@@deluxereissuewrong. They definitely do. It’s just the plot of any specific one becomes irrelevant and repetitive if you compare them all together. But as stand alone films they all definitely have a plot
I can’t believe James would turn on his audience like this, does he not know 98% of the viewership are oil billionaires running cities in the desert? We get these 20 minutes once a week to relax and now James has turned on us all :(
Just do what I did to ease the pain, order another £50,000 bottle of Burgundy and pour half of it over one of your lady friends who respect your world-bestriding intelligence and definitely not your vast unearned wealth. ;-)
I love James' dedication to that stunt, I know there's nothing that would convince me to willingly wear those odd length capri pants that no one is able to look cool in. Thanks for the sacrifice Mr. Sunday Movies!!
There's no way there wasn't a cowboy switch for that stunt. Maybe as the door shut it wiped to a stunt performer. Such a dangerous and well executed stunt. Hundreds die every year attempting similar stunts... Most admittedly are birds.
I grew up on Dubai, I was probably about 10 or 11 when this came out. It was huge. Everyone saw it. Everyone had their own stories about who or what they saw being filmed. It stayed in cinemas for 3 or 4 months. It took probably about 2 weeks to film the Burj Khalifa climb bit. Pretty much every day you could see helicopters flying around and circling the building. As a kid it was really cool to just have that going on around you.
hey bro, I grew up in Dubai too! It's a soulless city, with big empty skyscrapers and emptier people living within them. A utopia in the desert built on sinking sand
The editors are so good. You guys have the best people. James credit to you for starting this podcast, knowing you’d have great chemistry with Mason and trusting that (that’s also a compliment to Mason) and then hiring talented people. Thank you for all the hours of entertainment
This was the first Mission Impossible movie that really got the “spy team” aspect right and felt like each character brought something special to the team, I really enjoyed that about this film. Also, I really like Paula Patton. In this, I hope she shows up in the future because her character was a lot of fun.
@@Thechickinaaronscar I am pretty sure Mission Impossible III is my favorite MI movie (I can't choose between Part III and Fallout), and I agree. But part four feels more like a team effort, while 3 focused a lot on Ethan's relationship, but I get your point. And don't forget Luthor in part 3.
Yeah, Ghost Protocol is where they hit on the magic formula which built on the spy-fi heist team elements of the first one, with the emotional beats of the third movie
Another fun fact is the number A113 (which is a reference to the classroom used by graphic design and character animation students at Cal Arts) makes three appearances throughout the film. The first is on the side of Hanaway's ring in the flashback sequence, the second is verbally as Ethan's agent ID that he recites through the phone after he escapes from the hospital and the third is on one of the gloves that Ethan uses to scale the building in Dubai. During that scene, the line “Blue equals glue, red equals dead” was actually improvised on set by Simon Pegg who had apparently been binge-watching the Mission: Impossible revival series from the late 80s/early 90s and decided to rework a similar line of dialogue from the first episode of season 3 which involved a plot to unleash a genetic virus capable of destroying a nation's total wheat harvest. This led to some members of the production team jokingly referring to the movie as Blue Harvest which coincidentally was also the working title of the 1977 film Star Wars.
The unmasking reveal was because the ploy was to give Wistrum the actual codes so that he would lead them to Hendricks. The reveal that it was actually Hendricks in the hotel with them meant they lost that play. And I typed this out but nobody's gonna care anyway because Tom Cruise is still saving cinema. Brad Bird did great with this one. Excellent balance of humor and action. Probably my second favorite next to Rogue Nation.
Truly a beautiful thing to see a UA-camr so dedicated to his craft to he would risk his life to do the stunt in this video, god bless you Mr Sunday James!
This film is my favorite in the series, wish we saw Paula Patton more in the series and I love how Mason brought up how her character was named Agent Carter 12 years before Hayley Atwell appeared in Dead Reckoning.
Paula was really good, I hate that she hasn't been brought back. It makes no sense cause everyone has come back. Must be something going on we don't know about
I love how you guys do trilogies and don't do the entire series' in their entirety. Keeps things fresh and also isn't to hard to jump back into a series after 3 weeks of another one .
The color of Ethan's suit was grown from an African flower. The flower produced a unique shiny blue that Tom saw and insisted that it be used. However due to how rare the flower is it had to be grown and harvested to get enough to make the suit. This led to the working title of this movie being Blue Harvest.
I love how they don't even mention the plot in this video. Just like the franchise at this point where they stopped caring about the plot and just focused on the stunts.
I see the Simon Pegg and Tom Cruise relationship to be more brotherly than father-son, like the athletic brother watching out for the nerdy, indoor brother.
I love the banter between Jason and Mason. This was the entry in the Mission Impossible franchise that took things next level, whilst still retaining the rogue agent elements first set up in the first movie and the last a different director would direct the then new entry in the franchise.
Star Trek did the same thing with Worf. Need an alien to come across as a credible threat? Have it throw Worf across the bridge. Oh apparently there's even a TV Trope called The Worf Effect.
Ghost Protocol is actually my favourite Mission Impossible film, I was expecting a real dip in quality, but actually it was what showed this series is different than others and what set it apart from other franchises.
Same, i had lower expectations, but Ghost Protocol showed me they are not playing around at all, or doing a cash grab. I never expected it to be as good as it was. They don’t make actors like Tom Cruise anymore.
@@BonJoviBeatlesLedZep could have sworn I wrote dad. I think I was going to write something about James giving the show to his son Maso but then switched it astound.
I had no attachment to this franchise since this was the first one I watched, and I knew Tom Cruise survived this one since there were sequels... but that moment when he fell while climbing the building made my heart skip a beat. Thank you for recreating it so perfectly. Just incruisable!
No more Rodney, no more blue harvest, no more green trivia... How can this be Caravan of Garage if there are no super specific running jokes that turn new viewers off?
This is for Ben and Laurence. Love the editing in this one with the misdirect to the action sequences being the spectacular thing Tom Cruise has done only for it to be revealed James is talking about the sketch. I even had the thought that this would come up in the video when I first started watching and you still tricked me in the moment.
This is one of my favorites and for me the moment in the series when it actually started working. It was serious where it needed to be and properly goofy about stuff that is just kind of ridiculous. I also liked how they kept failing at the magic masks and had to find workarounds. And while Maggie q is lovely, Paula Patton in this one has my tongue rolling out cartoon wolf style.
My uncle and aunt went to a film festival in Dubai (my uncle worked in Hollywood) and they said it was the creepiest place they ever went to because everyone seemed a little too nice and phony and you get the impression you’re always being watched. But then they ran into Tony Shalub and his wife in the hotel restaurant, whom they had never met before, and Tony invited them to join him and his wife for breakfast because my uncle and aunt were the only other Americans there. So they had breakfast with Tony Shalub and his wife in Dubai. And this was like at the height of “Monk”, too. Tony Shalub is a very nice person apparently. And then later, my uncle was talking with TJ Miller while Miller was working on the “Emoji” movie and Miller and his wife had just come back from Dubai and his wife was detained at the airport because she had drawn a mustache on the face of some guy on a magazine cover and I guess that guy was a government official or something. Nobody saw her do this and she kept the magazine so nobody saw it in the trash or something. But somehow they knew she did that to the face of a guy on a magazine that she still had in her possession and they questioned her for hours before finally releasing her and letting her go back to America. So they must have cameras everywhere in Dubai.
The only reason I saw this movie in theaters was because they showed the first 8 minutes of "The Dark Knight Rises" in between the trailers and this movie. I'm sure at least a 4th of that number should be accredited to this. 18:32
the cruise Hair talk will never get old. I could take an entire pod of just you guys talking through the hairstory of Tom Cruise. Give it to me cowards.
Mikel Nyquist played Micheal Blumquist in the Millinium trilogy. Those books and movies had just gotten popular. They were trying to cross him over to American cinema.
A fun piece of "reality" trivia for 'Rogue Nation' is that people evacuate their bowels when they die...therefore, after Ethan is resuscitated by Ilsa post water-safe heist he does that entire motorcycle chase with poopy-pants. 'Mission: Unpleasant'. Thanks guys for another great take.
I need the boys editing to get a friggin raise. Writers strike these bad boys and get them more money. I need a video of just James and Mason cut outs. Let's get this going. Amazing. All amazing.
Really loved this one. The action scene with all the cars is probably the most intense version “oh he got the thing… Oh no! he lost it! Oh, he’s got it again. Oh no!…”
I see you’ve started looking after yourself! Well done, lad! (The goat one, can’t tell with the fancy beardy one because he’s always to beset with his fancy accoutrements)
Mission Impossible where they just walk into a bathroom and all of the top secret files they are looking for are sitting out in boxes next to the toilet, perhaps?
In regards to using the gadgets, I want to go back to one of your videos that you guys covered on goldeneye. How the car was introduced, but it actually wasn’t used for any action scenes. Definitely caught me off guard
This might be my favorite, though Fallout is very good. I saw this on IMAX because they had an extended preview of Dark Knight Rises, and i’m glad i did. I don’t like heights to begin with, so that scene climbing the Burj Khalifa made my palms sweat - still does, if i’m being honest.
Thanks to abandoned Old Canon Star Wars for ensuring I got that "Lu'uke" Skywalker reference. Anytime a person is a clone in ANYTHING, my brain always throws that info back up... Unusable, out-dated information that I can never get rid of, living rent-free in my brain forever. :D
Gosh I took a bite of ice cream and then proceeded to spit out said ice cream right when James did his stunt! High quality work sir, Tom would be proud!
You didn't talk about how this was kind of the first film to really emphasize how Ethan Hunt is crazy. They leaned into how we see Tom Cruz as crazy driven to do all these incredible stunts and made that Ethans character arc with how maniacly driven he was to get to the point he could say "mission accomplished!"
I think of all the films, this one still remains my favorite just because it is the one I feel did the concept of the IMF the best. As a team taking on impossible missions, here being to stop the breakout of nuclear war because a man feels the world will be stronger for it when they rise from the ashes of it. Ethan isn't completely running the show and that building sequence is still tense even after all these years.
You can tell when they like a movie when they don’t really discuss the plot.
I like their reviews specially because they don’t just do a plot summary with some jokes thrown in. It feels much more natural and entertaining.
Yessss that’s it
@@deluxereissuewrong. They definitely do. It’s just the plot of any specific one becomes irrelevant and repetitive if you compare them all together. But as stand alone films they all definitely have a plot

It’s almost like they want us to spend our ungodly amount of wealth to help. But surely that must be a joke right?
😮
I love Ollie’s dedication to the outfit bits. No barking. Perfect staring. That dog is aces.
Ollie is the best. Also she loves Maso the most.
Ollie just constantly wondering, why hooman do that
Do Australians know about Little Hobo or Harry the dirty dog?
Didn't Ollie bark when he did the cartwheel though? Or was that zippy? Has zippy made an appearance yet???
@@EasyCure0not to be that guy - but I just checked and she doesnt. However it was a delight to watch again and recommend you all do the same.
I love James' dedication to that stunt, I know there's nothing that would convince me to willingly wear those odd length capri pants that no one is able to look cool in. Thanks for the sacrifice Mr. Sunday Movies!!
There's no way there wasn't a cowboy switch for that stunt. Maybe as the door shut it wiped to a stunt performer. Such a dangerous and well executed stunt. Hundreds die every year attempting similar stunts... Most admittedly are birds.
James loves Content too much to use a stunt double
Brad Birds?
You’re not supposed to call them birds these days
@@isaacsmith6913ha!
Nah, that was definitely a stunt performer with a cgi face. That is definitely the body of someone who hasn't had two kids.
James' commitment to the bit in his sleep deprivationed state is proof of his Podcaster status
also proof of his let’s player status (only on big sandwich)
@@zeywop thanks for reminding me! I forgot they started that
Podcaster as a Verb! Love it
I'm really glad to see my big sandwich subscription is helping to fund these high budget, high octane stunts from James. Worth every penny.

The first did as well, but more in the "spy team that don't trust each other and are constantly double-crossing" kind of way.
3 and 1 are my favorites
Yeah, Ghost Protocol is where they hit on the magic formula which built on the spy-fi heist team elements of the first one, with the emotional beats of the third movie

You got me with that one
I love the fact that is actually legitimately the plot of S3E1 of the reboot show and the episode was actually titled “Deadly Harvest” 😂
This was good
A113 is also a reference commonly used in Pixar btw

I really want all the old cast to come back for the last film: Paula, Magie Q, Jonathan RM. Just to catch up with the old crew.
@@mojo782 They did ask Paula Patton and Maggie Q back for Rouge Nation but weren't free [which is also why Maggie Q didn't return for Ghost Protocol].
The Kremlin heist scene is definitely in my top 5 movie heists
Tom Cruise still has it

Fell for it again!
That 'BIG STUNT'! James is so death-defying!
Absolute dreamboat!
My favorite part of this movie is when Ethan Hunt just exclaimed mission accomplish when in fact the mission wasn't accomplished.
I love how they don't even mention the plot in this video. Just like the franchise at this point where they stopped caring about the plot and just focused on the stunts.
6 definitely did not have a plot.
5 kinda sorta
James and Mason are funny but damn the editing in these videos are so on point
2:36 I love that “Tom Cruise” and “Ethan Hunt” are used interchangeably
Poor guy that yells Rodney has gone to the blue harvest in the sky…
Btw u absolute madlad what a EPIC stunt
I see the Simon Pegg and Tom Cruise relationship to be more brotherly than father-son, like the athletic brother watching out for the nerdy, indoor brother.
Pegg said he liked the idea Benji was inspired by helping Ethan in 3 to become a field agent and looks up to him very much as a big brother.
The ad break right before the reveal of the working title was so intentially hilarious as the expectations grew! Always amazing!
"Get that feeling in your nuts." So flipping true!!! 😂😂😂
I rewatched the film about a year ago, and the lurge you get when he steps out the window is real.

18:00 James says $145,000,000 but it says $45,000,000 on screen. But a quick Google search suggests 145 is correct.
A rare Mr Sunday Movies L
This is my absolute favorite in the franchise. Brad Bird was the perfect person to direct one of these films. It's immaculately done.
This is a really good one. Although the first one and the one with Philip Seymour Hoffman are really good too.
6:23 "I do love that Kremlin infiltration"
Next time you guys take a break, we know what you'll be doing. ;-)
Ben definitely missed a chance to edit archer with a mustache into the kremlin scene
A potential 2028 SpaceX mission where Elon Musk personally goes up to recover the frozen corpse of Tom Cruise doesn’t even seem that weird anymore.
The editing on these videos invariably elevates the audio! Great work.
I like the perfectly placed add-spot right before the reveal of that "working title" piece of trivia.
Yo,the editor is prolly my favorite part of all these videos. Very talented guy

Mr Sunday Movies are now in sync with Pretty Much It - and that makes me so hecking happy ❤
Actually Jeremy Renner wasn't another character and WAS Jason Bourne.
I got you, James ;)
Mikel Nyquist played Micheal Blumquist in the Millinium trilogy. Those books and movies had just gotten popular. They were trying to cross him over to American cinema.
I'm so excited you guys are doing the rest. Easily one of my favorite film series.
Paula Patton in this movie was an awakening for me
"The bomb went off in the Kremlin! I don't think that should've happened, actually."
hmm idk, sounds alright to me
Thank the Lord Jesus Christ. I've been waiting here in front my computer for MONTHS for them to do these before part 7. I was worried they forgot!
When the series started being 9/10 or better.
Ghost Protocol 10/10
Rogue Nation 9/10
Fallout 10/10
Dead Reckoning Pt1... TBA, but obviously 9+/10
15:17 With the music choice, I'm picturing James and Maso both doing a little calypso dance while reading trivia

The DePalma one is just so ingrained in me and holds up so well that I can’t really get stoked on the sequels.
Fair
"His hair is too John Woo."
Things I've never contemplated before... 🤣
I love these guys videos, they remind me of the talks me and my best friend would have before he passed.
Really loved this one. The action scene with all the cars is probably the most intense version “oh he got the thing… Oh no! he lost it! Oh, he’s got it again. Oh no!…”
I saw this in IMAX and was sweating during the tower climbing scene. It was intense !
Also!
I was watching Jake Straction 2 the other day and thought the prison break looked familiar.
This appears to be why.
I see you’ve started looking after yourself! Well done, lad! (The goat one, can’t tell with the fancy beardy one because he’s always to beset with his fancy accoutrements)
BIG STUNTS! MOVIES ARE REAL!
Holy crap. I was crying at that stunt. Amazing stuff. We have to get a super cut after they're all done.
Mission Impossible where they just walk into a bathroom and all of the top secret files they are looking for are sitting out in boxes next to the toilet, perhaps?
Is that the Donkey Kong Country theme playing during Green Trivia? You can’t fool me, Mr Sunday Movies
Lol thank you so much for the confirmation - I came to the comments just for this 😂
I started second guessing myself after I posted it but I’m glad I wasn’t the only one 😆
I would love to see James' kids face when he is filming himself doing the stunt
"Daddy, daddy, what the bloody hell are you doing!?"
The prison escape, the Kremlin, Dubai...you know what this is a solid movie from start to finish.
Easily the best of the series, and I love how they kind of went from here to make improved MI films.
They figured out the formula in 3. That’s when Tom Cruise started running in movies.
In regards to using the gadgets, I want to go back to one of your videos that you guys covered on goldeneye. How the car was introduced, but it actually wasn’t used for any action scenes.
Definitely caught me off guard
Really good CoG for a really good movie.
That climbing the building stunt is the best stunt we’ve got in MI and from James’ sleep deprived body
The fact that the background image at 1:00 was my apartment view for a year makes me entirely too happy.
James missed out on the opportunity for his stunt to be drawing a perfect sketch on his hand 😔
This is the film that solidified Tom Cruise having no sense of fear.
Cruise actually took an ice pick to his amygdala so he could continue to do more and more insane stunts without having any hesitation or fear.
This might be my favorite, though Fallout is very good. I saw this on IMAX because they had an extended preview of Dark Knight Rises, and i’m glad i did. I don’t like heights to begin with, so that scene climbing the Burj Khalifa made my palms sweat - still does, if i’m being honest.
Mission impossible 2's hair is cinematic perfection quite frankly - best tom cruise hair HANDS DOWN
This is a glorious entry in the series. The building stunt is my favorite in any of them.
The greatest crossover ever: James directing Mission: Super Easy, Barely an Inconvenience. I have an idea for the screenwriter.
I love the theme of failing technologies throughout it. Brad Bird man…great underrated film.
Brad Birdman
The Best One Of The Franchise So Far. The Tower Climbing Scene is one of the best action scenes ever.
Thanks to abandoned Old Canon Star Wars for ensuring I got that "Lu'uke" Skywalker reference. Anytime a person is a clone in ANYTHING, my brain always throws that info back up... Unusable, out-dated information that I can never get rid of, living rent-free in my brain forever. :D
I'm just so happy to see 'The Misfits' used as scaffolding for one of these gags.
My laugh at James' stunt, sounded like a squeaky door.
Gosh I took a bite of ice cream and then proceeded to spit out said ice cream right when James did his stunt! High quality work sir, Tom would be proud!
Darn I was really hoping the stunt would be that he draw Mason as fast as he can on his hand!
Damn... missed opportunity there for sure!
The use of Donkey Kong Country music, didn’t go unnoticed and very much appreciated

Ethan isn't completely running the show and that building sequence is still tense even after all these years.
Living on a Pier might be my favorite Aerosmith song
wow james really did his research on this one.
