Product Details of Mission: Impossible II [DVD] [Canadian]

Description

Theatrical release: May 24, 2000. Filmed at Fox Studios and on location in Sydney & Broken Hill, Australia, and filmed at Los Angeles Center Studios and on location in Moab, Utah, and Los Angeles, California. The film grossed more than $210 million at the domestic box office and more than $430 million worldwide. John Woo told Mr. Showbiz that the love story in M:I-2 was inspired by the spy love story between Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman in Alfred Hitchcock's NOTORIOUS. Tom Cruise insisted on performing virtually all his own stunts, against director John Woo's wishes. Tom Cruise had never before fired a gun in any his previous films. Oliver Stone was at one time attached as the director of this film. Tom Cruise and Ving Rhames are the only returning cast members from the first film. Metallica's music video for I Disappear, from the M:I-2 soundtrack (the song appears over the closing credits), features scenes mimicking BULLITT, DIE HARD, and NORTH BY NORTHWEST, in addition to a final shot of Cruise. This is the first song Metallica has written specifically for a motion picture. When John Woo was growing up, his favorite types of films were musicals and westerns. Anthony Hopkins's appearance in the film is uncredited. The theme song Take a Look Around (Theme from 'M:I2') by Lalo Schifrin & Fred Durst is performed and produced by Limp Bizkit.

The question I have about this movie, and the first one, for that matter is what is with the personnel department at IMF?  This is two movies in a row with a rogue employee.  Great screening process guys.

John Woo did better work when he made low budget flicks with unknown actors and actresses. The worst performance in this movie goes to the bad guy, he just isn't evil enough and just isn't any good at being evil. Tom Cruise isn't much better as a hero, nowhere near as good as the first one. Best Scene: I can't think of any.

Mission: Impossible II [DVD] [Canadian]

This is perhaps one of the worst action movies of all time. First of all, it is so removed from the premise of the original Mission: Impossible series that people wouldn't even recognize it as a sequel were it not for the title. Second, the plot is as predictable as they come: a bad man wants to threaten the world with a virus and the hero has to stop him, plus the girl is in danger; give me a...

Mission: Impossible II [DVD] [Canadian]

This movie had two redeeming qualities: awesome visuals(action & scenery)and Richard Roxburgh(Hugh Stamp). The action scenes and shots of landscapes were wonderful to see and R.R. is just pure eye-candy. I looked at this man right in the first scene where he is in the cockpit and thought, "This man is pure gold." About the plot; there are enough negative comments here about that, so...

Ok, if you want cheap rip-offs of other movies added with poor acting and even less plot this is a must see. If you want a good movie than forget this. Cheap thrills abound, if you can call them thrills at all. Definitely not recomended.

This movie is not for the slow, romantic movie watching person. The movie was fast paced and FULL of action. I thought this was better then the 1st one.

Mission: Impossible II [DVD] [Canadian]

This movie is worth watching for its extreme cheesiness and hilarious action moves alone. The show is one unbelievable scene after the next, with lots of really bad dialogue, terrible acting, and ridiculous action moves. Tom Cruise is constantly rolling over and over on the ground in an attempt to escape the bad guys and, so it appears, just for fun. There is only one woman in the entire movie,...
