20 Things You Didn't Know About Mission Impossible 2

12. Ben Stiller As Tom Crooze

One of the best things to come out of MI2, the mockumentary short, Mission: Improbable, is a hilarious 'behind-the-scenes' look at the stuntwork for the film starring Ben Stiller, Tom Cruise and even John Woo.

Made for the 2000 MTV Movie Awards, the spoof stars Stiller as Tom Crooze, the world's most dedicated stunt double, as he helps out on the production for the film whilst constantly frustrating Cruise and Woo.

Stiller is utterly hilarious as he mimics Cruise to an uncanny degree and, in the short's best moment, even manages to pull off his signature laugh.

It's a shame we don't get more more sketches like this nowadays, but with Mission: Impossible 7 and 8 currently in production, here's hoping Mr Crooze can make a return.
