Rob Hunter and Film School Rejects present 51 Things We Learned from the <\/a>Mission: Impossible – Fallout<\/a><\/em> Commentary<\/a>.\u00a0 Here are three of my favorites…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7.<\/strong>\u00a0They tested shorter cuts of the film per the studio\u2019s request, but each attempt saw the scores plummet. Cruise told them \u201cit doesn\u2019t matter how long it is, it matters how long it feels.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

17.<\/strong>\u00a0The HALO sequence saw them jumping out of the plane at 25,000 feet, and it\u2019s all done live in a single shot. The city lights below are added in post, but the jump and fall are 100% real. \u201cWe talked about this for a year. How are going to get this shot?\u201d The camera operator for the scene is wearing a camera mounted to the top of his own helmet, and the whole thing is a legitimately thrilling sequence. Here, I\u2019ll let a very excited and proud Cruise tell you about jumping out of the plane for the scene. \u201cNow he\u2019s backwards. He leaves backwards. I\u2019m coming right at him. Now I have to get from there I have to get within three feet, not two feet ten inches, not three feet and two inches. I have to be right at three feet to be in focus. Now I go past him in that and we had a window of three minutes to get that shot. Now I do this spin, now you\u2019re in my face,I\u2019m up on my back, he\u2019s going up and around. It really is a dance between the two of us. I had to always make sure that the sunset was on my left shoulder. Now we\u2019re traveling at 200 miles an hour at times toward the ground. I\u2019m coming in, it\u2019s like a sprint, boom, I have to hit him. When I hit him, I have to hit him, I don\u2019t know where I\u2019m gonna hit him on his body, I just have to try and take him out and down. And not break his neck, my neck, and not entangle the chutes, deploy his chute or my chute. Any of those things could have led to serious problems.\u201d They built the largest wind tunnel in the world to train and considered filming some of the sequence in there, but it didn\u2019t look real enough.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

27.<\/strong>\u00a0The \u201cwhat if\u201d sequence at 44:13 where they show the hijack and subsequent killing of dozens of police officers under the overpass was a concern as paparazzi and Parisian gawkers lined the other side of the river watching. They hung 300 feet of silk across the archways so that people wouldn\u2019t see police being murdered, and the unintentional but welcome effect is the \u201ceerie light\u201d across the scene.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
