WyattSheepMask Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Is the next one the one that’s being co-released with Karl Pilkington’s spinoff movie with Ted Danson in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fog Dude Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 The most iconic scene from the first film blatantly rips off The Wrong Trousers (which deservedly won more Oscars and was nominated for fewer Razzies). Apart from that, the only thing I know about the series is that Simon Pegg has somehow got himself involved in the recent ones, because I've seen the trailers which give away all the least bad bits anyway. Two friends of mine went to see the latest instalment today. You couldn't have paid me to join them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not a fan of Tom Cruise the person (All that Scientology nonsense), but he has been on fire film wise for a while now. Edge of Tomorrow especially. But this series seems to be a rare one where each film has either been better or equally as good since Mission Impossible 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well fuck off out of a Mission: Impossible thread and go and post in something you are interested in then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair point. I miss a lot of the film discussion because it's all in a megathread, so thanks for separating it out, but... why start with this particular franchise? I really don't see how you and Keith can turn your noses up at Marvel films but sing the praises of a mindless series of stunts just because the characters aren't from comic books. It's an inconsistent, selective kind of snobbery. EDIT: Because I'm a pedant even against myself, I'm compelled to add that the above isn't technically true. But you get the idea.

Keith Houchen Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 I sing the praises BECAUSE they're a mindless series of stunts and because they aren't super heroes (I have no issue with comic books, I don't like super hero books or films) there is a chance of peril and danger.

cobra_gordo Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 I love the Mission Impossible films. They're up there with the Fast and Furious franchise for something that I'll always revert to watching if I've got a couple of hours to kill and can't decide what else I fancy. I've got a real soft spot for 2 because I went to see it at the cinema on my first ever date. It's also got the awesome Metallica song "I Disappear" over the end credits and there's that bit where Tom Cruise says "DAMN YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL". I've only ever seen 3 once and I don't remember much about it. It seems to be the one that's never on TV or on Netflix for some reason. The last two were fantastic though, that prison escape scene from Ghost Protocol is wonderful. Give this a look. Not sure if anybody on here watches Honest Trailers, this is one of my favourites of theirs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Lorne Malvo Posted July 26, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted July 26, 2018 That scene in Ghost Protocol where Cruise escapes the Kremlin then transforms from Russian officer into American tourist by flipping his jacket inside out is one of the coolest things in cinema ever.

Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted July 26, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted July 26, 2018 Have we mentioned Rebecca Ferguson yet? If not, Rebecca Ferguson, Rebecca Ferguson, Rebecca Ferguson, Rebecca Ferguson, Rebecca Ferguson. She is bloody tremendous in GP. A lovely blend of a great character, well acted and, well, woof!

Sky Movies currently have one of their channels dedicated to Tom cruise. MI:2 was on a number of times. Which one is it where Ethan has awoken from being drugged then proceeds to drive a BMW through , I think, Morocco? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted July 26, 2018 Moderators Share Posted July 26, 2018 So... Jason Bourne or Ethan Hunt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted July 26, 2018 Awards Moderator Share Posted July 26, 2018 I saw the first MI film at the time, and I don't know if I've seen it since, so I don't remember much (I must have been about 8 when I saw it). I've seen the fourth one (the Brad Bird one) which I quite enjoyed. I haven't seen any of the others. I'd like to. Without having to buy a boxset, where's the best place to find them? I was sure Netflix had them all on but they must have taken them off for the new one coming out in cinemas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Hunt. Although I wouldn't mind being Lucky Pierre with the two of them. (Not gay) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
