How Tom Cruise Mastered the Vault Scene in MI:1 #behindthescenes

    You look at that shot. I’m going from the computer to the floor. I kept hitting my face and the take didn’t work and we’re running out of time. So, I went up to the stunt guys and I said, “Give me, you know, coins here.” Put pound coins in and I hung on the cables to see was I level. It was also very physical like straining them. Brian was like, “One more and I’m going to cut into it and do it.” And I said, “I can do it.” So, I went down, started the computer, went down on the floor, and I I didn’t touch. And I remember I was there. I was like, “Oh my gosh, I didn’t touch.” And I was holding it, holding it, sweating. And then he just keeps rolling and I just realize he is working it. He’s like, “We did it. We did it. I am not going to stop.” And I just hear him off camera and I start to howl and he goes, “All right, God.

    The famous MI:1 scene wasn’t just dangerous—it was tricky. Cruise found a low-tech fix that worked.

    1. this is also the movie wher they realy went for it with the knife to the eye scene, that close up is for real, the knife really is that close, and the actor really did jump and put all his weight on it, the only thing preventing it from getting burried inside his skull was a steel wire attached to the handle of the knife.
      or thats at least the story i heard for that scene.

    2. The knife to the eye seen a mission impossible two was probably even better. It was a knife attached to a string of some sort that stopped it just short of his eyeball.

    3. I always ask myself why people worship a terrible person that runs a cult and then I remembered the majority of the world are uneducated/religious
