The scene in the new MI where he is hanging from an airplane, while taking off to 5000 feet is actually him.

Meh, I'd do it.  I'm sure it's perfectly safe with a safety harness and he is probably only risking bruises.

Tom Cruise might be a midget whackjob, but man, that guy has had a hell of a life.

I give him credit for doing his own stunts, but Im surprised the insurance companies allow it.

You would have to pay me more to not do that.  It looks fun as hell.  In Tom's case he feels he is just short of immortal due to the screwy scientology BS he believes.

I gotta ask, why?  It isn't like you can really see him in those, so why risk the star?  Do close-ups on the ground with a big-ass fan blowing his hair back, stunt double in the air.

It's a risky business but he's the kind to hang it all out there and not just be the plane old actor.

those aren't the only camera angles or even the camera angles that will be used at all in the actual scene. If you look close you can see a gyro stabilized camera in fron tof tom mounted on the outside of the plane. the look on his face alone being thousands of feet in the air with the wind ripping past at 300 miles an hour is going to far exceed any amount of green screen work that will look fake

The most dangerous thing about that stunt is that it's on an A400M.  They don't have the best record.

I think he's admitted to being an adrenaline junky. I always got the impression he can't turn down the intensity.

He is crazy as hell, but a great actor.  Doubt I would invite him over to my house for dinner with the family, but I would happily buy him a beer.

As was the case back in March, seeing video of the stunt shows how real and DAMN REAL the stunt was.  The only CGI work was to erase the safety straps, but that is Cruise hanging on the plane as it does a max performance take off.

Airplane stunt is at the end of the trailer

I think it's cool when actors do their own stunts.  It does take balls, whether it's for publicity or not.  



But Jackie Chan is probably my favorite.

He's nuttier than a squirrel turd,  but i tend to like his movies.  He's a decent actor and i can respect that.  Plus, he's banged Nicole Kidman and Katie Holmes, two of the hottest women on earth.
