10 Awesome Movie Trailer Moments That Were Cut From The Film
10. Ethan Flies A Chopper Into Traffic - Mission: Impossible - Fallout
Though one could be forgiven for assuming that a blockbuster as action-packed as Mission: Impossible - Fallout left nothing on the cutting room floor, that's actually not the case at all.
The film's trailers showcased two high-wire action beats which were suspiciously absent from the film, the more memorable of which saw Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) flying a damn chopper low to the ground and almost colliding with an oncoming truck.
This is presumably taken from the film's lengthy climax where Ethan indeed commandeers a chopper, though there's no word on why director Christopher McQuarrie cut such an insane-looking moment.
He also removed a sequence earlier in the movie where Hunt is seen swinging around a nightclub after the cable he uses to rappel down appears to snap.
Considering that the final film clocks in at a hefty 147 minutes, it's perhaps most likely these scenes were cut for pacing's sake, even if it's clear that a pretty penny was spent on executing them.
