The Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One marketing continues to juice the film’s stunt-heavy sequences – and with good reason: they’re freakin’ spectacular.
The latest behind-the-scenes featurette to arrive for the Tom Cruise starrer offers up a look at how they pulled off the film’s incredible train sequence. They built a train (complete with interiors that had to be usable), had Cruise and villain star Esai Morales fight on top of the train, then… they drove the train right off a bridge.
“No one else is in the world is doing this level of practical filmmaking,” says director and co-writer Christopher McQuarrie, “And it may never be done again.”
