In the sequence, Ethan Hunt, who would become one of Cruise\u2019s most well-known characters, intentionally blows up a giant aquarium that stretches the length from the floor to the ceiling to help get away quickly. The explosive was so powerful that another person was sent flying through a glass panel, while Cruise went running with 16 gallons of water following right behind him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"pmc-fallback-list-item-wrap lrv-u-margin-b-2\">\n<article class=\"pmc-fallback-list-item\">\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%E2%80%98Mission_Impossible_II_Rock_Climbing_Scene\"><\/span>\u2018Mission: Impossible II\u2019 (Rock Climbing Scene)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure>\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1296\" height=\"730\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/wp-content\/themes\/vip\/pmc-hollywoodreporter-2021\/assets\/public\/lazyload-fallback.gif\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"'Mission- Impossible II'\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Mission-Impossible-II-tom-cruise-everett-H-2023.jpg?w=1296\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Mission-Impossible-II-tom-cruise-everett-H-2023.jpg 1296w, https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Mission-Impossible-II-tom-cruise-everett-H-2023.jpg?resize=125,70 125w, https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Mission-Impossible-II-tom-cruise-everett-H-2023.jpg?resize=200,113 200w, https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Mission-Impossible-II-tom-cruise-everett-H-2023.jpg?resize=295,166 295w, https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Mission-Impossible-II-tom-cruise-everett-H-2023.jpg?resize=435,245 435w, https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Mission-Impossible-II-tom-cruise-everett-H-2023.jpg?resize=1000,563 1000w, https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Mission-Impossible-II-tom-cruise-everett-H-2023.jpg?resize=681,383 681w, https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Mission-Impossible-II-tom-cruise-everett-H-2023.jpg?resize=450,253 450w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(min-width: 87.5rem) 1000px, (min-width: 78.75rem) 681px, (min-width: 48rem) 450px, (max-width: 48rem) 250px\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1296\" height=\"730\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Mission-Impossible-II-tom-cruise-everett-H-2023.jpg?w=1296\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"'Mission- Impossible II'\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Mission-Impossible-II-tom-cruise-everett-H-2023.jpg 1296w, https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Mission-Impossible-II-tom-cruise-everett-H-2023.jpg?resize=125,70 125w, https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Mission-Impossible-II-tom-cruise-everett-H-2023.jpg?resize=200,113 200w, https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Mission-Impossible-II-tom-cruise-everett-H-2023.jpg?resize=295,166 295w, https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Mission-Impossible-II-tom-cruise-everett-H-2023.jpg?resize=435,245 435w, https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Mission-Impossible-II-tom-cruise-everett-H-2023.jpg?resize=1000,563 1000w, https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Mission-Impossible-II-tom-cruise-everett-H-2023.jpg?resize=681,383 681w, https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Mission-Impossible-II-tom-cruise-everett-H-2023.jpg?resize=450,253 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 87.5rem) 1000px, (min-width: 78.75rem) 681px, (min-width: 48rem) 450px, (max-width: 48rem) 250px\"\/><figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\tImage Credit: Paramount Pictures\/Everett Collection (2)\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\t<!-- do not apply CSS styles to this element! --><\/p>\n<div class=\"pmc-not-a-paywall\">\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tIn 2000\u2019s <em>Mission: Impossible II<\/em>, Cruise showed no signs of plans to stop testing his limits.

In <em>The Final Reckoning<\/em>, the actor can be seen dangling from an upside-down plane during one of the sequences. A behind-the-scenes clip of the scene also notes how physically demanding the stunt was for Cruise. \u201cYou can\u2019t imagine how physically punishing it was for Tom to be on the wing,\u201d a voice says in the video. \u201cThe wind distorts your vision.
