Sexy moments of the mission impossible franchise
1. The Mission Impossible one
*“Well, see if you can follow me around the room.”
*Black market old lady sexily patronizing baby Tom Cruise is pretty good. Get it, lady.
*The wire drop into the computer room part where he twists in midair and catches the edge of the table with one foot.
*Sleight of hand with the disks to fool Jean Reno.
*The tension between Ethan and Claire is pretty sexy, actually. He clearly likes her in the set up, even though she’s married to his mentor. Then they get disavowed and he wants to trust her, but also protect her, but also he needs her help. Her husband just “died” and she’s coming on to him. He gets suspicious, but doesn’t want it to be true. Good, classic sexy spy stuff. Love it.
2. Was this movie just called 2?
*MUCH sexier movie - thanks John Woo
*Rock climbing sexy
*Flamenco dancers sexy
*Ethan lying in the bathtub with Thandie Newton sitting on his chest, looking up at her totally relaxed and saying, “I just do what I’m told.”
-Mmm.
Is all I have to say to that.
*Sexy car chase that ends in actual sex.
*Morning after where they clearly still like and respect each other and talk about the job.
-Shut up. I like what I like.
*Thandie Newton letting her scarf fly away in the wind so Dougray Scott will catch it.
*Does anything else sexy happen in this movie? Other than every time there’s a slow zoom on Thandie Newton’s beautiful face.
*People make fun of all the slo-mo doves and explosions in this movie, but it’s John Woo in the year 2000. It’s a time capsule. I love it.
3. Can’t we just pretend this one didn’t happen?
*Does anything sexy happen in this movie?
*Maggie Q working it, as always. Even though that dress would never be allowed into the Vatican. Why the fuck are they breaking into the Vatican?
*Jonathan Rhys Meyers sexy in a rat kind of way. I’m not not into it.
*Phillip Seymour Hoffman not sexy.
*Ethan biting down on a tongue depressor and getting his wife to electrocute him is kinda sexy.
-If you’re a freak.
Which I am.
*Nothing else sexy happens in this movie. This movie is terrible.
4. GHOST PROTOCOL - Oh, yeah, that sounds cool, let’s never explain it.
*Everything in this movie is sexy. Enormous improvement, Brad Bird.
*Lea Seadoux murdering Josh Holloway and then embracing him tenderly while she steals the nuclear launch codes. God, she’s beautiful.
*That smooth, swinging jump from one prison walkway to the one below. Very low-key, very sexy. Nice work, Tom Cruise.
*The whole time Ethan is arguing with Benji via hand signals through the security cameras.
*That shrug at the prison guards while he leans on the railing. What an asshole.
-I love him.
*Prison hallway fight scenes. A lot of dodging and misdirecting. Ethan is an acrobat, not a brawler.
Excellent choreography, super sexy.
*Kremlin stuff is great but not terribly sexy.
*Waking up handcuffed to a hospital bed
-Shut up.
*Disappearing out the window, sliding down the power line and getting away to the absolute astonishment of Russian Cop. Love it.
*This whole movie is competency porn and I love it.
*Of course Ethan has to climb the building. (“We can get to it from outside.” / “We?”) That slow turn out from the room onto the window pretty sexy. Breaking through the glass into the server room also pretty sexy. Brandt jumping out the window to catch Ethan very sexy.
-LOL @ people who’ve known Ethan Hunt for two days being willing to leap off buildings for him. The man is a menace.
*Shots of Jeremy Renner’s ass in very tight suit sexy if you’re into Jeremy Renner.
-I’m not, generally speaking.
*Hotel suite fight scene sexy. I’m a sucker for good fight choreography, sue me.
*Safe house gun stealing scene between Ethan and Brandt. Very fast, very well choreographed, and emotionally tense. Super sexy.
*I think Paula Patton’s dress at the Indian party is weird and I hate the honeypot play. Ethan’s fingertips on the rim of her glass before he kisses her pretty sexy, kiss itself is meh. Zero chemistry. Weird expression on her face.
*More shots of Jeremy Renner’s ass.
*Paula Patton’s cleverly constructed strapless bra sexy if only from a practicality standpoint.
*Benji shooting bad guy henchman to save Brandt is pretty sexy.
*“Mission… accomplished!” Get out of here, Ethan. Go home.
-Sidebar: does Ethan have a home?
*Ethan disappearing into the fog like the dramatic bitch he is.
5. ROGUE NATION. Ugh, YES. Love it. Whatever that’s supposed to mean.
*Ohhh, this movie is even sexier than 4. Buckle up.
*Five minutes in and Ethan is already shirtless and chained to a pole. Love it.
-There’s something wrong with me.
*Shirtless, barefoot, chained to a pole, and making sexy banter and eye-contact with Rebecca Ferguson. I love this scene.
*Ilsa carefully lining up her shoes and rolling up her sleeves. Mm.
*Ilsa and Ethan completely ignoring a guy literally called the Bone Doctor just to sexily banter and make eyes at each other.
*This whole fight scene. God, I love Rebecca Ferguson.
*Ilsa snapping that guy’s neck with her thighs. Nut.
*Ethan and Ilsa breathily panting at each other while she’s trying to save his life and he doesn’t want to leave her behind. God.
*Benji angrily denying he owes Ethan Hunt anything while strapped to a polygraph and lying through his teeth. Sexy.
*Ilsa’s dress at the opera.
*Ilsa’s legs in that dress at the opera while holding a sniper rifle.
*“Shoes, please.”
*Ethan searching Ilsa in the back of a moving car and coming up with increasingly improbable weapons.
*Ilsa taking down soon-to-be-dead henchman guy by climbing him. With her legs. In that dress.
*Following lipstick clues to Morocco.
*Ilsa in a bikini is so clearly fanservice that it does nothing for me. Do like Ethan immediately getting her a towel.
*Simon Pegg looks really good in this scene. Good outfit. Good tailoring.
*Benji confidently telling Ethan how long he (Ethan) can hold his breath. Sexy by implication.
*Did you know Tom Cruise can hold his breath for six minutes? Oh, how I wish I did not know this or find it sexy.
*Ilsa electrocuting (defibrillating?) Ethan while they’re both half-dressed and soaking wet.
*Ilsa defibrillating (electrocuting?) Benji so she can steal the disk.
*The whole motorcycle/car chase scene. Very vroom vroom. Very sexy.
*That’s actually Tom Cruise driving. Oh, how I wish I did not know this or find it sexy.
*Ilsa’s sexy spy forest green trench coat. Half this list could just be: Ilsa’s wardrobe.
*Solomon Lane manhandling Ilsa is not sexy. I don’t hate this actor, but he’s very weird looking, facially.
*Sexy train station face off. The way they just look at each other and stop, understanding perfectly.
*“You sure can ride.”
...Um.
*“Come away with me. Right now.” Mm. Yes.
*Bonus points for Luther’s, Damn, now there’s two of them, “Oh, boy.”
*“Ethan Hunt is the living manifestation of destiny.” Haha, what?
*Sexy restaurant meeting with Benji strapped to a bomb. Actually, that part’s not very sexy. I love Benji, don’t hurt Benji.
*“If they come one step closer, shoot me.” Unf. Yes.
-What is wrong with me?
*“You want your money? The Bone Doctor’s gonna have to beat it out of me.”
-...UM.
-Seriously, what is wrong with me?
*Ethan using himself as cover while Ilsa shoots bad guys. Everything about the way they fight together, communicate plans with just a look, trust implicitly that the other will be there. Love it. Ethan’s never met anyone so perfectly on his level before, and he and I are both very into it.
*Ilsa’s whole knife fight with the Bone Doctor. Love it. Excellent choreography, great spy coat flapping around, great finish. Super sexy.
*“You know how to find me.” Oh, boy.
6. FALLOUT - Eventually, you reach a point of diminishing returns with the high stakes.
*Right off the bat, let me say Henry Cavill is very sexy, but that mustache is very, very bad and kills it for me. I can’t, with the mustache.
*Is Alec Baldwin in love with Ethan Hunt? He spent like three straight minutes complimenting him in Rogue Nation and now he left the CIA for him?
*Ethan giving Henry Cavill his oxygen is less sexy than it is evidence of his ability to pack bond with literally anyone in under ten minutes.
*Looks like the magic on that painting Tom Cruise keeps in an attic might be wearing off a little.
-Unfortunately, still would.
-Sorry about me.
*Gay threesome in a bathroom stall is my favorite cover yet.
*Who designed the fight choreography in this bathroom scene? It’s hardcore.
*Ethan: Oh shit, it’s Ilsa. Fuck, she looks amazing.
*Ilsa. Looks amazing. Who put her in that suit? All the awards.
*Every single time Ilsa and Ethan are on screen together is extremely sexy.
-I’m sorry about me.
-Even background characters are like, uh, guys? Should I just leave? I’m gonna give you two some privacy.
*There’s just nothing Ethan Hunt enjoys more than being sexily manipulated by beautiful, morally grey women.
*“We’ll burn that bridge when we get to it,” = Ethan’s life story.
*Wedging the truck in the alley to block the cops while they kick out the windshield.
*Benji at the wheel of that boat, wearing suspenders. Working for me.
*Motorcycle chase scenes are inherently sexy.
*Bouncing Ilsa over the roof of a car is sexy. It’s his only move, she knows it’s his only move. They look at each other and neither of them wants to do it.
-FRAUGHT.
*Ethan giving orders and Henry Cavill pretending to be uncomplicated backup muscle is sexy.
*Unf, reassuring Ilsa he didn’t want to hurt her. She knows, man. You communicate on a higher level where you’re both basically the exact same person. She doesn’t want to hurt you, either.
-Doesn’t mean she won’t.
*White Widow kiss sexy only because she’s the daughter of black market old lady from the very first mission impossible movie. Which means sexily patronizing Ethan Hunt is now a family tradition.
*Ilsa needed Lark alive but she killed him to protect Ethan. He works out her mission and who’s running her and she throws it all away to protect him.
-All of this is GOLD. Great classic sexy spy stuff with added role reversals.
*I… I really think Alec Baldwin is in love with Ethan. I don’t understand his actions otherwise.
*Mm. Sexy spy entrapment with Henry Cavill.
*The way Ethan just takes it when Luther stabs him with the tracker is kinda hot.
*Henry Cavill looking down at Ethan through the elevator grate is likewise hot but like, “Know when you’re beaten.”?
a. hot.
b. Ethan Hunt has never once in his life thought he was beaten. It’s his fatal flaw and greatest asset.
*Helicopter chase scene not sexy. Way too long.
*Walker’s little shrug at Ethan before he grabs the machine gun kinda sexy.
*Ilsa tied up not sexy; Ilsa smashing the chair she’s tied to so she can kick Lane’s ass very sexy.
*There’s a part in this very long cliff fight scene where Walker throws Ethan over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes, which, like,
a. sexy, but also,
b. yeah, that’s about how I’d expect a fight between Henry Cavill and Tom Cruise to go.
*Beat to hell and emotionally vulnerable in a hospital bed is a good look for Ethan.
-If you’re a freak.
-Which we’ve established I am.
*Ugh, the way Ethan and Ilsa touch each other like they’re so fragile when usually they’re hitting each other with motorcycles.
-Kill me.
