Tom Cruise has fans freaking out over incredible behind-the-scenes look at biplane stunt from Mission: Impossible 8: ‘Tell me you had a parachute…'

In the nearly 50-second clip, the Top Gun star performs a series of jaw-dropping mid-air stunts and said he's been obsessed with aerial sequences since he was a kid. He even admitted wanting to try wing walking after watching an old black-and-white film. In past interviews, the Hollywood A-lister has heaped praise on director Christopher McQuarrie, the filmmaker who, by all accounts, changed the game for him and helped turn Cruise's wildest stunt dreams into reality. When it came to pulling off the biplane madness, Cruise and the team aimed to build something that felt totally unique, but still classic. He said it's always a challenge to give fans a fresh thrill while stacking everything they've learned from past Mission: Impossible films.

While critics have rated the 8th instalment a notch lower than the last few M:I films, fans clearly think otherwise. 'Tom Cruise, you're a badass! Make that a video game, bro!' one fan commented. Another wrote, 'Tell me you had a parachute somewhere on you just in case!' One more summed up the mood perfectly: 'Thank you Tom! This whole sequence had my palms sweaty and full-on anxiety. What a movie. Don't listen to the critics, go watch it for yourself!'
Besides the stunt, Cruise also posted a heartfelt note addressed to his fans worldwide after the movie's opening weekend shattered box office records. 'Congratulations and thank you to every filmmaker, every artist, every crew member and every single person who works at the studios. To every theatre and every employee who helps bring these stories to audiences, thank you,' he wrote, while giving a big shoutout to Paramount Pictures and Skydance for their long-time support. 'And most of all, THANK YOU to audiences everywhere—for whom we all serve, and for whom we all LOVE to entertain. Sincerely, Tom,' he wrote.

Remember That Saiyaara Scene Where Vaani Called Krish Kapoor 'Mahesh'? Here's How It Was Shot
Last Updated: Saiyaara, starring debutants Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, became a hit for its love story and music. A BTS clip of iconic scene is going viral. Saiyaara, starring debutants Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda in lead roles, became a rage for its simple love story and, of course, terrific tracks. While several moments from the film often resurface online, one such iconic scene was loved by fans – it was when Ahaan's Krish Kapoor takes care of an ailing Vaani, battling the initial stages of Alzheimer's. In the scene, Krish Kapoor takes Vaani away from the city to spend time with her. During a crucial scene, she fails to recognise Krish and thinks of him to be her former lover, Mahesh. This breaks Krish's heart, however, he decides to let go and continue with life. The emotional scene struck a chord with the audience, with many lauding their chemistry and secretly hoping they work out at the end. A behind-the-scenes (BTS) glimpse from the filming of the particular scene is going viral on the Internet. Watch it here: You know the scene don't you?🥺❤️ — farbrown✧*。 (@yesssandnoooo) August 16, 2025 Did you know it was Aditya Chopra who wanted a fresh casting for Saiyaara? Mohit Suri was one of the guest speakers at CNN-News18's Mumbai Townhall even t where he said that it was YRF Head Aditya Chopra who told him that the film would flop if it were made with 'established names". 'I really had put in a lot of my voice into the film," Suri shared. 'In this atmosphere where everyone was blowing up cars, I was making this love story with new people. I put in a lot of myself in writing the film, along with my assistant. I sent the script to YRF during the December holiday weekend and I chickened out. I thought, let me give him some solution—in the sense, provide some actors and known names who would back me and make this film. I so badly wanted to make this film," he explained. The filmmaker admitted that his original vision was to work with newcomers, but market realities made him doubt the decision. 'When I wanted approval, I said okay, I have this list of actors who are willing to do this film with me. I wrote it for new people but I really want to make this film. I don't know in this market who will put in this much money to make it with new people," he continued. That's when Aditya Chopra stepped in with a bold perspective. Mohit Suri shared, 'It was Adi Sir who told me, 'Why are you making this film? My distribution and marketing team will be very happy that you are selling me this film with known faces, but I am telling you your film will flop if you make this with established names. Saiyaara released on July 18 sans much promotions and went on to become one of the highest-grossing films of 2025 with a gross collection of over Rs 500 crore.

BTS' Dumpling Fight To Stary Kids Wallet Dispute: 7 K-Pop Idol Conflicts
Last Updated: BTS members Jimin and V once had a dramatic fight over dumplings, and they did not speak for weeks. K-pop idol fights are always interesting to watch, as some of the fights are so dramatic that the stars cannot stop laughing about them years later, while other stories remain mysterious, and we may never know the real reason behind those fights. From spilt drinks to choreography disputes – some fights get so extremely serious that idols prefer not to revisit them; others are as trivial as a dumpling fight between BTS members V and Jimin. Let us take a look at some of the most iconic fights in K-pop history: BTS Clashes Although BTS members are widely praised for their strong friendship and genuine bond, disagreements between the members often take place. For instance, Jimin and V once had a dramatic fight over dumplings, and they did not speak for weeks. A far more serious fight was captured between Jin and V when they argued over Spring Day choreography. RM had to step in to stop the fight; later he was seen comforting a teary V. Another memorable fight occurred between Jimin and Jungkook, where the former singer stormed out in the rain and walked alone for 20 minutes only to receive an apology from Jungkook. Stray Kids Fights Han and Seungmin's wallet incident is one of the most memorable clashes that ever occurred between Stray Kids members. Seungmin was waiting for Han to clean up his belongings, but Han did not give it any importance, leading Seungmin to confront Han about the matter and Han throwing his wallet at him. This incident was later discussed in the 2 Kids Room series, where Han expressed his regret over the incident. Super Junior Disputes From spilt cola and ice cream mishaps to fights over high-fives and airport food, Super Junior fights are legendary for their chaotic nature. One significant altercation occurred between Leeteuk and Heechul during the 2010 Incheon Korean Music Wave Concert. The disagreement led to physical confrontation, with both members admitting to pushing and shoving each other. The members later stated the fight nearly led to the group's disbandment. Seventeen Clashes One of the memorable fights of the Seventeen members has to be the Jeju incident. The conflict began when Jeonghan and DK invited Seungkwan to join them on Jeju Island. Things took a turn when Jeonghan and DK expressed interest in riding a transparent kayak, leading Jeonghan to suggest that Seungkwan pay for it. However, Seungkwan felt reluctant, perceiving that DK might be avoiding the expense due to previous purchases. The misunderstanding led to a brief argument between Seungkwan and DK. Fights between Mamamoo Members Moonbyul and Solar were famous for their initial conflict days when the fights could get physical with the members pulling each other's hair, kicking, and even digging nails into each other. However, later they learnt how to handle disagreements more gracefully. SHINee Conflicts Key and Minho clashed over differences in dialect, leading to the creation of tension and awkward cold wars between the members. Over time the duo learnt to keep aside their differences and became close friends. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
