Fun fact: Despite all the stuff that hapoens in the series after this, the exploding aquarium is considered the most dangerous stunt in the franchise by the stunt crew.

This is one of the very few film sagas were you see someone go from a young but talented spy, to a goddamn living legend whose achievements could sound like myths to rookies.

Tara's complete inability to retain information that was given like 5 seconds prior makes for the most INSANE guesses as to what's happening. Please never change it's so much fun 😂

Fun fact: The movie series is meant to be a sequel to the original TV show. Jon Voight's character was in the original. The original actor declined to come back because he didn't think his character would do what he did in this movie.

Tom Cruise was on the Graham Norton show (the clip is on YouTube) discussing the water aquarium stunt scene and its hilarious because no one can figure out when he was supposed to run and when they were going to blow the tank. It’s absolutely funny listening to the story.

This is one of the best franchises to ever exist. The best part is easily the death defying stunts Tom Cruise does

If I remember correctly Tom learned up close magic techniques to do the disc tricks and he brings it back in one of the later movies [kind of an homage to this scene]
