, then Tom does it for real.

[@observantmagic4156]

I think they are actually planning one

[@Vlaid65]

That was impressive. Kudos to Tom Cruise.

[@Angelub]

He's so cool.

[@claudiaivy104]

He is a bloody hero.

[@whatsuplocs2813]

That is dedication!

[@bearlemley]

That is the first movie, in a series of movies where the last one was better than all the previous episodes.

[@BrilliantDesignOnline]

Excellent. He has skills. Nearly rolled the BSiaLPC on TopGear, but nicely recovered; Was a fun show with Cameron Diaz who can drive, too :-)

[@bigwu100]

yes i liked nite and day also. as of late TC's movie have really improved, the man has charactor which comes with age sometimes. and it shows on screen. Ms. Diaz did a good job on that movie as well. she seems to be good in action type films suits her body type, athletic and smart.

[@brochachoiii6657]

Cruise is a legend

[@lolol1725]

I mean he’s Tom Cruise, someone just said “hey learn to fly this.” He probably got paid to learn too!

[@SilverMustang920]

Watching several helicopter crashes on KZbin, makes it even more crazy.

[@TheMijahvi]

if im not mistaken in 2011 he already able to fly a loop, but not on his own

[@flashesofblack4128]

I am a rock drummer. Sometimes I think that playing the drumkit likens to a helicopter pilot. A drummer uses all his limbs at the same time with each one playing a different rhythm. A helicopter pilot also uses each limb at the controls doing different movements to fly the aircraft.

[@bobcharlotte8724]

The movie was incredible and breath-taking so I may have not noticed but that last shot in this, with the truck jack knifing towards Tom....waaaas that in the movie or no?

[@12.kharismacitra65]

That is how he brings magic to movies

[@tressil3607]

This is why I LOVE The MI movie series b/c Cruise does ALL of it...

[@seb250cr]

He's the best, he will be in space for the next movie. Not in front of a green wall , in space, for real ! No one else can be Tom Cruise .

[@TheGamingAddict445]

I got a mission impossible add

[@Half-Blood_Prince]

The gaming Addict Download the free add free KZbin

[@jjc5475]

addblock, although movie adds are actually fun.

[@techtical7079]

i went to see this movie on the first night it was out and i wasn't disappointed it was in my opinion the best action movie of the 20th century

[@SnazzBot]

So the big secret is he learnt by being taught.

[@notnotbacon]

No matter what you'll say there's always gonna be people that won't belive it was him flyling that heli

[@Tom-iw3zh]

He's definitely a high risk taker. Some feel he has guts. Some just think he is nuts (figuratively speaking because of the types of stunts that he does). I see him as a guy who likes to conquer things, like "fear"? Anyway, I love his Mission Impossible movies! The ones he did himself are the absolute best ones. Not just because of his stunts, but also they are just Grade A done. They are very exciting, very humorous, and he takes us to "James Bond" types of locations which always makes things far more interesting.

[@dodginclouds]

That is the kind of commitment to create a successful scene... Captain on an aircraft, Captain in life! Life is not a spectator sport...

[@CaptTerrific]

There better be an amazing shot that shows the cockpit, outside environment, and his actual face - otherwise this seems like quite a waste :) This will surely look much better than CGI, but CG can also be avoided by combining 1) Tom in cockpit with only sky in background, and 2) Double in cockpit with descent in background without his face. Seeing all of these combined will be SPECTACULAR! Far more impressive than any set piece your computer can draw!!

[@scottbarkley496]

Higgins2001 I just watched the movie Believe me. You'll feel as if you're flying that helicopter along with Cruise. TOM CRUISE = LEGEND

[@farhanjamli3676]

it did..man oh man it did

[@naveen.119]

Sarah Smith Amazing Movie,Tom cruise is truly a legend

[@repairitdontreplaceit]

epic film , he broke his leg doing one of the jumps too . legend

[@BeckVMH]

There are a number of other incredible action stars; however, Cruise seems to do it all and seems to be the entire package. Whether on the ground, in the air or in between, he appears he can do it all extremely well.

[@handsomehobo4727]

6 impossible mission completed, Tom cruise has been lying to us🤷🏻‍♂️

[@FrankHampton-t7m]

I love all the Mission Impossible movies

[@bwnwilliam465]

Cruise always makes good movies. One thing I know when go out to see TC movie is that I’ll be entertained and it’ll be good.

[@Hellman2746]

Christopher Nolan and Tom Cruise should do a film together. The amount of mind-blowing, universe collapsing, epic stunts in it will be mind-blowing, universe collapsing, epic stunts.

[@ableusermcz]

What an absolute Madman

[@andrewlavey6992]

But good with it!

[@elmirelmir842]

I think Tom took the word "acting" personally

[@darshansancheti24]

His dedication level 💯

[@andrekawarabejka8889]

Unfassbar der Mann! Leute die wissen wie instabil ein Helikopter im Flug ist und wie viel Zeit Es braucht einen Helm überhaupt in der Schwebe zu halten,..diese Leute ziehen ihren Hut vor dieser Leistung.

[@robertkielty5094]

Tom despises delegation.

[@Reconseal4050]

That stunt looks deadly dangerous! Piloting a stunt like that can cause the plane to stall in mid air 1:36

[@PhysicxAlmighty]

That was great to watch, thanks guys.

[@markjennings2315]

Tom did in fact overspeed the Main rotor and it had to have a strip down inspection.

[@myroadtours6147]

And that is why Tom Cruise makes the big bucks.

[@rodgermccutcheon8855]

many many people say the helicopter scenes were filmed in Norway, wrong !!!!! they were filmed in New Zealand. Most of the spectacular flying, including the spiral dive were done in New Zealand.

[@ann_0140]

American Version Of Jackie Chan -Bleacher Report

[@hinglemccringleberry9389]

Cruise may be a looney toon with his scientology, but dammit, if he isn't the most dedicated and badass actor I've ever seen

[@mdnormatnor5226]

the only one actor focus and commitment

[@russellthorburn9297]

The state of digital effects is such that I'm not sure I'd be able to tell whether Tom was flying or was digitally replaced. Still, well done Tom.

[@mago_8145]

I love Tom!

[@abdiahmed3465]

Tom looping that Red Bull helicopter brought me here

[@Geotubest]

What a dream life he leads. Amazing stunt. Will see the movie.

[@Goldwing1500rider]

Man! Wish I could join the class!! Looks challenging

[@gudduentertains]

As Tom is getting older or younger as he looks more handsome day by day, he is really pushing the stunts to a whole new level. No one in Hollywood comes close to this guy. That's what we call Legend.

[@MSaleh-vy8rr]

Next up. Tom Cruise is going to train hard to pilot a fighter jet for the Top Gun sequel. Tom Cruise the badass stuntman.

[@filipvabrousek6900]

The best movie in the history of cinematography!

[@woolfel]

I've known air force and helicopter pilots. Even for seasoned pilots, doing those kinds of maneuvers is serious.

[@akinoz]

Tom Cruise is absolute rocking guy

[@batchint]

the picture is a served ham roll with nose pointed etcetera (tern without the turnips)

[@stephenlozano2816]

Props to Tom Cruise. Impressive!

[@L3aRn2Th1nK]

This video left the most important bit of the whole helicopter stunt stuff out. Tom and his crew traveled to New Zealand to train with the pros! Kiwi blokes who do extreme flying for a living. Also, the heli chase was filmed there too so, I guess that was an important piece of information you left out there...

[@privatesector0422]

Tom Cruise is really Ethan Hunt.

[@123youtue1]

6:16 how was he supposed to dodge that!?!?

[@chrisjohn3948]

Jackie chan was just like this

[@chrisjohn3948]

felix y true Jackie Chan has almost die more than a few timea

[@gluxeo]

Chris John And Tom hasn’t?

[@SebaP1991]

Jackie Chan is a way beyond him, but Cruise is good too

[@chrisjohn3948]

Tony Cliffton but I mean when Jackie was popular helicopters weren’t involved like that but your right

[@reddecster]

Jackie did mention in an Ellen interview that in HK the film shoot would be like Lights, Camera, Cut! HOSPITAL...

[@howardmckenna]

He's a certified nutcase, but what an amazing life. Also, he's used to doing stunts in a heli. There is an older clip of him doing a full 360 loop in a heli.

[@yeyonge]

Well that's what top gun teach you

[@andujunior4756]

Well... the advert had the mission impossible 3 theme tune sooooo... that worked out well.

[@manassingha5705]

This man does everything.

[@cbcdesign001]

Some here say he's got the money and the time so.... Its not just about those two factors alone, you do actually have to have some talent too to learn to fly like that in just 3 months..

[@bobmar9239]

Now, do a story about how Cruz never ages.

[@anujb.6012]

Real life hero Tom Cruise . #best actor in the world.
