I really do like the movie. My only complaint, and it's a big one, is that no way would Jim Phelps ever become the bad guy. And the sad thing is that if you named the character John Doe the movie wouldn't have suffered at all.
Jean Reno is neither underrated nor underappreciated. He's an international acting superstar. You just feel that way cus his market isn't primarily the English speaking market. He's been called the French De Niro.
The first is still my fav. Mi2 was too lone wolf and didn't feel like an MI movie. Mi3 was a waste of a good cast. The last three have been pretty good, but their focus was more on spectacle than plot and intrigue.
4:10 "all 3 systems are state of the art" *ALARM BLARE* .... love that transition! Such an entertaining scene with only dialogue just setting up another scene.
This 1st installment of the M. I. movie franchise has been and will always be my favorite because of Brian DePalma. His love of all things Hitchcock and of New Wave European Cinema really shines forth more so than all the other M. I. films. Even the lighting in such scenes as the restaurant debriefing scene or right after Ethan's escape from that when he is back in the apartment searching for clues to Job 314 have the look of the original Mission Impossible TV series. The only other M. I. film that comes close is Brad Bird's M. I. III: Ghost Protocol. But this first film stands tall and alone as the most elegant and "film noir" of them all. It would still be great as a black and white film. Perhaps even better !!
@@mustafaabbasi1073far from it. Tonally the recent movies are so different from the 1st. First MI is a dark spy thriller, recent ones are more popcorn adventure movies
I love all Mission Impossible movies, LOVE THEM ALL, except maybe part 2, but anyway... ALL ARE GREAT GREAT MOVIES, masterpiece of action and script. But to this day... Mission Impossible 1 is my favorite movie of this franchise, I cannot even explain it, but it's like this movie... HAVE A SOUL... it's like you can... TASTE IT :D.
Loved 2 actually. Personaly, as a fan of the old TV series, while I acknowledge that this is a great movie, I cannot forgive it for turning Jim Phelps into a traitor who would murder his own team.
Agreed, but everyone is all into the nonstop, cool action sequences of the sequels. What I like about this film is that it takes the time to breathe and has a lot of dialogue heavy scenes like this where characters size each other up.
That and while there are over the top action here, the main meat of this movie was the complex espionage scenes. This Cruise didn't have to cling onto a fucking plane to look like a cool spy.
CIA: "We need an impregnable safe room with multiple state-of-the-art layers of security... oh, and one more thing... it needs a big ass air conditioning vent in the ceiling for people to crawl through."
@@MRJK87. 20 years ago, Emmanuelle Béart >>> Angelina Jolie IMO and the french is 12 years older. Let's keep this memory, though. In terms of plastic surgery, mistakes have been made.
I can imagine if they ask how Ethan knows all this: "I made recommendations for upgrades after I broke in and stole the DCI's calendar during a security test. Twice"
Except He didn't mention any Pentium 1. Listen to Luther, he was talking about future tech like 'Crypto', 'Intelligent systems' and 'Artificial intelligence'.
Ethan never fired a single shot in this whole movie. which shows the realism of it's espionage theme, people think that real life spies are cool, they get to travel into adventure and get womens like james bond. But in reality they are just a bunch of people trying to live like a shadow, and they only ever use guns if it's really necessary. I really love the realism in this movie, the later movies lost that charm
It’s funny to hear Luther talk about the tech NOW..and what they have today. “…I’m talking about the 686 prototypes with artificial intelligence wrist chips.” Back in the day 686 was a big deal.
Because of our conditioning, as well as his clothes, Rhames is still Marcellus Wallace in our minds at the beginning of the scene. And then, 1:25, voila - Luther Stickell has arrived.
That outer keypad really need a box surround so no cams or passers by could record his code! That much worse than you think line just shows the gravity to such a hardened hacker and that Ethan has it all worked out and it wont be easy even to these pros. That 686mhz computer he wants is way fast!! haha least back then it was amazing but dont know how it would go playing doom these days....
Not quite. He could have worked out that she was involved once he realised Krieger was, but he decided that Phelps, who was the biggest mole, could've killed Hannah himself.
lol.. "686". Shows how Really dated this tech is. The 686 was a Cyrix CPU release in 1995 (a year before this movie) and wasnt a strong competitor for Intel and AMD's cpus . By this point, the Intel had launched their Pentium Pro. Which given was their 6th generation x86 cpus, one *could* argue its a "686", but nobody really referred to it as such. Also "No modem access". Modems are still a thing today, but they were referring to Dial-up modems here.
Movies like this always have one enormous flaw - how do the good guys know so much about the security specs of the place they are breaking in to? How does Ethan know all of these details about how the security works at Langley? In Oceans 11 how does Danny Ocean know so much about the security in the vault at the Bellagio?
Danny Ocean and Rusty both made copies of the blueprints of the Casinos, there is a scene showing this. Plus he had someone working at one of the casinos who was able to access other rooms that are off limits to the non-workers.
SuCKeRPunCH187 yes but in real life you could never get your hands on the blueprints to a casino vault. They would be guarded as tightly as the vault itself.
sound weight temperature alarms , costly hardware , but the only cctv is to see the corridors , and anyone thinked to put a camera in the room ? 😂😂😂 cia 🏆
They could have wrapped him in a full body suit of neoprene, heat-resistant rubber... But then the neoprene would suffocate him. Just remember to go real fast!
But as it turned out, De Palma was a much better fit than John Woo. M:I2 is like a John Woo action movie with nods to the Mission: Impossible universe. That movie is the odd one out in the franchise, I think.

There's a lot of intelligence terms and protocols that are just as relevant now as they were 30 years before this 1996 movie, that's how the writers could have kept the movie from aging badly Compare this Jean Reno spy movie with another, Ronin. It's definitely set in the 1990s but it didn't try to wow the audience with 1990s buzzwords

"And, uh... I get to keep the equipment when we're done." 😂
Luther, I guess you’re all out of excuses
Bro's a pro player! 😎👍
He's great
Brian DePalma has an elegance I've never seen again in the sequels, there was some sort of unreal irony underlying every scene of the movie.
Yep this is still the best one
Not only that, the deception was credible. Mi -II I love also. MI - III and above are so confusing.
The first is still my fav. Mi2 was too lone wolf and didn't feel like an MI movie. Mi3 was a waste of a good cast. The last three have been pretty good, but their focus was more on spectacle than plot and intrigue.

My favourite part of this scene is that the super-advanced AI-enabling computer he's talking about is a Pentium II.
When the late 90s hits a Gen Z kid hard, it hurts.
Pentiums didn't have "AI RISC chips", though...
He said RISC processor -- PowerPC (Macs).
Entity now enemy
Funny to see Luther acting like this is such an impossibly difficult task when you consider what he’s been helping with since then.
Practice makes perfect.
The first one is also the best movie in the Mission: impossible saga
Agreed, but everyone is all into the nonstop, cool action sequences of the sequels. What I like about this film is that it takes the time to breathe and has a lot of dialogue heavy scenes like this where characters size each other up.
drlee2 absolutely.
That and while there are over the top action here, the main meat of this movie was the complex espionage scenes. This Cruise didn't have to cling onto a fucking plane to look like a cool spy.
No, he clinged into a fucking train to look like a cool spy...
Back then no one expected him to do that. Now it's pretty much "What's he clinging on to this time. A plane, a tall building, his Ex-Wife."
Jean Reno is the embodiment of coolness.
"We're going to do it?" Legendary words to kick off the fantastic mission
CIA: "We need an impregnable safe room with multiple state-of-the-art layers of security... oh, and one more thing... it needs a big ass air conditioning vent in the ceiling for people to crawl through."

"I made recommendations for upgrades after I broke in and stole the DCI's calendar during a security test. Twice"
Now
Believe me when I tell you Gentleman
All three systems are State of the Art !
I love that this is a Mission Impossible film but it's also a Brian DePalma film, one of his best in my opinion
LMFAO!! Basically Ethan formed his own independent IMF team
Most iconic heist in cinema history.
And it would have been much more difficult if the computer had automatically locked when the analyst was out of the room.
True
Ethan Hunt meeting with Marcellus Wallace 😂
+Evelyn Verdejo Makes me wonder where Vincent, Jules, and Butch were.
4:26 I wish they had brought Danny Elfman back to score the final two films. By far the best music of the franchise was in the first film.
Definitely my favorite version of the Mission Impossible theme.
Tom cruise = legend
Tom cruise = risky business
Raj786 Legend isn’t his best film, but it’s still pretty good.

“Phineas Freak”, I just realized that name got a callback, along with the net ranger, during the opening airport scene in Dead Reckoning Part 1

“We’re Going to do it”
The best mission impossible of the series of movies in my opinion 👌
Best MI by far!
Poor guy wanted to keep the 686 (Pentium 1) machine and 56Kbps (fastest dial-up modem at the time 😂😂
Except He didn't mention any Pentium 1. Listen to Luther, he was talking about future tech like 'Crypto', 'Intelligent systems' and 'Artificial intelligence'.
Haha "6/86 with the prototype risk chip" aah those days when 6/86 was considered premium fast.
THIS MOVIE DVD ALWAYS IN MY HOME😁😁
*Damn good movie
Factoid, I was told that this is the only mission impossible movie, maybe any action movie ever, where not a single shot from a gun was ever fired.
Theoretically, earlier when Jim Phelps faked his death, he "shot" himself with a blank. Not sure if that counts or not.
And I forgot, there's the scene where Phelps shoots Claire. That definitely breaks that factoid.
There are just a couple gun shots in this film
Dont declare factoids when you 'was told ' something. Fact check your supposed factoids first. Thankyou.

Yeah like he was just there
I liked his role in Rogue Nation.
Not really I dont feel that way
agree, feels like they gave his role to benji as the 'tech' guy............i would've liked it if they stuck with luther only
Luther's nicknames pop up for the first time since this movie in Dead Reckoning Part 1! The beginning of the end really did go back to the beginning!
It’s funny to hear Luther talk about the tech NOW..and what they have today. “…I’m talking about the 686 prototypes with artificial intelligence wrist chips.” Back in the day 686 was a big deal.
