What was your favorite "Mission: Impossible?"

[grahamcann]

So many little things you missed: Before "Mr. Phelps" there was "Mr. Briggs", played by Law & Orders (original DA) Steven Hill. From '88 to '90 there was a return of the "Mission Impossible" (1988-90) series on TV, in which Peter Graves returned as Mr. Phelps; and it also had Phil Morris, the son of original cast member Greg Morris (Barney Collier), playing Collier's son. (Greg Morris was also in a couple of the revisits episodes.) Sam Elliot (1970-71) and Leonard Nimoy (1969-71) were part of the original series cast for a time. And Elliot, who played a Doctor, didn't have a mustache!
As always, thank you so very much for the videos.

Would watch reruns of the original series with my great-grandma as a kid. It was a good time.

I so can’t wait for part 1 of dead reckoning also I hope the series continues after the Eithen Hunt story arc we just need to find someone to replace Tom Crusie as the main agent maybe they could bring back the TV series and do a lead up to the first new movie arc in the later part of this decade.

My favorite: That's IMPOSSIBLE to answer. They are all good

[tim_kenar]

I agree with Tom, Cinema experience is the best for such movies.

[MarioLamRedRebel]

I agree with Tom Movies are for the theatre so for everybody.👍🎬🎥

Red note : let's we all hope Ilsa Faust not be killed off in those upcoming Mission Impossible dead reckoning part 1 and 2 films, the key in the desert scene and the Venice bridge scene alerting us

I haven’t seen any of the MIs, but I will always see a movie if Danny Elfman wrote the score. 💕 So here I go…

Everyone jumped off their roof in the 50-80's even the girls did, folks.
