We’re lucky to live in an age where Tom Cruise is a movie actor, because there won’t be any more of them: the Hollywood star who is known for his insane stuntman abilities and usually insists on doing most of the stunts in the action movies starring himself, took another step toward eternity in a new YouTube video documenting the “stunt The greatest in the history of cinema”, a scene on which they have been working in the production of “Mission: Impossible: Revenge of Death” for more than three years.
In the aforementioned short documentary, about nine and a half minutes long, the preparatory work for the stunt is documented, which included no less than 500 freefalls by Tom Cruise from airplanes and another 13,000 ramp jumps with a motocross motorcycle, all for a segment in the next film in the impossible blockbuster series where Cruise with a motorcycle jumps off a cliff beneath which there is an enormous and completely real chasm, and to go from the jumping motorcycle to a free-base parachute (parachute without an airplane) towards the ground. Officials in the production of the film made it clear that despite all the safety measures taken, this is a stunt in which any small mistake is a clear risk of death, And it seems that the real audacity was discovered by the insurance company that agreed to put a policy on this Hollywood troll.

>> In your face: 25 years of the best action movie in the world
Yesterday Cruise sent a special greeting to the viewers of “Top Gun: Maverick” straight from the set of “Mission Impossible”, in which he thanks them for watching the movie while skydiving, managing to maintain a completely normal tone of voice compared to someone who is parachuting at hundreds of kilometers per hour to the ground (and an amazing sound work in cleaning up the wind noise). The film “Mission: Impossible: Revenge of the Dead” was split into two parts, and the first of them will arrive in theaters in the middle of this July, with Cruise reprising his role as Agent Ethan Hunt for the seventh time, with his friends Cast regulars Ving Rhimes, Simon Pegg, Vanessa Kirby and Rebecca Ferguson.The previous six films in the series grossed around $3.5 billion and there’s a chance we’ll see Cruise jumping out of planes deep into the decade.
