You literally can’t go an entire day without a death-defying stunt performed by Tom Cruise. Earlier on he was falling backwards out of a plane to thank audiences for the way they embraced Tom Gun: Maverick, and now the big-screen saviour is at it again in this mind-boggling behind-the-scenes featurette in which he leaps from a motorcycle into a base jump from atop a Norwegian cliff face for Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning. Check it out here…
Once again directed by Christopher McQuarrie, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One features M:I returnees Tom Cruise, Rebecca Ferguson, Vanessa Kirby, Simon Pegg, Ving Rhames, Frederick Schmidt and Henry Czerny, along with new additions Esai Morales (Titans), Hayley Atwell (Agent Carter), Pom Klementieff (Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2), Shea Whigham (Boardwalk Empire), Rob Delaney (Deadpool 2), Mark Gatiss (The League of Gentlemen), Indira Varma (Game of Thrones), Charles Parnell (The Last Ship), Cary Elwes (The Princess Bride), and Greg Tarzan Davis (Top Gun: Maverick).
Tom Cruise teases another death-defying airborne stunt for Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning
Tom Cruise is no stranger to performing crazy stunts on any number of his films and he just teased another major death-defying airborne stunt for Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One and Part Two.
In the video, Cruise is seen in a helicopter and thanks fans for their support for Top Gun: Maverick’s huge success along with the announcement it will be available for streaming on Paramount+ starting December 22nd. He also says he’s on location in South Africa filming scenes for both parts of Dead Reckoning before Christopher McQuarrie, the writer and director of Cruise’s last four Mission: Impossible films (including the two-part Dead Reckoning), tells Cruise they need to get this shot and he simply… falls out of the helicopter, calm as clam, with the camera following him down.
It’s just the latest crazy stunt Cruise has done for Dead Reckoning after hanging from a plane yet again, driving a motorcycle off a cliff and fighting atop a moving train. By now one has to ask just how much crazier these films can get?
