The stunts are unreal!!! First time watching Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol movie reaction

[@TheMaskedChef7]

Definitely! One of my favorites if not my number 1 favorite in the franchise.

[@jenloveshorror]

Great reaction as always guys! This is the one where all the tech breaks or doesn't work!! That's why the anxiety & the movie is so better than few others cause we are so used to them having all the handy tools, but in this one, it shows off their intelligence & strengths. So just imagine if they had all working tools. And I think it was Quinn that asked, yes they have sandstorms that bad. Actually even worse than depicted. My bro does mission work & says it can be very scary, but at least where he's normally at they have warning systems in place. I imagine there are areas that don't get proper warning & can be deadly.

[@RealBLAlley]

One of the strengths of the movie franchise is that they don't repeat themselves. Hendricks isn't so much the villain as one of several antagonists, serving as the catalyst for the greater threat of nuclear war. Hendricks also has a very different personality and approach compared to Owen Davian. You will see that same diversity with the main antagonist in Rogue Nation. Most of the shots of him climbing the Burj Khalifa were real, including when Ethan steps out through the window and when Brandt and Jane are holding onto him as he hangs outside the window.

[@jenloveshorror]

@@RealBLAlley I like ur summary of the antagonists of this movie. I never really gave it that much thought, but what you say is very true imo

[@John_Locke_108]

It will never cease to amaze me that Tom Cruise actually climbed that building. He had wires that that they erased but that was him on the real freaking building.

[@edsp666]

"What did Tom actually climb to get this shot?" You are not going to believe this....

[@longfellow0]

I live in Dubai and back then I was selected as an Extra along with 400 others for the party scene in India (Though it wasn't India. The palace shown was a hotel in the Palm Jumeirah area in Dubai) We shot for 3 days. It was fun. Got paid well, had awesome free food, got to see these stars and got to experience Hollywood film making. I was supposed to be an Indian Businessman! And they promised us special premier show tickets when the movie releases. This was in 2010. And exactly a year later, in 2011, I got mail from them inviting me to a special IMAX Premier show even before the movie is out. They kept the promise! All 400 of us extras got to see the movie. Amazing all the way!!! BTW I found my shot for a second in that Party scene when the movie came out. Only I can find it. blink and miss shot! Haha! But its the experience that matters!

[@MarkHWillson]

Pretty jealous that you got to be a part of what is, in my opinion, the best MI movie. That's super neat!

Love how this franchise still manages to surpass expectations with each film! Tom is in serious competition with himself lol

[@sillygoose7646]

That’s what makes Tom so good at his job. He’s always pushing himself and challenging himself to do his best.

[@jamesmorales4735]

Did u see part 7?

[@kydeon8893]

@@jamesmorales4735 Great action movie

[@jacquigawne8469]

26:06 In answer to your question Mason Quinn, Tom Cruise LITERALLY climbed the Burj Khalifa himself and did all his own stunts while doing so. This includes when Ethan Hunt runs down the building, jumping over a camera and doing the big swing over to the open window. He was rigged up to cables and a safety harness while filming them, which were digitally erased during post production. Also, this stunt is my favourite stunt and WatchMojo has done a few videos which have this stunt in high spots on their lists. :)

[@jlgibson001]

I love the extra for this film, where they're talking about this stunt, and how Tom was suspended outside the building for hours, I believe, and they'd be standing there in between shots... and Tom Cruise would go swinging by. 🤣

[@retropyro]

"Tom Cruise performed the sequence where Ethan Hunt scales the outside of the Burj Khalifa tower himself without the use of a stunt double. The Burj Khalifa tower is the tallest building in the world at 2,722 feet, or 829.8 meters. Cruise dangled outside the tower at approximately 1,700 feet, or 518 meters."

[@roxysdg334]

BENJI has to be my favorite character. The comic relief brought by Simon Peg is always fantastic.

[@lamisbadra4278]

Sand storms are even worse than what they showed in this scene They can be brutal

[@wolfstar024]

what i love about this movie is them having to deal with ‘almost everything that can go wrong does go wrong’ as well as them kind of poking fun at how much MI relies on their fancy gadgets when they don’t work in this film, and how the team mcguyvers their way through even if by the skin of their teeth. this is the MI movie i probably rewatch the most

[@shadowfauxe6468]

I did a project in school about stunts and scene breakdowns, and I used this movie. The Climbing scene is not only real, but they had so many obstacles to face along the way. Permits, electrical problems, time, and of course safety had a lot to factor into for that Climb. IF you're asking what Tom Cruise did to get said shot, well you're looking at what he did. He may be weird in a lot of ares, but I respect his bravery to do his own stunts, with as little cgi as possible. Mans a legend for that.

[@heather6668]

Yeah he climbed it. Totally awesome scenes. LOL think his philosophy is "Insurance company won't cover you for this (pick a stunt)". Tom: "Fire the insurance company and find another."

[@zeinspired577]

The MI film that made me a fan of the franchise. Things just get better and better from here.

[@Phantom_Fireside]

Hey same

[@Juul71421]

This is my personal favorite in the franchise, Simon Pegg is just chef’s kiss in this😄 Gotta love the humor he brings😂

[@iggtastic]

Brad Bird is a fantastic director of action, and his sense of pacing is exceptional. I love his stuff.

[@rhaspodel]

From the Incredibles to Tomorrowland, he's one of my favorite directors; plus he was one of the early Simpsons writers.

[@vn5774]

Crazy to think this was his first live-action movie

[@ramadiii]

Not gonna lie, hearing Swedish in this (and the next) Mission Impossible makes me so freaking happy! Finally we get to be the bad guys too 🤣 Also "what did Tom climb to get that shot?"... The actual building in Dubai, that's what 😅 From the third movie on its honestly easier to just assume that Tom Cruise did all of the stunts for real cause most of the time he's crazy enough to do it.

[@fanvcritic]

You hit the nail on the head MQ! The villain was the task! The person was just the plot point that is causing the chaos. But the chaos and the mission was the thing the team had to overcome.

[@exknight39]

I remember watching this in cinema. One of the best in the franchise and surprisingly directed very well from the man who did The Incredibles. The moment where he climbed Burj Khalifa, as a kid I thought it was just the basic on set stunt. Then they posted a picture of Tom actually climbing it and my mouth was wide open.

[@Julian-p7q-b4t]

Same. 😍😍😍 I can't believe Ghost Protocol will be 12 years old in 4 days. 😭😭 Time flies so fast. But Tom Cruise is still a legend!

[@michaelshelton8802]

To address Mason Quinn's point on the villain being vanilla... The villain is always the mission, not some bad guy to defeat... This movie highlighted that to the extreme by having a team needing to succeed with impossible circumstances. And with the knowledge that the mission itself is the villain, I think it was one of the best villains yet.

[@MelanieJeanneSchons]

I loved Jeremy Renner so much in this! 🥰

[@munkeynz]

Originally, Ving Rhames was supposed to reprise his role in the film, but a pay dispute between him and the studio prevented this during filming. Fortunately it was resolved during the final weeks of production, hence him turning up at the final scene.

[@heather6668]

Even though he was not in this till the end, I believe he is the only character other than Ethan who has appeared in all of the MI films

[@billbill6094]

Oak missed his chance to see that shot in IMax. This movie was perhaps the biggest selling point for IMax at the time and man did it not disappoint. That shot immediately gave me vertigo. And to answer Mason Quinn's question, in order to make it look like Tom was on the outside climbing the tallest building in the world, he decided to go to the Burj Khalifa and climb the outside of it. Assisted when it's meant to look like his gloves are sticking, but manually when Ethan has to climb, fall, and rappel the building old fashioned. It turned out, the Burj Khalifa _was_ the tallest structure in the world so he kept those shots in.

[@andreym212]

It's incredibly funny to watch Tom Cruise trying to act russian capitan with such a strong accent. With love from Russia!

[@samridhkharbat]

Oak's reaction to Tom's near fall is exactly how I react to a roler coaster. i choke and unable to get any scream out.

[@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). RIP to Michael Nyqvist (Hendricks/Cobalt).

[@jenloveshorror]

Love that this movie was directed by a man that had only done animation films. I think that's so cool cause they blew it out of park , and I mean cmon Tom climbing scene was really done by him. Obviously he was held on by ropes that were cgid out, but still he was really up that high climbing. Idk anyone but few that would be that daring. Amazing movie w intense stunt work. Loved reaction. Thanks guys. Don't forget to check out "a complete retrospective" by primes theater if u want bunch more cool facts!!

[@peeweewallabowski7084]

[@gandheezy6163]

This is probably my fav in the series, but every movie 4-7 is so damn good it's hard to compare

[@heather6668]

I saw 7 at the cinema and to be honest, the set pieces and stunts were fantastic but I didn't warm to Hayley Atwell at all. For me, she was just irritating and if their plan is to set her up to take over, then I'm out. I loved Rebecca Ferguson's Ilsa though. She was amazing. I liked Jane in this one too.

[@thedefinitionisthis]

You think watching that first shot of Tom Cruise stepping out and looking down the skyscraper gives you anxiety now… try watching that shit in IMAX. I remember the audience just squirming in my IMAX theatre, myself included just going “fuck that” lol. Such a great entry to the series. M:I3 kinda got the ball rolling on his These movies would be for the next almost-20 years, and this movie just elevated it.

[@stormy2184]

How do this movies keep getting better? Blows my mind! It has its own tone and feeling...completely diffraction from other spy movies..great reaction guys! Iam loving this

[@Pupeyes]

I love how this movie action set pieces were crafted around altitude and people falling. There were lots of high places and lots of falls. I think it’s a cool action theme throughout. I don’t think there’s another movie like that

[@TheRealGSmith]

Excited to be on this journey with you. I was actually looking for a reaction channel who did all M:i movies a couple months ago and I couldn't find one I liked. You have filled this void now. :) I can't wait for your next reaction because the 5th movie is probably my favorite in the series.

That whole Burj Kahlifa scene is unreal

[@nikwalters1029]

Love this and Rouge Nation as I'm abig Renner and Pegg fan. I also love the snark they can portray.

[@blackkatt777]

My favorite Mission Impossible movies that I watch over and over again is the 2nd movie with Thandiwe Newton and Dougray Scott...and this one. Tom doesn't do too many movies anymore, but when he does an action movie or mystery drama like, A Few Good Men, he's in his bag.

[@Lekuster93]

Oh yeah by the way, Wistrom was played by a Finnish actor/singer Samuli Edelmann and is one of my favourites to listen to. Even though his role here is somewhat small, it was still cool to see him in this 😁❤️

15:15 - "Alpha 113" or A113 is a studio code and its variants are an inside joke and Easter egg in media developed by alumni of California Institute of the Arts, referring to the classroom used by graphic design and character animation students. Students who have used the classroom include John Lasseter, Tim Burton, Michael Peraza, and Brad Bird who is the director for this movie!

[@maximillianosaben]

My favorite in the series! Saw this in the NYC Lincoln Center IMAX (biggest IMAX on the east coast, several stories tall and wide), and gosh darn did that Burj Khalifa scene blow minds! Shot on IMAX cameras, it took up the whole enormous screen. And then there's the rest of the awesome movie too!

[@vojta123654]

A lot of the scenes were filmed in Prague, Czech Republic. Tom Cruise was 100 metres from my home for weeks in the middle of nowhere and I didn´t even know it. I was just a kid.

I’m from this part of the world, and these sandstorms do happen, especially in the Persian Gulf region from Iraq to Dubai.

[@GhostWatcher2024]

Best running gag in this installment is that from the beginning ALL of their gadgets fail them (with the exception of the sonic drill in the prison escape at the beginning) - Dude's eye-implant recognition thing ultimately gets him killed. - The image wall malfunctions during the escape from the Kremlin. - the server cant be hacked. - the mask maker malfunctions. - Brandts eye implant gets noticed. - the power gloves fail. - the tracking device is partially foiled by a sandstorm. - the hover cart doesnt work QUITE right. - the timing with the laptop stopping the nuke arming is off. Not to mention all of the other things... Just nothing goes as planned. And they still save the world.

[@BestAnimeFreak]

41:51 In German, this guy was voiced by the same voice actor, who voices Robert Downy Jr. and considering his Iron Man is similar to this character ... it just fit perfectly xD

[@sparkequinox]

I remember seeing a video on a professional analysis Toms run, and apparently he is actually very fast and above average and could compete if he wanted. There is a reason he does it, he is good and it is impressive.

[@Phantom_Fireside]

That Burj Khalifa scene hands down my favorite sequence ever. It's so fucking good.

[@ahdvd]

Sandstorms can be brutal, depending on the density of the sand can be like being blasted with wire wool. Dubai is now very densely built up in the city centre which may prevent a storm from being right in the centre of the city now, but back when this was filmed it wasn’t so built up and had less buildings in the outskirts, so less to break up any wind

[@ministryofzim]

sand storms, I was in Egypt in 1991 in a town called Aswan it is the southernmost town before the Aswan dam separating Egypt and Sudan. I went to see the light show at the Philae monument which was on a small island. That night a sandstorm hit. the light show was cut short as all tourists were put onto the ferry's to get us back to our hotels and cruise boats. I was on a cruise ship when I got back to shore a brave and crazy taxi driver drove me to my ship which was actually weighing anchor. I almost missed my cruise. (that sandstorm lasted for three solid days) so I think any middle eastern country could get hit by such a storm

[@taniar523]

Ghost Protocol is my favourite Mission Impossible movie!! Loved the reaction!

[@mycroft16]

They actually used the Burj Khalifa for the shots. They didn't build or green screen anything. They took windows off of the building, he really went out that window that high up. He was tethered to a winch on the roof above so he wouldn't fall, but he scaled the exterior of the tallest building in the world. They removed windows to put cameras out as well as using helicopters to get all the shots. Brad Bird also decided that the tech should constantly fail so that it was the team themselves who had to do things, not the tech. This was his first live action film... having directed animated films (Incredibles, Iron Giant) previously. He has an eye for action and amazing shot angles. That feeling when he falls from the building... imagine that in the theater. The entire audience felt their stomachs drop as the anxiety kicked into overdrive. It was insane. The sell of of the scale and the danger is amazing. They have sandstorms this bad in Arizona. Some great video of them and it gets dark... street lights turn on. Dubai gets them even more being set on the edge of one of the largest deserts.

[@Rated314]

Fun fact... Cruise (Hunt) and Nyqvist (Hendricks) are the same age lol. Cruise born 2 years after, in 1962 😂😂😂

[@foxden2112]

So he did actually climb the building for that sequence. From this point on he did all the stunts that were shown basically

[@RealBLAlley]

Not a jump scare, a fall scare. Michael Nyqvist was only two years older than Tom Cruise.

[@noorkhan215]

The video has been out a while but YES sandstorms that big and dramatic do happen, especially in Dubai and Saudi Arabia. You get caught up in one of those in a car, you can't see anything right in front of you. Nearly ran off the road once :D

[@Flynn380_]

Another note: ICYMI - The Fog's Contact in this one is played by (sorry to the actor) Karl's Brother in Die Hard, the one who get's his sweatshirt written on by Bruce Willis and sent down the elevator announcing his presence.

[@timstackii]

"What did Tom actually climb to get this shot?" ... That is actual Tom on the side of the actual Burj Khalifa. (with digitally removed safety wires of course)

[@AdamNisbett]

I would think sandstorms like that are kinda the Dubai equivalent of hurricanes or blizzards etc in portions of the USA that can similarly reduce visibility when they’re really bad.

[@teejaykaye]

I don't think I've seen Oak look so much like his heart just stopped as when Ethan fell from the Burj Khalifa xD that was incredible

"Pier 47! Seattle!" Filmed in Vancouver. Granville Island :D

[@bmw128racer]

Tom was actually outside the Burj Khalifa... No CGI, just digitally deleted safety cables. There's a photo of him the the very top... Barefoot.

[@tashrif46]

34:07 Simon Pegg was a great addition to this

[@thegen_xer]

If you want to see a movie that is basically Hawkeye on a weekend, watch Tag. It stars Jeremy Renner, Ed Helms, Jon Hamm and a few others. It's about a group of guys that have been playing the same game of tag since they were kids. Renner's character is the elusive target, having never been tagged. When I saw it, I said it was Hawkeye on a weekend. Great fun.

I watched a review of climbing scenes in movies done by Alex Honnold, who is best known for his free solo ascents of big walls. His review of the climbing the Tom Cruise did was "yeah he did pretty much exactly what I did when I free climbed it except for those gloves. It's essentially just holding the sides of each window and then mantling to the next ledge over and over." You guys asked what Tom Cruise really climbed for the scene and well, it was the actual building and he really did climb it. Not so sure about the getting down bit though.
