Mission: Impossible - Fallout

Plot hole: On the plane they are told they have 2 mins to suit up, then once suited up they have a further 10 seconds before the rear door opens. 2 minutes is not enough time to put the equipment on to do the halo jump.

Plot hole: When Ethan and Walker are waiting for Lane to drive by and knock him into the Seine, Walker realizes that Ethan was the agent who caught Lane. He says, "How long do you think he'll keep that to himself?" He says it as if Lane is going to see the White Widow or her brother, but since he hasn't left Ethan's side the entire time since the plane, wouldn't he know of Ethan's plan to take Lane before the brother could kill him?

Plot hole: Ilsa had no idea where the BMW was going - she was already on the bridge and in position when we see it turn left into the street, it could've easily have gone straight on.

Continuity mistake: During the getaway in the 4-door olive-green BMW, in one shot, the driver's headrest is bent forward; in the next shot, it is shown back in the straight-up position.

Trivia: Tom Cruise broke his ankle doing the building jump in London. He was always intended to almost miss the landing and have to pull himself up, but his foot hit the side of the building and was forcibly bent at a wrong angle. Filming was held up for seven weeks. When he limps away once he has climbed up to the roof, he's not acting - that's the result of his injury.
