The Mission Impossible series of movies is best known for its increasingly crazy stunt work. But, I'm sure many will wonder, as Tom Cruise gets older, why is he trying so many crazy stunts? In fact, several elements in the context of the series can explain this.
Following the success of Mission Impossible 6, Mission Impossible 7 is also about to be released. Judging from the behind-the-scenes photos of this movie, the quirky stunts and action scenes of this movie will also become more and more crazy. Don't forget, there will be an eighth film after that, and it can be said that the trajectory of the series has always been in this direction.
Back in 2000, Mission Impossible 2 surpassed many Hollywood movies in terms of stunts. At the time, Tom Cruise, played by Ethan Hunt, performed a solo performance on the cliffs of the desert. In addition to the second film, ethan Hunter is also doing Tess' stunts in Mission Impossible 4. He wore gloves to climb the tallest building in the world. In fact, what I am saying is only in addition to some of the more memorable stunts in this movie, in fact, in the development process of this movie, it is always every time to break through themselves and invest in some larger stunts.
In this regard, the Mission Impossible series is much like the previous Fast and Furious series, each striving to surpass the previous one, and it is undeniable that the two films have very different approaches to achieving this goal. The stunts and action scenes of the Mission Impossible series still respect the concepts of physics and gravity. The Fast & Furious series, however, is more like a superhero movie. Still, Ethan Hunt's adventures have become more extreme each time, in large part, thanks to the executive producers of the series.
Tom Cruise is known to be a notoriously unchallenged person, especially in the Mission Impossible series, where Tom Cruise insisted on completing stunts on his own, making Ethan Hunt the most iconic character of Tom Cruise. Even though, he's been involved in so many blockbusters. If Ethan Hunt hadn't sped off the roof and jumped from 500 feet, it wouldn't have been what we know as Dish 7. After all, in so many Hollywood blockbusters, it is estimated that only a few actors like Tom Cruise himself personally challenge these difficult stunts. Especially considering that in a superhero movie, behind a superhero actor, there will be many stuntmen. Tom Cruise, on the other hand, completed these challenges alone. For that alone, I have to admire him.
In addition to the Mission Impossible series, Tom Cruise's action scenes of challenging death can also be seen in other film careers, such as Top Gun 2. However, in the "Mission Impossible" series of movies, his incredible stunt performances are the most prominent. In short, this movie is like its title. I believe that in the future Mission Impossible movies, Tom Cruise will go into a crazier way, and he will surpass himself even more. After all, as Tom Cruise says, it's his own mission, and he's constantly surpassing himself.
