I’m ordering that Star Wars Hoth shirt Steven!!!! Such an awesome shirt dude!!!!!

[@youdontknowme9279]

the BOURNE MOVIES are based off books written in the 80s

[@Husky92223]

I always skipped the first 2 movies cause they told me they get good from 3 lol now i don't need to watch them anymore ahah

[@No_One_Important960]

MI:3 is the best in my opinion. Can't wait till you get there.

[@Husky92223]

@@No_One_Important960 Def the best villain, and def a good start to the franchise (at least, that's where i started)

[@theaikidoka]

The spikes that kill Jack are supposed to be distance gauges - they pop out and flex as the roof of the elevator makes contact. This tells the elevator control system how close to a hard surface it is and thus how much to brake. They have been overridden here so they stay rigid, they haven't been installed separately as a trap.

[@MrFrikkenfrakken]

A pleasure watching you all begin this series. Cruise really builds Ethan Hunt as a character and the other IMF crew are excellent. Enjoy!

[@reaps8807]

I wouldn't say they are beginning it. In order for them to continue on with the movies, they have to win the movie night polls. They aren't going to make executive decisions (yet) to watch them all. It's all up to those that can vote on the movie night polls to get them to continue on. So it's possible that we may not see reactions to the sequels for weeks or months. Everything depends on the movie night poll results. At least for now. It's possible that they may eventually like the movies to a point where they make an executive decision to finish them. I don't see that happening until maybe the third or fourth movie at the earliest. Plus they have to get through Mission Impossible 2, which is considered the worst Mission Impossible. I don't think MI2 is going to be the one where they are like "okay, we are going to finish them and spend the next five weeks reacting to them."

[@krayzy932]

@reaps8807 A lot of people will vote to continue the series.

[@MrFrikkenfrakken]

@@natecloe8535 I enjoyed the Reacher Movies with Cruise. Yeah nowhere near the novels description but he owns the role. Look at all the actors who portrayed Bond, each believable as a continuation of the same character.

[@reaps8807]

@@krayzy932, well, from what Steven said in a livestream, they’ll do 2 and 3 in an executive decision type of way. Then if they aren’t liking the movies, they’ll rely on the polls. But I just re-watched the third movie back on July 27th or 28th. I will be completely shocked if Nikki and Steven don’t like it. 2 might be iffy since it’s considered the worst, but it’ll be quite the shock if they don’t like 3.

[@jamesmeechan6983]

​​@@reaps8807it is only considered the the worst cause the sequels are considered better than the second one l loved the second one

[@billrapanault9471]

Guys with the exception of number 2….each films gets better than the last. Absolute favorite action franchise

[@bmw128racer]

Cracks me up that Nikki is worried about the fish, the rat, the luggage, etc... 🤣🤣🤣

[@CO6883-o3c]

This series is a consistent climb in quality. Just you wait 😎

[@reaps8807]

These movies remind me of the Fast & Furious. The Fast & Furious movies escalated in action and other stuff (being over the top) that when you watch the first Fast & Furious, it seems so simple and "small." Plus feels like a 100-minute introduction/prologue to the characters. The first movie feels so uneventful now. Same thing happened with Mission Impossible. They get so big that when you go back to the first movie, it's "small" and almost uneventful. Plus throw in the cast is kind of small too (for Fast & Furious and Mission Impossible). More characters get added as the movies go on and the cast gets bigger because new characters join the main cast.

[@SidPhoenix2211]

"Kittridge, you've never seen me very upset." is easily one of the best line deliveries of all time

[@JaaronBrice]

The Legendary Tom Cruise! 😎

[@joeschmalhofer6109]

The rat attack is expanded upon in the novel version of this movie. This message will self destruct in 5 seconds is from the 1960s TV series. Can't wait to see your reactions to the rest of the series.

[@Paul_Allaker8450]

This is one film franchise that just gets better with each instalment. So happy you've started this film series. Great reaction guys. 👊🏻 👏🏻👏🏻

[@alienanxiety]

Except Part 2. It’s subpar.

[@smiffy68]

​@@alienanxiety- "subpar" is the nicest thing you can say about that movie

[@RobTheWatcher]

I’d argue that 1 is a lot better than 2. Other than that I agree.

[@LaCheeserie]

Let’s not talk about the most recent one…

[@daltonio6001]

@@LaCheeserie The most recent one is the best one yet

[@Quixotic1018]

Someone on social media pointed out that Tom Cruise is now older than Jon Voight when this movie came out and I had to go sit down.

[@kev51281]

I must be going insane but I have strong memories of NIkki being excited every time she sees Benji in later films.

[@Rob_Infinity3]

This franchise is one of the few that gets progressively better as it goes on.

[@DasFlamboMan]

Growing up, my dad was very come and go in my life but one of the few things we shared was these movies. So excited to see you guys react to this ❤️

[@lenriew2892]

That action sequence of the helicopter in the tunnel exploding and Tom Cruise sailing through the air was the highlight reel of the '90s for this film

[@SpudBro1]

Once you get to the 3rd movie and up its becomes the best series of movies ever, just get passed the 2nd

[@BenSlashes]

Its already the best with the first two. Two is so fun. MI4 is my least favorite

[@reaps8807]

@@BenSlashes, I just re-watched MI2 recently (I want to say July 24th or 25th, maybe early morning on the 26th since I'm a night owl). The only fun I had watching it is the last 20 minutes. Everything before that is a snoozefest. Plus I don't like that the movie tries to turn Ethan Hunt into some action hero like I'm watching a Stallone or Arnold movie. Plus it REALLY seems off with knowing the direction they go in with the character in 3 thru 7. 2 just seems out of place. I did like the last 20 minutes or so of MI2, but at the same time, it was still off. As I'm having fun with that last 20 minutes, I'm still asking/saying at the same time "What is this? This isn't the Ethan Hunt I know. What I'm watching belongs in an action movie starring Stallone or Arnold."

[@michyn4959]

Agree!!!

[@Thrui]

Lol "Ooo, this seems fun" 20 seconds later : "Emilioooo, noooo"

[@brianlanders9457]

MI:2 is a little fast and furious ridiculous.. but man when you get to MI:3 its JJ Abrams and sooooooo good.. its where the series truly takes off... hope you react to all of them... great reaction guys...

[@daverowe03]

This is one of the first, best examples of "No body, no death".

[@supafun33]

The helicopter/train sequence is one of my favorite action sequences of all time. All the more impressive that they're not having much of a fight, mostly just hanging on for dear life.

[@Kickinthescience]

Tom Cruise stopped chasing Oscars and dedicated himself to one of the best and consistent action franchises ever

[@karenielsen4713]

The train sequence may have been topped in the later movies when it comes to reality. But it is still the most creative and fun MI sequence all these years later. And the music rocks!

[@Knightcowboy89]

Well now you gotta watch the whole franchise. No going back now. Lol

[@kevaunmitchell1316]

One of the best in the franchise and what a way to start from start to finish

56:39 He stabbed the rat with the knife. That's why he had it out.

[@andrewturnbull9218]

Can't wait for you to watch the rest of them , incredible franchise

[@RLKmedic0315]

I had honestly forgotten that Emilio Estevez was in this movie. He's such an underrated actor, but I've always liked him.

[@reaps8807]

When I was a kid, I thought it was him, but I wasn't 100% sure. I recalled a couple other actors at the time sort of looked and sounded like him. Plus I think I asked around (parents, my older sister, classmates, teachers, etc.) and people said it wasn't him and it was someone else (forgot the names they said).

[@hansmax3565]

Mission Impossible and Nikki and Steven reacts? Perfect match.

[@RW_CreativeMedia]

15:40 - Finally someone pointed out this publicly that his front teeth are not aligned with the center of her face, aside from the fact that they are slightly twisted. I first saw that in Top Gun (1986) and always wondered why with so many millions, he never spent some time and money to straighten his teeth.

[@randeecarreno4289]

Great reaction you two! 😊 This is one of my favorite Tom Cruise movies, and one of my favorite movie franchises. Since neither of you have seen very many Tom Cruise movies, I very highly recommend some of his earlier films: "The Outsiders" and "Risky Business" both from 1983, "Cocktail" and "Rain Man" both from 1988, and "The Color of Money" from 1986. Looking forward to the next reaction. 😊

[@jamesmeechan6983]

They should see the hustler before the colour of money

[@carriesmith742]

Nikki you would LOVE the Bourne movies! They were MY MOM'S favorites! She loved her fighting movies! Rest her soul. Her mother did too. My Nana. 😊 I remember her almost falling off the couch laughing at the Mr. Miyagi / Kreese "honk" scene in KK2! Steven, LOVE the shirt!

[@Nathanscottphilipps]

Fun fact- in Morse code m is dash dash and I is dot dot. So the theme song, dun dun dah dah , represents mi over & over.

[@declaneric]

Remember, this film set the bar for stunt work by Tom Cruise. He actually DID the stunt work on top of a 200 mph train. And it just escalated from there.

[@zvimur]

Fun fact. Jon Voight (Phelps) was 58 when MI1 came out. Cruise is 63 years old now!!

at the end of the movie they are on a highspeed train, running from London to France, a variation of this train set a Speedrecord of 574 Kmh wich comes to roughly 356 Mph, normal operating speeds is anywhere between 160 and 320 Kmh depending on speedlimits for the tracksection. This Record stood till 2015 when a Japanese train set a new record of 603Kmh/374Mph

The screw unscrews it from above the grille. The contraption that you see appearing is just a magnet to catch the screw and prevent it from falling to the ground by triggering the alarm. No sci-fi gizmos.

No doubt,this one is my personal favorite. I'm currently watching everything right now. But the first one still had a special place in my heart. So slick, so cool.

[@liz9242]

If this were made today, Tom Cruise would have actually blown up a helicopter and jumped onto a 200 mph train as it exploded.

[@tamikobogad6306]

The Mission Impossible tv show was around my time so the movie was even more enticing when it was young Tom Cruise. They even remixed the theme song and it jammed.

[@VictorVonGrooove]

I saw this in the theater. That tunnel scene was CRAZY!!!!

[@robertott9083]

Funny story about this movie. I was working in a theater when this came out and we would do employee screenings a week or two before it came out. We had to check the films to make sure they were without flaws. We'd watch them late at night after the theater was closed and empty around 1-2 in the morning. Any employees could come watch it. Our theater was in a mall and was using the newest Dolby sound system on the market at that time. The volume was recommended to not be turned up past .75 because it was very load and strong but for this movie we turned it up to 2.25. Behind this screen we were watching it on was a perfume store and when the train scene came on a security guard came running into the theater screaming for us to turn off the movie quickly!!!! HE was doing his rounds around the mall at around 3:45 when that scene came on and the metal gate for the perfume store began to rumble and the glass bottles and glass shelves began to break!!!! In all the booms from the movie did over $5,000.00 in damage to the perfume store. We never went past .75 again but the movie was awesome.

One of the interesting trivia bits here is that only the good guys are using Macs - bad guys use Windows. This was a requirement from Apple to use their hardware in the movie, and continues today.

[@randalthor741]

I grew up watching reruns of the old Mission: Impossible TV show in syndication, so when this movie came out I was super excited to go see it. I can count the number of movies I've gone to see in the theatre on opening night on the fingers of one hand, and this is one of them. Every time the Mission: Impossible theme started playing, the whole theatre went wild, it was great!

[@jamesmeechan6983]

You are saying the 2nd one is bad but it's not

[@Deon41100]

Not sure if this was mentioned but the Bourne movies are based on books that came out in the 80s. Certainly the success of the earlier MI movies could've been the catalyst for the adaptions, though. Love the reactions. :)

I'm so glad y'all are starting this series. Hopefully y'all continue with them. This is is still my favorite one. It's not saying the others are good or great but i semi remember seeing this movie back then in 96 with my mom and it still feels as cool watching today. Definitely dated on the graphics but despite knowing what happens, it still hooks me. Also, interesting probability I've always thought of. Ethan is REAAALLY lucky Krieger dropped that knife because he was probably going to kill Ethan when he made it back up

Magnolia is one of Tom cruise best movies which had an all star cast. He won a golden globe(best supporting actor) in 2000 for Magnolia. The Bourne movies are based on the Bourne book series. Maybe the writer got inspiration from the old mission impossible tv series.

Probably important to note, the movies are based on the popular TV series from the 60's...which included the theme song. In fact, Phelps, the character who turns out to be the villain of this movie, was the main character of the TV series.

[@ChipJones421]

There is something that makes this movie a ton more fun than the rest... not to say the others are bad (they aren't they are amazing... 2 eh lol) but there is something fun that basically encourages the audience to play along with everything that you don't get in the sequels. Also, Vanessa Redgrave as Max is one of the best minor roles of all time... so much so they have a character in the new films that is all but confirmed to be her daughter.

The thing that always gets me about the vault escape is, they used a magnet to remove the screws holding the grill in place. So how did they refasten the screws to allow the grill to be reclosed? I guess it’s possible they used a grip/tool in the vent to hold it in place but it just seemed weird when I first noticed it.
