25 WTF Moments From The Mission: Impossible Franchise

21. The Ridiculously Pervy Camerawork (Mission: Impossible II)

It doesn't take long for some distractingly lecherous camerawork to show up in the second movie. When Nyah (Thandie Newton) is on top of Ethan while talking to him, Woo opts for the most blatantly pervy camera angle possible, staring down at the gorgeous actress' admittedly impressive display of cleavage. Cruise, meanwhile, plays the scene like a champ, maintaining an impressive level of eye contact throughout. On one hand, yes, Newton is wearing a ridiculously low-cut dress, but did Woo really need to be quite so obvious about the whole thing? It's kinda sleazy, and honestly, the first film seems to be the only one without at least one overtly leering scene at a female's form.
