Im posting this clip for two reasons: 1. Directed by HK legend John Woo. Nuff said, and 2. Cruise performed this stunt by himself, no stuntmen. In my opinion this is the best of the IM movies. Woo also directed American films, such as Hard Target, Face Off with John Travolta and Nicholas Cage, and Broken Arrow with Travolta and Christian Slater. John Woo from Wikpedia: He is considered a major influence on the action genre, known for his highly chaotic action sequences, Mexican standoffs, and frequent use of slow-motion.[2] Woo has directed several notable Hong Kong action films, among them, A Better Tomorrow, The Killer, Hard Boiled, and Red Cliff.[2] His Hollywood films include Hard Target, Broken Arrow, Face/Off and Mission: Impossible II.[2] He also created the comic series Seven Brothers, published by Virgin Comics. Woo was described by Dave Kehr in The Observer in 2002 as arguably the most influential director making movies today.[3] Woo cites his three favorite films as David Leans Lawrence of Arabia, Akira Kurosawas Seven Samurai and Jean-Pierre Melvilles Le Samouraï.[2] Enjoy the clip folks. ...
