@@cate01a What's to stop the other person from just backing up? The penetration would not be deep enough to kill. The stabber can't step forward, nor can he grab hold of them. Impossible that you can kill anyone that way.

So in the scene, to me it implies the stabber grabbed out and snatched the womens arm, then began stabbing her, while he has hold of her.

What a beautiful looking film. The first M:I has a very unique and researched cinematography, which also heightens the drama and renders Prague in all its beauty. The music is also terrific.
Yeah I mean the reviews for the film were mixed...but this movie always gives me a vibe that none of the sequels could bring back. Danny Elfman's score is breathtaking.
I say fuck the reviews. Most of the negative ones have to do with the fact that Jim Phelps is the antagonist and that the plot was complex. Childish remarks at best.
totally agreed. some of the later films, especially Ghost Protocol, have a sweep or grandeur about them, but this has more personality than just "lots of money to shoot amazing locations." And I love the later movies. It's just so cool to look back at a blockbuster from 20 years ago and see how visually expressive it is. Freakin' De Palma, man!
@@robschneider8310 Nothing childish about it. Making Phelps the villain was lazy writing and a shady attempt to 'trick' the fans. And the story isn't complex, it is convoluted and has gaping plot-holes.
Of the MI films, i find this to have the best plot. I also really liked the filming in Prague, where you see his entire team dying and later in a flashback when he figures out how everyone got killed by the mole.
Perhaps the best plot, but giving a twist of having TV series hero Jim Phelps turn bad really make this movie reek. I'll stick with the REAL "Mission: Impossible" -- the TV series. This whole phony franchise was nothing but a lousy rip-off.
Its not really a great plot for me, that helicopter flying in the tunnel at the end and somehow Ethan survived the explosions that close which is bullshit is unrealistic, and then the train driver passed out when he sees the helicopter which is even more cheesy
@@aaronkenyon7112 Marie His entire team including Sarah in M:I-1 His mentor betrayed him in M:I-1 Lindsey Farries in M:I-3 His wife got kidnapped in M:I-3 Hunley in Fallout Ilsa in Dead Reckoning Poor guy can't catch a break. No wonder he feels so lonely. Honestly Ethan's fate is horrifying. He doesn't live anymore, he is just alive.
I love how Ethan is panicking and barely getting it together and finally breaking down in the phone booth. This reminds you at the beginning of the franchise he is just a newbie getting started, an exceptional young agent with all the right skills, but still has a long way to go, he cracks under such pressure and goes through all the emotions, clueless and desperate. This makes the main hero relatable and human.
Absolutely. He's not new to it. He's done missions with this team before. He knows them well, so it makes it all the more unbearable for him to have lost these people he is close with
Yeah i believe a helicopter can fly in a tunnel and somehow goes as fast as a bullet train, and then Ethan blows it up but for some reason he's not dead by the explosions
Imagine getting Kristen Scott Thomas in your movie and killing her after about 10 minutes of screentime, if it even was that much! Very unexpected tho so props for that
In fact, the first Mission Impossible film was probably the most faithful to the TV series in the 1960's and 1980's. If they did not make the Phelps character a traitor in this film and let his death have meaning, then this film would have been even better.
She literally sees the guy getting stabbed about five or more feet away, knows he's being stabbed, then decides to get really, really, close to the gate... So she can get stabbed too!
I wish Kristin Scott Thomas was one of the main agents in the series, instead of dying so early in the film. She really looked like one of those hot yet deadly kind of agents.
I remember watching this as a kid just being utterly shocked at all the heroes getting murdered, and Ethan just having to bear witness to it all. Only when he met up with Kittredge later did I even try to guess who was behind it, but I had no clue I couldn't think straight. At one point I even thought it was the other IMF team.
That's because the writers had no respect for the original Mission: Impossible franchise or its characters. THere is literally no way that Jim Phelps would kill off his team. I watched too many shows where he risked everything if a member of his team was in danger, laws and regulations be damned if necessary.
Ethan Hunt is stuck in the cycle of sacrifice, loss and isolation. He has been like this ever since he lost Marie. Sarah and Ilsa's death are just grim reminders of this. That's the whole point of Dead Reckoning. @@omermert4165
Lightner445555555555 fallout isn’t dark. U don’t feel any sense of alienation. I find many modern movies even if they got “disavow “ or “betrayed” u rarely feel the tension. It’s almost like not much consequence and you know it will b over before it ends Even civil war. While it’s good to see Captain america and tony fight but I wish there are darker or stay that way longer Coz they are on totally different values But instead it’s more like a simple fight if you know what i mean
I know how the mission went wrong started at 1.Jon Voight as Jim took out Jack on the Elevator 2. He had fake his own shooting at the bridge when he was shooting his silencer gun 3. How did he did the Claire's car and the team's transport car Ok I know, Claire got out of the car when abort the mission then Hannah got in the car he came out of the river by climbing the bridge and he set off the car exploding took Hannah out 4. He had backed up from Krieger because I remember Krieger's knife to took out Golitsyn to get the Noc list then his back up man Krieger took out Sarah. on the fence.
But more important than anything, this movie went wrong, horribly wrong, by having the good-guy and star of the REAL "Mission: Impossible" (the TV series) turn out to be a baddie. WTF? Some punk named Ethan who wasn't even part of the series is the good guy, but IMF leader Phelps isn't? Brian DePalma is an arrogant ass for that sin. If you sign-on Tom Cruise to be the star and hero, then for gosh sakes have HIM play Jim Phelps. Don't piss off all the fans of the original (and great) TV series. Only saw this movie once in the theater, and was so outraged I never saw it again, nor any of the sequels. BTW Peter Graves IS Jim Phelps. The one and only.
Ethan surmises that Hannah could have gone either way: by Jim triggering the detonator after getting out of the water or Claire waiting a safe distance from the car and detonating it. I think Claire was most likely Hannah's killer because she was within eyesight of the car and admitted she had left the car to Ethan. Jim would have just pulled himself out of the water and wouldn't have a clear eyeline to the car to know whether Claire had gotten out of it, and Hannah had gotten in.
@@mish375 I think Jim already took Jack at the elevator and fake own shooting, Claire took out Hannah and Krieger took out Golitsyn and Sarah was in on this time whole time. I think Ethan's first flashback Showing Claire detonating the car was right the first time when Hannah got in the car, I think was second flashback showing Jim detonating the car after getting out of the river by climbing bridge was wrong unless he gots a camera eye sight to the car there's no way that he can't take out Hannah or pulled it off. Claire heard Ethan said Abort that when she got out of the car and in safe distance an eyesight of Hannah getting in the car and detonating it and set it off,
@@mish375 when mission is aborted, should have Hannah and Claire be together? I remember Claire saying to Ethan that she left the car. But from my understanding, that’s not part of the plan. Claire was transport. Hannah was their eye in the sky. Why did Ethan believed Claire so easily?
Sad af, I was hoping to see more of the original team here... They have such a good chemistry together since it has been couple of times the were working together... Even Ethan still can slip in some jokes with the others too, shame they killed them all from the get-go This is the most tragic opening of all M:I films
@@rowan4190 Rewatch the opening. Review the whole grittiness of the movie and intensity. Owen Davian was the most intense, dark villain in the series, RIP Philip Seymour Hoffman. He played an amazing villain.
1:11 If I was Sarah and I saw that Galitsyn got stabbed through the gate I would just abort this mission instead of getting closer to get stabbed myself and getting killed.
@@tolbertjason Galitsyn had the disk tbf.... And I don't get why people presume that Krieger necessarily stabbed her through the gate. Couldn't he have jumped over it and killed her after that??
This was, in my view, far and away the best M:I film. And it feels so very different from all the others. Even the newer ones I like kind of blend with the others. This one stands on its own.
The genius of the title sequence is that it makes the audience think this entire team will play a central role in the film, then BAM, most of it gone inside half an hour, leaving Ethan shocked and alone.
And Mission Impossible 1 was the most faithful to the TV series because the Mission Impossible tv show was mostly a spy tv series. Yes, there is some action in that show, but it was mostly a mind game between the good guys and the villains. If Mission Impossible did not make the Phelps character a traitor in the movie and let Phelps death have meaning, then this film would have been even better.
Most ordinary moviegoers in 1996 didn't read the cast list on movie posters and the Internet was nowhere as ubiquitous as it is now, so the trick of setting up stars like Jon Voight, Kristin Scott Thomas and Emilio Estevez to be Ethan Hunt's team and then seemingly killing them all off to stun the audience worked very well.
Actually, I'm think Jim and Clarie and Krieger was in on this mission gone wrong this whole time, 1. First Jim Phelps took out Jack at the Elevator. 2. He fake his shooting death on the bridge with a blood bag. 3. Jim Took Hannah out, wait a minute that is wrong because how can he have a clear eyesight of the car see Hannah getting in after coming out of the river and climbing the bridge to detonate the car? Okay, This is what I think When Claire heard Ethan on the radio said Abort She got out of the car and she was a safe distance from the car to see Hannah getting in and detonate the car, that she took out Hannah, Jim had her help back up to take out Hannah. 4. Then he had other back up from Krieger to take out Galitsyn to get the NOC list and take out Sarah on the fence.
Marc-Andre Blanchard Hannah was second that got took out by Jim and He set off the Claire's car to explode Claire got out of the car when Jim said abort the mission Hannah got in the car she was took out by Jim coming out of the river by bridge after he fake being shot.
In the beginning, when they get to the party there is some classical music playing...some violins...Please, what is that composition/music ? Can you help me ? I coudn't find that in the soundtrack. Thanks!
Unfortunately (as great as this opening sequence is) there is a really awkward shot that gives away the twist later. If you've seen your fair share of movies, they you would know that there is no natural way of that being filmed that exact way and so you can't be fooled. Shame, because it is a good twist otherwise.
I was like 8 when I first watched this movie and I was like, is it some kind of spooky gate that sucks people in somehow and there's a guy there that stabs them for some reason?
Did Claire kill Hannah by detonating the bomb? Ethan seemed to think that when he put the pieces together after phelps proved he was the traitor, but then he envisions Jim pushing the button after getting out of the river.
Wait I remember this part. 1. First Jim Phelps took out Jack at the Elevator. 2. He fake his death on the bridge with a blood bag. 3. He had backup which is Krieger to take out Golitsyn and Sarah at the fence. 4. How did he do Hannah? No, Claire couldn't done Hannah She was already out of the car when the mission was aborted, Ok, now I get it, Jim Phelps took out Hannah after getting out of the river faking his own death Blowing Hannah up in the car.
I think Claire did kill Hannah. She left the car and had a line of sight to it to know when Hannah had gotten inside. Plus she and her husband were in on this together. But Jim didn't have a clear eyeline to the car after pulling himself out of the water. He wouldn't have known that Hannah had just entered the car if he and Claire had planned for her (that's Claire) to exit the vehicle.
@@mish375 Actually, I'm think Jim and Clarie and Krieger was in on this mission gone wrong this whole time, 1. First Jim Phelps took out Jack at the Elevator. 2.

@@tolbertjason Yes. All 3 of them were involved in the betrayal and murder of the rest of the team. What they didn't count on was Ethan. Initially the plan was to frame him so they could run off and sell the list undiscovered. Jim would use Claire to seduce Ethan, and she would act as a "control" to make sure he was doing what they needed, then let the authorities take him to a black site where he'dnever see the light of day. What neither of them expected was that Ethan would start to put the pieces together after going into survival mode. In fact, by allowing Ethan to survive, they allowed the most intelligent person to become their enemy simply by underestimating him.
I believe it was Jim. During that flashback, it showed Claire, but after that, we see another flashback of Jim climbing out the river, looking at his watch, and detonating the switch like he knew how long it would take Hannah to get back into her car. Or maybe Claire did call Jim to let him know she was there. Now maybe you can interpret this as Ethan didnt want to believe Claire had any part in the scheme since he already concluded Jim was the mastermind. So perhaps the first memory was real and the one afterwards was his belief.
this is stupid, how was she killed when she seen how some1 is killing that dude through the fence so she came closer to the fence so she can get some death too
This always troubled me too but I believe it's because she could see it was Jim Phelps her friend doing the killing so she came closer to speak to him (thinking he's on her side)
There have been actors who did roles that weren't credited. Rob Lowe for Tommy Boy even though he had a significant part in that Movie. Also, the sequel to this movie had Sir Anthony Hopkins uncredited as the boss.
it was a good movie... but his team died in the first 10 minutes... made it quite boring. i was expecting his team to be killed off during the WHOLE movie, not jsut the beginning.
R u stupid?? THATS THE PLOT. Ethan's team gets killed and he is the only one who survived. Thats the plot, he has to find the mole who betrayed the team and killed them
This movie committed the unpardonable sin of making series hero and star Jim Phelps a bad guy. Won't ever watch this stupid movie again (nor any of it's sequels).

You know they hadn't gotten the formula down, yet, because they didn't show every minute of Tom Cruise running through the streets.
Actually, I'm think Jim and Clarie and Krieger was in on this mission gone wrong this whole time, 1. First Jim Phelps took out Jack at the Elevator. 2. He fake his shooting death on the bridge with a blood bag. 3. Jim Took Hannah out, wait a minute that is wrong because how can he have a clear eyesight of the car see Hannah getting in after coming out of the river and climbing the bridge to detonate the car? Okay, This is what I think When Claire heard Ethan on the radio said Abort She got out of the car and she was a safe distance from the car to see Hannah getting in and detonate the car, that she took out Hannah, Jim had her help back up to take out Hannah. 4. Then he had other back up from Krieger to take out Galitsyn to get the NOC list and take out Sarah on the fence.
I never got this, she saw a dude getting stabbed why didn't she hightail it outta there? Why walk up to the fence and get stabbed yourself smh?
I agree the first 2 films we're the best
this film has a lot of action.
LOL i'm not complaining. I'm just saying what i felt. But the second to fourth movies were awesome!
Not the first one?
Whatever you do...
Just don't chew it.....

Praga, misteriosa e bellissima
Marc-Andre Blanchard Hannah was second that got took out by Jim and He set off the Claire's car to explode Claire got out of the car when Jim said abort the mission Hannah got in the car she was took out by Jim coming out of the river by bridge after he fake being shot.
Could someone explain some of the spy terms they use in this movie? For example, "in/out of pocket", "toast", etc.
Toast was just an arbitrary test phrase for the decibel meter since it has the harsh 't' and 'st' sounds in the word.
ColdCutz
Wow. Did not know that. Thank you.
Out of pocket means you pay for something directly yourself, and these aren't spy terms, dumbass.
In the beginning, when they get to the party there is some classical music playing...some violins...Please, what is that composition/music ? Can you help me ? I coudn't find that in the soundtrack. Thanks!
hello, use shazam
I always liked this mist scene that feel so intense
Unfortunately (as great as this opening sequence is) there is a really awkward shot that gives away the twist later. If you've seen your fair share of movies, they you would know that there is no natural way of that being filmed that exact way and so you can't be fooled. Shame, because it is a good twist otherwise.
The elevator death is brutal
Tom Cruise Lost His Team
I was like 8 when I first watched this movie and I was like, is it some kind of spooky gate that sucks people in somehow and there's a guy there that stabs them for some reason?
The Mission Impossible game for N64 was 5x better than the movie.
@eating sugar no papa yeah it was, did u play it?
At least Claire survived in the game
@@HarmonySword Claire wasn’t in the game, her name was Candice Parker
Ethan Hunt vs. Jason Bourne
Who would win????
may i direct you to watchmojo's channel
+Jeffrey Sanchez Watchmojo is shit
Bourne would win because he is a new generation agent with an advanced medical treatment and stuff. Plus, he works alone, Hunt relies on a team
Jason Bourne of the novels, but not that baby-faced little wimp Matt Damon. What a sorry excuse of a movie star.
My team is DEAD!

No MI5 was 2015 not 2018. MI6 was 2018
I meant to say that but I probably forgot ok

I wish they make this in a new Mission Impossible.

Run Tom run ❤
Did Claire kill Hannah by detonating the bomb? Ethan seemed to think that when he put the pieces together after phelps proved he was the traitor, but then he envisions Jim pushing the button after getting out of the river.
Wait I remember this part. 1. First Jim Phelps took out Jack at the Elevator. 2. He fake his death on the bridge with a blood bag. 3. He had backup which is Krieger to take out Golitsyn and Sarah at the fence. 4. How did he do Hannah? No, Claire couldn't done Hannah She was already out of the car when the mission was aborted, Ok, now I get it, Jim Phelps took out Hannah after getting out of the river faking his own death Blowing Hannah up in the car.
I think Claire did kill Hannah. She left the car and had a line of sight to it to know when Hannah had gotten inside. Plus she and her husband were in on this together. But Jim didn't have a clear eyeline to the car after pulling himself out of the water. He wouldn't have known that Hannah had just entered the car if he and Claire had planned for her (that's Claire) to exit the vehicle.

@@tolbertjason Yes. All 3 of them were involved in the betrayal and murder of the rest of the team. What they didn't count on was Ethan. Initially the plan was to frame him so they could run off and sell the list undiscovered. Jim would use Claire to seduce Ethan, and she would act as a "control" to make sure he was doing what they needed, then let the authorities take him to a black site where he'dnever see the light of day.
What neither of them expected was that Ethan would start to put the pieces together after going into survival mode. In fact, by allowing Ethan to survive, they allowed the most intelligent person to become their enemy simply by underestimating him.
Imagine if he died right here lmao, oof, Mission: Impossible would have only been one movie.
Mission Impossible Live Not Fur Kanyon Not Live Warning & Caution🙂
??? Mission gone wrong ???
!!! Impossbile !!!
Fun Fact: this movie was realeased the year l
Lil Peep was born
Was it Claire or Jim that Blew Up Hannah in the Car ?
It was Jim
No, Claire didn't do it she already out of the car when the mission was aborted.
It was Claire. Jim didn't have an eyeline on the car to see who was inside it. Claire did.
Claire did it.
I believe it was Jim. During that flashback, it showed Claire, but after that, we see another flashback of Jim climbing out the river, looking at his watch, and detonating the switch like he knew how long it would take Hannah to get back into her car. Or maybe Claire did call Jim to let him know she was there.
Now maybe you can interpret this as Ethan didnt want to believe Claire had any part in the scheme since he already concluded Jim was the mastermind. So perhaps the first memory was real and the one afterwards was his belief.
What happened to Hannah??
she got blown up
Car trouble.
full movies plssss
this is stupid, how was she killed when she seen how some1 is killing that dude through the fence so she came closer to the fence so she can get some death too
This always troubled me too but I believe it's because she could see it was Jim Phelps her friend doing the killing so she came closer to speak to him (thinking he's on her side)
no, it was the french guy (the one who helps ethan later) who did the stabbing. jim was trying to leave in this scene
I also don't like the way she died. Very stupid.
This entire movie makes little sense. But it's expertly shot and has an amazing score. It's what we call a big hot mess.
@Jervin Gerzon
Jim was not trying to leave, dumbass. He set the whole thing up, idiot.
Was this Ethan hunts first MI7 team?
" MY TEAM IS DEAD YOU HEAR ME MY TEAM IS DEAD!! "
Not sure why Emilio didn’t get credit ? Maybe why he doesn’t Go by sheen
There have been actors who did roles that weren't credited. Rob Lowe for Tommy Boy even though he had a significant part in that Movie. Also, the sequel to this movie had Sir Anthony Hopkins uncredited as the boss.

The trick.
Mission Ridiculous
Mission Impossible is ridiculously incredible
it was a good movie... but his team died in the first 10 minutes...
made it quite boring.
i was expecting his team to be killed off during the WHOLE movie, not jsut the beginning.
R u stupid?? THATS THE PLOT. Ethan's team gets killed and he is the only one who survived. Thats the plot, he has to find the mole who betrayed the team and killed them
The original Suicide Squad
خيانة الاصدقاء وقتل الأوفياء
After if Sarah saw Galitsyn getting stabbed by Krieger through a fence why didn't she just aborted instead of getting closer to be stabbed by Krieger?
Curiosity killed the cat
Češi do toho
This movie committed the unpardonable sin of making series hero and star Jim Phelps a bad guy. Won't ever watch this stupid movie again (nor any of it's sequels).
I will admit it's a well-made movie, but it is certainly overshadowed by the fact they picked Phelps of all people to be the traitor.
This franchise might actually be the one reboot of a TV series that gets away with "out with the old, in with the new."
Did you get the link?
Boo hoo
