*Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol* HAD ME *SO* STRESSED.. | First Time Watching!

[@oliverconway6960]

There's nothing but craziness from here on out in this series.

[@VKunia]

I CANNOT WAIT 🥰

[@MadcapMatt]

Léa Seydoux, the diamond girl that got kicked out the window is such an underrated actress. In huge franchises like Mission Impossible, Dune, and James Bond movies. But she's also worked with the likes of Quentin Tarantino, Wes Anderson, Yorgos Lanthimos, and Ridley Scott. I have yet to see any movie of hers that I haven't liked.

[@CrazeeAdam]

​@user-xk8dx1ci9sBlue is the Warmest Color. And while the sex scenes were incredibly hot, also acting was completely on point and tragic.

[@h.4315]

DEATH by DEFENESTRATION

[@lionlyons]

@@CrazeeAdam Blue is the Warmest Color was a great film because of the fact that the two lead actresses being lesbians was completely irrelevant to the plot. The film would have worked just as well if the central relationship had been a heterosexual one.

[@tigqc]

@16:33 I remember sitting in the theater when Ethan walked up to the edge of the window and the black bars at the top and bottom of the screen actually faded away and it became full IMAX. You could see everybody tense up in their seats when the camera went outside and looked down.

[@arundarcy]

Totally. I remember that feeling too on the IMAX. During re-watches, I specifically look for that shot and it is always freshly terrifying.

[@fredrice8650]

I love how in this movie basically everything goes wrong every time. It makes it one of the most suspenseful movies I've seen, and truly live up to the name "Mission Impossible."

[@920WASHBURN]

Did you ever see the series prison break?

[@hammerman199374]

The actor who played Hanaway, the agent that is shot in the beginning, is Josh Holloway, He's another example of JJ Abrams' casting actors he's worked with before. Josh played one of the main characters in Lost, which Abrams created and produced.

[@sebastianemond5313]

That's right, Sawyer from Lost; part of the infamous love triangle with Kate and Jack. He was also in another spy series, Intelligence, where he played a secret agent with a super micro chip that allows him to connect to various computer systems.

Hopefully Tom Cruise never gets his wish to die making a movie and continues to provide us with entertainment.

[@CrazeeAdam]

I mean. Dead Reckoning pt. 2 is supposed to be the last one I think for MI films. But he may still do other things

[@flixandclips]

"What if his pants fall down! And he dies pantsless!" Hahaha

[@christianwise637]

Ghost Protocol, in other words, the point where the Mission Impossible series went from "fine but uneven spy thrillers" to the most consistently top-tier action series of the modern day. The action is absolutely insane and exhilarating while still being nail-bitingly suspenseful, and all the excitement is balanced out by the script's excellent sense of humour - to be expected when Brad Bird is in the director's chair. Also, I appreciate the fact that the whole team dynamic gets more focus in this film, and the actors all have really great chemistry with each other, it's probably my favourite line-up for the IMF team in the series. Ghost Protocol is absolutely amazing, and the crazy thing is that it's only going to get better from here

[@BPhillips2000]

In case no one's mentioned it... For the Burj Khalifa scene, Tom really did run around the outside of the building (from the 8th floor, not the 130th. Granted, that's still 80-100 feet in the air, so...)

[@Dunc25535]

Ghost Protocol and Fallout are the best 2 out the series

[@BattleAngelFan99]

I have a bit of a soft spot for the fifth movie, so I have trouble ordering them. To me, the third up to the latest are all just excellent and I don't see a point in trying to name a favorite.

[@nicktroisi6347]

@@BattleAngelFan99 That's thing that makes this Franchise so good, is that these films keep getting better and better. MI:3 was the push it needed to get off the ground

[@nmnm_]

Fallout > Rogue Nation > Ghost Protocol > Other MI movies to me

[@UnknownUser_10]

These two are my favorites as well. Closely followed by the 5th movie.

[@khalewren2734]

I think 4 and 5 are pretty much equal, 6 is definitely the best, and 7 is damn good too

[@matthalaboo6694]

This is my favorite Mission Impossible movie. It has the most humor, clever ideas and some of the best stunt sequences. It also has an emphasis on teamwork rather than being all about Tom Cruise.

[@thebkg]

Actually Diamonds are commonly used as currency for terrorist organizations around the world. Their small, easy to smuggle, and never go down in value. You can transfer $100K's with something that fits in a pocket.

[@SnabbKassa]

I don't think they are. Diamonds are basically worthless.

[@thebkg]

@SnabbKassa Lab Grown diamonds are cheap. Mined diamonds are not. A colorless 2 carat can range from $5K to $50K. Thus a small bag of 20 high quality cut diamonds can easily reach $1 Million. That's a lot smaller than a briefcase with $1 Million in cash.

[@nilesstark]

Brandt left such an impression to where they almost gave him his own movie.

[@BubbaCoop]

Bourne Legacy?

[@JoergWeida]

No, they originally planned that he takes over from Ethan in the next movies.

[@spicymemes7458]

I love how the director of Iron Giant, Ratatouille, and The Incredibles decided to casually try his hand at live action and delivered a straight up banger Mission Impossible movie. The best one honestly and made me a fan of the franchise.

[@nicktroisi6347]

My favorite Mission Impossible. It is absolutely brilliant from start to finish. One thing I really liked about this is that everything goes wrong and Ethan and his team have to improvise and then that plan almost goes wrong, it kept me on the edge of my seat. Tom actually doing the Burj Khalifa stunt for the time this came out was absolutely insane, I remember that being on the news and advertised everywhere My favorite moments are the escape from prison/"Light the fuse", when Ethan abseils down the Burj Khalifa as the theme plays and when he spots Julia. I was happy that he still makes sure that she is ok, he did the right thing letting her go, it means he truly loved her by staying away. What's so great about this franchise is these movies keep getting better and better which is a rarity with film franchises coming out today

[@brandonbullington]

Tom Cruise never used any stunt doubles in any running scene in the mission impossible movies. Tom Cruise runs so fast!

[@LeePresson]

Tom always wears a safety wire that is removed in post. He's crazy but he's not stupid.

[@JoeMama410]

5 is better than 4, and 6 is better than 5, but the Burj Khalifa scene is the best action sequence in the whole series, perhaps in history.

[@BrandonDuckett]

I think this may be my favorite mission impossible, mostly due to the Brad Bird touch.

@vkunia I think your videos are truly authentic by demonstrating sincere wholesomeness and joy.

My favorite movie “Argo”, one of my childhood comedies, “Kangaroo Jack”, and in my opinion the best American film ever made, “12 Angry Men (1957)”. Thank you

In fact, Ethan would have been arrested when he presented himself as a Russian general. The accent was very funny.

[@BattleAngelFan99]

7:18 Uh, when you're in the military, one of those first things they train into you in early training is always salute officers. Always. If they have the uniform and the stars, etc, you salute always. You don't recognize the guy, you still salute. And there are a lot of officers in any military, so somebody could get away with this. The vast majority of military people would each be thinking "Just another high-ranking officer I've never seen before."

Fun fact, the insurance company that the studio uses dropped Tom Cruise as a client because of the stunts in this movie and now he is considered “uninsurable” because he keeps doing insane stunts like this.

[@davesunhammer4218]

I was a young kid when there was a Mission: Impossible tv series. 6 years old and LUUUVVVEEEDD it. And I was a little surprised how true to the original the movies were. Except one thing, The IMF (Impossible Mission Force) worked in teams and I always had so much anxious fun as Jim Phelps went through the files and selected his team. "Remember, if any of you or your team are caught we will disavow your actions. This tape will self destruct in 5 seconds."

[@Mansplainer2099-jy8ps]

Late comment. M:I-4 came out near Christmas 2011. Major upgrade for the franchise. 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 this franchise, the MCU and ever the Bourne franchise. Not too many 4th installments are this good neither. RIP to Michael Nyqvist (Hendricks/Cobalt) and Tom Wilkinson (IMF Secretary).

[@AdeptCharon]

Scary side-note: Having just read a pretty recently published book titled "Nuclear War: A Scenario", I just realized while watching this video that this movie is inaccurate (duh, I mean besides just all the inaccuracies for movie fun purposes lol), specifically in a way that downplays the threat of nuclear war massively. One of the terrifying things that it's leaving out, is that the US has a policy called "Launch on warning", which basically means that as soon as a launch is detected (and via the SBIRS satelite, STRATCOM knows of it in less than a second, even if it's on the other side of the planet), a procedure is started to get the president's order to react within a few minutes, by emptying the entire arsenal of land-side nukes (a couple hundred of them across the US, all of which are ALWAYS ready and waiting to launch within a minute, and all of which each have the destructive power of thousands of the "merely" atomic bombs dropped in WW2. Thermonuclear bombs use the atomic bombs as just the fuse for the actual bomb). The US will not wait for the actual first hit to happen before responding. There's also no way to recall or deactivate an ICBM with a nuke once it's launched. These are just some of the fantasies in the movie that I wish were true in the real world, but unfortunately are not, and public awareness about much of that topic is concerningly nonexistent. Another more movie-general related side-note: There has been some news that Denis Villeneuve might be making a movie based on the mentioned book, so we might soon finally get a movie that'll portray the ever-present threat of nuclear war in a more appropriately shocking way.

Always great to see a Vkunia reaction, and as usual, well done and enjoyable. The big plus is she is so beautiful, though this can distract from the film under her scrutiny. I can live with that, though. Love your perspective and insights when seeing for the first time. Keep 'em coming, girl!

[@reflectionist]

I will say, one of the best things about Mission Impossible is how it's learned to use humor. None of these movies are like Mission Impossible 2... but you get the sense that a lot of the other government workers who aren't part of the IMF (in future movies) have literally only seen Mission Impossible 2. Because THEY all think it's ridiculous. Seriously, there are scenes were the IMF is "in trouble" and "in the principals office" and you half expect them to start complaining about the Doves budget. Like the IMF has a budget just for doves they can put into a box and set by the door, knowing that when the bomb goes off, the doves won't be hurt, but the box will open and the doves will fly out, in front of the open door, right as Tom Cruise walks by menacingly.... Like, "Where did you guys get these doves?" "John brought them." "Who?" "No, Woo. John Woo. He brought the doves. They're his."

Qatar is also a much safer country. But that also applies to Dubai. Because the punishments are also very harsh, of course. I don't know how it is in Dubai, but in Qatar almost everyone speaks English very well. It's probably because Qatar is one of the USA's most important allies in the Middle East.
