Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol (2011) Movie REACTION!!

[@JoshotekGaming]

Fun fact! Tom Cruise did actually do the whole outside of the building climb for real! He just had a single cable attached and climbed and ran down the building, he's insane! You can watch behind the scene clips online!

[@luliu4572]

I could have a billion cables attached to my body, and I still would not be able to save face when I'm that high. Tom Cruise is an animal.

It was a pretty good insurance policy they had on him for that one. Not to put a price on a life, but…

[@Rmlohner]

"It looks so real." It's adorable that you're so sure there has to be some trick to it, rather than Tom Cruise actually doing it.

[@Billyregin]

God, adorable is such a condescending word to use. You aren't talking to children

[@Billyregin]

@@Brian-qn7fn In the way the OP used it, yes it is. Its not "adorable" to think its CGI, and its 100% condescending to say so

[@Dafmeister1978]

Rule 1 for watching the MI series: Remember, Tom Cruise is a lunatic.

[@lotusinn3]

⁠@@kdizzle901 How? 😅

[@celeste1737]

By now everyone should know Tom Cruise does his own stunts, that’s how he broke his foot in this movie jumping from one by building to the other. Pretty damn awesome if you ask me

[@xxluchianxx]

32:45 Nikki really went through every possible emotion all at once 😂😂

[@matthalaboo6694]

This needs more upvotes.

[@j0hn00]

The way she digs her fingers into his arm and also grabs the blanket like she's the one falling😭

[@SaiyanHeretic]

If I recall correctly, Ghost Protocol was originally going to be Cruise's last M:I movie. Brandt was being written in to take over as the main character going forward, and the leg injury that Ethan suffers during the climax here was going to be a career ender, putting him behind a desk as the new chief, for no more than quick cameo scenes. But about halfway through production, Cruise decided he was going to stick around as long as he could keep up this ever more physically demanding role, and the ending had to be tweaked to accomodate him. (Amusingly, Renner was also being set up to take over the Bourne franchise from Matt Damon, which also went nowhere.)

[@LaCheeserie]

Obviously he is not the movie star TC is, but I think as far as just being in that role lead Renner would have been great. But would he have done all the stunts? Would the subsequent movies have been as successful money use? Internationally they probably still do big numbers.

[@diamondem]

From this movie onward, the stunts from Tom Cruise are real and special effects are used for touch ups and removal of things like wires and harnesses, crowds, etc.

[@al.b775]

So glad you guys discovered this franchise of films as it has just gotten better and better over the years and watching you guys react to it been absolute blast

[@NikkiStevenReact]

We are too. We are loving these movies.

[@kai_winchester_66]

they're goood films

[@quiett6191]

33:52 Thats cause it is really Tom Cruise running down the side of that building. Pretty much the only CGI they used was to digitally remove the safety nets from the shot. There were stories of onlookers, who watched this being filmed, fainting at certain stunts, like the swing and release bit.

[@Przemro9]

It looks realistic because it really happened, have a look at behind the scenes, he actually did that :)

[@funsterkeyven]

I never get sick of this particular MI. Its absolutely fun in almost every scenario. The russian infiltration, the burh khalifa, the party scene and even the car park finale. All just extremely rewatchable imo.

[@zvimur]

18:43, Double respect, for not only having a Russian character not a complete idiot, but casting an actually high tier Russian actor Vladimir Mashkov.

[@PeterPalmiotti]

Ghost Protocol is my favorite Mission Impossible movie, so much fun!

[@got2bjosh]

It's best and the most fun. Brad Bird, Michael Giacchino, Alias plot points, Paula Patton adding something fresh & new, & the incredible set pieces.

[@billbill6094]

33:50 "They make this shit look so realistic." Yup, they did it the same way they shot the moon landing, on location for that unparalleled realism. Tom Cruise did in fact climb the hotel, when he has to take both hands off he actually rests there with that rock climbimg position, when he jumped out and ran down he actually jumped out and ran down.

[@trayntp]

This is where the series gets iconic. Smooth sailing starting with the next one.

[@garypasquill2355]

This is one franchise I can watch on repeat without getting bored, they get better every time.

[@thekeyboardess1150]

But the stunts were also real in MI:2 and M:I3 (even the knife 5mm to TC's eye was real)

[@roykentseyebrows4196]

Matt Damon tells a story from when he was out to dinner with Cruise and asked him about the skyscraper stunt. Cruise said, "The safety guy told us we couldn't do the stunt because it was too dangerous." Matt Damon nods. Cruise, "So we got another safety guy."

[@reginaphalange30]

I love "They make this stuff look so realistic"😂 yes, that's as real as it gets Nikki! Tom Cruise on the side of a building. It makes me nervous watching him, but I can't look away!

[@SweetsourGamer]

So stoked to watch you guys witness the greatness of this franchise! It gets so damn good! **Nikki expressing distaste towards MI:2's rock climbing scene** Me: "Oh, you poor soul" 🤣 Bonus Fun Fact 1: This one was directed by Brad Bird. He's a very successful animation director who has worked for Pixar. He's directed movies like "The Iron Giant", "The Incredibles", and "Ratatouille". This movie also was Brad's first live-action movie that he's directed. Bonus Fun Fact 2: This is a direct follow-up to fun fact #1. At 9:35, we get a close-up of Hanaway's ring. The ring has "A113" on the side of it. This is a common easter egg found in a lot of animated movies as this is an animation studio code from California Institute of the Arts that a lot of successful animators go to to learn animation.

[@Tenshii_Artii]

This MI movie being directed by Brad Bird was news to me. But then the moment I heard of the MI theme song used in the beginning, it all made sense. The feel of it Sounds just like something that who’s have been made for The Incredibles too.

[@GMDTurbo]

Also Ethan says "Alpha One One Three" (A113) when on the phone after escaping the hospital.

[@SweetsourGamer]

[@k.delpino1124]

Came out near Christmas 2011. Major upgrade for the franchise. One of my favorite sequels. Saw it in IMAX, 5 days before it's initial release. Brad Bird (The Incredibles, Ratoutoulle and The Iron Giant) did amazingly well with his first live-action film. From part 4 onward, they utilize IMAX technology for core visual scenes in these sequels. This one definitely proved that Cruise is one of the best actors to ever do action period. The cast (IMF, villains) was great. Jeremy Renner was super busy between M-I, the MCU and the Bourne franchise. Not too many 4th installments are this good. From here on out, the missions stay fully connected (thanks to J.J. Abrams as producer).

[@W0NK042]

The music tells him which plan is in action + how much time until exit. 😉 The “Should you choose to accept it” is rhetorical, to add to the plausible deniability. That way, not only can they say a team never worked for them, but they can “honestly” say that no such order has ever been given. There's a pic of Tom sitting on the very top of the hotel, harness free.

[@kratosGOW]

Pluto is now categorized as a dwarf planet ever since 2006 when they discovered eerily similar celestial bodies near Pluto’s aphelion (the most distant point of a body’s orbit) and that violated the criteria for a planet.

[@meijiOrO]

Matt Damon once asked Tom Cruise how the building stunt came about. Cruise said he described what he wanted to do with the stunt safety guy. The guy said it's too dangerous... so Cruise gets another guy until one will finally say yes let's do it.

[@GauravKhatri]

Safety Guy : It's too dangerous ! You can't do it ! Tom Cruise : About that ...Well......🤣🤣🇳🇵✌️

[@jeremymanley1410]

I had to rewatch Nikki's reaction to that whole building climbing sequence like 3 times that was one of the best reactions ive seen on this channel or anywhere for that matter 😂

[@JOHNWICKDARKK]

Director : Lets use CGI Tom : I am CGI ( Cruise Going Insane)

[@GMDTurbo]

OK this one made me laugh

[@musicaleuphoria8699]

Haha😂 YES!

[@theaikidoka]

I have never been part of a covert epsionage team (but I would say that, right?) however in the military any mission of a similar type to the IMFs is always accepted by the assigned team, not done under orders. The reason is that people like Ethan are valuable for their skills, and a huge problem if they turn against you. You don't want them feeling like they've been coerced or tricked - that kind of thing leads to quitting, defecting, double-agents and so on. I don't think there would be ANY consequences for Ethan turning down the mission, not even asking again for the same mission. It seems counter-intuitive, but people who willingly accept risk and stress are MUCH less likely to quit or fail than people who face even the strictest sanctions for not carrying out orders. America and Britain haven't re-instituted drafts (despite falling recruitment numbers) because unwilling soldiers are almost worse than no soldiers at all. It's the sense of professional pride and inter-personal connection that makes soldiers (and presmably spies) accept huge dangers for their nation.

[@mycroft16]

Which is finally kind of explained in the latest.

[@Billyregin]

This movie revived both the franchise and Tom's career. Executives wanted replace Tom with Brad Pitt, and Jeremy Renner was brought in to eventually take over. But this movie did so well Cruise was kept on and his overall career got new legs too.

[@Swordsfor200Alex]

The best thing about the Dubai filming was seeing a family's post from 2010. They were in their hotel room and Tom Cruise came by the outside while in his climbing rigging and waived at them. LOL

[@irrumnaaz]

The stunts just get better and more insane, and the fact that they're real makes it 10x better. Tom Cruise is friggin amazin

Nikki and Steven, loved the movie. Watched multiple times already, I just love watching you guys watch and comment. I can hardly wait for next one. I really enjoy your channel, to much bad news all the time in life, Thank you for letting us escape . Peace

[@Pupeyes]

Okay, so… based on Nikki’s fear of heights, you should watch an indie movie with lots and lots of tension, following two girls who get stuck above a tower. It’s called Fall. That might sound boring but the movie is actually pretty darn good. However, I’m looking forward to the rest of the MI movies with you two. Also, Luther does come back. Also, Nikki, the building scene looked realistic because… it was 😆 Tom was truly hanging from that building. He did that himself.

[@isaiahhernandez144]

I like the ending because it shows what every hero sometimes has to go through. Which is to protect the people you love the best thing to do is to walk away from them.

[@italiangunpowder]

Nikki losing her shit for the solid 10 minutes during the tower scene was an absolute riot and hilarious, not just for entertainment, but because i also react the exact same way due to my atrocious fear of heights. real, relatable, and seen.

The sandstorm is pretty accurate. The giant sandstorms are called Haboobs. No idea why. But the vision is impaired but you can make your way through them. Just putting your shirt over your mouth and nose will help with the breathing. While goggles are best, but even if just glasses are available, they can help.

[@got2bjosh]

Y'all would LOVE the show Alias (ABC). Once the MI franchise hooked up with Bad Robot (JJ Abrams' company), so many details and plot points were lifted from that show. They include: 1) the bomb in the head from the third film, 2) the needle in the ring in this film, 3) Giacchino as composer (he did the music for JJ's hit shows, Alias & Lost), 4) Sawyer from Lost cast in this film, 5) Angela Bassett playing a short-haired, no nonsense CIA Director overseeing the clandestine group. Alias is worth reacting to!

The only thing this movie was missing is a great villain, because Philip Seymour Hoffman was so good in the 3rd film. Other than that this movie is perfect, and Mission Impossible 5 is even better! It has an incredible motorcycle chase as well, so look forward to that.

[@kotkaconforza]

From here forward the series really finds it footing with the writer/director McQ (who also was a ghost writer on this one). It really becomes a whole saga with interconnectivity, and not just stand-alone adventures.

47:35 it's true. Pluto was moved to a category that is now known as Dwarf Planets. And Pluto is actually not the only one. There are 4 other dwarf planets confirmed in our solar system called Eris, Ceres, Makemake and Haumea, with several dozens more being considered. It is speculated that there could be hundreds if not thousands more.

So glad you are enjoying these epic action movies. Against all odds they keep topping themselves over and over.

So good I am here for Cruise repeatedly trying to top himself with insane stunts done as real as humanly possible.

[@newspooiechannel]

Ving Rhames and the studio could not come to terms on his salary for the film, so they had Luther was written out entirely. As the movie was being filmed, it wasn't quite turning out as the creators were hoping, so Christopher McQuarrie was brought in to do some uncredited re-writes and flesh out some of the scenes. When he joined, he was shocked to find that Luther wasn't in the film and that Ethan's wife had died off-screen, so he convinced the studio to bring both of them back and re-wrote the ending to explain that he was secretly watching over her. He also fleshed out Jeremy Renner's character, who had morphed from being more ambiguous as to whether he was working against the team to potentially taking over the film series to what he became in the finished version. McQuarrie would then go on to write or co-write AND direct the next four films in the series. Mission Impossible III was a soft reboot for the series, humanizing Ethan, adding in more humor and more outrageous action/spy content. The rest of the films continue this pattern.

[@robertjulianoph.d.1423]

It wasn't in the reaction video but... fun fact: the scene when Ethan meets the man who has him put on a mask before he gets transported to meet Bogdan and the arms dealer is actually a special nod/cameo from the first film. Before Ethan met with Max, he met with a long haired blond man and they gave him a black mask to put on before they would take him to his destination. Here in this movie, that's the same blond man and the same mask from the first movie that he gives to Ethan without any dialogue before he takes him to meet Bogdan and his cousin. A special easter egg and cameo from the first Mission Impossible for anyone that noticed or remembered.

47:35 - Pluto is still a planet BUT at the same distance, there are hundreds of other planetoids that are equal size or bigger and it would be weird to add all those to our core planets, so it was quietly decided to just ignore anything outside the 8th planet ring. Beyond Pluto, there are THOUSANDS of big planets and planetoids orbiting the sun but they are very difficult to detect. Still, we've discovered a few very big ones.

Swinging his feet back and foeth like he was chillin' at the dock of a lake lol. His wife at the time, Katie Holmes, and their daughter were inside the building when he ran across the side of the building. Just watching his stunt scene. Tom is a BADASS.
