"You're riding a motorcycle, which is pretty dangerous, on top of a ramp that's elevated off the ground. "So, if you come off the ramp that's going to be very bad. "You're falling. If you don't get a clean exit from the bike, if you get tangled up with it, if you don't open your parachute, you're not going to make it."Cruise said the stunt was something he wanted to do since he was a kid, with the video showing the years of preparation that went into nailing the feat. This involved the actor performing over 500 skydives and 13,000 motocross jumps as practice until he was an expert at both so that he could accomplish the scene itself, which required six takes. The results are jaw-dropping to say the least, with Cruise's base jumping coach John Devore dubbing it "the biggest stunt in cinema history". Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One arrives in Irish cinemas on 14 July 2023. You can watch the footage of Cruise performing the incredible stunt below. Clip via Paramount Pictures UK
