Tom Cruise is famed for insisting he does all his stunts in the Mission: Impossible franchise and one stunt to speak of for Fallout drove the limits of insanity. Cruise jumped over 100 times from high altitude to capture perfectly a HALO (High Altitude, Low Opening) parachute sequence. The stunt required very hard timing and physical endurance to avoid fatal errors. In another stunt, Cruise actually broke his ankle and was back filming within weeks.
