Various Interesting Facts Mission: Impossible – Dead Calculus Part One
The Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One movie also has some interesting facts that maybe not many people know about. Anything?
Meaning of dead reckoning
Many geeks might think or think that ‘Dead Reckoning’ has something to do with the plot of the movie. However, in fact, the word ‘Dead Reckoning’ has a connection to the deadly threat that Ethan Hunt and his team must face. This word is deliberately taken from the term navigation, where Dead Reckoning means taking a path from the previous position or the last position. This term was later used by Christopher McQuarrie to describe a situation faced not only by Ethan but also by his team.
Longest film in the franchise
In recent years, feature films have become a popular trend in the Hollywood industry. There are several blockbuster movies that have a long run, such as Avengers: Endgame, John Wick Chapter 4, Avatar: The Way of Water, and most recently Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer. This is what the movie almost does.
According to previously known information, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One will last 180 minutes or approximately three hours. However, the latest news indicates that the duration of this film is two hours and 36 without credits. This length makes Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One the longest running film in the franchise.
most dangerous mission
In the history of the Mission: Impossible franchise, Ethan Hunt has faced many dangers or threats. Starting with the threat of nuclear weapons, global conspiracies, etc. However, the movie Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One has a different mission in which Ethan Hunt has to face the most dangerous mission he has ever undertaken.
In fact, this is also the biggest mission or threat that the IMF team has to face. This is because they have to face new enemies that are mysterious and more terrifying. This is the reason why the movie Mission: Impossible – Dead Count Part One features more dangerous and tense action scenes than previous movies.
Movies with the most expensive budgets
Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One will not only be the longest running film in the franchise, but also the most expensive film. When making blockbuster action movies, it is not surprising that a production house spends large funds for production costs. This is also what the Mission: Impossible franchise does.
It is known that the previous film Mission: Impossible, Fallout, which was released in 2018, requires a production budget of 190 million US dollars. Meanwhile, the Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One movie reportedly spent up to 290 million US dollars. The production process being delayed due to the pandemic was one of the reasons for the inflated production costs, thus making this film the most expensive film in the franchise.
The first film to be split in two
In general, the movie Mission: Impossible is an action movie that ends in a cinematic story. However, McQuarrie showed different things in the movie Dead Reckoning Part One. This movie is known for being the first movie in the Mission: Impossible franchise whose story is split into two movies. McQuarrie himself said that he did this on purpose to repeat the same mistake in the Fallout movie.
What’s also interesting is that this movie was initially predicted to be the last movie for Ethan Hunt and his franchise after a decade. However, apparently yesterday’s report indicated that McQuarrie and Tom Cruise had the next idea to present another movie after the second part. That is, the adventures of Ethan Hunt are not going to stop yet.
Ethan Hunt confronts his old boss
One of the interesting facts that appeared in Dead Reckoning Part One is the appearance of classic characters from the first film. The character is Eugene Kittridge. Kittridge’s character was first introduced in the first film where she is the leader or director of the Impossible Mission Force (IMF) organization. However, Kittridge had made a big mistake.
Kittridge had accused Ethan Hunt of being an enemy spy, which was later disproved. After that, the character never appeared again. Kittridge will reportedly appear again in the movie Dead Reckoning Part One and, according to director Ethan Hunt, will face off against his former leader, who is now an enemy.
protest of a country
Another interesting fact about Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One is that during its production process, this movie received protests from the residents of a country. In one of the scenes in the film, there was a plan to destroy a bridge in Poland, namely the Pilchowicki Bridge. The news of this intention was known by all the residents, which finally provoked protests everywhere.
Polish residents feel that the Pilchowski Bridge is a historical bridge. This is what later caused the public to protest when the film nearly destroyed the old bridge. However, what is interesting is that the government, through the Polish deputy minister of culture, said that the bridge was an old and dilapidated structure. Also, there is no historical value or other things of the bridge.
500 hour training
In the Mission: Impossible franchise, it’s not uncommon for Tom Cruise to do many of his own stunts without the help of a stuntman. He’s even done this since the first movie. That is why Tom Cruise has to practice a lot and even take courses, like flying a plane, diving, etc.
In the movie Dead Reckoning Part One, there is a scene where Tom Cruise rides a motorcycle off a cliff. And at the end, he is shown how he jumps off the bike and lands on a parachute. Before carrying out the action, the actor had done 500 hours of skydiving practice. And he took seven shots (takes) before the scene was absolutely perfect.
Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One is set to hit theaters featuring another Ethan Hunt adventure. Based on the synopsis and the events of Dead Reckoning Part One, Ethan will be ready to face the greatest threat to his life as a spy. What then is Ethan Hunt’s next destination? Will he survive the mission this time? Let’s look forward to it on July 12, geeks!
