‘Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One’ has been on the headlines for a long time after it went through several delays. Audiences have waited for five years to witness Tom Cruise’s sequel and it is finally hitting the theatres next month.
Meanwhile, the franchise has gained recognition for the stunts performed by Tom Cruise over the years. It must be noted that possibly no one has attempted such stunts in any other action films.
Tom Cruise’s Famous Bike Stunt In ‘Mission: Impossible 7’
Tom Cruise has been in the headlines following the reports of the dangerous stunts he will be performing in the upcoming installment of ‘Mission: Impossible.’ But the one moment that went viral on the internet was the bike stunt which was referred to as the riskiest ever.
The stunt featured Cruise riding a motorcycle off the edge of a cliff and then parachuting to safety in free fall. Director Christopher McQuarrie has now revealed that the sequence was shot on the first day of the shoot, according to Empire Magazine.
McQuarrie further stated: “If we sat around and tried to figure out these movies the old-fashioned way, you’d never find it, simply because it’s such a living, breathing thing.”

Tom Cruise’s Bike Stunt Involved A Lot of Risk
The bike stunt was an important sequence for ‘Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One.’ Ever since the scene was featured in the teaser, audiences have been praising Cruise for the risk that he has taken.
The reason for filming the scene on the first day of the shoot was because around $200 million was being spent for the film’s production phase and the producers would have suffered losses if Cruise was injured or died following the stunt.
Cruise stated that the stunt was an important factor to decide if they would continue with the filming. There was an option to rewrite but he trained himself and was ready to perform the sequence.
