With over two decades of crazy stunts and epic action scenes, there have also been some weird decisions made by the filmmakers. What was up with all the slow motion and doves in mission impossible 2? Why did they bring Jeremy Renner on board? What's up with Henry Cavill reloading his arms? For answers to these questions and more, step inside the pitch meeting that led to mission impossible!

Mission Super Easy Barely An Inconvenience.

"Who's the bad guy?"
"He's an ex-secret agent who has turned evil for no good reason."
"And which movie is this?"
"All- all of them."

[VarietyGamer]

“There are at least 5 min of runtime devoted to runtime” 😭

"We brought in Jeremy Renner just in case Tom Cruise ever wanted to leave the franchise."
"That was smart. So how did that go?"
"Jeremy Renner left the franchise."

Studio executive: soon we’ll just be able to make a whole movie with him just running!

"here's the thing that people don't really know. I'm not that good at my job" - this is the most relatable line I've ever seen!!

[LnPPersonified]

"Who are you gonna get to play Arm-Recharging Man?"
"I was thinking Henry Cavil."
"The guy who plays Superman? I don't want people to confuse the two. Have him grow a mustache."
"Good idea. There's no reason the guy who plays Superman would need to shave off a mustache."
"Mustaches are tight."

[Wiintre]

"They are all basically Mystique from X-men" never noticed that xD

[justinian-the-great]

"So, how does the movie end?"
"Well Tom Cruise does a backflip, snaps the bad guy's neck and saves the day!"
"Wait which one movie ends like this?"
"Basically, all of them!"

Wow I never noticed how completely different the movie director and the CEO of the company look... you know, they kind of remind me of Superman and Clark Kent... totally different.

I was concerned that there would be spoilers for Fallout, but you guys made stepping around those look Super Easy.

Something I like about the mission impossible franchise is how pretty much every question can be answered with spies. For example:
“How did they know that?”
Because they’re a spy
“Why can they fight so well?”
Because they’re a spy
Etc

I'm obsessed with these videos! I think I've watched like 50 in 2 days!!

There is a 1967 episode of The Avengers called: Mission ...Highly Improbable.

[HerrEllsworth]

I wonder if anyone even remembers that Mission: Impossible was once a tv series with NO sprinting!

I use Pitch Meeting quotes in my daily life

He couldn't poke too much fun at Fallout, it's a pretty perfect awesome movie

[haytijr]

Mission Impossible is not complete without Tom Cruise running for 5mns.
