My favourite sequence of any Mission Impossible film. It’s just oozing with atmosphere and great actors having fun with playing their characters. It’s such a treat to watch.
"These guys are trained to be ghosts. We taught them to do it for Christ's sake!" Always loved this line. Acknowledging the skills of the agents, and knowing they were the ones who trained them.
People talking about Vanessa Redgrave (and rightly so), but Henry Czerny is such a beast in this - his delivery is second to none “you find something personally important to him, and, you squeeze” - so satisfying
This movie is the best in the series, no matter how dated some of the tech is. It feels so real when Ethan loses his team at the start, the intrigue and mystery is gripping, the CIA infiltration scene is iconic, and the train action scene looks AMAZING even now and is so thrilling. And to top that, you have a mesmerizing, hypnotizing performance by Vanessa Redgrave. Top notch stuff.
Calling something "dated" is a detracting is a purely superficial and detracting way of pointing out how it represents the era it was made in, a factor that should never be considered an imperfection. Imagine talking about a movie from 1996 just to the tech used in it "dated" 27 years later.
@@thegoodgeneral It's the standard for the era. If they had made a movie set in the 90s that looked like that everyone would praise it for its 'accurate representation of the era'.
1:53 “I’m willing to take the chance.” Later in Fallout, speaking to White Widow: “I know what you’re thinking. Maybe they’re not here for you, maybe they’re just here for me. Are you willing to take that chance?”
I love how DePalma-y this movie looks, lots of angled and wide shots, looming characters in the background to keep their presence known instead of just basic one-shots, he's just a master of painting the entire frame.
While I appreciate McQuarrie’s work, I do miss when M:I movies each were different and more tailored to the style of the director. I would’ve loved to see M:I movies done by Michael Bay, Spielberg, Edgar Wright or Martin Campbell.
@@VickStarkiller I feel your sentiment. The different director styles made the movie series interesting and attractive, in my opinion. However, we already got a Spielberg M:I movie, it was called *Minority Report* (2002), Cruise is a government agent who feels he's being set up and who must clear his name. It even featured a "mask" scene. That's as close as we'll get to Spielberg ever directing a Tom Cruise M:I movie, because Spielberg wants to tell a story, not oversee a sequence of stunt vignettes held together by an ultra-thin storyline that only gets shaped in the cutting room. In my view, just as Minority Report was Spielberg's M:I , *Knight and Day* (2010) was James Mangold's M:I , *Valkyrie* (2008) was Bryan Singer's M:I , and *The Firm* (1993) was Sydney Pollack's M:I . All those movies feature Tom Cruise working undercover to foil his evil employer. I don't think we'll ever see Martin Campbell directing a Tom Cruise M:I movie, because Campbell "belongs" to the rival franchise that is 007/Bond. I don't think we'll ever have a Michael Bay installment either, Bay has his own vision on how to direct an action movie and would soon quit over creative differences. Moreover, he's an established action director, he can develop his own projects, he doesn't need someone else's franchise and the restrictions that it comes with. I had to look up who Edgar Wright is, he could be a good and interesting choice as director for an M:I film. He appears to be well versed in comedy/humor (and I liked M:I - Ghost Protocol, directed by Brad Bird), I think Baby Driver was a solid movie, and he has worked with Simon Pegg before. In terms of action I think Renny Harlin (Cliffhanger) could be a good choice, although it's been a while since he's delivered a successful movie. But personally I'd prefer if Mission: Impossible focused again on plot, story, suspense rather than action; and the preparatory sequences leading up to the heist/finale. Maybe Steven Soderbergh or Danny Boyle would like to try his hand at one installment?
Vanessa Redgave's presence and delivery, as the serpent hypnotizing the canari, is just fantastic. This and the "My lawyers will tear your lawyers to shreds" near the end of the movie.
+drob281159 Is that a typo of "canary" or am I just missing some deeper reference here...? The Serpent (Satan) seducing Eve in the Bible is what I figured you were going for, and calling Eve a beautiful little "canary" I could see working, but I don't know what a "canari" is...
I saw this movie in theaters when I was 10 years old and GoldenEye the year before. Two Classics. First time I ever saw Vanessa in a movie and of course she made an immediate impression.
The first Mission Impossible is perfectly written, acted, and directed. There is so much intrigue and mystery around the story. This film assumes you're smart, and it doesn't hold your hand and slow walk you through information. I love that!
Facts! I agree. It was a refreshing action film with a very compelling thrilling action story. This movie shows what Spy’s went through on a daily life and showed the action scenes of tricky situation and I mean missions that were impossible. Plus the reveal is what made this movie so amazing and unbelievable and it took risks like what the writers did to Jim from the classic TV series. This movie was unique and the sequels could never surpass this gem of a film that I absolutely love so much. So much story development going on in one film vs senseless ridiculous amount of car explosions and car chases. Which I like. But can get old after while. But the first film was really special I find. What a storyline from start to finish. The movie that kept us guessing who to trust and who not to trust. Who’s bad? Or who’s good?
A shame we never got to see the two Vanessas of the series (Redgrave and Kirby) share a scene together. It would have been exciting to see Max and Alanna together as mother and daughter.
No one can convince me that killing her mother off was a good idea, it’s like convincing me that Jedi can’t fall in love is a good idea or that AI won’t kill humanity.
One overlooked aspect of this scene is how incredibly funny it actually is. The just this much over the top performances, the non-thrilling shots of "agents arriving" in funny ridiculous costumes. Dig the lady with the hat. Vanessa' Redgrave's first line delivery and her weird dry laugh registering clearly in long shot all across the scene. Brilliant.
00.24 Corner of Nekazanka and Na Prikope is about 30 seconds from where I'm currently sitting :) at 5.21 my office entrance is just in front of that archway :)
I hope you've caught up! He can be hit and miss, but De Palma has so many greats under his belt. Carrie, Scarface, The Untouchables, Blow Out, Carlito's Way amongst others. I love his style, he manages to frame everything so... 'interestingly' for want of a better word.
I've seen this at the Cinema twice, on VHS 20 times. Never DVD or Blu-ray until Netflix.. All the actors casted from 5minute screen time to henchmen are so damn good!!
I always love watching this movie, especially scenes from it on UA-cam. That just explains how Badass Brian de Palma well-directed this movie since Scarface.
Great film, and it still holds up incredibly well. The plot is complex, but if you go back over the details, it all adds up. With the exception of a smoking scene on an airplane, you could drop this movie in 2022 and it would be just as good.
love the camera work here. the first person shot when meeting at the bus stop, i just thought that was interesting they didn't have the main actor in that shot and imo it's just really cool to experience esp when you focus on the match and then that car zooms up. Also, during the conversation between max and ethan, everytime the camera is on max it's on a dutch tilted angle and everytime it's on ethan it's straight. i guess that's to show her world is spinning and ethan is cool as a cucumber.
清涼水 Its the same principle as a Personal ad in the Newspaper. The internet started as literal messages boards on the computer. You could leave a message and people could see it, and email you, but not SMS you. Max's people had to be on the site, and physically see the message to even know about it.
Actually, the Internet goes back even further than that. It originally began as a military communications network called ARPANET, created by the Department of Defense in 1966.
It goes back even farther than that, go look up some of the ideas the Nazi came up with and you will see the internet is much older than it appears to be.
The agents had no idea where the disk would be booted up it could have literally been anywhere. it’s very fortunate that at the exact moment it’s booted up and signal sent, all those guys were not only together and ready to go (no one taking a shit for example) but they were also less than two minutes away. Amazing
The implication was that Ethan would take the NOC disk to Max. The CIA knew roughly that Max was in Prague at the time, though her exact whereabouts may have been vague to them. That's how they were in the area, waiting for the signal because they knew they'd find Ethan Hunt at the point of the signal.
Vaness Kirby did the same bit of facial expression in Dead Reckoning perhaps a little tribute to Vanessa Redgrave- from one great actress to another- a mother to daughter in the film
I loved his suit and think the blue tie with the blue shirt is always a good look. I have a similar style when i have an occasion but wear a black suit instead of grey.
The actress in this scene (Vanessa Redgrave) was in a relationship with English actor Timothy Dalton (who played the role of James Bond in 2 movies) for 15 years
And for good reason. As a youth, I didn’t get why her character left such an impression on me. Now as a 29 year old, I fully understand and I really enjoy it.
The scanner detects any outgoing signals. Granted they don't work this way IRL back then let alone today, but essentially the higher the number is, the more likely it's sending a signal telling Kittridge and others "It's over here." That being said the scanner is only part of it. Ethan mentioned that within 3 - 10 minutes of using that disk, the CIA would come knocking. Not so much the signal, but how long it's been projecting.
That’s actually retired Marine Colonel and Vietnam Vet Dale Dye who was one of the main technical consultants and made an appearance in Saving Private Ryan as the Army Colonel just after the invasion scene who tells General Marshall that Matt Damon’s character is most likely KIA, he does small side acting parts but damn near any military film of consequence the last 30 years he’s been a main technical consultant
Lol, must have been one of these, or they just took the sticker and put it on a normal 3.5" floppy: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SuperDisk The usual size for a 3.5" floppy was 1.44MB, not a massive 230MB which I never had back in the day. Would have been nice though, lol. And for the record, I kept a 3.5" drive in my PC until 2010. I held on for a long time ;)
It's not a floppy disk (nor a SuperDisk). It's a so-called _Optical Disk_ , which is used in a Magneto-Optical drive. This technology is different from the floppy disk and the SuperDisk, because the data on the disk is read optically. The _Optical Disk_ is much more expensive and wasn't as commonly used as the floppy disk, so not many people remember it (or even knew about it).
there is a moment when two actors are talking when you can see if they really like each other , or at least one of them really likes the other person in real life. there is a moment when tom cruise looks at vanessa redgrave in the car, when he frankly looks thrilled. he is really impressed by her and is thrilled that she is doing this .... he does not look at too many people the way he is looking at her in the car, ... and why not ? she's pretty fabulous, and is still gorgeous, and her movies... Her film Blow up was fantastic and so was her performance. I will never forget one scene when she begs this photographer for the film in his camera because he has shot her talking to someone that she would not like anyone to know about, and she actually throws herself on the ground and bites the photographers hand to get the camera away from him. Unbelievable. it may have been the script, but the way she talked, carried herself, few people can carry off such nervous but quiet desperation and beauty all at once.
"there is a moment when tom cruise looks at vanessa redgrave in the car, when he frankly looks thrilled." I think that was just part of the script. As a professional spy, Ethan is flirting with Max (and she's flirting back) in order to gain Max's trust and get what he wants. Also, if Ethan doesn't gain Max's trust, then he'll be a dead man.
I still find it slightly funny that Dame Vanessa Redgrave was once arrested in Trafalgar Square In either '68 or '69 during a protest against the Vietnam War. Hauled into jail, when she had an afternoon matinee performance of Shakespeare to do. 😁 Dame Judi Dench, Dame Maggie Smith and Dame Eileen Atkins were also there and make reference to it in the Documentary, "Tea with The Dames." Also, the contrast from This film to how she Narrated the various renditions of The Rik Mayall, Michael Gambon, Michael Palin voiced Version of "Wind in the Willows".
I like how that mask and the blonde haired henchman return in Ghost Protocol and that Max returns through Vanessa Kirby’s White Widow in Fallout and Dead Reckoning Part 1
Probably reading that temperature in Celsius degrees is still increasing. A powerful radio transmitter would generate heat. Max even comments "it might be just hard drive booting up".
I just love watching Vanessa Redgrave toying with and taunting Tom Cruise in his own film. I know he's reported to be quite an egotist, but I hope as an actor he realized what a challenge and opportunity he had in his career to work with Vanessa Redgrave.
Numbers 23:19 God is not human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill?
Except they made Mr. Phelps a traitor and killed him off. (Not that I really care, because I've never watched the original shows. But it's quite a bold and insulting move.)
@@yurenchu Except you clearly cared enough to point it out and call it an "insulting move." I had never watched the shows or movies before learning that detail, and yet I still cared immensely about such disrespect for an established hero to the point that I was inspired to watch them, become a fan of the series, and base my username on it.
@@imfsresidentotaku9699 I've never watched the old TV-shows because it would take time and effort to find those old episodes, and then watch them all and get invested in the characters and their arcs. I've watched only one episode on UA-cam once, I like the old-school atmosphere where it's more about the team meticulously preparing the "trap", than about the trap itself. (It's the same reason that I like movies like The Sting (1973) starring Robert Redford so much.) Among the Cruise/Ethan Hunt movies, only the first movie had that (although I think the fourth movie (Ghost Protocol) comes somewhat close, but in a more modern fashion). The old (and old-fashioned) mr. Phelps was apparently a sort of icon. According to online sources that I've found, Peter Graves, the actor who played mr. Phelps in the TV-series, was a devout christian. But judging from the motifs, (biblical) references, and other plot elements in this movie, Cruise (as producer of the movie) and his crew clearly wanted to "kill off" any connections with the old TV-series and what they stood for, and they did so bluntly and disrespectfully. It's what got the movie noticed among the target audience back then (iin the mid-1990s, especially since there was apparently a trend to deliver stories with dark character plot twists, see for example The Usual Suspects, written by ... Christopher McQuarrie, the writer/director of the lastest M:I movies!), and it also fit in a trend of Tom Cruise movies back then, in which he was battling against his mentor figures (or father figures?), treating them as old relics and defeating them. Perhaps I don't really care about the old TV-series, but rather about the new movie series and the new/young fans who just recently got into the franchise and who deserve to know the truth. ("But you can't handle the truth!" -- another Tom Cruise movie where his character fights and defeats/obliterates his mentor figure, in the form of Jack Nicholson, LOL!)
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SuperDisk Like the guy above said, that one has a "230 MB" sticker on it which is WAY beyond the normal 1.44MB you'd usually get a on standard 3.5" floppy. They either used a SuperDisk for this movie or just simply took the sticker from one of them and put it on a normal 3.5" disk, lol. It's all pretend after all, but they did really have 240MB floppy disks apparently if you got a "SuperDisk"...
It's neither a floppy disk nor a SuperDisk. It's a Verbatim 3.5" Rewritable _Optical Disk_ with a capacity of 230MB . See also here: - en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magneto-optical_drive The Verbatim Optical Disk is a so-called Magneto-Optical (MO) disk. It is technologically different from floppy disks and the SuperDisk: in floppy disks and the SuperDisk, the data is written and read magnetically, while in an Optical Disk the data is written thermo-magnetically but read optically. Optical Disks weren't as popular or commonly used even back in the day, so most people don't know that they exist.

Absolutely a killer scene 😎

Very true.
This movie is the best in the series, no matter how dated some of the tech is. It feels so real when Ethan loses his team at the start, the intrigue and mystery is gripping, the CIA infiltration scene is iconic, and the train action scene looks AMAZING even now and is so thrilling.
And to top that, you have a mesmerizing, hypnotizing performance by Vanessa Redgrave. Top notch stuff.
Calling something "dated" is a detracting is a purely superficial and detracting way of pointing out how it represents the era it was made in, a factor that should never be considered an imperfection. Imagine talking about a movie from 1996 just to the tech used in it "dated" 27 years later.

Tom Cruise has more sexual chemistry with Vanessa Redgrave in this scene than he’s had with any of his on screen female co stars.
As quoted on “The Rewatchables”
Him and Rebecca Ferguson have great chemistry and don’t get me started on Hayley Atwell.
She was a cougar for sure.
And don't forget Vanessa Kirby as well. :D
@@VickStarkillerOkay, let's get started with Hayley Atwell.
You can say what you want about the script, but the cinematography of this movie is amazing. De Palma at his best.

Daniel Williamson how come the second one didn't continue from the first just asking
She was arrested at the end of the movie.
New mission. New villain.

she was a fox

Totally agree, what a handsome and sexy woman, even more handsome than her daughter in "Falout"
Very much so. Had this been a 007 film, she likely would’ve ended up in bed with Bond.

Great sequence. Movie needed more scenes with Max and Ethan.

Spelled 'further'
man, Vanessa Redgrave is an amazing actress, her villainy is almost seductive
The agents had no idea where the disk would be booted up it could have literally been anywhere. it’s very fortunate that at the exact moment it’s booted up and signal sent, all those guys were not only together and ready to go (no one taking a shit for example) but they were also less than two minutes away. Amazing
you'll shit yourself when you watch Avatar
The implication was that Ethan would take the NOC disk to Max. The CIA knew roughly that Max was in Prague at the time, though her exact whereabouts may have been vague to them. That's how they were in the area, waiting for the signal because they knew they'd find Ethan Hunt at the point of the signal.
Love that they put an Easter egg in one of the recent MI movies referencing this scene and the same exact hat.
Very underrated movie.
Vaness Kirby did the same bit of facial expression in Dead Reckoning perhaps a little tribute to Vanessa Redgrave- from one great actress to another- a mother to daughter in the film
Such a fantastic scene. Still my favorite mission impossible, I love how it creates tension without needing to rely on excessive action sequences.
I loved his suit and think the blue tie with the blue shirt is always a good look.
I have a similar style when i have an occasion but wear a black suit instead of grey.
Love how one of the agents points a gun at the cleaner, then just lets her carry on...
The actress in this scene (Vanessa Redgrave) was in a relationship with English actor Timothy Dalton (who played the role of James Bond in 2 movies) for 15 years
You’ll be wearing that shroud indefinitely.
😂😂
Vanessa Redgrave is one of the most sensual actresses who ever lived.
And for good reason. As a youth, I didn’t get why her character left such an impression on me. Now as a 29 year old, I fully understand and I really enjoy it.
VR is so good as Max. Underrated performance.
Andreas Wisniewski(blonde guy) Necros in The Living Daylights and Tony, Karl's brother in Die Hard. Now I have a machine gun ho ho ho.
Hunt looks almost like a Batman villain with that mask and suit on at 1:38.
Daniel Williamson he does
Daniel Williamson would you like to see my mask?
"Where were the other disks going?!"
Max would had made a good female Bond villain.
@@danielwilliamson6180 like the idea
5:54 That shake of the head from Ethan. "Look luv, I've worked for them, might have a slightly better idea of how they operate than you." 😂
That "I suggest you pack first" line sounds like it has the same energy as the "pay your check first" line in Jack Reacher.
I like how you can almost see cruises facial expressions with the mask on. Just by him turning his head
Geeez a floppy disc!
Vanessa Redgrave owned this part.
Mission impossible 6 is good...but my favorite is the first one!
"What can we do Barnes? Put a guy in the airport?" Thank godness Eugene Kittridge is back on the MI saga. Too good of a charachter to let him go.
Dude in the white coat looked like Leslie nielson lol
He looked like a boy there
He was like 33-34 in this movie
Does anyone know who the lady in black is with the IMF agents in white coats? Is she also a IMF agent?
I'm not tech savvy. What are the escalating numbers on the scanner when the disc is loading?
The scanner detects any outgoing signals. Granted they don't work this way IRL back then let alone today, but essentially the higher the number is, the more likely it's sending a signal telling Kittridge and others "It's over here." That being said the scanner is only part of it. Ethan mentioned that within 3 - 10 minutes of using that disk, the CIA would come knocking. Not so much the signal, but how long it's been projecting.
Apparently, emitted energy as a measure of signal strength. But it's probably as fictitious as the hook that killed Jack in the elevator shaft.
Great to see an accomplished actor. Oh and Tom Cruise. :)
Cruise had a good look in this, looked like hippe in MI2...
Mercedes W126. Perfect in any scene.
This scene is one of my favorites from the first movie. But you may need to raise the audio.
Does anyone else think Barnes bears an uncanny resemblance to Peter Graves???
That’s actually retired Marine Colonel and Vietnam Vet Dale Dye who was one of the main technical consultants and made an appearance in Saving Private Ryan as the Army Colonel just after the invasion scene who tells General Marshall that Matt Damon’s character is most likely KIA, he does small side acting parts but damn near any military film of consequence the last 30 years he’s been a main technical consultant
This was my second favorite scene in this movie
I like paradoxes ...
1:21 Tom Cruise in the mask reminds me so much of Vanilla Sky, "cats, Cats!!! Meow!!!"
4:45 230mb floppy disk~! lol how many people remember that relic from prehistoric era?
Thirty two. 99.8% of people born before 2005 are dead. Didn't you know that?
Lol, must have been one of these, or they just took the sticker and put it on a normal 3.5" floppy: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SuperDisk
The usual size for a 3.5" floppy was 1.44MB, not a massive 230MB which I never had back in the day. Would have been nice though, lol. And for the record, I kept a 3.5" drive in my PC until 2010. I held on for a long time ;)
Grade school
It's not a floppy disk (nor a SuperDisk). It's a so-called _Optical Disk_ , which is used in a Magneto-Optical drive. This technology is different from the floppy disk and the SuperDisk, because the data on the disk is read optically.
The _Optical Disk_ is much more expensive and wasn't as commonly used as the floppy disk, so not many people remember it (or even knew about it).
there is a moment when two actors are talking when you can see if they really like each other , or at least one of them really likes the other person in real life. there is a moment when tom cruise looks at vanessa redgrave in the car, when he frankly looks thrilled. he is really impressed by her and is thrilled that she is doing this .... he does not look at too many people the way he is looking at her in the car, ... and why not ? she's pretty fabulous, and is still gorgeous, and her movies...
Her film Blow up was fantastic and so was her performance. I will never forget one scene when she begs this photographer for the film in his camera because he has shot her talking to someone that she would not like anyone to know about, and she actually throws herself on the ground and bites the photographers hand to get the camera away from him. Unbelievable. it may have been the script, but the way she talked, carried herself, few people can carry off such nervous but quiet desperation and beauty all at once.
"there is a moment when tom cruise looks at vanessa redgrave in the car, when he frankly looks thrilled."
I think that was just part of the script. As a professional spy, Ethan is flirting with Max (and she's flirting back) in order to gain Max's trust and get what he wants. Also, if Ethan doesn't gain Max's trust, then he'll be a dead man.
I still find it slightly funny that Dame Vanessa Redgrave was once arrested in Trafalgar Square
In either '68 or '69 during a protest against the Vietnam War.
Hauled into jail, when she had an afternoon matinee performance of Shakespeare to do.
😁
Dame Judi Dench, Dame Maggie Smith and Dame Eileen Atkins were also there and make reference to it in the
Documentary, "Tea with The Dames."
Also, the contrast from This film to how she Narrated the various renditions of The Rik Mayall,
Michael Gambon, Michael Palin voiced Version of "Wind in the Willows".
1:05 Look how far back that guys seat is! The guy with long blonde hair had nowhere to sit almost!
IN ARGENTINA THERE IS A MOVIE CALLED “PERDIDO POR PERDIDO“, WICH IS FROM 93´ STARING RICARDO DARIN AND HAS A VERY SIMILAR SCENE, IN MANY ASPECTS...HA
I like how that mask and the blonde haired henchman return in Ghost Protocol and that Max returns through Vanessa Kirby’s White Widow in Fallout and Dead Reckoning Part 1
4:58 I never understood what they meant by 26/27 and those numbers. Tom cruise then starts shaking his head when the numbers get bigger.
Probably reading that temperature in Celsius degrees is still increasing. A powerful radio transmitter would generate heat. Max even comments "it might be just hard drive booting up".
20 degrees in Celsius is room temperature, 36 is body temperature, 50 is a computer that's running.
Maybe the coolest tom cruise hairdo looking good bro
Doesn't mean it's a signal, could just be the hard drive heating up.
I just love watching Vanessa Redgrave toying with and taunting Tom Cruise in his own film. I know he's reported to be quite an egotist, but I hope as an actor he realized what a challenge and opportunity he had in his career to work with Vanessa Redgrave.
You kidding? He probably wanted to take pointers from her.
I like old czech police Škoda at 5:26 :D
What can we do Barnes?
Numbers 23:19
God is not human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill?
She and the MI3 the Best antagonist of the wholecseria
CAPTAIN MY CAPTAIN Ethan Says 'Give Yourself Permission to Be Creative' : The Art is Not Luxury it is Our 'Sustenance"
Mr. Cruise!
When money doesnt work you watch this 6 million!
I loved MI the first movie. The others are good but this one follows what the series was about.
Except they made Mr. Phelps a traitor and killed him off.
(Not that I really care, because I've never watched the original shows. But it's quite a bold and insulting move.)
@@yurenchu Except you clearly cared enough to point it out and call it an "insulting move." I had never watched the shows or movies before learning that detail, and yet I still cared immensely about such disrespect for an established hero to the point that I was inspired to watch them, become a fan of the series, and base my username on it.
@@imfsresidentotaku9699 I've never watched the old TV-shows because it would take time and effort to find those old episodes, and then watch them all and get invested in the characters and their arcs. I've watched only one episode on UA-cam once, I like the old-school atmosphere where it's more about the team meticulously preparing the "trap", than about the trap itself. (It's the same reason that I like movies like The Sting (1973) starring Robert Redford so much.) Among the Cruise/Ethan Hunt movies, only the first movie had that (although I think the fourth movie (Ghost Protocol) comes somewhat close, but in a more modern fashion).
The old (and old-fashioned) mr. Phelps was apparently a sort of icon. According to online sources that I've found, Peter Graves, the actor who played mr. Phelps in the TV-series, was a devout christian. But judging from the motifs, (biblical) references, and other plot elements in this movie, Cruise (as producer of the movie) and his crew clearly wanted to "kill off" any connections with the old TV-series and what they stood for, and they did so bluntly and disrespectfully. It's what got the movie noticed among the target audience back then (iin the mid-1990s, especially since there was apparently a trend to deliver stories with dark character plot twists, see for example The Usual Suspects, written by ... Christopher McQuarrie, the writer/director of the lastest M:I movies!), and it also fit in a trend of Tom Cruise movies back then, in which he was battling against his mentor figures (or father figures?), treating them as old relics and defeating them.
Perhaps I don't really care about the old TV-series, but rather about the new movie series and the new/young fans who just recently got into the franchise and who deserve to know the truth. ("But you can't handle the truth!" -- another Tom Cruise movie where his character fights and defeats/obliterates his mentor figure, in the form of Jack Nicholson, LOL!)
my theory is that the guy with white hair along with kittridge is the real jim phelps, he looks a lot like peter graves.
at 4:45, that floppy disk. Capable of storing 1.4 MB of data and highly unreliable!
Most of us must have even forgotten how it looks.
Vikram Agawaane 230 MB, it's written on the sticker.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SuperDisk
Like the guy above said, that one has a "230 MB" sticker on it which is WAY beyond the normal 1.44MB you'd usually get a on standard 3.5" floppy. They either used a SuperDisk for this movie or just simply took the sticker from one of them and put it on a normal 3.5" disk, lol. It's all pretend after all, but they did really have 240MB floppy disks apparently if you got a "SuperDisk"...
Yap yap yap
It's neither a floppy disk nor a SuperDisk. It's a Verbatim 3.5" Rewritable _Optical Disk_ with a capacity of 230MB . See also here:
- en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magneto-optical_drive
The Verbatim Optical Disk is a so-called Magneto-Optical (MO) disk. It is technologically different from floppy disks and the SuperDisk: in floppy disks and the SuperDisk, the data is written and read magnetically, while in an Optical Disk the data is written thermo-magnetically but read optically.
Optical Disks weren't as popular or commonly used even back in the day, so most people don't know that they exist.
Funny I still have some old 3.5"s in a case, along with a bunch of blank Zip Drive Disks.
That’s funny I could pick Tom out even if he has a mask on😂😂😂😂
volume is to low, I can't hear shit.
“Who are you and what are you doing here?”
