He did this himself ????. Hai friend bnoge. When ever Ethan is getting chased in movies. I"m always worried about the bad guy, who actually might catch him. I think... Rabbit Foot was actually... Corona. ??. 2:43 The crowd staring cracks me up every time.

My boss" grandmother met Tom Cruise in Vegas in the late 90"s, but she wasn"t aware of who he was. He stepped into an elevator with her and she told him to press the Lobby button for her. When he realized she didn"t know who he was, he decided it would be a good idea to take her to her blackjack table. Tom escorted my boss" grandmother all the way to the blackjack table, and gave her a 500 chip, told her to put it all on one hand, and left. The rest of the table was shocked, all of them were asking her how she knew him. She told them well he"s just a nice doorman I think... Until I caught this film on television recently, I had only seen the second episode in the "Mission: Impossible" franchise. I must say that I was not impressed by "Mission: Impossible II" which struck me as a leaden, humourless attempt to make a James Bond-style spy thriller and which had dissuaded me from seeing either of the other two instalments. The first film, however, is a very different beast from its successor. The differences are doubtless due to the fact that the two films were made by two very different directors. "Mission: Impossible II" was made by John Woo, best known as the director of violent action-adventures. Its predecessor was made by Brian de Palma, who has a reputation for Hitchcockian suspense thrillers such as "Dressed to Kill" and has many of the hallmarks of a de Palma film.
"Mission: Impossible" is based on the old television series of that name, familiar from my childhood, and borrows a number of elements from it, such as the distinctive theme tune, the character of Jim Phelps and catchphrases such as "Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is. That one always used to baffle me as a child. Are spies really given the opportunity to say which assignments they will accept and which they will decline? Although it does incorporate Bond-like elements, it is more like a cross between a Bond-style film and those paranoid Cold War thrillers such as "The Spy who Came in from the Cold" where the hero was never sure whom he could trust and where anyone, including the hero"s closest associates- perhaps even the hero himself- could turn out to be a double, or even a triple, agent. (In this it differs from the original series, which generally reflected the moral certainties of the Cold War seen as Good v Evil.
The film opens with Phelps and a team of agents on a mission to prevent a traitor from stealing a computer file containing identities of all America"s double agents and then passing this information on to terrorists and criminal gangs. (This was made after the fall of the Berlin Wall, so the Russians are no longer the villains. The film, however, follows the tradition of using Eastern European cities as the setting for spy thrillers, so the mission takes place at an Embassy reception in a misty, mysterious-looking Prague. Unfortunately, the team have been betrayed and all of them except Phelps, his wife Claire and an agent named Ethan Hunt are killed. Because Hunt survives he immediately comes under suspicion of being the traitor who betrayed the team, so he is forced to go on the run.
The rest of the story centres upon Hunt"s attempts to elude his pursuers and to unmask the real mole. Another reviewer complains that most of De Palma"s recent movies have been more about style than content. That assessment is, I think, true of this film. As one might expect with de Palma, there are a number of stylish directorial set-pieces. Probably the most memorable is the sequence in which a high-speed train, with Hunt clinging to the roof, is followed into the Channel Tunnel by the helicopter which is trying to kill him. (In reality, of course, the Tunnel is not wide enough for such a manoeuvre to be feasible, although this was presumably a deliberate error committed in order to increase the suspense. Most of the audience will probably assume, as I did as soon as I saw the entrance to the Tunnel looming, that the chase will end as soon as the train enters it. Another memorable scene comes where Hunt is trying to steal important information from the CIA headquarters, even though the computer containing the data is in a vault protected by all sorts of hi-tech devices, including temperature sensors and infra-red light beams. (This scene may have inspired a similar one in "Entrapment" made three years later, where Catherine Zeta Jones has to avoid a similar network of beams.
As is normal in films of this type the plot is not only extremely complex- indeed, at times it is so complex as to be virtually impossible to follow- but also, at times, extremely implausible. Hunt is played by Tom Cruise who, despite his superstar status, does not seem really suited to a Bond-style action hero, lacking the suave, debonair charm of, say, a Pierce Brosnan whose first Bond film, Goldeneye" had been made the previous year. (I must say, however, that Cruise is better here than he was to be in "Mission: Impossible II. The result is a film which is, in many ways, insubstantial, but also fast moving and often stylish and enjoyable. 6/10.

 

 

I grew up watching Mission Impossible in the 60"s in Liberia. Always loved it!?. 3:04 - 3:07 were definitely my favourite shots. Awsome as movie??????????????????????????????.

Yup, watched this just before answering my greeting with Uncle Sam

Oho mission impossible. These days pubg addicted players is going out of way ?? blocking the bridge. Anyone got this video on your recommendation in 2020. Just came back after watching the WHO WOULD NOT LIKE TO WATCH SUCH A MASTERPIECE.????????. Tom Cruise is 57 years old! He runs more miles then me at age 18! Lol. Dis is the best intro scene that i have ever seen for a hero. 1:37 Oh, Hollywood. Lol. What is the real name of these movies?Can"t find it. Any one help Me My Fb id : Kawserahmedifran. That was cool, back in the days? D Oh wow. Is this the same bridge in Truelies. 2:48 Old lady come on son you can do it, ??????????. For Tom Cruise fans and non-fans alike. This wonderful thriller, is so well crafted, that it took my breath away. Many people (even profession film critics! didn"t understand it. Perhaps it is too well written. Yes, it is complex. Yes, it is written for people with an attention span greater than a 3 year old"s - you MUST pay attention; but it DOES make sense. Every single second of the film is important. Director Brian De Palma gives us the unexpected, at every turn. His visuals, as always, are exciting. The entire cast is fine; but it is De Palma"s movie, all the way. One of the best film"s of the 90"s.

Love this series when it was aired from the goverment tv stations back black n white

Everybodys speaking ‘bout how he climbs the rock its so fuckin amazing but nobody ever thought. How does he get down. Does anyone else say that if they went skydiving that they wouldn"t be scared but in their head they know that if they actually went skydiving, they would freak out and probably have a panic attack? just me? ok... I wish Henry"s hairline was fuller. I mean accomplished. I love the hand wave at the end as they fly away on heli haha.
