MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE 7 Set Video Shows Tom Cruise Riding A Motorcycle Off The Edge Of A Cliff

No, that headline is no exaggeration! In this video from the set of Mission: Impossible 7, star Tom Cruise quite literally drives a motorbike off the edge of a cliff. Here's what happened next...

It's no secret that Tom Cruise performs his own stunts (it must be a nightmare to ensure the man), but this might be his most insane - and dangerous - to date. While he recently braved a London cinema to watch Tenet, the feat he pulled off for the upcoming Mission: Impossible 7 is even more daring.

After director Christopher McQuarrie took to Twitter yesterday to tease an epic looking stunt, footage has now found its way online which is well and truly a sight to behold. 

As you can see in the player below, Cruise drives a motorcycle off a massive ramp before parachuting to the ground. While the actor constantly seems to try to outdo himself from movie to movie, this is undeniably more dangerous than anything we've seen from him before now, and there are probably a million different ways this could have ended up going horribly wrong. 

Cruise is followed by a drone and helicopter, and this is bound to look downright insane in Mission: Impossible 7 (don't be surprised if we catch a glimpse of it whenever the first trailer is released).

Check out the jaw-dropping video below:

Cool,, but damn, if he does not slow down there is no way this guy is dying of natural causes.

Even Jackie Chan had to stop doing hi own stunts

That's not for Mission Impossible, that's just Tom Cruise's Sunday.

I'm more curious as to why a ramp like this would even exist.

@THEDARKKNIGHT1939 - Tom built it over night

I sincerely hope Tom Cruise doesn't meet his end this way.

If Scientology is good for anything, it’s for making Tom Cruise bat guano crazy enough to do stuff like this.

The best action franchise out there. Tom Cruise is a god among men and just is second to none in this craft. What an amazing, awesome daredevil. Can't wait to see how he and McQ try to top the perfect Fallout!

They can just slap the movie title at the end of the video and call that a trailer. Holy shit

With The way Tom Cruise is going, he's going to replace Chuck Norris

He really keeps pushing it, and it's one of the reasons the franchise just keep getting better.

And if he just keeps on outdoing himself without dying, I kinda wanna know what Scientology is feeding the man.

So I watched 'Rock Of Ages' for the first time tonight. Jesus, Tom Cruise can SING

I mean sure, the stunt is awesome. But story-wise, how does that even happen? I suppose it's some sort of chase scene, but to just so happen to be wearing a chute, and for a ramp like that to conveniently be there?

@ChimiFnChangas - This is how they segue into MI:8😉

@ChimiFnChangas - CGI out the ramp to make it look like a part of the landscape.

@GreypilgrimXXX - That would look pretty rubbish. The ramp is what, 200ft long at least, with an up ramp. CGI that out and it'll look like he goes off the cliff straight for 200ft and then up before going down into the canyon.

@ChimiFnChangas - You are not considering camera vantage point. The helicopter was pretty much up and behind him. What would look like rubbish is having a big ramp in the middle of nowhere for no reason other than to set up a stunt piece.
