Who wants to watch Tom Cruise's ankle shatter in slow-mo?

submitted by simonm

6 years 2 months 3 weeks ago

We’ve heard a lot about the ankle-breaking on-set accident that knocked Tom Cruise off the set of Mission: Impossible - Fallout (formerly Mission: Impossible 6) for a few months; Cruise’s thrill-seeker penchant for doing his own stunts is well-documented, and the accident ultimately forced filming on the movie to go on hiatus. We’ve even seen footage of the stunt, which made its way onto the internet shortly after the incident occurred. But we’d never seen it from a truly ankle-based point of view, rendered in loving slow-motion, the better to pinpoint the exact moment that Cruise’s ankle snaps.

Until now.

Tom Cruise may be crazy, but damn is he a hard working actor. I don't think anybody can question his commitment to his projects. Everybody who works with him says he's like a machine when he's on the job, just solely focused on getting the shot and making the movie as entertaining as possible.

Stuff like this any other actor would get a stunt double to do, but he's said repeatedly that he always wants to do the stunts himself if possible because he feels the audience can tell when the doubles take over. And the stuntmen totally respect him because at this point in his career he's as good at it as any veteran stuntman.

I wonder though if Tom Cruise movies have higher insurance costs because he insists on doing his own stunts.

Where's your Xenu NOW, Tom?

I think Xenu is the bad guy in that story. So Xenu would have attached a weak Thetan to Tom to make him unable to complete the stunt successfully.

Where's your Xenu NOW, Tom?
