Tom Cruise is more crazy than we knew

Post by Micael »

He’s done various crazy stunts in the past such as clinging onto the outside of aircraft. I think he may have outdone himself for the new MI movie though, jumped out from a helicopter with his parachute on fire 16 times:

I may have to go see the movie just for this.

Yes he is crazy. He puts his crazy on screen instead of driving us crazy with his hot takes on politics.

That’s pretty crazy!!

Was that 16 times or 16 seconds?

Where did he have his backup chute hidden?

16 times/takes. I think, from the footage, that his backup chute was in the normal ”backpack” location and the burning one was never packed inside it, instead just being tossed out alongside Tom from the chopper.

Was a bit disappointed with the film really.....and the parachute scene did raise a very important question considering what the human bad guy said about parachutes during the scene.
