25 WTF Moments From The Mission: Impossible Franchise
2. The Helicopter Flies Inside The Channel Tunnel (Mission: Impossible)
In the original movie's bombastic finale, Krieger is waiting in a helicopter to help Phelps escape the train with the money, but Ethan manages to tether the chopper to the train, causing Krieger to pull off some insane maneuvering when the train enters the Channel Tunnel. It's an absolutely absurd scene, as Phelps attempts to climb into the helicopter while Hunt pursues him, full of terrible CGI (making the film look hilariously dated), as if the idea of a helicopter flying through such a narrow tunnel wasn't already silly enough. Of course, in the end, thanks to some explosive chewing gum, Hunt blows the pair to smithereens, and the day is saved.
