Mission: Impossible - Fallout
Video

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.

Trivia: The voice heard during the initial mission briefing is that of director Christopher McQuarrie.

Trivia: Henry Caville sports pretty prominent facial hair throughout the film. He was actually contractually forbidden from shaving it off for the sake of continuity. As a result, he had to film reshoots for "Justice League" with a mustache and heavy stubble, and that film was forced to use (unfortunately obvious) CG effects to remove them.

Trivia: Jeremy Renner was meant to reprise his role for the film, after appearing in the previous two movies, but he was unable to due to his commitments to the film "Avengers: Endgame." It has been hinted that his character Brandt might return in a future film, however.

Trivia: The bathroom fight was supposed to be filmed over the course of four days. Due to the complexity of the stunts and issues during filming, it ended up taking almost a full month to complete.

Trivia: The cliff at the end is an actual place, 'Preikestolen', located in Norway.

Mission: Impossible - Fallout mistake picture

Revealing mistake: Fight in the toilet of the Paris nightclub: the presumed Lark rips out the sink's drain and begins assaulting Tom Cruise with it; Walker intervenes holding him, but the nimble Asian does a flip and brutally tosses him to the ground. As Henry Cavill is bent over before being snapped to the floor, on his back, you can definitely see a protective pad through the jacket. (00:31:52)
