Mission Impossible - Fallout | Canadian First Time Watching | Movie Reaction | Review | Commentary 

the dual elbow bathroom reload is the primary reason I'm watching this, so incredible

The other thing I like about this film is that the White Widow is the daughter of the broker from the first film, Max. That’s a nice touch to connect the series as a whole, just like bringing Julia back.

"He's mine now." Laughed my arse off there, George.

The helicopter stunt pilots refused to do some of the specific stunts in the final chase scene. So naturally Tom Cruise learned to fly a helicopter AND to do the super difficult stunts. Also, the addition of Rebecca Ferguson to the MI series is just fantastic. Top tier casting!

I laughed so hard at George's "he's mine now" joke toward the end, I nearly spilled my Ramen! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Cavill did his biceps reload because the fighting scene was pretty intense and his arms were sore 😂 He thought it was stupid the first time but then the director asked him to do it again because it looked awesome. And yes, Tom did break his leg when he jumped the gap of the buildings. There's a BTS clip where you can see his foot dangling in a weird angle 😭

“This seems like a real sky jump” It is. Tom Cruise performed a HALO (High Altitude Low Opening) jump which is why you can clearly see his face in the close up when he jumps 👍 …and he really did fly the helicopter and perform all the stunts on the helicopter…

Everyone talks about Keanu being a vampire cause he doesn't seem to age. Angela Bassett is even more ageless.

Probably my favorite of the series. This and #3. I just think the action scenes and the tie back to Julia is great. It really firms up how complex and difficult a life Ethan has, but how he really has tried to do right by all the people in it.

In regards to Simone asking "what does that do?' about reloading his biceps. Looking fucking sick is what it does haha. My guess is what Ilsa said is something along the lines of "I'll take care of him for you" like Simone said. And I think it's a secret because her husband doesn't know they were married before.

Julia's husband probably looks familiar because he was the first game maker with the extravagant facial hair in the first Hunger Games movie.

This movie's stunts are so good they honestly makes me question Tom Cruise's mental health.

Fun fact about the arm reload in the bathroom fight is that Henry did out of nowhere to warm up and immediatly thought it was stupid but the director loved it and asked for him to do it again

When Ethan walks into the back room at the club where The White Widow is speaking, she is eulogizing her mother, Max. It has not been *explicitly* stated, but that almost certainly refers to Max (Vanessa Redgrave), the same arms dealer from the original Mission: Impossible movie. Both The White Widow and Max are in the same business, and The White Widow has CIA connections, something likely facilitated by the final scene of Max in that first movie, where she tells IMF agent Kittridge that she might have some sort of information to trade with him in lieu of being arrested. Vanessa Redgrave and Vanessa Kirby even bear a certain resemblance to each other (as well as the same first name). When Sean Harris agreed to appear in Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation, he had one request for writer/director Chris McQuarrie: just kill his character so he doesn't get roped into being in several sequels. McQuarrie agreed, but in the end had to betray his promise, leaving Solomon Lane alive to re-appear in this movie. He doesn't even kill Lane here, either! George comments that the movie portrays MI6 as evil, but frankly, it doesn't portray the American agencies as much better, since Alec Baldwin's Hunley and Angela Bassett's Erika Sloane have to be convinced to play things Hunt's way in Rogue Nation and this movie, respectively. Overall, I think Fallout at least makes some attempt to explore the sacrifices and contradictions that a character like Ethan faces all the time in terms of what matters most, and I think the portrayal of MI6 is not much different than that. When they do the switch with Benji in the mask and Lane, Lane doesn't blow their plan because he doesn't know it. He was knocked out when it was being discussed and I don't think he has enough information to ruin it in the brief moment he sees Walker before he's taken away. It is true that Tom Cruise broke his leg doing the jump shot in the movie. If you look it up, he discusses it on the Graham Norton show in a video you can find on here. For more Henry Cavill, I highly recommend his other contemporary movie adaptation of a classic spy TV show. In 2015, he appeared in Guy Ritchie's The Man From U.N.C.L.E., which is based on a show that ran from 1964 to 1968. It's such a fun, slick little spy thriller and would make for an excellent palate cleanser after you've done Dead Reckoning Part One and are waiting for Part Two (currently partially completed, but in limbo due to the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike). Lastly, while there have been two-parters throughout movie history, this summer was heavy with them. In addition to Mission: Impossible and Spider-Verse, Fast X was also the first half of a two-part finale.

She leaned in an whispered "I've been trying to reach you about your car's extended warranty."

On the point of skydiving, to move laterally you angle your body to deflect the air as you pass through it much like how a wing works. Rectangular parachutes also allow for the same by pulling the lines and changing the shape of the chute

3:02 The game series you're looking for is Hitman. No brotherhood nonsense, no trailing missions or unlocking towers, just traveling the world and finding the best ways to kill highly dangerous specific targets. Highly reccommend, especially the new run of games/series revamp from 2016 on.

31:38 that cliff is in Norway. 600 meter drop to the fjord. I sat on the edge there once :D

Isla whispering: “I’ve seen Simon’s peg”

Awesome reaction guys!!😊first off the "He's mine now"comment hilarious George i also agree with Simone i love that they brought back Michelle Monahan(Julia) back and the whisper is i think Julia passing the torch of Ethans love maybe something along the lines of "he will be loved" Also i'm so happy i got my Patron shoutout in this video (MovieDan)😁 it caught me completley off guard haha ive followed your channel since it formed and its easily my favourite reaction channel!! Just wish you guys still had your Star wars and Indiana Jones reactions but yeah bring on Dead Reckoning!!

Simons Pegg 🤣🤣 I actually can't ryt now thats amazing 😂

"But they already did one about nuclear.." becomes a heavy sigh theme of this series.

I think Elsa just said ¨Thank you¨ to Hunt's ex, cause she was a doctor or a medic, any way for taking care of his wounds :)

The White Widow actress plays essentially the same character here as she does in Hobbs and Shaw. I'm pretty sure they even reuse that same mansion for a similar scene, but with Shaw's girlfriend's all girl gang gearing up.

True fact - Tom Cruise actually flew the helicopter in the dive and operated 8 cameras to record his stunt, and a trained helicopter stunt pilot said that it was a very different stunt for even a trained stunt pilot!

"Simon's Peg," thanks for another sound bite to add to the ringtone😂

When skydiving you can move side to side as you're falling because of the current or something, I learned this as part of my training Solomon Lane was hyperventilating to trick his brain into thinking he had more oxygen than he had because he was going underwater. Tom Cruise did breal his ankle and they used his take because that's the rule in cinema. Planes and Helicopters have different ways of working, i think irl Tom Cruise can fly both but they still operate differently The actor that George couldn't remember is Wes Bently and he's confusing him for Adam Scott

the fact that the shot that ended in the movie where he gets up after he jumped over the roofs and runs, he did this with a broken feet (he broke it landing) and still run until it was cut because u cant redo that with a broken feet ... its CRAZY normal people cry when they break their feet, tom cruise gets up and runs with a broken feet until u cut the scene xD ... and then needs months off as well xD

Duuudddee, that motorcycle chase was like 3 mins long and showed 7 seconds of it??? Crazy 😢

This is my favourite out of the franchise. And the cliff scene was shot in Norway.

Vanessa Kirby, who plays the White Widow, played Princess Margaret on The Crown.

Not hot oil, but helicopter fuel that spilled onto his face, which is incredibly caustic. The facial damage was actually chemical burns.

the bicep "reload" was to warm up his arms because of a lot or repetitive movements and they had to shoot that bathroom fight scene so many times.

25:39 "Go get some scarves" HAHAA! Great Comment. That Rock is in Norway (I'm in Sweden so I know, bit envious... 🙂) Preikestolen or Prekestolen (English: 'The Pulpit Rock', 'Pulpit', or 'Preacher's Chair') is a tourist attraction in the municipality of Strand in Rogaland county, Norway. Preikestolen is a steep cliff which rises 604 metres (1,982 ft) above Lysefjorden.

The final scene up on the mountain has been shot on Preikestolen in Norway. You can hike up there, and many people do, but it is scary as f***. Highly recommend!!! 👍

"PUDDING!" That's got to be a Dean Winchester reference. 🤣

Early in the video George says he wants this to be the new Assassins Creed, I think a large part of the appeal of AC is the historical stuff though, representing sometimes under utilized historical settings in videogames. However there was an old series that'd have been perfect to turn into this kinda thing, Mercenaries, first one was an early open world game set in a North Korea that's gone hot with China, South Korea, the Russian mafia and the US all on the ground and you're playing as a Mercenary who can work with any and all of them for intel (they all get pissed if you're working for all of them though unless you do it covertly, had quite a cool system for that). Very silly plot of course but it worked perfectly for what they needed. You're trying to hunt down the deck of 52 who are the top NK generals and such, most of them apart from the aces were out in the open world and you could just find them if you went out and about or you could do missions to get intel on their locations. Think the sequel was set in Venezuela, had a more mixed reception with some pretty nasty bugs and then the company got shut down shortly afterwards before they could really fix it, an early casualty in that gen of EAs habit of buying studios and closing them down.

"I don't think he made that jump" yes, Tom Cruise broke his ankle in that jump...

I wish for once George would discover the “twist” WHEN it happens, as opposed to an hour before. Just pretend to be surprised damnit!😂

"My name's Simone ...I'm awkward." - DefeatedByGeorge

Ilsa smelled Julia's hair to learn what shampoo she uses to give Ethan that olfactory memory. When will the "Simon's Pegg" t-shirt be in the store?

This film is the reason they had to, really poorly, wash out Cavill's moustache for Superman in Batman V Superman. Apparently, there is just no realistic way to fake a moustache...

I'm going to believe that pudding is a supernatural reference and that's why I love you two.

Ah, the one where Henry Cavill manages to grow back his stubble and his shirt pocket simply by reloading his arms.

Whispered in the ear: “Simon’s Peg”

Ilsa either said "Thank you." or "He's mine now." Personally, I go with the latter.

The thing about Luther is that he's flawed. And part of that flaw is worrying too much about Ethan, to the point where he tells people Ethan care about to back out and leave, not thinking whether Ethan deserves to tell the people he cares about himself.

The intro of this one made me laugh so hard for minutes hahahahsuh I love this movie. I love the throwbacks and the team being complete with the new additions and the history of it all. Lane is a great villain and I liked Cavill as the bad guy. It is not something we see often but to me, it makes sense that the bad guy is not someone that looks like the standard bad guy since he was supposed to be an agent and be working alongside the good side, so he has to be charismatic and kinda charming to pull it off. It just makes more sense in my head haha The stunts again, are awesome but I really liked the plot of this one.

Ilsa whispered "Your fly's open." 😉

2:08 so happy to hear this reference. The dark brotherhood doors were so cool. “Silence, my brother.” “Innocence, my brother.”

The sort of deception the IMF employs in the beginning was used a couple of times in the original show.

"Pudding" "Climb Faster!" & "He's Mine now " all need to be on t-shirts :D The Cavill double-pump is everything. You so need to see these in IMAX (this one is my personal fave of the franchise ; and damn, wait until you get to DEAD RECKONING :D )

RAID - French Police unit, stands for Recherche, Assistance, Intervention, Dissuasion

Maybe they didn't want her husband to overhear since he seemed to be clueless about the true nature of her relationship with Ethan

George is so inocent. When more than 2 people are in the stall it means they are eating nose sugar.

"Okay... Into Avernus" George is still playing Baldur's Gate 3 I see. lol

Solomon: You should have killed me, Ethan Sean Ambrose: You shoulda killed me! Also, Hunt whispering: sorry.

If you watch the scene in London where Cruise jumps across the buildings, the actual take used in the film is the one where he broke his foot on landing, and the limp is real and not acting.

11:17 Rebecca Ferguson. The best part about Fallout, has entered the scene. Her character Ilsa Faust is a gem. The MVP of the movie.

‘Pudding!!!’ - Dean Winchester

Angela Bassett as Director Chase from Alias, but in this movie.

I believe what was whispered at the end, will be revealed in the next movie.

Spare a word for Lorne Balfe's score, it's fantastic.

6:38 indeed he didn’t… well, he did but he didn’t… and not without injury - 24:12 you called it right when you saw him hobbling away, he did indeed break his ankle and filming had to be postponed until he had recovered. When he did, they attempted this stunt a few more times, but weren’t happy with any of the attempts… so the one which he injured himself is the take that made the cut. 27:13 He learned to fly the helicopter for this finale, and did all the stunts (apart from ramming helicopters together of course)… if he’s not an adrenaline junkie, then he’s the bravest man on the planet (I guess he could be both) 33:29 😂😂😂 can we just take a moment here… Rebecca and Michelle are stunners… does TC have it in his contract that Ethan can only attract the planet’s most beautiful people? 35:18 it’s probably something like “I’ll take care of him”… it was something that didn’t require a response, so she wasn’t asking for permission, or anything personal like “is he any good?” (You know what I meant, don’t pretend you didn’t 😂) You guys have caught up to date just in time, MI: Dead Reckoning Part 1 will be out for general release this coming week or so. And I ask again, does TC have it in his contract that Ethan only attracts beautiful people, because they added Hayley Attwell to the cast for MI7

Vanessa Kirby AND Rebecca Ferguson in the same film makes me feel a type of way. lmao

Joseph Seed was inspired by the leader of the cult from Waco that had a standoff with the ATF in the mid 19090s.

32:07 “Did I make it clear that your JOB is at stake?”

You guys are just too much fun =)

Btw Rebecca Ferguson farted in the scene, where she had Sean Harris in her leg chokehold 😂😂

"Simon's Pegg" had me rolling!!!! 😂😂😂 BTW, what I think Ilsa whispered to Julia was.... "He's still in love with you."

I didn’t catch this the first few times I saw this film but Vanessa Kirby’s character (The White Widow) is the daughter of Max (Vanessa Redgrave’s character) from the first Mission: Impossible film That’s an impressive callback!

7:15 yes this movie was the reason for Henry Cavill's terrible mustache CGI in Joss Whedon's Justice Leauge.

The movie, 36 Hours, with James Garner uses the same fake that they do at the beginning of this movie to try and find out where the D-day landing will be. It encompasses the entirety of the run time.

24:13 fractured his ankle. The production had to be delayed for atleast 5-6 months because of that.

I'm not sure about inspiration for Joseph Seed, but he didn't set off the nukes in FC5.

He will henceforth be called Simon's Pegg.😂

Simone's freudian slip "Simon's peg" and they haven't even started the movie 🤣

The Halo jump out of the plane was real with CGI storm around them

34:10 oh George. Just wait for the plot of MI7 hahaha

The whisper, all this orbiting Tom Cruise and no "Praise Xenu" or something?

Ethan has the ultimate work wife

lol Simon's Pegg shall live forever

Fun fact 1: that shot where Cavill "reloads his biceps" has two additional elements to look for upon rewatch. As he steps forward while making that move, the lighting changes so it looks like he grows a beard in a millisecond - and a breast pocket appears on his shirt. It's a remarkable shot. Fun fact 2: Yes, Tom Cruise really did break his foot on that jump. That take is in the movie. He finished the shot, climbed up and kept running/limping - on a broken foot. Adrenaline + insanity = amazing stunts. These movies just keep getting bigger and better. The stunts keep getting more and more insane. When McQ started writing/directing these they just leapt forward in scale and entertainment - and IMHO Dead Reckoning isn't just the best of the series, it's one of the best movies of the year for me (with Oppenheimer being the best by a comfortable mile).

Reacting to this has ‘We don’t care what we watch, anymore’ vibes

James Bond from the 007 novels isn't magically good at everything either. He spends most of his time studying stuff in and office and a minimum amount of time doing actual fieldwork. In Live and Let Die he actually takes like 2 weeks to train diving before he goes after the main villain.

The biggest and best of the bunch. Christopher Mcquarrie as director just raising the bar even more than before to a major level. In IMAX, it was a must see and no way you saw it first in another format. Henry Cavill as August Walker (wow). Vanessa Kirby as The White Widow and daughter of a character from M-I:1 (cool). Baldwin & Bassett as the bosses (hell yeah). Few months later. Early 2019 in fact; Cruise, Paramount and Skydance annouced back to back sequels. One for 2021 and one for 2022. Of course, everything was pushed back to now and all worth waiting for. Glad you enjoyed all the missions so far. M-I:7, Dead Reckoning part 1 was incredible too and you won't be disappointed.

The skydive was real - although someone decided to add cgi lightingstorm to it...

During film Tom Cruise injured himself doing the jumps from the roofs. They left it in.

She whispered "Your new husband's hotter...and younger!"

MI3 is my favorite. But Fallout is #2. From start to finish, it was amazing. And Solomon Lane is the 2nd best villian of the series behind Owen Davian

Will never forgive this movie for filming something as awesome as that skydive and then smearing CGI stormclouds all over it so it might as well be done on a soundstage

The guy you said "why do I know this face?". He is in Yellowstone.

The mustache...was worth it.

The “husband” played Jamie Dutton in Yellowstone

29:41 a backbreaking manoeuvre

This movie has Henry Cavill picking Tom Cruise up by the scruff like a cat and flinging him. What other movie is gonna give you that?

34:58 what would Simone say is the real question

I think Crusie a full-blown sociopath, but has some external control system of being in mad good movies.

Maybe she said, "I'll take care of him."

I Lost it with Simone's CLIMB FASTER! 😅
