Tom Cruise Reveals How He Pulled Off The Motorcycle Cliff Jump Stunt At Mission Impossible Premiere

on the big screen with that sound and everything it is surreal you know we've been thinking about this moment when I was going and talking all the fans and I just let them know I said look this is we dream about these moments and it never it never gets old to me I appreciate it I think even more I appreciate it as time has gone on and it's very special I remember the first time when I let go of the bike if I look straight down there's a concern that I might go into a tumble if I go into a tumble it would be very difficult to recover even if I get a little unstable so when I let go of that bike I remember I could feel the the tire the rear tire I could feel the air in my body as it's going around us again I just I hope it doesn't hit me and I look down at the bike to see my distance to make sure that because I wasn't sure whether I was going to get separation from that motorcycle we didn't quite know what was going to happen I didn't quite know and uh with all the prep and training and everything that I did so I just saw the I saw the motorcycle go away and I made sure that I looked up again and my timing as I feel the Wall go past me and then it was you know making sure that I go deep enough for the shot because when you see how low I'm getting the lower I got the better the shot was and I knew that so uh that's what I was thinking about and then I thought when I opened uh when I opened the Chute it was also not not getting dragged into the side of the mountain which uh on my test jump that morning you can see I was a little there's there was a it's very delicate because there was there was a squirrel in there and sometimes my it would hit my shoulder it hit my right shoulder so I'm like I'm opening the Chute doesn't open directly above me and you can see that I turned into the mountain on that on the EPK you can see it so I was thinking about that when I was open I was like I hope I don't go in the mountain again and I have to quickly pull away and then I have to try to make it back to base and then also get on with McHugh and find out how was that shot what do we do
