I can still remember the goosebumps I got as a kid watching Tom Cruise scream at Jean Reno with rage. That is still my favorite part of the scene. I never knew trains went that fast in Europe, so this scene blew me away as a kid
@@hunterericson6782 If you actually read the comment he says "Hunt" referring to the character (the performance). Let us know if you need any more help.
This is what a true 3rd or 4th act of a movie is all about…feeling like you are lucky to witness it while feeing relieved that the hero survived by thinnest of margin
One of the best choreographed action scene I must say. Some over smart pals will come up with lot of mistakes here probably but considering the year of its release it's still one of the best. 😮😎👍🏻
It’s brilliant. A lot of people point out that the helicopter probably couldn’t have kept up with the train, but who cares? It’s a brilliant scene, a thrilling climax!
"Mr. Director, the whole scene with the TGV and the helicopter and the tunnel doesn't work, because of the overhead line" - "Who needs overhead lines, get rid of them..." 😂
Eh? Why would it take so long to get a close-up of a perfectly safe prop being slowly rotated a few inches from an actor? You do know that he didn't actually use a real, sharp helicopter blade but a prop moved by production crew off camera...? Either you're talking out your backside or someone in a behind the scenes was making things up.
In some ways CGI and digital compositing doesn't seem to have improved that much in the last twenty years or so. How good it is now mainly comes down to how much time and money is invested in it. You're absolutely right - if that's not enough, it can still look atrocious. There was obviously a lot of investment here. It does look incredibly good for 1996, and holds up very well now.
I miss the days when you didn’t see anything about a big summer film, until the trailer. They kept the project under tight wraps, and before the internet, that was possible. Than that trailer hit, and everyone was stoked.
Yeah it's like whenever I see a trailer in the cinema now, it's like "Trailer 1" of a movie whose third trailer I've already seen twice on UA-cam. Not exciting anymore.
When did that ever happen? I remember reading Starlog and Premiere magazine back in the 80s trying to learn everything about upcoming movies before they came out. The information was out there, it was just harder to get to before the internet was invented.
I like how Dead Reckoning Part 1 paid tribute to the first movie with having Kittridge return, Brian De Palma’s closeup paranoia cinematography, and having a final fight set on a train.
I doubt it. Kittridge was more of a pain for Ethan. He is ‘by the book’ but to a fault in many ways. In the end I think Kittridge will be secretly helping Ethan and his team out while pretending to be in his way on the surface.
I agree but Ghost Protocol was so good. Them having their plans constantly fall apart and them reacting to the impossible. The only thing missing was more Rhames
Kreiger trying to kill Ethan with the helicopter blade always creeps me out, especially with that gleeful smile of his. 3:59 Always love how Ethan looks back and was like 'I'm still alive? That was close!'
There were several times in this scene where Ethan was screwed and Krieger ironically saved his life a couple of them. If Krieger doesn't do the quick thinking to fly the attached chopper into the tunnel, then it crashes and explodes outside the tunnel with the debris probably killing both Ethan and Jim in the process. Then if Krieger just slows the chopper down instead of trying to kill Ethan with the blades, there's no way Ethan would have been able to jump onto the chopper and he'd instead be stuck on a speeding train hanging on for dear life while Jim and Krieger get away.
Even though this is obviously so over the top, the way it's been shot looks so much more "grounded" and realistic compared to everything shown in the latest one. I wish we would have gotten more movies like the first MI. MI3 comes close though.
Read the script, Hunt was supposed to scream "HASTA LASAGNA" right before the explosion, just like Jack had told him. I wonder if they filmed that take.
When Tom Cruise pastes the explosive on the helicopter, was he commiting suicide but by pure chance the explosion threw him back on the train, Or did he perfectly calculate that the blast of the explosion would throw him back on the train ?
The Channel Tunnel is only 1 bore per direction, so 1 x 1 track tunnel to france and vice versa. For safety reasons the 2 tunnels are separated with only a very few crossovers and a walking safety / mantenance access tunnel
Y'all complaining about this as if you haven't seen Bullet Train 💀 Just Enjoy the movie people !! This is few of the franchise where even though it seems illogical but entertains us for whole 2+ hours
God i love this movie so damn much and i always rewatch this whole train sequence I was truly hoping dead reckoning had something semi close to this scene in the final act but you just can't top this at all
To be fair this is a bullet train the one in MI7 is the orient express an older train who’s speed isn’t any where near this one that’s why they were able to stand up and fight on top of train
They had multiple call backs to the original the train set piece with a deal going down the Dutch camera angles that were prominent in the first film and some other things

Hi everyone! What grade (out of 10) would you give this video?
10
Three fitty
10 OUT OF 10
10
100
It's 2023 and this scene is still fresh for today's standards.
because it shows its really dangerous when you're on top of a high speed train
It's looks old and boring
@eduardfonsek9406 You gotta be under the age of 13 then lol. Kids can't appreciate true classics
@@eduardfonsek9406 Yeah they didn't orbit the moon in the end. Lame.
I love it when the iconic theme music starts to play as he gets the upper hand.
4:11 This
This was missing in the latest film.
@@kulio1214It does play at the end of the Rome Chase but yeah it definitely could’ve been utilized in the final act.
I can still remember the goosebumps I got as a kid watching Tom Cruise scream at Jean Reno with rage. That is still my favorite part of the scene. I never knew trains went that fast in Europe, so this scene blew me away as a kid
still not fast enough to outrun a helicopter.
@@Joshua40 lol, this response lol
Actually is very fake. TGV trains are allowed to run only in high speed lines. Also TGV is electric and there is no catenary in the movie.
@jlassh
More like a yell of triumph. He connected the helicopter’s hook to the train, making Phelps escape Impossible.
Love Hunt's battle cry after hooking the helicopter. That was personal.
Same here. He’s been betrayed & his friends have been murdered, he’s super pissed.
Battle cry ??? Little tommy is playing make believe in an air conditioned green screen studio.once again
@@hunterericson6782 All the way to the bank.
@@hunterericson6782 If you actually read the comment he says "Hunt" referring to the character (the performance). Let us know if you need any more help.
@@hunterericson6782 Found the soycuck Biden voter taking out his frustrations on the world
If Tom was filming this sequence in the modern days he would totally be doing it for real and with no CGI
He kind of did for the newest one, real rooftop train fight and crash
😂😂😂😂emotional damage
He would probably die
And got decapitated like those 2 poor kids in that 80s film.
This is what a true 3rd or 4th act of a movie is all about…feeling like you are lucky to witness it while feeing relieved that the hero survived by thinnest of margin
When the mission impossible soundtrack kicks in and you have to pull off something impossible and awesome...
and more than 20 years later, tom cruise did this scene for real
Well, sort of . . .
One of the best choreographed action scene I must say. Some over smart pals will come up with lot of mistakes here probably but considering the year of its release it's still one of the best. 😮😎👍🏻
It’s brilliant. A lot of people point out that the helicopter probably couldn’t have kept up with the train, but who cares? It’s a brilliant scene, a thrilling climax!
Which movie it is
@@Homoeopathicore it's written in the description. 👍🏻
" Red light , GREEN LIGHT ! " My friend and I would quote that SO MUCH!❤
Meanwhile in MI fallout 20 years later the guy is hanging off an actual flying helicopter and doing crazy stunts on it. Tom cruise is amazing
And in dead reckoning he's fighting on top of an actual train and doing crazy stunts on it.
"Mr. Director, the whole scene with the TGV and the helicopter and the tunnel doesn't work, because of the overhead line" - "Who needs overhead lines, get rid of them..." 😂
Fun fact: Tom actually practiced a 100 hundred times getting that shot of the helicopter blades that close to his throat.
@@iamwill_s_t 🤣🤣🤣
Wait, which time are you referring to, the first time when it's to the back of his neck, or at the end when it almost slices the front of hs neck? 😅
This is correct. He got decapitated 37 times in the rehearsals. Luckily he never gave up and got it right in the end.
Eh? Why would it take so long to get a close-up of a perfectly safe prop being slowly rotated a few inches from an actor? You do know that he didn't actually use a real, sharp helicopter blade but a prop moved by production crew off camera...? Either you're talking out your backside or someone in a behind the scenes was making things up.
When he jumps on the helicopter and the THEME starts playing ... Goosebumps man , just.... goosebumps!
Ah, yes, the infamous train scene climax. Yes, the one whose conclusion was featured in the movie's trailer. I will never forget that.
And yet the movie was a box office smash.
@@Nunov103 Did well enough to spawn a fairly successful movie franchise.
@@Supperdude9 indeed, the second and third films weren’t very good, in my opinion, but since Ghost Protocol it just keeps getting better and better.
@@Nunov103 the second film sucked but the third film is still quite good
@@PhilipClydeMI2 is still better than BS John Wick
Love Phelps expression of horror and pain as he hits the tracks. The guy totally deserved it.
4:43
Well, what can i tell you?. Looks like Phelps knew how to cover his own tracks.
The CGI here looks better than some of today's Marvel movies. Just sayin....
I agree
In some ways CGI and digital compositing doesn't seem to have improved that much in the last twenty years or so. How good it is now mainly comes down to how much time and money is invested in it. You're absolutely right - if that's not enough, it can still look atrocious.
There was obviously a lot of investment here. It does look incredibly good for 1996, and holds up very well now.
All the shitty cgi in all films nowadays you bring up marvel
Hell, it looks better than the cgi in the trailer for the new mission impossible - which features a train sequence.
Don’t be ridiculous.
It’s better than ALL of the Marvel movies.
One of my favorite scene! Played this over and over on my home theater speakers. Sound effects is awesome!
This remains the best MI movie.
Not even close. There are 2 fantastic scenes, but the others after ghost protocol are superior
Fallout and 1 are neck and neck for me
The real Mission Impossible is Ethan’s heart not exploding from all the adrenaline, fear, and danger.
We not gonna talk about how the train conductor looks just like a Pixar character?
Underrated comment.
lmao yes, he looks comical.
After Tony Hayers told Alan he wouldn't give him a second series he decided to become a Eurostar train driver 😂
I thought it was Bob Geldoff as Pink Floyd
Ahah!
Still the best villain death in the series. I love how we totally see Phelps get smeared across the track like a bug.
After Ethan hooks the chopper and screams, is probably one of my favorite parts of the movie. Just a man on a MISSION. 1:38
I miss the days when you didn’t see anything about a big summer film, until the trailer. They kept the project under tight wraps, and before the internet, that was possible. Than that trailer hit, and everyone was stoked.

4:35 My childhood memorable scene
Leon the Professional helicopter pilot.
I like how Dead Reckoning Part 1 paid tribute to the first movie with having Kittridge return, Brian De Palma’s closeup paranoia cinematography, and having a final fight set on a train.
The toughest rotor blades in movie history I'd say😂
That's a breath taking climax
At 4:43 Jon Voight does his best impression of buttered pancakes 🥞 dripping with helicopter 🚁 syrup on top.
Still the best MI action scene after so many years 😎
Yep
Yeah, but the Buji Kalifa sequence in part 4 is close...
Incredible visual effects for the time
Great film. It was exciting and there was a real story behind it.
the physics of that helicopter are supernatural.
The Danny Elfman music is really good.
One of the best ending showdowns in cinema.
If Kittridge turns out to be the villain in Dead Reckoning, I won't be surprised.
Edit: I was wrong. If Grace trusts him, then I guess I do to.
I hope not.
I doubt it. Kittridge was more of a pain for Ethan. He is ‘by the book’ but to a fault in many ways. In the end I think Kittridge will be secretly helping Ethan and his team out while pretending to be in his way on the surface.
No matter how many times I watch this movie I get so pumped and excited at 4:10 when the theme kicks in AHH ITS SO GOOD!
5:48 The Cranberries at the end 🖤
If tom cruise would have done this scene today, he would have done it in real life
He would be dead.
The sound design in this scene is absolute perfection + a killer score from Danny Elfman. Amazing stuff!!
10 of 10❤❤❤❤For tom cruise & entire team,,,,,total goosebumps 💥💥
The best MI movie. A true spy movie. Instead of the sequels that are all grouped together stunts.
I agree but Ghost Protocol was so good. Them having their plans constantly fall apart and them reacting to the impossible. The only thing missing was more Rhames
Ah, Mission Impossible, the single player Fast and Furious franchise.
Don’t even compare those two. I have a soft spot for Fast and Furious, but these films are infinitely better made 🤣
When the theme kicks in you know now is on
1:47 - love that slide
What a brilliant scene..
what a scene .... 🙏💪
no music no non sense just directions that hooks
Don’t tell me he has no ticket 😂😂
Great move to put the Mission Impossible theme on when Cruise gets on the helicopter 👍🏻
Thanks for not screwing up the aspect ratio or doing some garbage like 60 fps motion interpolation.
Kreiger trying to kill Ethan with the helicopter blade always creeps me out, especially with that gleeful smile of his. 3:59 Always love how Ethan looks back and was like 'I'm still alive? That was close!'
There were several times in this scene where Ethan was screwed and Krieger ironically saved his life a couple of them.

This scene is so much better than dead reckonings train sequence
I thought they were both excellent. Different setup really, the only thing they have in common is the train setting.
Why cant you just love them both?
Much better
scene is spectacular
Rewatching this after seeing dead reckoning 1.
シリーズの中で、これを越える迫力シーンは無い。さすが、デパルマのセンス❗
This scene is just so good. Hell, the whole damn movie is excellent. Really did a nice job of capturing the tone/feel of the show.
Still the best action scene of all time.
He got Ethan's name out of this. I know the actor is now dead but I think he'd have made a great Joker
This train scene is better than the new mi 7 train scene
Why
Even though this is obviously so over the top, the way it's been shot looks so much more "grounded" and realistic compared to everything shown in the latest one. I wish we would have gotten more movies like the first MI. MI3 comes close though.
Also the editing is perfect in this scene.
The iconic scene was a trailer to the many awesome stunts in the later movies
Nice movie. Great. Morr
More
4:43 Jim Phelps last expressions were like 😦 😧 😨 💀
When he hit the tracks I hear will Ferrell line from jay and silent bob when he jumped that cliff….F*** ME!!!!!!!!!
10 on 10 for Tom
This is insane!
This is the most dangerous stunt work
that Tom Cruise 🚢™️
have ever made in the very first
Mission Impossible ™️!
2:21 Props to the train engineer/conductor, for having the presence of mind to figure out what needs to be done in this situation.
Read the script, Hunt was supposed to scream "HASTA LASAGNA" right before the explosion, just like Jack had told him. I wonder if they filmed that take.
Tom
You can be as crazy as you want bro
We love your movies
That’s all that matters
2:20 helicopter in tunnel 🚁🤗
I love this part of mi this movie is a legend in cinema history 😊
This train scene reminds me of the train scene in Speed.
James Bond wouldn't have taken his tie off
When Tom Cruise pastes the explosive on the helicopter, was he commiting suicide but by pure chance the explosion threw him back on the train,
Or did he perfectly calculate that the blast of the explosion would throw him back on the train ?

4:23 "RED LIGHT! GREEN LIGHT!"
Good morning, Mr. Phelps.
10, definitely!!
I always felt bad that the money burned with Phelps
“God, what a terrible waste… of money.” - Sharky, Licence To Kill
That moment you realize Tom Cruise in 'Mission: Impossible 7' was the same age as Jon Voight was in this movie:
🤯
Still one of the greatest action sequences of all time
In that beginning scene that train is going way faster than that chopper could go. Haha.
MY FAVOURITE FLIM AND FAVOURITE ACTOR WOW
Greatest movie scenes of movie history
When they killed Jim Phelps character in this movie, that's it. It's no more Mission Impossible series.
Y'all complaining about this as if you haven't seen Bullet Train 💀
Just Enjoy the movie people !! This is few of the franchise where even though it seems illogical but entertains us for whole 2+ hours
Kafie sarahnia hai sir
Dhero subhkamna wa badhai hai
I'll give 11 out of 10 for this video
10 out of 10 ,
God i love this movie so damn much and i always rewatch this whole train sequence I was truly hoping dead reckoning had something semi close to this scene in the final act but you just can't top this at all
Man once that theme music starts its like its time to get serious
love tom
Well... Tom Cruise's movies are always iconic! 😁
They actually depicted people on top of a moving train with more realism in this one than in the latest movie!
To be fair this is a bullet train the one in MI7 is the orient express an older train who’s speed isn’t any where near this one that’s why they were able to stand up and fight on top of train
This train is going much faster than the Orient Express could ever hope to. Therefore it’s not at all unreasonable that they could climb on top.
Ironic then. Cruise and Morales were really on top of the train going over 60 mph.
Came here after watching the new one. No wonder i've felt i've seen this kinda scene with tom cruise before.
Lol.... Kittritge is on the train in that film too.
Glad they brought him back, Henry Czerny is such a great actor and he nailed the role again.
They had multiple call backs to the original the train set piece with a deal going down the Dutch camera angles that were prominent in the first film and some other things
I love how in the first movie Tom Cruise gets his shit kicked in by Jon Voight, then in recent movies he’s like sky diving off a motorcycle
How do the effects in this look better than everything today?? This is what 1996?
They fliming in 1995 actually
1996 ❤❤❤❤ oh my god time is really flying fast😢
