Deliberate mistake: When Walker leaves the tunnels in London and Hunt follows him, they both start their way to the Tate Modern Museum at Queens Head Passage / Paternoster Row. While Hunt is being chased and cannot choose his route, besides not knowing about Walker's destination, Walker deliberately takes a detour to Blackfriars Station and the bridge, even though he could just have walked a direct line from St. Paul's Cathedral towards Tate Modern using Millennium Bridge to directly cross to the museum and his getaway. The whole chase sequence would be obsolete. (01:31:58 - 01:36:56)
Mission: Impossible - Fallout (2018)
1 deliberate mistake
Directed by: Christopher McQuarrie
Starring: Tom Cruise, Henry Cavill, Rebecca Ferguson, Vanessa Kirby
Continuity mistake: During the getaway in the 4-door olive-green BMW, in one shot, the driver's headrest is bent forward; in the next shot, it is shown back in the straight-up position.
August Walker: Hope is not a strategy.
Ilsa Faust: Oh you're new.
Trivia: Tom Cruise broke his ankle doing the building jump in London. He was always intended to almost miss the landing and have to pull himself up, but his foot hit the side of the building and was forcibly bent at a wrong angle. Filming was held up for seven weeks. When he limps away once he has climbed up to the roof, he's not acting - that's the result of his injury.
Question: What's the idea behind the name 'Nils Debruuk'? It's stated he's Norwegian, but 'Debruuk' doesn't sound Norwegian at all, more like someone from the Netherlands?

Answer: Nils Debruuk could be Norwegian by nationality, rather than by race if his parents, Grandparents, etc. immigrated to Norway. He may also be part Norwegian on his maternal side if his mother had a child by someone from another country. It is also possible his mother was full-blooded Norwegian and his father was half and had a non-Norwegian father. There's a number of possibilities. I did an Internet search on the name. In that form, I didn't find anything as a surname. There is De Bruuk, which is an area in the Netherlands.
