So let me get this straight ...


Don't get me wrong, because I enjoyed the movie, but how can Tom Cruise walk away from a car that flips at least half a dozen time without any injuries, then roll off a motorcycle and walk away without any injuries, then later jump out of window with a bad guy and THEN start limping?

Because... reasons.

When you're an Operating Thetan you can do lots of things other people can't understand.

Because the adrenaline can only keep you running so long?

You're kidding me right? Please tell me you asked something like this on GPs boards or even MI3, MI2, and the first's boards? If not, why bother asking? He's Ethan *beep* Hunt.

Well said, Scott - these were two of many occasions when I said to myself "Why? Becase It's All a Load of B○ll○cks, that's why! <rolls eyes skywards>." I gave up watching this bilge c. 3/4 of the way through, because it's dull, repetitive, unbelievability wore me down.

Best guess: Tom Cruise's toxic and obnoxious summation of American exceptionalism + Scientology arrogance + closeted gay overcompensation = Indestructible Yanqui Hero contractual obligation - and nobody ever got fired for insulting a multiplex audience's intelligence.

Because he's ETHAN HUNT.

Reminded me of the outlandish sequences in Fast and Furious 7 where the characters went through some intense accidents with barely a scratch. Silly
