True confession: sometimes when watching that scene I legit forget that it's not Cruise. Like, I'm thinking about actors, not characters, and I'm believing that it's Cruise in a mask somehow. Hoffman had ridiculous acting skills.
A real suggestion from me is to replicate the Henry Cavill look. The shirt, the slacks, the hair and of course the famous Moustachegate moustage. And to do the fist reload thing.
I love the scene where Ethan forces Owen Davian to recite a poem so that Ethan, with the aid of some high-tech software, can then imitate his voice. Apparently, the poem includes every sound in the English language… “The pleasure of Buzby's company is what I most enjoy. He put a blue tack on Miss Yancy's chair when she called him a horrible boy. At the end of the harvest, he was flinging two kittens across the width of the room. I count on his schemes to reveal the way to escape my gloom.” In theory, by reproducing how Owen says "I" and "gloom," IMF can reproduce how he'd say "I'm." "Flinging," "I" and "company" can reproduce "fine," and so on. Linguist Neal Whitman developed the poem especially for the movie and JJ Abrams was so taken with it that eventually some members of the production team started jokingly referring to it as the “Blue Harvest” poem, which was coincidentally also the working title for the 1977 film Star Wars.
I really loved the first one and hated the second but I was totally back on board after this one and ever since they've just gotten better and better. Can't wait to see Dead Reckoning pt 1
@eating sugar no papa Solomon Lane is too try-hard. Like, you could tell they were really TRYING to give MI a big bad guy on the level of Owen Davian again... but, had he not reappeared in Fallout I don't think anyone would be talking about him any more than they talk about the bad guy from Ghost Protocol. Actually pretty similar to Christoph Waltz' Blofeld in that regard. They got a solid actor doing a solid "I'm a menacing guy in the shadows" routine, and just assumed that would be enough to make him a memorable villain without actually doing any of the legwork to make them interesting.
Literally laughed out loud at James' stunt for this one, and then I watched it 3 more times for more laughs. Great series and fantastic editing as always! Thank you, James, Maso, and Ben.
*as far as MI movies go, I think this is where he delivers noticeably great acting. I didn’t say he is bad in 1 and 2, but I would’ve seen those and went “man this guy has a bright future” judging simply his facial acting.
This movie is THE REASON why the movies made after got so good. JJ corrected the course of the franchise. He showed the way. Every MI movie afterwards is just a variation and improvement on this movie I feel. This is an underrated film. The next MI movies are better. They keep getting better. But this film was like the blueprint for basically what to do.
I really like this movie. There's lots of bits which feel like honest, modern takes on the original series concepts. And I completely agree, Davian is a genuinely fantastic bad guy.
I feel like Collateral, then Batman Begins were the beginnings to these more grounded, down-to-earth, and gritty style action movies. You definitely saw it with the Casino Royale reboot, and all the action movies starting around 04-06.
The early working title for Casino Royale was actually "Bond Begins", an obvious nod to Batman Begins. I think it can even be spotted on some of the slates in the behind-the-scenes production footage.
Well that would make sense because Nolan was a huge fan of Heat, another Michael Mann movie, and it's especially obvious in TDK, of course, but most people attribute the change in Bond to The Bourne Identity [2002] which precedes Collateral [2004] and Batman Begins [2005]. You could also see Batman Begins as being a response to the silliness of previous Batman sequels, so in that sense, it is an accurate analogy as the later Brosnan movies were way over the top. Batman Begins and Casino Royale had about double the budget of Collateral and Bourne. They were both made for around $60m and made just over $200m at the box office. In fact, The Bourne Supremacy came out in 2004 also.
RuyLopezQB6 how in the world did the Bourne movies slip my mind? Wow..I agree with what you said, except while Heat may have influenced the later movies, it didn’t start a trend of grounded, realistic action movies. We still got Face/Off, Con Air, Black Arrow, Matrix, etc. The first two Bourne films definitely changed action cinema and we’re still in that trend today.
at 20:44 is that a shot in the actual movie? because you can clearly see his harness with the string coming from his waist to the top left side of the screen.
Hey I’m in America making tortillas at 3 am, and I get to watch your early access videos. Bloody lovin’ it m8, can I be the official tortilla maker for the podcast? I promise excellent tacos 🌮
I think this might be my favorite, and arguably the best of the first trilogy. I mean, the villain is pretty creepy and just psycho, and the action is pretty good. The only complaint I have is the fact that Ethan Hunt is a teacher, which just seems weird, but it is a minor complaint.
The best scene in all of Mission Impossible to me personally is Seymour Hoffman interrogating Tom Cruise with the gun to the girl's head. No trickery,no lies,no last minute saves,just Tom Cruise helpless against a man who has all the cards in his hands. No other scene in the series is as intense due to the fact that there was no way out,no easy solution,not even a funny joke to help lighten the mood.
MI: III is the best because it's the entry in which Hunt is at his most vulnerable and Hoffman is the most dangerous villain of the series. 6 M:I II 5 M:I GP 4 M:I RN 3 M:I 2 MI: FALLOUT 1 M:I III
I love this film so much, more than most people. That bridge scene is still one of my favourite single scenes in any film ever made. I don't know what it is but I love it so much. Also fight me: Ethan Hunt has the best haircut in this film compared to any of the others (Fallout is number 2)
Well, now that you've mentioned the _Police Academy_ franchise, I want to see you cover that series. All 7 movies, the live-action TV series and the cartoon.
I was gonna say the same thing! I love the editing on these videos. The Joker was like, “I’m OUT wit these comments.” and kicked it out the back door. 😂💀
Baffles me that a few people have mentioned that Captain America: The Winter Soldier felt like a superhero remake of this movie. Not only the plot involving compromised government agency, but even the structural bits of the movies felt alike, down to the action scenes. The one major difference is that MI3 didn't focus on the magic McGuffin that the plot.
I don't know about the structural bits, I think it's just the highway/bridge surprise attack - captured by government agency - escape from agency (in an elevator) sequence. But CA:WS has better character development and does not rely that much on spectacle.
@@CabbageCorgi either Batman v Superman or justice league CoG referring to that one general supposedly being Martian man hunter and “He’s still out there.”
Please cover the remaining MI movies in caravan of garbage 🙏. To put some weight of your chest, I already came up with stunts, that can be replicated by James: Phantom Protocol: Climb your House with toilet plumbers strapped to your hands. Rogue Nation: Book a first class flight to your next holiday destination, but strap yourself to the side of the plane, instead of going inside. Fallout: Idk, nuke Europe or smth.
MI III is still probably my favorite in the series. When I had first seen Tommy boy running in China I was quite impressed. Not that it was super impressive, but homeboy just kept going.
Totally agreed! Philip Seymour Hoffman is amazing in this movie and is by far the best villain in this franchise. And yes, JJ Abrams (or his legal name of: JJ "everyone guessed the ending of Lost two weeks into the first season of the show so I denied it for 6 seasons but couldn't come up with another ending so I went with the one everyone had guessed in season 1 anyway" Abrams) is an "only ok" director.
I freaking love this movie. I’ll never forget watching it for the first time, I was gonna do some menial tasks while watching it cuz I assumed it would be bad like the second M:I film, but the cold open grabbed me from the beginning and I don’t think I blinked for the next two hours. It’s one of my favorite first time viewing experiences of a movie ever. I didn’t grasp how important tension is in a movie until this film made me acutely aware of it. Fantastic film, probably my second favorite of the franchise, right below Fallout.
The car stunt in this was a big trailer moment. Its crazy to think of how big this series and movies in general have gotten. I love how real and gritty this M:I is and its probably my favorite one, still.
I've said it before and I'll say it again - Hudson Hawk! You could release it today and nobody would blink an eye, but it was pretty far out there in, er... 1991, 29 years ago.
I think Tom Cruise felt very betrayed by Philip Seymour Hoffmann for doing The Master. I wonder if he took anything from his interactions with Cruise into that roll?
This was the first Mission: Impossible movie I saw. My dad asked if I wanted to go see it, I really wasn't all that interested quite frankly, but I did it anyway because he's my dad and I think we were getting food afterward or something and that was reason enough. I remember thinking it was okay and maybe a little boring. I think my 11 year old brain was not all that interested in this spy movie business. I totally get why he'd think I'd be interested though, it was an action movie with sci-fi elements instead of a sci-fi movie with action elements, but you know, M:I-III, meh. We did eventualy get around to watching the first two eventually. I do remember when Ghost Protocol was coming out though, and I was most definitely interested because it looked spectacular in trailers, and I was severely disappointed when my dad went to go see it without me. C'mon dad, be a FATHER for once and take me to see the spy action thriller I want! :P We had a blast with Rogue Nation and Fallout though and we rewatched all the movies before Fallout to get the whole story, and I love them.
I know this is an old video and no one will see this bc this video is over a year old at this point. You guys have are too contenders for the most underrated content on TH-cam.
James, Borat came out the same year as this, at least in the states, but several months apart… I can recall seeing MI 3 in a theatre sometime in May, possibly opening night or something, and Borat in like October or November. Now, at 40, I can say I’ve been bloody lucky to never have to utter the words ‘my wiiiifffe’ 😂. #dodgingbulletslikebloodyneo
Lane in Rogue Nation was my favorite villain and I hated that they brought him back in Fallout but Owen Davian is a really close second , he felt so menacing and dangerous in this. RIP Phillip Seymour Hoffman
Something you guys did for Transformers I really enjoyed was saying before you started the series what your "pre re-watch" opinions of how good or bad the movies were, and then how those held up after you rewatched them. You should do it again for the next series!
The most underappreciated one. Too many good things in it to ignore, despite Abrams' very TV style, and not to mention that it actually laid the standards for the sequels.
There was not enough discussion of the "Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall" moment. Best moment of this movie, hands down; my wife and I had to pause the movie for 5 minutes because we were laughing too hard to see what else was going on.
this is the beginning of the good mission impossible movies but the one after this is when it they really just become amazing movies, the next one is better that the last and it just doesn’t stop.!!’

You joke about Alias, but I’m currently re-watching it (first time in years) and I’ve been shocked at how well it holds up. If you want to do JJ Abrams for a future COG it’s a really good indicator of a lot of his directing style (mystery box and all)
"JJ Abrams indicator." To this day, I still find it odd that no one has shown the Alias intro sequence (seasons 1-3) to prove that Abrams likes his lens flares. The Alias intro is literally lens flares dancing against a black screen. In later seasons when they changed the intros, the lens flares are still there. haha
Philip Seymour Hoffman playing Tom Cruise playing Philip Seymour Hoffman in the bathroom scene is absolutely magnificent. What a legend.
Even better than Helena Bonham Carter playing Emma Watson playing Hermione playing Bellatrix Lestrange.
@@thisisfyne what about Sacha Baron Cohen playing Borat playing Sacha Baron Cohen playing a conservative country singer?

James, Borat came out the same year as this, at least in the states, but several months apart… I can recall seeing MI 3 in a theatre sometime in May, possibly opening night or something, and Borat in like October or November.
Now, at 40, I can say I’ve been bloody lucky to never have to utter the words ‘my wiiiifffe’ 😂.

Them: "JJ Abrams can be a good director"
JJ: "I CAN! Why haven't I been doing that this whole time?"
Lane in Rogue Nation was my favorite villain and I hated that they brought him back in Fallout but Owen Davian is a really close second , he felt so menacing and dangerous in this.
RIP Phillip Seymour Hoffman
Can you do the original trilogy of Star Wars then go to the prequels than the sequel trilogy than the spinoffs.
I've seen a bunch of other people comment the same, but I'll join the chorus in celebrating Ben's edit of the Joker saying "six." Bravo.
And the star wars edit too. Good lord.
I remembered this movie because of how sudddenly dramatic and scary it was
I love how your impression of Tom Cruise is basically the Family Guy version of Speed Racer. It's perfect.
Phillip seymour hoffman bring a lot to this movie
One of my favourite MI movies. Potentially 2nd favourite, with Rogue Nation being my favourite
Mission Impossible free Me from all this pain.
I like how Caravan of Garbage has morphed into just reviewing older movies and half the time, they're actually pretty good movies.
still holding out for the tremors series
With editing skills this seamless, it really makes me wonder whether or not there was an edit in the recreation from the first Mission Impossible
I can’t wait for judge Dredd
Rewatched the other night, LOVE the shout out to Lake Wanaka from our wonderful slice of the world New Zealand
This like is for Ben and his don't simp poster.
Something you guys did for Transformers I really enjoyed was saying before you started the series what your "pre re-watch" opinions of how good or bad the movies were, and then how those held up after you rewatched them. You should do it again for the next series!
Tom Cruise's hair looks the best in this movie imo. It's not over stylized but more casual and practical for missions
Love this. Nice tweet at the end too, had to pause and really take it in.
Last time I was this early Ethan hadn’t accepted his mission
Loved the CGP Grey cameo, because I absolutely love that traffic video
The most underappreciated one. Too many good things in it to ignore, despite Abrams' very TV style, and not to mention that it actually laid the standards for the sequels.
There was not enough discussion of the "Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall" moment. Best moment of this movie, hands down; my wife and I had to pause the movie for 5 minutes because we were laughing too hard to see what else was going on.
Do fast and furious next PLEASE!!
IT WOULD BE SO FUN
deffo....two a week i say
this is the beginning of the good mission impossible movies but the one after this is when it they really just become amazing movies, the next one is better that the last and it just doesn’t stop.!!’
You guys should watch the mentalist
It is a pretty good show
And for our next random comment, "Marmalade is a spreadable fruit preserve. It's pretty good."
@@hepchaos sarcasm or are you one of those bots
@@lalithadavi4845 I was going to ask if you thought there were actual Marmalade selling 'bots, then I realized, of course there are. Now I feel bereft that I've never been accosted by a Marmalade selling 'bot while online.
@@hepchaos no I thought you were one of those bots who comment weird random facts
@@lalithadavi4845 - No, I'm not a 'bot that gives random facts, but an interesting note is that the first recorded game that is all about random chance is from Ancient Egypt, call Senet.
You joke about Alias, but I’m currently re-watching it (first time in years) and I’ve been shocked at how well it holds up. If you want to do JJ Abrams for a future COG it’s a really good indicator of a lot of his directing style (mystery box and all)
"JJ Abrams indicator." To this day, I still find it odd that no one has shown the Alias intro sequence (seasons 1-3) to prove that Abrams likes his lens flares. The Alias intro is literally lens flares dancing against a black screen. In later seasons when they changed the intros, the lens flares are still there. haha
