Interesting they cut the part out where before he jumps he's whispering "Don't let me fall near a volcano like lord Xenu made the human race do to wipe them out!".
Is there anything Tom won't do?
leave scientology
The craziest stunt of all.
Who the fuck is Scientology hiring so that even famous actors like Cruise can't leave? Operation Snow White, Freakout, just wtf
tom cruise is either making a lot of money out of scientology, or he is legitimately insane.
you know. I actually think it's pretty cool that he's going to these lengths. Before watching the video i was like "why bother, you can't tell anyway!" but seeing it being done, it really drives home that doing it for real leaves only one way to film it and execute it while using a windtunnel and CGI would make the sequence 5 minutes long with 700 insane angles and a bible of mid-air dialogue. It's pretty fucking cool IMO.
Or they have some blackmail material or other means of threatening him
Holy crap I looked her up on Wikipedia
Remini then filed a "knowledge report" that was critical of Miscavige, Cruise, and other senior Scientology members and behavior on the part of members that was inconsistent with Church rules. She was
subsequently "subjected to years of 'interrogations' and 'thought modification'" that led to her being blacklisted within the Church, while fellow parishioners with whom she had been friends for decades wrote
internal reports about her, resulting in a Church investigation into her family.
That cameraman isn't given enough credit. Dude jumps out backwards and has to get a clean shot of Tom.
One of the main processes within Scientology is essentially doxxing yourself under the guise of a sort of therapy session. They've probably got decades of dirt on him.
Imagine having to put your nerves to the side just to get the right shot. Man has balls.
What is with the weird audio cutting when the people are talking in this video
HALO jumps take real balls to do
That's pretty genuine cool tbh.
That's a really neat stunt, this is hype media but honestly the subject is hype
Didn't they attach Cruise to a real plane taking off for one of the latest MI movies?
Dude's pretty rad to pull off some of these.
Really badass, took balls.
How much did that scene cost I wonder. And that plane is fucking gigantic.
Same model of plane he jumped out of here, Globemaster III.
The long standing rumor is celebrities join Scientology because they are so litigious and can basically keep any sort of dirt that can be gathered on them under wraps. Supposedly the reason John Travolta and Tom Cruise are in Scientology is because they're really closeted and joined up in a time when that could really kill your career.
Jump cuts; American TV is particularly bad for trying to stitch sentences together by clipping out words and pauses.
reminds me of how much effort keanu reeves put into john wick, really makes you appreciate the lengths actors are willing to go to
They have his sex tape with John Travolta.
It really sucks. Even worse when youtubers do it because it jitters them around the screen as well and just absolutely destroys any cadence and flow of what they're saying. I just can't absorb a jump-cut sentence without my brain going "wut?" It's very stilted and has the total opposite effect of the conveyed message just wizzing past.
So he broke his ankle for this movie AND did a legit HALO jump?
Not sure how he can up the ante for these stunts after this movie
He'll actually die and have to get resuscitated in MI:7
Become taller than 5'7"
Tom Cruise might be a nutter, but I can respect his dedication. But now to the actually important thing, why did they pay some poor guy to make the mission impossible theme sound like poop at 2:22?
If Tom left Scientology, they could end his career in a day.
Tom doesn't, and hasn't paid a single assistant or staff member since he joined Scientology. They're all scientologists, and they work for free essentially, having signed billion year contracts to do so.
All it would take for them is to release proof that he knowingly used, and even abused this power over other people and then his name is forever in the mud. I'm sure by this point he recognizes that they have him by the balls.
