Directed by: John Woo
Starring: Tom Cruise, Ving Rhames, Brendan Gleeson, Thandie Newton, Dougray Scott, Richard Roxburgh, John Polson
Sean Ambrose: You know women, mate. Like monkeys, they are - won't let go of one branch until they've got hold of the next.
Ethan Hunt: You turned around.
Nyah Nordoff-Hall: What are you going to do? Spank me?
Sean Ambrose: In just a few hours you can be assured of going down in history as the typhoid Mary of "Aus." G'day.
Continuity mistake: The tyres on the crotch rocket motorcycles they were riding kept changing from knobbly tyres to road slicks, back and forth depending on what terrain they were on. Easiest to see when Ethan skids on the road to avoid the white van - clear shot of slick tyres - then about 30 seconds later they're on the dirt, he skids into the old car and you can easily see that he's got off-road tyres front and back.
Trivia: The delays on the MI:2 shoot cost two of the actors high profile roles: Dougray Scott was replaced by Hugh Jackman in X-Men, and Thandie Newton was set to play Lucy Liu's role in Charlie's Angels, but this shoot ran so long that she didn't want to commit to another 6 month shoot immediately, so pulled out.
Question: What style of black leather jacket does Ethan Hunt wear just before the chase scene near the end of the movie, I've been looking for ages trying to find something similar?
