…and yes, Tom Cruise is REALLY CLIMBING the building. There is no green screen. No CGI. He climbs it and then runs down it and swings on the rope. There is some amazing behind the scenes footage. This is when Mission Impossible really became a global super franchise because the world realized that Cruise performs all his own stunts for real!!! 👍
@@nightking0130 obviously. No insurance company on the planet would allow him to do that. My point is that we live in a world where CGI dominates movies and most people just assume that it’s special effects and it’s nothing special when in reality what we are watching is something extremely special.
Ghost Protocol is like the start of a newer Mission Impossible trilogy. Gadgets malfunction like ALL the time and the characters have to rely on their wit and each other to complete missions, the actions scene are INSANE - and I'm all for it! 🤣
@23:10 “Tom didn’t actually do this stunt, did he?” Yes. Yes he did. He did parts of it on sections of the building that were only 80 feet off the ground, and on other parts there are ropes and cables that were painted out in post production. But yes. Tom Cruise climbed up the side of the tallest building in the world. One of my favorite Tom Cruise stories comes from Matt Damon who had dinner with Tom and asked him about the stunt. Tom talked about how he’d been dreaming of this stunt for fifteen years and explained it to the safety guy on the film, who said, “you can’t do that. It’s too dangerous.” According to Matt Damon, when Tom told him this story, Tom then said, “So we got another safety guy,” which is the most Tom Cruise thing anyone has ever said.

It is crazy and RARE that a franchise gets BETTER. It's usually the opposite (i.e. Terminator, Aliens, etc.) where the best films are always the first.
The collaboration of director Christopher McQuarrie and Tom Cruise took "Rogue Nation" and "Fallout" to the next level. Can't wait for you to see these two movies.
This franchise continues to deliver with every installment. Tom Cruise has a brilliant filmography where most of his movies are top notch. Do react to Tom Cruise hidden gems like Edge of Tomorrow and American Made
This is definitely from beginning to end my favorite out of the franchise and I love them all! And yes Tom did the Dubai stunt and about 90% of all stunts seen. Makes it so much more realistic.
This for me this where Tom Cruise literally became Ethan Hunt and Mission: Impossible stopped being a great action/spy franchise and turned out to be the definitive action franchise of the century. Everything is next level here but the stunts are incredible ! . The scene where he climbs and jumps FOR REAL of the Burj Khalifa is one of the most ballsy things anyone could do and one of my favorite scenes ever. Tom Cruise is a legend ! Oh and excellent job with the intro 😂
Honestly. In my opinion. This is one of the very few sagas that keep getting better with each movie. Plus, Tom Cruise never disappoints in these movies. Always so entertaining and fun!
This film really amped up the stakes and stunts and just about everything in the series...and it just keeps getting better. Can't wait for the next 2 reactions to the MI series. Buckle up Cassie and Carly, you're in for a great ride.
Still my favorite of the franchise, just for the entire Dubai sequence alone! I remember watching it with my Dad in the cinema and just being so amazed from start to finish!
The franchise is so well done. Maybe a few missed parts sure but the fact that they keep coming out with action packed scenes from start to finish is incredible
@@truemenimprovedaily The second film is the only one that I'd consider a disappointment, and even that has some fun little moments in it. It's honestly remarkable that this series has been able to maintain such a high level of quality for so long
@@BIGE1312 I saw 5 and 6. 5 was a slight step down for me, but I still enjoyed it. And I didn't care very much for 6, but maybe I didn't give it too fair a chance the first time and need to watch it again.
In the scene where Ethan is giving all his new agents their phones, I love the fact that he says "Agent Carter" as the camera cuts to, "Hawkeye", Jeremy Renner
I love how all their normally-reliable IMF tech fails them in this instalment, which just increases the tension while also allowing for some levity and humourous moments to play out as well, its a great balance. I've gone backwards and forwards for the past few years on whether Ghost Protocol is still my favourite of the series or the next one (Rogue Nation) topped it, haha, they're both enjoyable entries with inventive and fun set pieces, and characters that are likeable. Looking forward to the next reaction.
Yes, Tom was on the outside of that building. For real. He was wired up with safety equipment, but he really was on the outside of that building, that high up.
18:10 "Your mission, should you choose to accept it..." I literally just realized he should _not_ have said that line, because, for all intents and purposes, he basically self-destructed 5 seconds after giving the mission. 😅
This movie is action gold. The Burj Khalifa climbing sequence causes me genuine anxiety every time I watch it. Simon Pegg is fantastic, and Jeremy Rinner kills it too right before he became Hawkeye to the world. Fun fact; this movie was directed by Brad Bird, who also made The Incredibles and Ratatouille.
Cassie's 'commercial' at the beginning, with Angel Eyes from The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, was GREAT!!! And the long intro before the movie, Cassie and Carly chatting, was my favorite part of this video; I think it'd be really fun to just hang out with these two. They're my favorite reactors 👍👍🍿🍿
When Cruise told the film's safety guy the plan for the building climb/stunt, the safety guy told him it wasn't safe & they couldn't do it - So Cruise got a new safety guy.
I have just discovered your channel and have been binge watching it all day!! It is like sharing my favourite movies with new friends! I love your honest reactions. It was a joy to spend the day with you!
Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, commonly known as "the one where none of their spy tech works", and it's all the more impressive for the fact that they have to work around all these technology failures.
I remember watching this in the theater with my family. Ghost Protocol is my favorite Mission Impossible movie. The stunts, the action, the story, the locations, the team and their futuristic equipment were all amazing.
The one thing I love about this movie is that their equipment constantly malfunctions and the crew have to use their wits and instincts to get their job done. Thats such a cool way of grounding things and changing things up.
Just listening to you two chatting to each other and having a laugh in these videos.... gets me thinking, I would have an absolute blast spending the day hanging out with you two, just watching movies all day, eating popcorn and having lots of laughs. You make us feel like we know you, whereas in reality we don't really know that much about you (sorry I've not done any of the live streams - Aussie time isn't very compatible - so you probably have told everyone lots about yourselves over in those videos). I'm sure so many of your subs must feel the same way as you two are so down to earth and relatable, not to mention funny and gorgeous. Sorry, I don't mean for my comment to sound flirty. I'm an older, married guy, but I'm just trying to give you some genuinely honest feedback and a healthy dose of positive encouragement.
24:08 "I've had this stunt in mind for 15 years, so I've got a safety guy to do the stunt, and he says: 'You can't do that, it's too dangerous'. So I got another safety guy."
Hi Cassie hi Carly, it's so good to have you back! I see a lot of suggestions coming in early in the comments. I'm going to try again with this one, Quigley down under. I truly think that you girls would absolutely love it! Tom Selleck at his best. A western that takes place in Australia! And a love story as well. It is just the type of movie you two need.
This is probably my favorite of the series. The cast is great and play well off each other, it's well paced and balanced, and Simon Pegg adds the perfect amount of comic relief but still has stuff to do in the movie. He was kind of under utilized in Part 3. This is where he becomes one of the better recurring characters next to Ving Rhames IMO.
Not only did Tom 100% climb the Burg Khalifa (on wires), but also him and the stunt team for fun one morning for lols flew a helicopter to the top and got Tom to sit up there without wires and it you see the pictures he's unsettlingly chill about the whole thing.
I was eating lunch across from Burj Khalifa..across the reflecting pools were buses w/ Mission Impossible stenciled on the side. That night Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes were having dinner w/ the Emir of Dubai and, yes sandstorm like that do happen. Keep up the FANtastic reactions.
If you've ever seen 'Lost', you can't help but watch that opening scene and imagine it's just Sawyer pulling another scam. If you haven't seen 'Lost', by the way, watch 'Lost'.
I work weird hours and live alone so I'm pretty much always by myself. It's kinda nice to watch movies with you guys 😂 Glad you're OK Carly. I love this franchise. Can't wait for you to react to the rest of the MI movies 😁
As I’ve mentioned before, I think the franchise turned itself around with the third installment. That’s become a personal favorite of mine. But every new installment has just gotten leaps and bounds better from there. Better stories, better team building and character development, and especially better action and stunt sequences. 4 is good for the crazy skyscraper climbing sequence and the huge sandstorm. But I can’t wait till you get to part 5 and 6.
Benji and Luther becoming backbones to the group is something they needed. You need some continuance beyond just Tom for the world building. Excellent series.
@@slayerje1884 I agree, Benji, Luther, and the next member they pick up in Rogue Nation form a great support team for Ethan. Continuity is important and I’m glad it seems this will be the core group to close out the series in 7 and 8.
i remember this period was when tom cruise was still getting blowback from his 2005 meltdown, there was apparently serious discussion about getting brad pitt or another star to take over this series
Great reaction ladies. 4, 5 & 6 are all next level action movies which seem to up the ante each time. As said by others the Burj scene alone is worth the ticket price. And he did most of that himself. I love the little callback to MI3 were he pulls a ‘Fulcrum’ with the firehose to get back down the building. Just brilliant. Keep up the great reviews👍👍👍👍
Thanks for another great reaction from the both of you! It's fun seeing you enjoy this series. A shoutout to Micke Nyqvist. It was fun seeing him make his mark in larger international projects and he did a great job here as "Hendricks" but tragically enough we won't ever see him in anything more in the future. I remember the day he passed as I was working with friends and collegues of his at the time. Thanks for the preformances Micke!
So glad you enjoyed it! And it's still getting only better from here. TC of course did the climbing on the Burj stunt including the swing and the fall/run down. The still photographer on set did a making of book about this movie and the behind the scenes footage is easily as crazy as what you see in the movie. There obviously were safety cables but there were also camera helicopters very close to TC etc. It's just breathtaking. Have fun with 5 & 6 🧨
I'm really not the type of guy watching reaction videos but I took an exception for you channel. Love your reactions and I kinda like revisiting movie I watched with a faster pacing.
I'm so sorry to hear about Carly's accident. Hope she's doing ok. ❤ I know we'd all miss that awesome, sunny, Sailor Moon-style smile if she had to step away (seriously, the sweetest smile since Alyson Hannigan). 👍
YES! Been waiting SO long for this one! Can't wait for you to watch Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation. The CASABLANCA of Mission Impossible films. My all-time favourite Tom Cruise film.
As I am sure others have said, yes, Tom Cruise actually did the stunts on the Burj Khalifa. My hands are also sweaty every time I watch that part of the movie. The shots they got were so amazing and everything about what they had to do to shoot those scenes is pretty ridiculous. It's one of the biggest reasons why this movie is a huge favorite for a lot of the fans, and it is the exact point where people went all in on the series.
@@Rowgue51 He doesn't do all of them but, he does do a lot more than most. For insurance/safety reasons, movies have to use stunt doubles (or at least have them available) for certain things. From what I've heard from people in the industry, he does as many stunts as a production will literally allow him to do and some of the things he's somehow managed to convince them into letting him do are just ridiculous. Good tip: they usually draw the line at actors taking hits so, things like Ethan smacking into the window on his way back in was probably a stunt double but, lower impact things like him running facedown the Burj Khalifa and swinging around it were Tom.
This is one of my favourites of the movies because of how they're working with failing equipment, lack of resources and very little planning/going in completely blind. At the end they become really close friends because of it all.
Fantastic reaction! Watching this in the theatres was, i kid you not, exhilarating. Of all the MI's this is probably my favourite. The subsequent ones are really good too, but this one, for me anyway, takes the cake. Looking forward to the next one!
Just had to thank you for costing me $20... I hadn't seen Maverick yet, seen you reacted to so I bought and watched. 😂 Side note, now your getting into the best of M I series, look forward to this one and especially Fallout!
It's amazing how this series only gets better from here on out. The first three movies are fine. But from Ghost Protocol on, this series actually becomes amazing.
This series is so fun to watch and I'm loving the reactions. Die hard with a vengeance (part 3) is one of my all time favourite action movies that has the non stop/against the clock feel of speed so would love you ladies to continue with that series too. You made my week in the last livestream by confirming you're going to do a Robin hood run of movies after my pleading week in week out for robin hood prince of thieves ❤️. Glad to hear An interview with the vampire is also on the cards as well, I guess you couldn't say no to long haired Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise in the lead roles 😂
If you like the actress who played Sabine, Lea Seydoux, then you'll love her in Blue is the Warmest Color. 😉 Also Midnight in Paris and the last two James Bond films.
3:29 Honestly, I find the 3rd movie the least memorable as well. Likely b/c J.J. Abram's filmmaking style is pretty generic compared to Brian De Palma's & John Woo's. From this 4th movie on, I think the series has become more controlled by Cruise rather than the directors. Hence, their styles are more alike as opposed to the first three movies.
Oh this is going to be fun.. there is an amazing photo of Tom sitting on top of the tower of the Burj Khalifa over 2700 feet up. I highly suggest you two should take a quick look at it. As we know he does his own stunts.. This one is when he really started pushing the envelope as a stuntman.
My favorite M:I film. The later ones may be stuntacular. But I love the camaraderie, the gadgets, the humor, the neck breaking pace, the sense of fun (easily the most fun of the series) and how it really captures the feel of the original TV series.
So I lived in Southern Arizona for a year, Yes sandstorms like that happen, they call them Haboob. Usually there are big car pileups because people cannot see where the roads are.
This was a great reaction to my second favourite of this amazing spy-movie series (my favourite is still the first one). The intro with your parody of "The Good, The Bad & The Ugly" was priceless! :D And I definitely enjoyed how deeply you two got immersed in this movie and kept guessing for clues of what would happen next. You were actually faster than me when you figured out that it was the "Big Bad" Hendricks who disguised himself as Winstrom in the Dubai scene. He was played, by the way, by the amazing swedish actor Michael Nyqvist who sadly passed away way too early in 2017. He was the original Mikael Blomkvist in the swedish adaptation of "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" and its sequels, starred again alongside Paula Patton in the great drama "Disconnect" and played also russian villains in the first "John Wick" and the, ehum, not very good movie "Abduction" with Taylor Lautner. But the thing is, he is both great as a hero and as a villain. I'm sure that he would have starred in many more great roles hadn't he died. About this movie as a whole: I just love it! Be it the insane stunts, the intense action and scheming scenes, the clever plot, Paula Patton in her most badass role to date (I'd have loved it if she'd return for one of the sequels and I so hope that she will maybe sometime in the future!), Jeremy Renner as another nice, likable addition to the main-cast, the great chemistry between the team-members, the music... I could go on forever! Only the first one beats this in my opinion, but "Ghost Protocol" ist definitely one of the highlights of the "Mission: Impossible"-series and also one of the greatest action movies ever made!
I feel like you spent more time talking about popcorn than the movie this reaction, Which felt very distracting. Unfortunately, this is the first video you have made that I disliked. Hope, this isn't a thing going forwards, 'cause you're one of my fave channels.
