Is he trying to beat Jackie Chan’s injury record?

His co-star in these MI films, Jeremy Renner, recently broke both arms or elbows in a stunt gone wrong.

Yeah I know but what else would Chan use, flubbed line outtakes might be longer than the movie.

“How does he keep getting a job?”
Probably because he’s pretty good at his job.

None of us is as young as we once were. Ain't that the truth.
My husband told me, "Tom Cruise got hurt by MI-6". At least that was what I heard.
So I am sitting there wondering why British Intelligence would want to hurt Tom Cruise. Then I thought maybe they had seen "The Mummy" and I could understand the impulse but it seemed a bit of an overreaction.

so why not climb the Burj Khalifa if you have the chance? "Because it's a long way down" is the reason that comes to mind. I enjoy the MI movies and I respect the act that he does his own stunts, but it would be fine if he didn't, too. It might be time to consider letting someone else do some of them.

There are probably other stars who do their own stuntwork, but Im hard pressed to think of any. Keanu Reeves is another, and he is almost as old as Cruise. Also Jackie Chan, of course. I don't know how he can even walk anymore.
To: Mastador1; Calvin Locke
Jackie Chan got the idea from Burt. Jackie was in CannonBall Run, saw the outtakes at the end of the movie, and started doing it himself.
To: antidisestablishment
If you like seeing Cruise suffer, Edge of Tommorrow is the movie for you.
To: ClearCase_guy
Harrison Ford is pretty old and he crashes his own plane on a regular basis. But maybe that doesn't count.
Nah, no movie was involved.

He is pretty good at his job. He has either producer or executive producer credits on his MI movies and the Jack Reacher movies. He has a job because he makes one.

No fan of Cruise as a person, but he just happened to have starred in two of my all time favorite movies: Vanilla Sky and Eyes Wide Shut. Two very haunting films.

If I flew my own chopper and got to drive F1 cars just because I wanted to, I wouldn’t take crap from anyone.
Well, I don’t take any crap now, but you know what I mean...

I forgot that Reynolds was in “The Cannonball Run”. I remember Chan, only because I read he whined about being cast as a Japanese team member. (As if HK or China had a legitimate auto industry at the time...)

Life would be pretty good.

The Mission Impossible movies have made nearly $3 billion.
The two Jack Reacher films made $400 million.
He’s not going to carry a weird movie like Jerry Maguire to massive box office any longer. But you can put him in a mainstream blockbuster and know it’s going to work.
He’s also apparently a dream to work with. He is always completely prepared and willing to do absolutely anything a director asks. And he loves doing his own stunts.
He’s a total maniac, but that translates to good things on a movie set, I guess.
