Corrected entry: The tape recorder playing the "Do you accept this mission..." does not have its wheels rotating.
Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning (2023)
1 corrected entry
Directed by: Christopher McQuarrie
Starring: Tom Cruise, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Rebecca Ferguson, Hayley Atwell
Factual error: Ethan decouples a moving train, moving the chain link by hand. Impossible as there would be massive tension on it.
Ethan Hunt: We live and die in the shadows, for those we hold close, and for those we never meet.
Trivia: The actor playing new IMF agent "India Zulu 254" is Alex James-Phelps - possibly a deliberate casting choice given a main character in the series and original film is called Jim Phelps.
Question: Why did Daniel and Ethan fight on the train hand-to-hand, instead of using guns? (02:16:00 - 02:20:00)
Answer: Maybe they didn't have any guns at that point.
Answer: In an enclosed place, a bullet can ricochet around until it hits something - one of them or an innocent person: man, woman, or child. Worse, it could hit a section of the train, a brake line, a cable connecting the cars, or one of the conductors.
Correction: I thought so too, but if you look very closely, they actually are turning.
