It’s hard not to think about when learning the details of how the various sequences were made – like the revelation that the actor found himself breathing carbon dioxide while making Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning.
Also featuring the wonderful talents of Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Hayley Atwell, Vanessa Kirby, Esai Morales, Pom Klementieff, Shea Whigham, and Henry Czerny (all reprising their respective roles from from Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning), the upcoming Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning will see Ethan Hunt and his fellow agents once again try to defy extreme odds and try to stop an artificial intelligence from dominating the world.
It’s noted in the piece that the Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning action sequence was shot in an 8.5 million litre water tank (about 2.2 million gallons) that was on a gimbal so that the production could simulate Ethan Hunt getting caught up in an undertow.
While I understand that extreme safety precautions are taken on sets when it comes to shooting stars doing their own stunts, it’s still pretty incredible that Tom Cruise has survived all of the Mission: Impossible movies.
