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: Final budget was $291m, in large part due to the delays caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, making it one of the most expensive films of all time. Filming was scheduled to start in February 2020 with a planned release date of July 23, 2021. Filming eventually started on September 6, 2020 and wrapped in September 2021 - the film was released in July 2023.
Question: When Ethan and Grace are "racing" with the Fiat 500, the sound of the engine does not sound right. To me, it should be rougher. To me, the sound was more of an electric car, especially during gaining speed. Or, did I miss something?
Answer: While it looks like a normal Fiat 500, this is a specialised IMF car, as evidenced by the controls inside and its ludicrously high speed. It being electric is in line with that.
