Tom Cruise is absolutely mortified as to why he attempted the “most dangerous stunt” on the first day of filming for “Mission: Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part One”….

Why did Tom Cruise try the most dangerous stunt on the first day of shooting?

Tom Cruise attempted the “most dangerous stunt in the history of movies,” jumping off a cliff on a motorcycle in “Mission: Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part One,” the latest installment in the “Mission: Impossible” series. Tom trained for over a year to achieve this scene, and is known to have skydived 500 times and jumped 13,000 times on a motocross bike.

In fact, it was on the first day of filming that Tom attempted this desperate stunt. Tom told Entertainment Tonight why he did it.

The answer is either I can continue shooting this movie or I can’t. So I’m going to make it clear on the first day. So we decided to make it clear on the first day. （We’ll find out on the first day whether we can continue shooting (without any problems) or whether we have to make significant changes to the story.

The reason he decided to attempt the life-threatening stunt on the first day of shooting was to prepare for the worst-case scenario. Even if he survived, a serious injury would inevitably affect the shooting schedule. However, Tom, who had prepared carefully for the day of the stunt, was absolutely confident.

I was trained and ready,” he said. “You have to be razor sharp when you do something like this. In preparing for this film, it was very important to do that stunt first. We didn’t want to throw that feeling away and shoot another scene or be distracted by something else. Everyone was ready to go. It was like, “Come on, let’s do it.”

Incidentally, director Christopher McCurry also felt it was a good idea to do the stunt on the first day of shooting, “Doing it on the first day gave us enough time to understand why he was doing it the way he was doing it. If you just sit there and try to figure it out the old-fashioned way, you will never find (the answer). It’s simply because it’s so alive,” he said in an interview with Empire.
