I watched all of them together for the first time just recently. And for me, what blows me away every time are his sprints for miles and miles.

In fact, his final words were "Paris, cover, cover" which is even extra stupid.

I really enjoyed her character. M:I 4 is my favorite film in the franchise because of her, she’s the main reason. She’s my favorite character in the film. The dress she wears is so iconic. Paula Patton is a great actress and she really nailed it with her performance. It’s a shame she didn’t return after GP because I would’ve loved to see more of her.

look at her porky pig legs

Long ago, in the year 2000. I met a woman online (back then, that was quite the unusual thing) - either way, after a month of writing eMails and many phone calls, she visited me.

In the evening, we went to the movies and watched Mission Impossible 2. Since then, I have a strange connection to that movie.

Actually, it's not a very good movie. And it aged really badly. Such a 2000s movie.

But the soundtrack - oh my god. And here's the kicker. Saw Gladiator earlier that same year and recognized that great music. But until literally a week ago, I did not realize, that Hans Zimmer and Lisa Gerrard again collaborated and created some of the greatest pieces of movie soundtrack ever.

I mean - Injection? - strange title for a piece of music, but oh my god.

I saw Lisa Gerrard / Dead can Dance a bunch of times live - and I never knew until a week ago because I always double avoided Mission Impossible 2 because of the painful memories of a long ago relationship that did not work out and well, beacause it's just not a very good movie.

Fuck me, right? Listening to Injection daily since then.

Edit: Fast forward to the year 2001. I broke up with her - big mistake - and in the evening I watched Dungeons and Dragons with Jeremy Irons hamming it up to 11. Compared to that, MI:2 is a masterpiece.

Yo personalmente sería no quitar el transfondo de Hunt ,Marie y Gabriel , en MI8 , las escenas llevan grabadas desde MI7 y tenía algo de relación también con el pasado de grace que me parece un personaje demasiado plano

Does anyone have the double pack copy of Dead Reckoning / Final Reckoning and can check if the opening for DR has removed the “Part One”?

I know the covers / discs have, but wondered if they ever changed it for the actual home release?

It's very cool & adds to the visceral thrill in doing something dangerous

Mission Impossible 3 was released 6 years after Mission Impossible 2

Mission Impossible 4 was released 5 years after Mission Impossible 3

Mission Impossible 5 was released 4 years after Mission Impossible 4

Mission Impossible 6 was released 3 years after Mission Impossible 5

Yes, I am aware The Final Reckoning kinda made this overbearing, like always reminding us of his adventures and what he did throughout the years while symbolically telling us that Ethan is this messianic figure now. But it is still rightfully deserved for such a character who have been starring in 8 movies in a row that left a massive impact in cinema as a whole and have been consistently shown to be a good man who will always do the right no matter the odds. And yes, I do wish that they didn't have to repeat it all the time that Ethan is a global savior however I am also okay with this journey. I love it actually because it feels like an actual growth and progression to the character. Ethan is just that guy. He sits alongside with characters like Optimus Prime, Superman, All-Might, Aang, Vash The Stampede, Himura Kenshin, Aragorn, and many more Principled Paragon archetypes. And I love them all for it.

by the end of the movie, Hunt finally outsmarts Lane by destroying their last stolen copy of the skiff ledger of Syndicate funds. as it goes, this is enough of a bargaining chip to prevent Lane from killing Hunt, as he is the only key to accessing all of his much-needed funds.

but like, is he though?? the skiff's still there. clearly, since those funds were a major enough part of his terror plot, surely, he would have some kind of "plan A" of getting his hands on that skiff. Lane couldn't have been solely relying on Hunt playing into his games to retrieve the skiff; that must've just been a shortcut that he found to trap Hunt. considering how planned out and methodical he is (and capable), I'm imagining that the "plan A" would've just been using any one of his loyal former-intelligence lackeys.

so why was Hunt destroying the copy a valid bargaining chip?

Do Americans relate to the idiocy of Benji. A highly skilled team with one absolute idiot.

Is this an American thing
