Rob Hunter and Film School Rejects<\/a> present 25 Things We Learned from John Woo’s Mission Impossible 2<\/em> Commentary<\/a>.\u00a0 Here are three of my favorites…<\/p>\n

\n

2.<\/strong> He was concerned about competing with Brian De Palma\u2019s style, but Cruise was very adamant that he wanted Woo\u2019s style for the second film. \u201cHe loved Face\/Off, he loved all of my Hong Kong films.\u201d Cruise said his goal was to have each film \u2014 each \u201cepisode\u201d \u2014 be a different style from a different director. \u201cThat made me feel relaxed.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

7.<\/strong> Director and star clashed over some of the stunts as Woo wanted stunt doubles and Cruise was adamant about doing them himself. He told Woo he didn\u2019t like \u201ccheating\u201d and that it\u2019s too easy to spot when the actor is being doubled because of body movement, timing, etc. It didn\u2019t help that Woo is himself afraid of heights. \u201cI admire his courage.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

22.<\/strong> Cruise shared with Woo his love of Bruce Lee, so the director used that as inspiration for designing the end fight between Hunt and Ambrose.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
