Mission Impossible: RogueNation Teaser for HBO Asia (part 1)

The Best Things About the 1st Mission: Impossible Movie

 - Emilio Estevez 

- The way they do the opening credits in the style of the show’s using clips from the movies that we haven’t even seen yet

- The fact that out of all of the films, it is the most like a traditional cloak-and-dagger spy thriller rather than an action movie

- The general artsiness of the whole thing

- Danny Elfman’s score

- The way the first few scenes really do feel like they could be the beginning of a standard episode of an ongoing TV series until shit goes Horribly Wrong™

- The weird-ass angles in the scene at the restaurant 

- The SUSPENSE

- The PLOT TWISTS

- Everything about the cable drop scene. Everything. It is one of the most iconic scenes in all of modern cinema for a goddamn reason.

- Young Tom Cruise™

- The scenery (both the beautiful European locations and the sleek set design)

- The way it only gets better with every repeated viewing as you’re able to understand all of the complexities of the story and characters more and more 

- That lovely periwinkle sweater Ethan wears when he figures out that Jim is the bad guy. (My friend insists that it was grey but it was PERIWINKLE.)

- “Hasta lasagna, don’t get any on ya.”

- The adorably dated technology 

- Max is fucking awesome and I kind of wish they made her a reoccurring character in the series

- The fact that the train scene, while suffering from comedically fake-looking special effects and general ridiculousness, still manages to be a brilliantly choreographed and emotionally engaging action sequence

- No romance. I do think that Ethan cared very deeply for Claire but TBH there’s nothing that really indicated to me that he was truly attracted to her, and the scenes where she’s trying to seduce him I guess a) Go nowhere and b) Have him looking extremely confused and vaguely uncomfortable throughout

- ETHAN HUNT GREW UP ON A FUCKING FARM WHY DO WE NOT TALK ABOUT THIS

THIS POST IS THE GREATEST THING BUT MAY I ALSO ADD

• Ving Rhames

• Ethan’s sudden and complete exhaustion after the sleight-of-hand scene with the two discs

• The mission briefing on a plane bookends

• Ethan’s tendency to vivid and absolutely terrifying nightmares, that he tells no one about, still deals with as of Fallout, and has apparently still not told anyone about

You need to understand something. Ethan is my friend. And if I ever have any doubt as to what side you’re on… 

Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt in Mission Impossible (1996)

Ethan Hunt - Mission: Impossible 1 - 5

Colleague’s casual conversation.

while ethan on a summer vacation, fighting an evil mummy queen

MI5: 7 times the word “Package” was used. (Of course they also used the word “Plane” 12 times and “Door” 16 times in the opening sequence…)

It never fails to amuse me that while the character Ethan Hunt doubted that holding his breath underwater for three minutes was possible for him to do, the actor playing him held his breath for six minutes to film that scene.
