A subjective top 6 of the most impressive cacades made by Tom Cruise himself during the broadcast of Mission Impossible 2 this July 3, 2018 on NRJ12 at 8:55 p.m.
Knife Fighting - Mission Impossible II
During a knife fight with the villain, the latter stabs him with a stab that stops a fraction of a millimeter from Tom Cruise's eye. Contrary to appearances, the scene is not rigged. The knife was held by a cable at the right length which allowed Dougray Scott, interpreter of the villain, to deliver his blow with the blade at full power. If the math had been wrong or the cable had broken, Cruise would, for sure, have been killed. To watch this amazing fight again,
Flying - Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation
It was, not long ago, the most dangerous stunt performed by Tom Cruise. This is the sequence from the movie Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation, where the actor takes off with a jumbo jet ... outside the device. A breathtaking scene to watch again by clicking here. The actor, still held by lifelines later erased, effectively ran on a wing of a four-engine Airbus A400 M and made several takeoffs outside the plane. Filin certainly, but at 300 km / h, anything, mini-debris or bird could have killed Tom Cruise during the flights of the device at more than 1500 m of altitude.
Helicopter Acrobatics - Mission: Impossible - Fallout
In the new Mission: Impossible, which will be released on August 1, 2018, Tom Cruise attempts mind-blowing aerobatics as he flies - obviously himself - a helicopter pursued by an enemy aircraft. The communication of the film tries to make believe that Tom Cruise became an expert pilot - it is true - in a few weeks ... which on the other hand is false. In fact, stunt coordinator Wade Eastwood, who co-prepared the famous streak with the star, explains what really happened at Empire. Tom Cruise, even while filming Jack Reacher in 2011, wanted to learn to fly to achieve "the ultimate chopper streak". For years, Tom Cruise trained, especially with Wade Eastwood, especially after the filming of Rogue Nation before he could perform stunts actually worthy of the best pilots. Wade Eastwood: “I've worked with Tom for years and this streak as well as the very high altitude parachute jump [also in Fallout] are the most physically and mentally exhausting things I've seen him do. the limit."
Insane Escalation - Mission: Impossible - Ghost protocol
In a streak that will be remembered, Tom Cruise actually climbed the tallest tower in the world, the Burj Khalifa (828m) in Dubai. After having accomplished this anthology stunt alone, Tom Cruise admitted that he had not sufficiently anticipated the force of the air currents and found himself involuntarily "slammed" on the windows of the building by the force of the wind. A sequence to review by clicking here.
Frenzied Pursuit - Jack Reacher
Jack Reacher is not Tom Cruise's greatest success and that's a shame, because the actor, alone at the wheel, has a magnificent and spectacular "old-fashioned" car chase. In other words, with zero digital special effects. Cruise, performing his own stunts in a beefed-up Chevrolet Chevelle SS, allowed director Christopher McQuarrie to shoot up close. Even if something went wrong, the car accidentally stalled at the end of a first race, the actor was able to get it back on track so quickly that the director kept hold.

Motorcycle chase - Knight & day
A pursuit not entirely carried out by Tom Cruise, but the actor wanted to make several strong sequences especially when his character on a motorcycle, rushes at full speed through a mass of (real) bulls.
