Tom Cruise recalls hiding his broken foot in order to film a Mission: Impossible II stunt that the studio spent months trying to cancel. Released in 2000 and directed by John Woo, the follow-up to 1996’s Mission: Impossible features Cruise back as superspy Ethan Hunt, this time fighting terrorists to recover a deadly virus. The sequel features a handful of standout action sequences and stunts, including the movie’s opening, which features Cruise scaling the side of a mountain and making a death-defying leap from one cliff face to another.
During a recent interview with Empire magazine ahead of the release of Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning in May, Cruise looks back at his Mission: Impossible 2 cliff stunt, revealing that he was sporting a broken foot as he did it. According to the star, the stunt faced a number of weather-related setbacks and the studio was keen on scrapping the entire sequence. Cruise, however, pushed forward anyway, and ended up pulling it off despite his injury. Check out Cruise’s recollection of events below:
