1. Those Missing Trailer Shots

If you've seen the Fallout trailers enough, you might have noticed that a number of big money shots are actually missing from the final film, the most egregious ones being Ethan almost flying the helicopter into an oncoming truck, and Ethan swinging through the Paris nightclub on a rope.

Hilariously, writer-director Christopher McQuarrie confirmed to Digital Spy that these beats were cut because there was "too much action in the movie", though also added that they will be included on the DVD and Blu-ray as bonus features.

When a movie has to cut incredible shots like this because they're superfluous, you know you've got one hell of an action classic on your hands.
