How are we still making Mission: Impossible movies? I guess because Tom Cruise hasn't managed to kill himself doing stunts yet. Although he did manage to fracture his ankle shooting this one, so they had to put Fallout on hold for a couple of months while he healed up.
You can see that take in the movie too, because if nothing else, Mission: Impossible Fallout endeavors to bring you as an authentic an experience as possible, no doubt due to Cruise's personal insanity. Fist fights, motorcycle chases, HALO jumps, helicopter flying...it's pretty clear Cruise happily decided to play stuntman for all of it. Might make him crazy, but it certainly gave me a reason to check out his movie.
This also happens to be the movie that Henry Cavill was in the middle of when...
