MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE 7 - Tom Cruise Talks Performing His Most Dangerous Stunt Yet; New Still Released

Tom Cruise has performed increasingly more dangerous stunts as his career has progressed, with his death-defying feats becoming a staple of the Mission: Impossible franchise. Doing the rounds to promote the upcoming seventh instalment, the actor talked about what might be his most dangerous stunt yet: riding a motorcycle off the edge of a cliff. 

"If the wind was too strong, it would blow me off the ramp," he revealed, explaining just how dangerous it was even after months of training. "The helicopter [filming the stunt] was a problem, because I didn’t want to be hammering down that ramp at top speed and get hit by a stone."

"Or if I departed in a weird way, we didn’t know what was going to happen with the bike. I had about six seconds once I departed the ramp to pull the chute and I don’t want to get tangled in the bike," he continued. "If I do, that’s not going to end well."

Thankfully, the stunt obviously went well as Cruise was able to talk about it, but we can't wait to see it on the big screen. 

After a series of delays caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, Mission: Impossible 7 is now set to be released in theaters on May 27, 2022. It will then debut on Paramount+ in July 2022. 

A new still from Mission: Impossible 7 has also been released. Check that out below:

Out of all stunts, I wouldn't have guess a motorcycle jump would be that dangerous

@bkmeijer - I was just about to say the same... I get the risks involved, but hanging off a plane, holding your breath under water for over six minutes, free climbing up a canyon, climbing up a rope hanging off a moving helicopter, or even scaling the tallest building in the world seem far more dangerous than this...

But what do I know, I’m currently typing this comment from the safety of my couch.

@Se4M4NSt4ine - my guess is it has to do with timing and multiple parts moving away from each other. But yeah, I'm no expert either

The most dangerous part of this film is Tom cruise. Don't forget that during his time working on collateral, he basically learned how to be a professional hitman.

I'm curious about what the context of the stunt is.
