Mission Impossible, the movie franchise. My enthusiasm will will come

00:00:53.320 --> 00:00:55.799
actually my most favorite film franchises of all time.

Hi guys, it's Adam Allen broadcasting from Newark International Airport.
16
00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:18.400
I just finished off parts two and three of my
17
00:01:18.519 --> 00:01:21.200
interview with Ian Summerholder, but this is an.
18
00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:24.000
Introduction to part one, which.
19
00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:28.560
You'll be viewing shortly. I had an amazing dialogue with Ian. Ian,
20
00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:32.000
as you know, is the superstar behind Damon of Vampire Diaries,
21
00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:36.480
but also an amazing philanthropist as well as a guide
22
00:01:36.480 --> 00:01:39.120
that has been teaching the world about the dangers of
23
00:01:39.239 --> 00:01:45.560
bad soil tilling and the good qualities of regenerative agriculture.
24
00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:49.319
He's also, of course, the founder of Ian Summerholder Foundation,
25
00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:53.920
which has done charitable work now for several decades. In
26
00:01:53.959 --> 00:01:56.680
my conversation with Ian, part one of which you're about
27
00:01:56.719 --> 00:01:59.879
to view, we had a fantastic talk on the early
28
00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:03.000
parts of his career. I didn't know if you knew
29
00:02:03.040 --> 00:02:05.359
that he was a model at one point, although you
30
00:02:05.359 --> 00:02:08.680
wouldn't be surprised looking at the dude, and had a
31
00:02:08.719 --> 00:02:14.759
fascinating early start in television and film which prefaces his
32
00:02:14.919 --> 00:02:17.240
amazing run on Vampire Diaries.
33
00:02:18.280 --> 00:02:19.680
So today we present.
34
00:02:19.479 --> 00:02:22.120
To you part one of my interview with Ian Summerholder,
35
00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:24.800
and I hope you enjoyed my dialogue with them.
36
00:02:24.719 --> 00:02:31.919
As much as I did. Ian summer Holder, Welcome to
37
00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:33.840
the Creation Entertainment Interview.
38
00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:35.479
How are you, my dear brother.
39
00:02:35.960 --> 00:02:38.800
I'm just fantastic. It's great to see you again and
40
00:02:39.319 --> 00:02:41.120
see you man. I think pretty well much all of
41
00:02:41.159 --> 00:02:44.759
our viewers know that Ian is our fantastic top liner.
42
00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:48.639
Along with his partner Crime Paul Wesley at the official
43
00:02:48.919 --> 00:02:53.840
Vampire Weekends, which of course really are about Vampire Diaries,
44
00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:57.280
your wonderful show, but there's so much more to the
45
00:02:57.319 --> 00:03:01.039
great Ian Summer Holder. And I know, of course what
46
00:03:01.080 --> 00:03:04.479
a great heart you've got and what an amazing philanthropist
47
00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:06.879
you are, and some of the amazing causes that you
48
00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:08.879
do that a lot of our viewers don't know about.
49
00:03:08.919 --> 00:03:12.639
So we have a short amount of time, so if
50
00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:15.360
you'll indulge me, we'll get right into it. Hell yeah, brother,
51
00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:17.960
I want to do a little bit of it. Not
52
00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:19.280
sick too deep of a die.
53
00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:21.520
But by the way, Adam, thanks for saying all those
54
00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:24.400
kind things, man, I love and appreciate you. You and
55
00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:27.080
I have known each other for fifteen years. We've been
56
00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:31.039
able to be a part of something very special together.
57
00:03:31.159 --> 00:03:34.400
We've gotten a lot of amazing energy, but we've been
58
00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:38.719
able to make a lot of people happy together through
59
00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:42.240
your genius and hard work and your team, and it's
60
00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:45.879
been nothing short of incredible. So we thank you for
61
00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:49.520
creating this venue, this thing that allows us all to
62
00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:51.599
come together. So thank you, thank you.
63
00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:53.879
The truth is that you're only as good as your
64
00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:57.439
top liners. You and Paul are the consummate professionals at
65
00:03:57.439 --> 00:04:00.599
those shows. Thanks, ma'am aunting on you or you know,
66
00:04:01.240 --> 00:04:04.719
fifteen years you guys have hit your marks. I mean, obviously,
67
00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:07.159
you guys are TV top liners, so you know, if
68
00:04:07.159 --> 00:04:09.599
you don't hit your mark, the whole network can come
69
00:04:09.639 --> 00:04:12.759
crashing down on you. So yeah, your total pros and
70
00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:15.360
we're grateful for that. But I want to first of all,
71
00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:18.000
I wanted to delve a little bit about your upbringing.
72
00:04:18.279 --> 00:04:21.759
Tell me something about Covington and you know, Louisiana, your childhood,
73
00:04:21.800 --> 00:04:24.560
because I mean, I love Louisiana. So what was that
74
00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:28.160
kind of Cajun gumbo that you kind of grew up in.
75
00:04:29.279 --> 00:04:31.360
Man, it's such a special place. You know, I'm the
76
00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:34.680
only person in my family born in Covington on the
77
00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:37.160
North Shore, because everyone else was born in the city
78
00:04:37.160 --> 00:04:39.199
in New Orleans. And my mom just said, I'm not
79
00:04:39.920 --> 00:04:42.920
I'm not doing this. I'm not having this kid in
80
00:04:42.959 --> 00:04:47.800
the city. This one's gonna be different. And she was
81
00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:51.199
a Mississippi farm girl. My dad is a very you know,
82
00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:55.040
French descent.
83
00:04:55.680 --> 00:04:56.959
You know that really.
84
00:04:56.720 --> 00:05:00.759
Cool, awesome happening sort of like Cajun. I always say,
85
00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:03.040
you know, it's I can say this because we're because
86
00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:04.959
I am one. But you know, my mom is the
87
00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:08.120
Mississippi Redneck and my dad is like a bayou kuon ass.
88
00:05:08.120 --> 00:05:12.480
That's what they call them, right, And so the blending
89
00:05:12.519 --> 00:05:15.079
of those two together was really special by virtue of
90
00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:20.079
the fact that I got that that farm life. My
91
00:05:20.279 --> 00:05:25.279
grandfather was an unbelievable farmer my whole family, but also
92
00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:30.879
in an agricultural or agricultural inventor too. In the forties,
93
00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:33.680
he was producing things that I wish he could have
94
00:05:33.680 --> 00:05:36.519
patented them. Oh my gosh, if he had patented this stuff,
95
00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:41.120
we'd be so rich. And then but you know, as
96
00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:47.519
you know, you know, thirty five forty years ago, things
97
00:05:47.560 --> 00:05:51.199
were just so different. And even growing up in the
98
00:05:51.240 --> 00:05:56.240
deep deep South in Louisiana, there was such an enormous
99
00:05:56.319 --> 00:06:00.839
sense of community. It was back when, you know, you
100
00:06:01.480 --> 00:06:04.360
played outside and you rode your bike or your skateboard
101
00:06:04.439 --> 00:06:10.160
or whatever it was, or your horse, and you partied
102
00:06:10.199 --> 00:06:14.560
outside with your friends, climbing, jumping. You know, when people
103
00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:16.720
got in fights, they grappled on the ground and they
104
00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:19.680
yelled at each other, and then the lights king street
105
00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:23.720
lights came on and you hauled ass home, you know,
106
00:06:24.439 --> 00:06:27.199
and as you were hauling ass home, you could see
107
00:06:27.279 --> 00:06:30.480
other moms and dads opening the doors to their houses
108
00:06:30.519 --> 00:06:33.279
about to yell, and they're like a mere mom, because
109
00:06:33.279 --> 00:06:34.720
then the one thing you didn't want to do is
110
00:06:35.240 --> 00:06:37.199
you didn't want to You didn't want them to have
111
00:06:37.240 --> 00:06:39.720
to yell. You wanted to get there right before, you know.
112
00:06:41.399 --> 00:06:44.839
But growing up on the Bayous and the rivers of Covington,
113
00:06:44.959 --> 00:06:51.120
Mandeville and Lacombe, Louisiana was really really special. I got
114
00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:57.959
that by you, you know, low lying area experience, meaning
115
00:06:59.600 --> 00:07:03.439
we we well we also too, you know, like listen,
116
00:07:03.519 --> 00:07:07.680
we were very very poor. We you know, we you know,
117
00:07:07.800 --> 00:07:11.639
we were very intimately engaged with the poverty line. But
118
00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:15.199
you didn't know it really really, you know, I might
119
00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:18.480
have only had like two pairs of shoes in that sense,
120
00:07:18.519 --> 00:07:21.000
you knew it. But like we had all the equipment
121
00:07:21.040 --> 00:07:24.160
we needed, right and food and community and and so
122
00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:27.480
what it was was you lived off of the air
123
00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:31.120
sea land. It was amazing. You know, my grandparents had
124
00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:34.920
a farm. But then you lived off the fish, the shrimp,
125
00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:38.639
the crab, the ducks that fell out of the sky,
126
00:07:38.800 --> 00:07:42.439
Like you lived off of all of these incredible nutrients.
127
00:07:42.600 --> 00:07:46.240
And not nutrias nutrier rats. You don't want to live off.
128
00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:48.519
Of I know, but I mean living off the land
129
00:07:48.800 --> 00:07:53.240
and having this agricultural heritage in your family really informed
130
00:07:54.600 --> 00:07:58.079
the path and direction that you took in your life,
131
00:07:58.240 --> 00:08:03.240
especially right amazing projects in terms of soil replenishment and
132
00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:06.079
so much stuff that you've taught me that we're going
133
00:08:06.160 --> 00:08:09.240
to talk about is really incredible. But before all of
134
00:08:09.240 --> 00:08:12.240
that happened, I mean, because of your fabulous good looks.
135
00:08:12.279 --> 00:08:15.240
I mean, you know, you have some incredible genes where
136
00:08:15.279 --> 00:08:17.639
I mean, you know, you're just a beautiful man. And
137
00:08:17.680 --> 00:08:22.439
I'm not ashamed to say it. You're a gorgeous man. Uh,
138
00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:27.560
with all of your you know, English, Irish, some Native America.
139
00:08:27.600 --> 00:08:30.680
You have a lot of interesting genes in you. But
140
00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:34.960
of course you started with a modeling career, and I
141
00:08:34.960 --> 00:08:38.279
mean you modeled for huge, huge brands. Just tell me
142
00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:41.639
a little bit about your modeling experience, because that sounds
143
00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:44.039
like it would be so much fun. Was Was it
144
00:08:44.080 --> 00:08:46.159
a cool experience? Was it a positive experience?
145
00:08:46.360 --> 00:08:50.759
It was unbelievable, by the way, It's not for everyone. Yeah,
146
00:08:52.679 --> 00:08:59.120
and you know, not being like six' two and a you,
147
00:08:59.120 --> 00:09:03.240

the network to not test anyone opposite. Me and, now mind,
375
00:22:06.359 --> 00:22:09.079
you this is When Lloyd braun was still in, power
376
00:22:09.240 --> 00:22:12.400
our dear Brother. Lloyd BUT abc had a string of
377
00:22:12.440 --> 00:22:16.920
like eight years of really bad, luck so much so
378
00:22:17.039 --> 00:22:21.640
That Lloyd, braun who was a genius who greenlit, Lost
379
00:22:22.039 --> 00:22:25.680
Desperate housewives And Grey's anatomy all in the same, season
380
00:22:26.079 --> 00:22:30.559

381
00:22:30.599 --> 00:22:33.000
go FROM abc in the middle of shooting our. Pilot
382
00:22:33.519 --> 00:22:38.519
that lost pilot was the most expensive pilot ever produced in.
383
00:22:38.640 --> 00:22:40.079
History at the, TIME i think he was fourteen and
384
00:22:40.119 --> 00:22:43.400
a half million. Dollars BUT Jj abrams literally, said AS
385
00:22:43.400 --> 00:22:45.599
i live in breed ladies and Gentlemen ian summer. Holder
386
00:22:45.920 --> 00:22:49.079
he didn't test anyone opposite of. Me AND i got
387
00:22:49.119 --> 00:22:53.839
a call like that that afternoon from my, Manager alyssa Of,
388
00:22:53.839 --> 00:22:57.960
breidenberg who's been my manager for twenty four, years and she, goes,
389
00:22:58.960 --> 00:23:02.839
well here you, Go you're going To, hawaii.
390
00:23:02.839 --> 00:23:08.000
Buddy but you know the fact THAT i wouldn't feel
391
00:23:08.079 --> 00:23:13.039
bad about the character dying Because boone was so. PIVOTAL i,
392
00:23:13.039 --> 00:23:17.160
mean you found the. HATCH i mean it was really really.
393
00:23:17.200 --> 00:23:20.759
Important so it was, brutal, though, Man i'll tell, YOU
394
00:23:21.160 --> 00:23:23.599
i look back AND i realized the error of my,
395
00:23:23.680 --> 00:23:26.319
Ways and that's Why damon was a part of My
396
00:23:26.400 --> 00:23:29.960
french fucking polar. Opposite. Right one of the THINGS i
397
00:23:30.000 --> 00:23:32.200
forgot about With boone BECAUSE i was twenty, FIVE i
398
00:23:32.279 --> 00:23:36.920
was so serious about. Everything boone had no, levity whereas
399
00:23:36.920 --> 00:23:40.880
a character Like sawyer Or hurley or any of, them
400
00:23:40.880 --> 00:23:43.799
they had so much. Levity and WHAT i didn't put
401
00:23:43.839 --> 00:23:48.720
together was that the island required, that the roles required.
402
00:23:48.759 --> 00:23:53.519
That and so you, know AGAIN i was a Pretty White,
403
00:23:53.559 --> 00:24:01.279
boy and you learned very quickly and not make yourself,
404
00:24:01.480 --> 00:24:06.319
expendable make yourself. Unexpendable do so much of the, work
405
00:24:06.960 --> 00:24:11.400
carry so much of the weight that it is impossible
406
00:24:11.480 --> 00:24:12.880

seven ran, upstairs did a two hour work, session and
501
00:29:23.799 --> 00:29:27.160
by the TIME i got down to the, CAR i
502
00:29:27.200 --> 00:29:29.160
had a test. DEGREE i had a test.
503
00:29:29.200 --> 00:29:33.279
Deal that's. Crazy, now tell me about Meeting Julie. Pluck to,
504
00:29:33.359 --> 00:29:37.720
me she seems like one of the great showrunner writer's
505
00:29:38.680 --> 00:29:41.200
architects of you, KNOW i just Think julie's a.
506
00:29:41.279 --> 00:29:48.640
Genius she is an incredibly, talented hard working. WOMAN i
507
00:29:48.799 --> 00:29:52.640
cannot tell you WHEN i sit back AND i think
508
00:29:53.640 --> 00:29:59.519
how much she was fielding and in kind of a
509
00:29:59.559 --> 00:30:05.440
sense of what happened to, damon you, KNOW jj was
510
00:30:05.559 --> 00:30:08.640
kind of gone from. Lost don't quote me on, it
511
00:30:08.680 --> 00:30:13.240
but by like episode three of season, one, right.
512
00:30:14.319 --> 00:30:16.920
This is a problem when the showrunner that creates the
513
00:30:16.960 --> 00:30:19.720
show disassociates from the, show it's.
514
00:30:19.599 --> 00:30:20.960
Not, WELL i, mean he was still there to like
515
00:30:21.880 --> 00:30:25.440
conspire a, bit but, Damon, Linda julia knew.
516
00:30:25.480 --> 00:30:30.160
Exactly julie stayed with the. Show, yes did all the
517
00:30:30.160 --> 00:30:32.319
way through the through line of the, show which is
518
00:30:32.319 --> 00:30:33.759
what was so incredible about.
519
00:30:33.759 --> 00:30:37.119
It she, did and it was pretty. Unbelievable and if
520
00:30:37.160 --> 00:30:39.839
you look at what she was able to spawn off of,
521
00:30:39.839 --> 00:30:44.960
that which was The originals and Then, legacies The originals
522
00:30:44.960 --> 00:30:50.440
went for a long. Time and So jules AND i
523
00:30:50.480 --> 00:30:56.559
have had an unbelievable. Journey Kevin williamson And Julie PLECK
524
00:30:57.640 --> 00:31:04.680
i owe an enormous amount. Two kevin took me under his.
525
00:31:04.720 --> 00:31:09.839
Wing he was the older of the, two, crazy highly,
526
00:31:09.920 --> 00:31:15.240
experienced very like no. Bullshit you, Know julie AND i
527
00:31:15.240 --> 00:31:17.440
can sit there and be, like well you know this
528

529
00:31:19.680 --> 00:31:22.119

00:31:22.160 --> 00:31:24.039
YOU i don't like. That you, know he's he's, like
531
00:31:24.400 --> 00:31:25.920

Yes we're here today we talk about The Mission impossible
672
00:39:39.559 --> 00:39:43.360
movie series With Tom, cruise even though as just a
673
00:39:43.400 --> 00:39:47.239
little bit of historical. Context i'm a huge fan and
674
00:39:47.320 --> 00:39:49.559
this is Before You're, born, kid But i'm a huge
675
00:39:49.559 --> 00:39:54.400
fan of the ORIGINAL tv Series martin L Barbara, Bain Leonard. Nimoy,
676
00:39:54.519 --> 00:39:57.760
SO i, mean that was really, amazing BUT i have
677
00:39:57.840 --> 00:39:58.320
to See Peter.
678
00:39:58.400 --> 00:40:01.119
Grades you have to, Say peter Gra, yes me, too
679
00:40:01.159 --> 00:40:03.599
though me, TOO i WAS i watched it in.
680
00:40:03.719 --> 00:40:06.440
Syndication you, KNOW i watched three runs THOUGH i loved.
681
00:40:06.440 --> 00:40:08.079
It, yeah, okay.
682
00:40:07.880 --> 00:40:11.519
BUT i do think that The Tom cruise movie series
683
00:40:11.840 --> 00:40:15.599
has up the game and it's been. Amazing SO i, Think,
684
00:40:15.719 --> 00:40:18.239
kit we're going to do a big overview of the
685
00:40:18.280 --> 00:40:21.199
series leading up to the release of the final. EDITION
686
00:40:21.280 --> 00:40:23.280
i guess this is the end of the, series, right.
687
00:40:23.719 --> 00:40:27.519
Well at this, point, yes but you, know they kind
688
00:40:27.519 --> 00:40:28.719
of leave it a little bit open.
689
00:40:28.840 --> 00:40:31.519
ENDED i Think tom might be done with, it BUT i,
690
00:40:32.199 --> 00:40:32.840
well we'll get to.
691
00:40:32.880 --> 00:40:34.559
It BUT i, think you, know there might be A
692
00:40:34.599 --> 00:40:37.480
mantle passing at some, point you, know not in the,
693
00:40:37.480 --> 00:40:40.480
film But i'm just saying in, generally might reboot it
694
00:40:40.519 --> 00:40:41.079
with somebody.
695
00:40:41.119 --> 00:40:44.239
There, Kit what are some of the through lines of
696
00:40:44.280 --> 00:40:46.039
the entire movie series in your?
697
00:40:46.039 --> 00:40:50.679
Opinion, well, basically you, know starting from the very first,
698
00:40:50.679 --> 00:40:55.199
one which was in nineteen ninety. Six, obviously you know
699
00:40:55.280 --> 00:40:58.239
at that time they were kind of making movies out
700
00:40:58.239 --> 00:40:59.280
of old television.
701
00:40:59.280 --> 00:41:02.440
Series it was something completely and unheard of to.
702
00:41:02.480 --> 00:41:08.400
Do and second saying that is twenty nine years.
703
00:41:08.159 --> 00:41:12.480
Already thirty Years, yep they make a big they make
704
00:41:12.480 --> 00:41:14.800
a big point of that in this final Film Crazy,
705
00:41:15.440 --> 00:41:16.519
yeah ninety ninety.
706
00:41:16.519 --> 00:41:18.000
Six it was directed By brian De.
707
00:41:18.119 --> 00:41:23.519
Palma so he thinks, off, yeah really, GREAT i, mean
708
00:41:23.679 --> 00:41:26.639
very Young Tom cruise at that, point hot off of
709
00:41:26.679 --> 00:41:28.960
everything that he was. Doing so it was you, know
710
00:41:29.519 --> 00:41:33.519
it was certainly something easy for him to slip. Into you,
711
00:41:33.519 --> 00:41:35.639
know there was some characters that were introduced in the
712
00:41:35.760 --> 00:41:39.639
very first one that actually end up making it, through
713
00:41:40.159 --> 00:41:42.760
like all the way through all of the different, movies
714
00:41:43.239 --> 00:41:47.000
Including Vin rains who Plays, luther who becomes a very
715
00:41:47.159 --> 00:41:52.800
integral part of THE imf. Team and he actually only
716
00:41:52.840 --> 00:41:55.440
missed one MOVIE i, think although he appeared at the
717
00:41:55.519 --> 00:41:57.280
very end of it that Was Vision impossible.
718
00:41:57.360 --> 00:42:02.719
Three, No i'm sorry for a ghost. Protocol he's HAD i.
719
00:42:02.760 --> 00:42:04.599
Think range has, had you, know a huge.
720
00:42:04.599 --> 00:42:06.920
Career, yeah, yeah well he's.
721
00:42:07.000 --> 00:42:09.760
Fantastic but, anyway, this this character Of luthor has been
722
00:42:09.800 --> 00:42:13.400
such a you, know very very much of a heart
723
00:42:13.480 --> 00:42:16.760
of the story and heart Of Ethan hunt's story, too
724
00:42:16.800 --> 00:42:20.599
because the basic thing About Ethan hunt is that he
725
00:42:20.599 --> 00:42:23.599
he will sacrifice the.
726
00:42:23.719 --> 00:42:26.440
Most you, know he'll still do all the impossible, missions
727
00:42:26.480 --> 00:42:30.840
but he will he will not you, know he'll sacrifice
728
00:42:30.840 --> 00:42:34.440
something to say this team, basically so he's always about
729
00:42:34.440 --> 00:42:38.159
saving his. Team, anyway the first one was a great
730
00:42:38.199 --> 00:42:41.159
send off to. It you, know had that opening credits
731
00:42:41.199 --> 00:42:43.639
where you, know you've got the little fuse going and
732
00:42:43.679 --> 00:42:46.239
you've got like shots from what's going to happen in the.
733
00:42:46.239 --> 00:42:48.440
MOVIE i love. That that's probably my most favorite thing
734
00:42:48.480 --> 00:42:49.400
about all of the.
735
00:42:49.480 --> 00:42:52.480
MISSION a couple of other motifs from the ORIGINAL tv
736
00:42:52.559 --> 00:42:56.079
series about should you choose to accept this? Mission, yes
737
00:42:56.519 --> 00:42:58.280
it will self, destructive.
738
00:42:58.239 --> 00:43:01.320
Self destruct, yeah, yeah all of that kind of, Stuff
739
00:43:02.400 --> 00:43:04.800
and then of course it became you, know a.
740
00:43:04.760 --> 00:43:08.000
Whole stunt laden situation With Tom. Cruise but the first,
741
00:43:08.079 --> 00:43:10.480
one spice to, say kind of introduced a bunch of
742
00:43:10.559 --> 00:43:14.239
characters that ended up popping. Up but the premise is
743
00:43:14.280 --> 00:43:17.880
that this NEW imf, team which Called Mission, force that's
744
00:43:17.880 --> 00:43:21.239
what i AM f stands, for and they basically take
745
00:43:21.320 --> 00:43:24.000
on the most impossible things to save the, world like
746
00:43:24.079 --> 00:43:24.639
time and time.
747
00:43:24.679 --> 00:43:26.840
AGAIN i, mean that's just the bottom line of.
748
00:43:26.880 --> 00:43:31.039
It but in the first, one you, Know ethan's kind
749
00:43:31.039 --> 00:43:34.079
of of the you, know kind of a new kid
750
00:43:34.119 --> 00:43:37.000
on the block with THE, imf and he's been mentored
751
00:43:37.079 --> 00:43:40.800
By Jim phelps was played By John boyd and the
752
00:43:40.840 --> 00:43:44.960
original also we've Got Henry srsey As, kittridge who's.
753
00:43:44.719 --> 00:43:45.519
Sort of a.
754
00:43:45.519 --> 00:43:50.800
Bureaucrack i'm a government bureaucrat who sometimes LIKES, imf sometimes
755
00:43:50.920 --> 00:43:53.519
is hunting THE. Imf so it just depends on the
756
00:43:53.559 --> 00:43:57.239
situation is but suffice to, say there's there's there's a
757
00:43:57.280 --> 00:44:00.280
lot of. Action and one of the main things that
758
00:44:01.159 --> 00:44:04.239
it's iconic from the first one, is you know is
759
00:44:04.920 --> 00:44:08.599
Uh Tom cruise coming down into this vault called The Black,
760
00:44:08.679 --> 00:44:11.880
vault and he has to be lowered down on a
761
00:44:12.280 --> 00:44:13.400
wire and he literally.
762
00:44:13.440 --> 00:44:17.159
Can't that's actually been, riffed you, know one hundred times
763
00:44:17.280 --> 00:44:22.159
by many many other, shows movies and. TVs so the
764
00:44:22.280 --> 00:44:23.920
very iconic. Scene.
765
00:44:24.239 --> 00:44:29.199
Yeah so and you know he has To this vault
766
00:44:29.280 --> 00:44:32.199
is so hyper sensitive because it has the most you
767
00:44:32.199 --> 00:44:36.800
know whatever information that's so classified that any sort of
768
00:44:37.559 --> 00:44:40.960
variation in temperature or breathing or anything can set off the.
769
00:44:41.000 --> 00:44:43.360
Alarms and so at one point he's sweating and he
770
00:44:44.039 --> 00:44:45.000
catches the drop of.
771
00:44:45.039 --> 00:44:48.840
Sick, anyway the character who kind of who is the
772
00:44:48.920 --> 00:44:52.480
architect of The Black, Vault William dullow very small part
773
00:44:52.519 --> 00:44:57.119
played By. Rocks Ralph saxton is the guy's. Name he,
774
00:44:57.719 --> 00:45:00.360
too will come up at the very last in this
775
00:45:00.480 --> 00:45:03.239
last movie as, well which was a great little surprise
776
00:45:03.360 --> 00:45:04.079
return of his.
777
00:45:04.199 --> 00:45:06.199
Character but, yeah great great.
778
00:45:06.239 --> 00:45:08.960
Film there was a great chase scene with a helicopter
779
00:45:09.199 --> 00:45:13.519
on a train inside of a. Tunnel you, know always always.
780
00:45:13.239 --> 00:45:16.800
The best of the of the you, know action, sequences
781
00:45:17.280 --> 00:45:18.320
possible practical.
782
00:45:18.400 --> 00:45:22.239
Scenes, yes, Yes so then we got to, two which
783
00:45:22.360 --> 00:45:26.280
came out in two thousand and that was directed By
784
00:45:26.360 --> 00:45:31.719
john wu another, great great action. Director he's, yeah he's
785
00:45:33.119 --> 00:45:35.880
he's you know great and and for some, reason the
786
00:45:36.400 --> 00:45:39.719
second film definitely didn't measure up to the first film
787
00:45:40.039 --> 00:45:43.840
in many, regards but also sort of got pushed aside
788
00:45:44.079 --> 00:45:46.519
in the sense that it didn't really follow through except
789
00:45:46.559 --> 00:45:48.519
for a few key things that happen in.
790
00:45:48.559 --> 00:45:49.480
It it's kind of.
791
00:45:49.920 --> 00:45:53.880
More of of a throwaway. One but the standouts For
792
00:45:54.000 --> 00:45:58.840
Tandy newton as as sort of a.
793
00:45:57.840 --> 00:46:02.199
Thief slash someone who gets kind Of they always bring
794
00:46:02.280 --> 00:46:04.840
these sort of what DO i.
795
00:46:04.880 --> 00:46:07.599
Want to call, him misfits of some.
796
00:46:07.719 --> 00:46:10.840
Kind they've either done something wrong or they you, know
797
00:46:10.840 --> 00:46:13.239
and they always kind of bring them into THE imf
798
00:46:13.280 --> 00:46:13.920
and some some.
799
00:46:14.039 --> 00:46:19.000
Fashion you, know she was amazing In, westworld.
800
00:46:18.320 --> 00:46:21.480
Oh, yes and she's beautiful in. This there's lots of
801
00:46:21.519 --> 00:46:24.119
chemistry between she And Tom grews in this. ONE i
802
00:46:24.119 --> 00:46:27.679
guess the main the main stunt in this one was
803
00:46:27.719 --> 00:46:31.239
there's an opening shot Of Tom cruise basically free souling
804
00:46:31.280 --> 00:46:34.639
it on the side of a cliff and he like
805
00:46:34.760 --> 00:46:37.119
leaps over a drop and then is hanging from a.
806
00:46:37.199 --> 00:46:41.400
Ledge so that's that was like the opening shot of his,
807
00:46:41.599 --> 00:46:43.440
character you. Know and of course he has to go
808
00:46:43.480 --> 00:46:46.280
on another mission to to.
809
00:46:46.039 --> 00:46:48.880
Bring down this bad guy played By Doggy dog Green.
810
00:46:49.400 --> 00:46:51.639
STOP i think that's how you say his first, name by,
811
00:46:51.639 --> 00:46:56.559
Way doug Greg. Yeah so again kind of a, throwaway
812
00:46:56.599 --> 00:46:59.679
doesn't really factor into anything major in the in the
813
00:46:59.679 --> 00:47:04.079
whole of, things but still worthy a worthy installment in
814
00:47:04.159 --> 00:47:06.599
the eight part installments.
815
00:47:06.000 --> 00:47:08.840
Of This so three is when things really start to.
816
00:47:10.480 --> 00:47:10.679
Take.
817
00:47:10.719 --> 00:47:15.800
Off and uh three is was two thousand and six
818
00:47:16.000 --> 00:47:19.360
and it was directed BY. J. J. Abrams again didn't
819
00:47:19.360 --> 00:47:21.960
shy away from a many great directors on this on this.
820
00:47:22.039 --> 00:47:24.679
Franchise but the main thing about this one is it
821
00:47:24.760 --> 00:47:28.840
introduce Is Michelle monaghan As, julia and we've come to
822
00:47:28.840 --> 00:47:31.239

what he's doing From, julia but you, know still trying
828
00:47:47.800 --> 00:47:50.480
to do both things and it's not really working out that.
829
00:47:50.599 --> 00:47:50.840
Well.
830
00:47:51.199 --> 00:47:54.840

Lawrence, Yeah michelle's been around for a.
835
00:48:04.760 --> 00:48:07.239
While she's. Great, also there's another film she did Called, Kiss,
836
00:48:07.320 --> 00:48:09.239
Kiss Bang bang With.
837
00:48:09.599 --> 00:48:12.679
Robert Downey, Junior The Bad, guy and this one was
838
00:48:12.719 --> 00:48:18.199
probably one of my favorite bad guys of The, yeah just. Amazing,
839
00:48:18.559 --> 00:48:20.840
yeah and you, know he was a really good bad
840
00:48:20.880 --> 00:48:24.119
guy in this, anyway this one actually factors into the
841
00:48:24.159 --> 00:48:28.719
last one as, well because, he like you, said he's
842
00:48:28.760 --> 00:48:31.199
sort of a Net he's sort of a nefarious pat
843
00:48:31.320 --> 00:48:35.599
guy who sells you, know high tech to the best
844
00:48:35.639 --> 00:48:38.719
buy or whatever and even if it's you, know not
845
00:48:38.800 --> 00:48:40.840
a good thing for the. World, basically and one of
846
00:48:40.880 --> 00:48:44.199
the things that is introduced is called The Rabbit's, foot
847
00:48:44.239 --> 00:48:47.199
and we're not entirely sure what that, is but it
848
00:48:47.320 --> 00:48:53.119
is the impetus of the MAIN ai villain.
849
00:48:52.920 --> 00:48:55.239
In the last two, films The. Entity this was the
850
00:48:55.280 --> 00:48:55.880
beginning of.
851
00:48:55.920 --> 00:48:59.760
It this also Introduced Simon pegg to the, series which he,
852
00:49:00.119 --> 00:49:07.760
uh he brings the comic relief As, benji but, also you,
853
00:49:07.800 --> 00:49:09.800
know the more and more went, on he started as
854
00:49:09.840 --> 00:49:11.800
more of a comic relief and the more and more
855
00:49:12.079 --> 00:49:15.000
the films went, on he became very intetol and in
856
00:49:15.119 --> 00:49:18.719
the whole thing and also very you, know part of the.
857
00:49:18.760 --> 00:49:21.199
Family, Basically benji is a.
858
00:49:21.239 --> 00:49:24.920
Facilitator he also has a lot of technical. Smarts he's
859
00:49:24.960 --> 00:49:26.320
definitely an important member of the.
860
00:49:26.559 --> 00:49:30.360
Team, yeah so he's Helped ethan and this one he
861
00:49:30.440 --> 00:49:33.159
kind of Helps, ethan you, know get do.
862
00:49:33.159 --> 00:49:34.760
Some some stuff that he's not supposed to.
863
00:49:34.760 --> 00:49:37.320
Do but the main the main thing was That Michelle
864
00:49:37.360 --> 00:49:41.280
monaghan's Character julia is introduced and it looks like maybe
865
00:49:41.280 --> 00:49:43.480
at the end of it they might have a happy,
866
00:49:43.559 --> 00:49:46.239
life but, yeah we all know that's not gonna.
867
00:49:46.280 --> 00:49:49.400
Happen, also it introduced to other parts.
868
00:49:49.159 --> 00:49:51.760
Of THE i M f, Team MAGGIE q And Jonathan
869
00:49:51.800 --> 00:49:55.000
Reeves myers who were part of the team in this,
870
00:49:55.079 --> 00:49:57.719
one and they didn't make it to further. Installments never
871
00:49:57.800 --> 00:49:59.559
quite sure why they kind of.
872
00:49:59.559 --> 00:50:00.639
Don't really ever explained.
873
00:50:00.679 --> 00:50:06.639
It but, again, yes and the big stunt in this
874
00:50:06.719 --> 00:50:11.719
one was they call it The Shanghai. Jump tom leaps
875
00:50:11.719 --> 00:50:15.519
from a sky one skyscraper to, another then swings via
876
00:50:15.679 --> 00:50:18.679
fulcrum and slides in a building's roof while shooting villain
877
00:50:19.159 --> 00:50:21.480
villains many parachutes into a.
878
00:50:21.480 --> 00:50:23.800
BUILDING i don't know how much of that was, practical
879
00:50:23.880 --> 00:50:24.360
but it looked.
880
00:50:24.360 --> 00:50:30.079
Gnarly but again, here here's you see the. Progression, here
881
00:50:30.440 --> 00:50:31.239
the stuns get.
882
00:50:31.280 --> 00:50:34.840
More the, best the best ones action sequences are yet to.
883
00:50:34.840 --> 00:50:35.920
Come but, yeah, yeah.
884
00:50:36.320 --> 00:50:39.679
So then we get To Ghost protocol when they quit
885
00:50:39.800 --> 00:50:42.719
numbering the mission impossibles and actually give it a side.
886
00:50:42.800 --> 00:50:45.480
NAME i.
887
00:50:45.519 --> 00:50:48.760
Know Ghost protcol was twenty, eleven directed By Brad, bird
888
00:50:49.360 --> 00:50:51.840
who Of Pixar.
889
00:50:51.960 --> 00:50:56.360
Fame. Fantastic yeah he's he's a great director and he
890
00:50:56.400 --> 00:50:59.599
did a really good. Job this Introduces Jeremy renner to
891
00:50:59.719 --> 00:51:02.760
the series As, brandt who's kind of a new member
892
00:51:02.800 --> 00:51:07.559
of THE I M f and Also Paula. Patton she's
893
00:51:07.599 --> 00:51:11.159
she plays the, latest the newest kind of you, know
894
00:51:11.320 --> 00:51:12.519
kick ass female in the.
895
00:51:12.519 --> 00:51:15.840
Group she she too doesn't end up making the rest of.
896
00:51:15.880 --> 00:51:16.360
It so.
897
00:51:18.199 --> 00:51:21.280
But in this, one there's a great opening sequence where
898
00:51:21.280 --> 00:51:24.719
they're in The kremlin and And benji's helped set up
899
00:51:24.719 --> 00:51:27.280
this sort of you know mask this like.
900
00:51:28.920 --> 00:51:34.360
Yeah it's like they are a virtual uh uh image
901
00:51:34.800 --> 00:51:37.760
that they bamboozle everybody with.
902
00:51:38.280 --> 00:51:40.920
Yeah and then ends up getting out of.
903
00:51:40.920 --> 00:51:43.039
There there's a Bad russian guy who's the main bad
904
00:51:43.079 --> 00:51:45.000
guy in, this and he wants to get the.
905
00:51:45.039 --> 00:51:48.000
Launch codes for all the nuclear bombs all of this
906
00:51:48.159 --> 00:51:51.760
so he can Start War war. Three but The kremlin
907
00:51:51.920 --> 00:51:53.159
is bombed so.
908
00:51:54.639 --> 00:51:55.280
Again once.
909
00:51:55.320 --> 00:51:58.800
Again and always in These ethans is somehow Or ethan
910
00:51:58.880 --> 00:52:02.559
and the imp or some how blamed for some, horrible you,
911
00:52:02.599 --> 00:52:06.719
know catastrophe of one or, another and so he's blamed for,
912
00:52:06.800 --> 00:52:08.840
this so he's got to clear his name and all of.
913
00:52:08.880 --> 00:52:15.039
That by the, way frequently the the IMF's bosses or
914
00:52:15.199 --> 00:52:18.199
the government portions of the governments that are employing THE
915
00:52:18.199 --> 00:52:22.840
imf themselves are. Dirty, yes turn on the ims and betray,
916
00:52:22.960 --> 00:52:26.239
them make them, scapegoats and we'll try and kill. Them
917
00:52:26.320 --> 00:52:28.239
so it's not not the best job in the.
918
00:52:28.280 --> 00:52:32.320
World and that's evident in the very first movie when
919
00:52:32.679 --> 00:52:36.280
the WHOLE imf team is compromised and killed, basically and
920
00:52:36.400 --> 00:52:39.239
they all Blame ethan for, it and it turns out
921
00:52:39.360 --> 00:52:43.000
That Jim, phelps who played By John, voyd was actually
922
00:52:43.079 --> 00:52:43.639
the real bad.
923
00:52:43.679 --> 00:52:45.480
Guy so, yeah.
924
00:52:46.440 --> 00:52:50.079
Slightly safer to work At Creation entertainment than working on
925
00:52:50.159 --> 00:52:52.679
THE ims team anywhere.
926
00:52:53.360 --> 00:52:57.480
Anyway so this one really took the stunt thing to
927
00:52:57.599 --> 00:52:58.199
a whole new.
928
00:52:58.280 --> 00:53:04.840
Levels so they're In, dubai it's the mission and he
929
00:53:05.079 --> 00:53:06.639
is scaling the.
930
00:53:06.559 --> 00:53:09.960
Exterior of this building and it is just like plus
931
00:53:10.000 --> 00:53:13.440
then you've got this giant sandstorm that's coming at them
932
00:53:13.599 --> 00:53:15.440
from from you, know a way it's.
933
00:53:15.280 --> 00:53:17.679
Away and he's, like what is? THAT i don't, Worry
934
00:53:17.719 --> 00:53:18.000
we'll be.
935
00:53:18.199 --> 00:53:22.519
Here first of, All Tom cruise had a side gig
936
00:53:22.639 --> 00:53:25.639
as the window cleaner at The, birch so he was
937
00:53:25.679 --> 00:53:28.239
already used to being on the side of the. Building but,
938
00:53:28.800 --> 00:53:33.199
seriously though he's he's a complete, nut it was.
939
00:53:33.320 --> 00:53:34.519
Practic it was.
940
00:53:34.559 --> 00:53:37.039
Practical who's going to come out on the side of
941
00:53:37.039 --> 00:53:40.199
the building two thousand feet up and, dangle you, know
942
00:53:40.280 --> 00:53:46.320
with suction? Cups come, ON i watched, that you.
943
00:53:46.400 --> 00:53:50.199
Know it's it's, terrifying, terrifying.
944
00:53:50.639 --> 00:53:54.360
TERRIFYING i want to tell this funny, story Though Matt
945
00:53:54.440 --> 00:53:56.880
damon tell it's not my, story It's Matt damon's, story
946
00:53:56.880 --> 00:53:59.440
but it's very funny the way he tells. It, yeah
947
00:53:59.639 --> 00:54:02.400
so he's, SAYS i think it was for this film,
948
00:54:02.440 --> 00:54:06.119
that you, know how they went out for dinner somehow
949
00:54:06.119 --> 00:54:07.960
they were at some of them they.
950
00:54:07.920 --> 00:54:09.719
Ended up having the meal together something and.
951
00:54:10.360 --> 00:54:12.800
Not this is so. TOUGH i, mean, honestly.
952
00:54:14.440 --> 00:54:14.519
What?
953
00:54:14.719 --> 00:54:16.760
Happens how does? This how does this? Work how do
954
00:54:16.800 --> 00:54:19.440
you make these things? Happen he, Goes, OH i thought
955
00:54:19.480 --> 00:54:22.960
about that cent for. YEARS i wanted to do something like,
956
00:54:23.000 --> 00:54:23.880
that and SO.
957
00:54:23.840 --> 00:54:27.039
I met it all out AND, i, uh AND i
958
00:54:27.079 --> 00:54:29.039
got it, all you, know set, up AND i went
959
00:54:29.079 --> 00:54:31.719
to the safety guy and the safety guy was, like you,
960
00:54:31.760 --> 00:54:33.320
know because he's doing he's Doing Tom.
961
00:54:33.360 --> 00:54:36.760
Cruise safety guy, like, no you, know we can't do.
962
00:54:36.800 --> 00:54:37.519
That we can't do.
963
00:54:37.559 --> 00:54:40.000
That that's not gonna work because and he positive and,
964
00:54:40.079 --> 00:54:41.360
Goes SO i got.
965
00:54:41.159 --> 00:54:42.320
A new safety, Guy.
966
00:54:42.639 --> 00:54:48.840
And, ULTIMATELY i can't think the insurance companies that have
967
00:54:48.920 --> 00:54:51.239
to Ensure Tom cruise must be pulling the hair out
968
00:54:51.239 --> 00:54:54.079
of their. Head but the funniest thing about that scene,
969
00:54:54.119 --> 00:54:58.360
is you, know suction cups really and then sometimes they,
970
00:54:58.440 --> 00:54:59.800
work sometimes they.
971
00:55:00.079 --> 00:55:03.119
Don't it's Ben it's A benji, invention, right.
972
00:55:02.960 --> 00:55:07.079
Better technology than. That please, Anyway, okay.
973
00:55:07.000 --> 00:55:09.800
Look here's here's one of the best things about this,
974
00:55:09.920 --> 00:55:14.519
impossible at least for, me is, yes it is impossible
975
00:55:14.599 --> 00:55:16.320
to watch sometimes without.
976
00:55:16.360 --> 00:55:20.039
Thinking but for this particular series it doesn't.
977
00:55:20.039 --> 00:55:22.599
Happen for all of, them you, know Like fast and
978
00:55:22.599 --> 00:55:24.800
The furious lost me as well a long time. Ago
979
00:55:24.840 --> 00:55:28.239
but but this, one It's, OKAY i can suspend my
980
00:55:28.280 --> 00:55:33.159
disbelief because because Of Tom cruise honestly well and because
981
00:55:33.320 --> 00:55:35.039
so dedicated.
982
00:55:34.840 --> 00:55:39.280
These these action scenes are most of them are pretty
983
00:55:39.280 --> 00:55:43.360
so much. Practical, so LIKE i, say he's a lunatic
984
00:55:43.400 --> 00:55:46.320
that will do these stunts, himself you got to give.
985
00:55:46.360 --> 00:55:48.280
HIM i call him a, lunatic but what he really
986
00:55:48.360 --> 00:55:52.800
is is a master, craftsman a guy you, know with
987
00:55:53.159 --> 00:55:56.880
nerves of, steel and there's never been an action hero
988
00:55:57.119 --> 00:56:00.599
like him that takes the risks That tom, does gives
989
00:56:00.639 --> 00:56:04.039
the payoff that he. DOES i, mean huge props to
990
00:56:04.159 --> 00:56:08.760
him for thrilling us the way that he. Does, Anyway please, Continue.
991
00:56:08.599 --> 00:56:10.880
Well he's he's that's what he wants to. DO i,
992
00:56:10.880 --> 00:56:13.559
mean he's he's all about cinnamon and the.
993
00:56:13.679 --> 00:56:17.960
Experience so so then so then we get into the
994
00:56:18.119 --> 00:56:19.519
WHAT i call the McQuary.
995
00:56:20.039 --> 00:56:22.320
Era christopher, McCrory.
996
00:56:22.639 --> 00:56:26.840
Who actually wanted, yeah he actually won an oscar for
997
00:56:26.880 --> 00:56:31.400
writing the Usual, suspects you, know was actually mirroring His
998
00:56:32.039 --> 00:56:34.159
he was said he was almost about ready to quit the.
999
00:56:34.199 --> 00:56:37.639
Biz he hadn't really gotten, anything you know of any
1000
00:56:37.679 --> 00:56:40.559
note going. On and THEN i, Guess i'm not sure
1001
00:56:40.599 --> 00:56:44.440
how he And tom, met but somehow they ended up working,
1002
00:56:44.480 --> 00:56:49.880
together And tom sell the potential of a great collaboration
1003
00:56:50.079 --> 00:56:53.199

Queen she's done just a number of, things but she
1026
00:58:19.000 --> 00:58:22.880

was there's an opera scene where she's supposed to assassinate
1030
00:58:34.039 --> 00:58:36.079

1058
01:00:04.000 --> 01:00:07.519
That but, anyway the big stunt on this one again
1059
01:00:07.639 --> 01:00:11.880
happens towards the beginning of the. Movie Tom cruise is
1060
01:00:12.000 --> 01:00:16.559
hanging onto a plane Like i'm being like an arrow
1061

he did film you, know he's out of his.
1068
01:00:36.719 --> 01:00:40.960
Mind and then and then there's So Sean, harris LIKE i,
1069
01:00:40.960 --> 01:00:42.760
said he's the main back. Guy but then there's this
1070
01:00:42.880 --> 01:00:45.920
other sequence where he has to go down into this
1071
01:00:46.159 --> 01:00:48.400
like water propelled.
1072
01:00:49.840 --> 01:00:52.519
Generator, yeah down, underwater.
1073
01:00:53.039 --> 01:00:57.000
Underwater they got to stop it from turning around before
1074
01:00:57.000 --> 01:00:59.000
he can or he'll get, crushed and they stop it
1075
01:00:59.039 --> 01:01:01.920
for you, know however many minutes he has and he's
1076
01:01:01.920 --> 01:01:03.880
got to get to AND.
1077
01:01:03.840 --> 01:01:05.719
I, guess you, know they get this in some kind
1078
01:01:05.760 --> 01:01:08.679
of a big water. Tank AND i, MEAN i don't
1079
01:01:08.679 --> 01:01:10.960
know how long the guy was underwater for or you,
1080
01:01:11.000 --> 01:01:12.920
KNOW i CAN'T i don't know how these people hold
1081
01:01:12.960 --> 01:01:15.199
their breath for minutes and a time like an. AVATAR
1082
01:01:15.320 --> 01:01:19.239
i mean you, yeah someways said That Sigourney weaver held
1083
01:01:19.239 --> 01:01:21.920
her breath for nine. Minutes i'm, saying what kind of
1084
01:01:21.920 --> 01:01:22.639
a person does?
1085
01:01:22.679 --> 01:01:25.639
THAT i, mean you, know WELL i did Hear Ed
1086
01:01:25.760 --> 01:01:28.320
harris had a big problem With James.
1087
01:01:28.159 --> 01:01:31.320
Cameron when they made The. Abyss he got pretty pissed
1088
01:01:31.360 --> 01:01:33.400
off At James cameron with some of the stuff that
1089
01:01:33.440 --> 01:01:36.519
he was making him. Doing that's actually.
1090
01:01:36.159 --> 01:01:41.000
An awful scene where it was a Very Mary Elizabeth. Mastriano,
1091
01:01:41.079 --> 01:01:43.840
yeah that's a horrible scene where she. DROWNS i, mean
1092
01:01:43.880 --> 01:01:46.480
it's just like nobody wants to watch this person drown
1093
01:01:46.559 --> 01:01:47.159
in front of their.
1094
01:01:47.199 --> 01:01:50.679
Eyes but, well you keep that in your head WHEN
1095
01:01:50.719 --> 01:01:53.480
i get to the last, movie just keep that in your,
1096
01:01:53.519 --> 01:01:54.199
head all.
1097
01:01:54.280 --> 01:01:56.159
Right so so.
1098
01:01:56.159 --> 01:02:00.480
Anyway so those those are the two big sequences in This.
1099
01:02:00.440 --> 01:02:06.199
But, honestly for an overall kind of, storyline and you,
1100
01:02:06.199 --> 01:02:10.000
know the bad guy is it's not too out of
1101
01:02:10.039 --> 01:02:12.800
the realm of what he wants to, do you, know create,
1102
01:02:12.880 --> 01:02:14.960
chaos you, know wants to just.
1103
01:02:14.920 --> 01:02:15.880
Reak chaos and.
1104
01:02:15.880 --> 01:02:19.320
Whatnot and but Then Rebecca ferguson's coming, in it was
1105
01:02:19.360 --> 01:02:20.920
just was just icing on the cake for.
1106
01:02:21.039 --> 01:02:24.159
ME i just thought she was. Fantastic so a.
1107
01:02:25.960 --> 01:02:29.880
Defusing of a nuclear device towards the end of this
1108
01:02:30.000 --> 01:02:30.840
up that Was.
1109
01:02:30.880 --> 01:02:31.960
Fallout That's.
1110
01:02:32.079 --> 01:02:34.440
Fallout, yeah, okay.
1111
01:02:33.960 --> 01:02:38.079
This one was just trying to sapper Him lane basically
1112
01:02:38.119 --> 01:02:41.440
and get him because he was you, know he was
1113
01:02:41.480 --> 01:02:45.039
setting up basically what ended up Being, FALLOUT i guess
1114
01:02:45.320 --> 01:02:50.880
In So fallout was twenty eighteen and again directed by,
1115
01:02:50.960 --> 01:02:55.800
McCrory and we've Got henry cavill As August, walker who
1116
01:02:56.000 --> 01:02:57.519
at first we think is a good, guy but it
1117
01:02:57.559 --> 01:03:03.599
turns out to be not a good guys you. Stagent, Yeah,
1118
01:03:04.039 --> 01:03:04.679
yeah it was a great.
1119
01:03:04.760 --> 01:03:07.239
Roll it was a great. Role and then also.
1120
01:03:07.639 --> 01:03:09.760
We did some great action work.
1121
01:03:09.800 --> 01:03:13.280
Together, yeah there's a great scene that a fight sequence
1122
01:03:13.280 --> 01:03:15.880
that happens in a bathroom in like A french.
1123
01:03:15.960 --> 01:03:20.480
Club, oh that's fantastic close quarter really, yeah we're really. Great.
1124
01:03:20.880 --> 01:03:24.960
Yeah so you, know along with all these incredible stunts
1125
01:03:24.960 --> 01:03:27.880
That tom, does he always has some sort of hand
1126
01:03:27.960 --> 01:03:31.000
to hand combat situation to a fight sequence of some,
1127
01:03:31.159 --> 01:03:33.480
kind and he's just he's pulling at those as, well
1128
01:03:33.599 --> 01:03:36.920
not quite Like John, wick which you know especialized that
1129
01:03:37.000 --> 01:03:38.119
kind Of.
1130
01:03:37.719 --> 01:03:40.360
And by the, way we're going to do a breakdown
1131
01:03:40.440 --> 01:03:42.920
on The John wick movies and a few Do It,
1132
01:03:43.039 --> 01:03:47.199
squad so folks watch about. That but we haven't mentioned
1133
01:03:47.320 --> 01:03:51.159
another Great Tom tom cruise thing that he does in
1134
01:03:51.199 --> 01:03:54.800
all of his movies is he has a running super,
1135
01:03:54.880 --> 01:04:00.800
fast you, know super fast to get Some he's got
1136
01:04:00.840 --> 01:04:01.559
to do that in every.
1137
01:04:01.639 --> 01:04:06.280
Movie, Well fallout's particularly good because he's running on the
1138
01:04:06.280 --> 01:04:09.199
top of a building And benjie's trying to tell him
1139
01:04:09.199 --> 01:04:10.719

01:04:11.960 --> 01:04:14.679
The building and he's trying he's trying to chase Down
1142
01:04:14.719 --> 01:04:16.480
Henry cavell and he's.
1143
01:04:16.320 --> 01:04:18.360
Like we're running on the top of the.
1144
01:04:18.360 --> 01:04:21.079
Building that also happens a dead reckoning. Too he does
1145
01:04:21.079 --> 01:04:22.960
the same kind of, thing running on top of the. Building,
1146
01:04:23.119 --> 01:04:26.320
yeah there's always a running sequence For. Toms, yeah that
1147
01:04:26.360 --> 01:04:29.800
guy is he's a. Monster he's a. Beast but, anyway
1148
01:04:29.920 --> 01:04:32.559
the other two characters THAT i love that got introduced
1149
01:04:32.639 --> 01:04:35.440
In fallout Was Vanessa kirby as The White.
1150
01:04:35.480 --> 01:04:39.599
Widow it turns out to Be Vanessa redgrave from the
1151
01:04:39.679 --> 01:04:41.079
very first. Movie her name Was.
1152
01:04:41.119 --> 01:04:43.719
Max she was sort of a dealer as, well like
1153
01:04:44.320 --> 01:04:47.920
buying and selling of. Things in The Various, things And
1154
01:04:48.360 --> 01:04:51.079
Vanessa kirby's character is her, daughter so that's kind of
1155
01:04:51.119 --> 01:04:53.960
a COOL i just love enough Of, KIRBY i mean
1156
01:04:54.079 --> 01:04:57.599
from The. Crown she Played Princess margaret From The Young Young. Christs,
1157
01:04:57.679 --> 01:05:00.920
margaret she's just another, Actress like her face is just
1158
01:05:00.960 --> 01:05:02.639
so incredibly watchable.
1159
01:05:03.599 --> 01:05:04.920
Forward to seeing her And fantastic.
1160
01:05:04.960 --> 01:05:09.400
Four, yes that's, right and Then Angela bassis also her.
1161
01:05:09.480 --> 01:05:13.360
Characters also Introduced Erica, sloan who's like THE nfcia or
1162
01:05:13.400 --> 01:05:15.559
something like that at this, point but she factors in
1163
01:05:15.719 --> 01:05:19.840
later here in the last. Movie so so basically at
1164
01:05:19.840 --> 01:05:23.719
this Point lane has been. Apprehended he is apprehended at
1165
01:05:23.760 --> 01:05:28.159
the end of at the end Of World, nation and
1166
01:05:28.360 --> 01:05:32.719
but his kind of flunkies or his terrorists are still
1167
01:05:32.800 --> 01:05:37.519
planning uh this this nuclear you, know basically to destroy
1168
01:05:37.639 --> 01:05:40.480
half the planet or whatever kind of. Thing so he's
1169
01:05:40.519 --> 01:05:45.159
kind of still maneuvering things in the background even though he's, technically,
1170
01:05:45.360 --> 01:05:46.320
uh you, know been.
1171
01:05:46.320 --> 01:05:47.440
Captured so.
1172
01:05:49.440 --> 01:05:51.719
The the other great thing about this one, is, uh
1173
01:05:52.599 --> 01:05:55.039
they Bring Michelle monaghan's.
1174
01:05:54.519 --> 01:05:55.159
Character, Back.
1175
01:05:56.119 --> 01:05:59.599
Julia she they end up going to this, camp, uh
1176
01:05:59.760 --> 01:06:04.360
this sort of like a medical facility out in the
1177
01:06:04.360 --> 01:06:06.679
out in the we're, THERE i forgot.
1178
01:06:06.400 --> 01:06:09.159
Where that last desert in the desert.
1179
01:06:09.239 --> 01:06:12.239
Somewhere, no it's the, mountains Like nepal or something like
1180
01:06:12.280 --> 01:06:17.280
that or. Something, yes, yes but with mountains and. Everything so,
1181
01:06:17.719 --> 01:06:21.679
anyway she's, there she's, been she's, remarried and you, know
1182
01:06:21.760 --> 01:06:25.000
he gets to. Her her storyline basically gets to be wrapped,
1183
01:06:25.079 --> 01:06:27.679
up and you, know they kind of make reference and
1184
01:06:27.719 --> 01:06:31.840
ghost protocol With Jeremy rounder's character who he says he.
1185
01:06:31.880 --> 01:06:35.480
Was he was back in the, day was supposed to
1186
01:06:35.519 --> 01:06:38.239
protect this couple In prague and it turned out to
1187
01:06:38.239 --> 01:06:42.039
Be ethan And, Julia and it seemed Like julia was
1188
01:06:42.159 --> 01:06:46.199
killed in this sort of, situation but she actually. Wasn't
1189
01:06:46.280 --> 01:06:49.400
she just went underground so that she would be protected
1190
01:06:49.400 --> 01:06:52.000
for the rest of her. Life so it's kind of
1191
01:06:52.000 --> 01:06:55.039
sad That ethan couldn't have his his, woman but you
1192
01:06:55.079 --> 01:06:57.360
know he ended up protecting. Anyway AND i, think you,
1193
01:06:57.360 --> 01:07:01.639
Know Braca ferguson And fallout sort of becomes his new new.
1194
01:07:01.840 --> 01:07:05.440
FRIEND i should, say.
1195
01:07:04.679 --> 01:07:08.360
Yeah, well actually know they end up BECOMING i think
1196
01:07:08.400 --> 01:07:10.519
more than friends at some point in, time but we're.
1197
01:07:10.519 --> 01:07:12.119
Not they never really delve into.
1198
01:07:12.119 --> 01:07:15.679
That but it's kind of hintedated that they probably have
1199
01:07:15.760 --> 01:07:22.400
a romantic. Anyway so, again the whole thing kind of
1200
01:07:22.440 --> 01:07:25.360
wraps up at this this place is wherever they are
1201
01:07:25.360 --> 01:07:28.639
in the mountains, area And lane is, there and he's
1202
01:07:28.679 --> 01:07:33.440
got these two nuclear, devices nuclear bombs that they have
1203
01:07:33.480 --> 01:07:37.599
to coordinate to to sniff the so like then rains
1204
01:07:37.599 --> 01:07:40.320
As luther's on with With julia's on, one and then
1205
01:07:40.360 --> 01:07:43.639
we've Got benji And ilsa trying to Get lane and
1206
01:07:43.679 --> 01:07:43.960
the other.
1207
01:07:44.000 --> 01:07:46.119
One and it has to be just.
1208
01:07:46.360 --> 01:07:48.039
Right but the first thing you have to do is
1209
01:07:48.079 --> 01:07:52.480
get the, detonator which Is Henry calvill's. Part he's got
1210
01:07:52.480 --> 01:07:54.679
it on and he's taken off on a, Helicopter so
1211
01:07:57.800 --> 01:08:00.320
find me his way onto a helicopter from.
1212
01:08:01.920 --> 01:08:04.320
Scene, yes and the whole.
1213
01:08:04.199 --> 01:08:09.119
Chase sequence with this helicopter was. UNBELIEVABLE i, mean you,
1214
01:08:09.159 --> 01:08:11.639
know any real human it would have died a thousand times.
1215
01:08:11.679 --> 01:08:14.920
Over but, Practical.
1216
01:08:14.960 --> 01:08:16.720
Yeah so he's able to do.
1217
01:08:16.760 --> 01:08:19.079
It it's it's the same kind of thing where they're
1218
01:08:19.119 --> 01:08:22.760
all they're all in different locations and they have to
1219
01:08:22.800 --> 01:08:25.720
make this thing, work you, know at the right. Moment
1220
01:08:26.279 --> 01:08:28.359
and But ethan has to be the one to get
1221
01:08:28.359 --> 01:08:30.199
whatever it. Is he has to get so that they
1222
01:08:30.199 --> 01:08:32.000
can do what they have to, do and if they,
1223
01:08:32.039 --> 01:08:35.199
don't if he doesn't turn off the, detonator and they
1224
01:08:35.279 --> 01:08:39.960
sniffed these wires and everything goes completely so huh.
1225
01:08:41.239 --> 01:08:42.800
And it reached on the edge of your.
1226
01:08:42.800 --> 01:08:45.760
Seat reminded me a little bit of the ending Of
1227
01:08:45.840 --> 01:08:49.760
goldfinger When, bond uh you, know was trying to diffuse
1228
01:08:49.800 --> 01:08:52.920
the nuclear. Device The goldfinger is left In Fort knox and,
1229
01:08:53.079 --> 01:08:58.399
