While many Mission: Impossible fans are avidly looking forward to Dead Reckoning Part I, Cruise and director Christopher McQuarrie didn't hesitate when it came to filming Part II.

I just want the movie to have more feeling across the board."

To prepare for the moment, Cruise trained for a yearand performer over 500 skydives and 1,300 motorcycle jumps.
