10 Movie Stunts That Went Very Wrong (But Are Still In The Film)

10. Tom Cruise Breaks His Ankle - Mission: Impossible - Fallout

Given Tom Cruise's insistence to perform almost all of his own stunts in the Mission: Impossible movies, it's frankly surprising the man hasn't injured himself more.

Yet things finally caught up with the actor-stuntman while shooting the series' sixth instalment, Fallout, when he was tasked with leaping across rooftops in London.

Though Cruise was harnessed up for the stunt to ensure he couldn't fall and potentially fatally injure himself - with the wires being painted out during post-production - he nevertheless miscalculated the jump and broke his ankle.

When Cruise contacted with the building on the other side of his jump, his foot smashed against the side of it, instantly breaking his ankle.

This resulted in production being shut down for seven weeks while he recovered, costing an eye-watering $80 million, which was thankfully covered by insurance.

However, director Christopher McQuarrie decided to include the fateful take in the final film itself, complete with a pained Cruise pulling himself up onto the rooftop and hobbling out of shot.

You can't knock the man's commitment to his craft, but boy, insurance companies must loathe him.
