In the realm of action-packed cinema, Mission Impossible movies have always stood out like a sore thumb - in a good way. From the nifty spy gadgets and exotic locales to the cloak-and-dagger twists and cheesy McGuffins, these films have it all. But let's be honest, folks, we all know what we're really here for - the man, the myth, the legend himself, Tom Cruise. This bloke has done it all, from dangling off planes to holding his breath longer than humanly possible. And if that's not enough to get your heart racing, how about climbing the tallest skyscraper or riding motorcycles off massive cliffs? It's like watching a real-life superhero in action, I tell you.
But it's not just about the big stunts with Cruise and his team. Oh no, there's a constant supply of practical action excellence throughout the series that keeps you on the edge of your seat. The craft and discipline that oozes out of every chase scene, fist fight, and explosion is nothing short of spectacular. And let's not forget the behind-the-scenes footage that will make your jaw drop. This is modern cinema at its finest, folks.
And let's not forget the evolution of Mission Impossible stunts over the past 30 years. It all started with Cruise's relentless pursuit to reboot the iconic TV series back in 1992. A crucial dinner with Steven Spielberg and Brian De Palma set the stage for the first movie, and the rest is history. De Palma's slow burn style in the first film called for a modest budget, but Cruise had other plans. He wanted something big, something flashy to cement his action bonafides. And boy, did he deliver. The explosive restaurant scene in the first movie nearly got Cruise killed, but that didn't stop him from pushing the boundaries even further.
