like,

"Listen Tom, this is literally one of the most insane things we've ever asked anyone to do; much less a legitimate movie star..."

"Great, how's it tie into the movie climax?"

"It...doesn't. It literally has nothing to do with the actual movie."

"Oh. But I get to hang from the side of a plane, right? If so, that's good enough. Let's film it."

Though Bond movies do the same thing. (Glad to have the filming locations though. New Zealand = hell, yeah) -- nm - Roger More Mar 20, 12:24 2

  - Sure, I was talking about having the money shot in the first 5 minutes. Skiing off a mountain with a Union Jack parachute, etc -- nm - Roger More Mar 20, 12:33
MI:3-5 is easily a Top 5 action movie trilogy. -- nm - Shaun Mar 20, 12:24 6
- *nods* I think I prefer #4 because the Burj Khalifa is just so great an action sequence but they are all 3 great. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 20, 12:28 5
  - What would you class as the big action sequence in 3? The run? The bridge attack? -- nm - Roger More Mar 20, 12:36 4
    - The bridge attack -- the missile was the advertising key image. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 20, 12:37 3
      - Yeah - the big sequences (to me) are kind of unmemorable - the helicopter chase through the wind farm, Tarzan-ing the Shanghai skyline, etc - Roger More Mar 20, 12:48 2
        
        Michael Phelps? :) -- nm - oblique, SuperFeud Champion Mar 20, 12:49 1
