The Weekly Planet - Mission Impossible 2 - Caravan Of Garbage

Episode Date: September 24, 2020

Mission Impossible 2 is such a bizarre follow up to the first entry. Sure it has a lot of the series staples including masks, espionage and Tom Cruise but the John Woo centric action and wonderful Tom... Cruise hairstyle makes it the black sheet of the family. I mean it has some redeeming qualities sure, but it''s mostly...not good.

Starting point is 00:00:55 This podcast is part of the Planet Broadcasting Network. Visit planetbroadcasting.com for more podcasts from our great mates. We're back for our Mission Impossible, what are we calling it again? Ah, the Mopotha Palooza. Yes. The Cruise-a-thon? Cruise Control. Cruising for a bruising, Tom Cruise is going to kick you with a weird kick. You cruise, you lose. That's good.
Starting point is 00:01:13 And by you cruise, I mean you don't leave a like. So leave a like and you don't lose. Please, if you could. Now, this series is obviously called Caravan of Garbage. People know that from the title of this video. And often we're like, it doesn't mean anything. It's just the name that we got stuck with. This week, I think it's very apt.
Starting point is 00:01:30 What are you saying, James? I'm saying this is easily the worst Mission Impossible movie, and a lot of it is just garbage. What are we talking about? Oh, we're doing Mission Impossible 2. Down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down. See, what I've done there yes i've taken the mission impossible theme but i've given it a little twist because this ain't your grandpappy's mission
Starting point is 00:01:50 impossible it certainly isn't impossible too directed by woo john woo they brought him on board because tom cruise wanted that john woo flavor and we sort of get it well that's the thing because i mean for people who are aware of john woo he did like some amazing hong kong action movies he did the killer Hong Kong action movies. He did The Killer. He did A Better Tomorrow. He did Hard Boiled. And then he came to America.
Starting point is 00:02:10 He sort of pioneered in the West this kind of genre of Hong Kong, gun-fu, operatic, cinematic. Hard target, face-off. Broken Arrow. He did those ones. Broken Arrow. And he sort of brought this idea of just, just this like balletic gunplay, like two gun action.
Starting point is 00:02:29 It's just brutal. And you just empty a whole clip into the bad guy kind of thing. Max Payne. Yeah, like this idea. And it influenced like a whole genre of other, it influenced a whole generation of other filmmakers. The Matrix is sort of based heavily on this idea.
Starting point is 00:02:44 And that spawned a million imitators and you know again the oh he did paycheck sorry go on well see that's the thing like at a certain point like he did face off which is you know you know people find it fun in a kind of cheesy way but by this point all his rough edges have kind of been yeah sanded off upon watching this this movie begins with a kind of like you know your classic mission impossible espionage masks movie begins with a kind of like, you know, your classic Mission Impossible espionage masks are being taken off kind of vibe. Sure. But it also begins with a totally silent neck snap.
Starting point is 00:03:13 Yes, it does. It's almost an off-screen neck snap. And I'm watching this at the cinema. I'm like, oh no, something's gone wrong here. Like something is kind of... Because you thought Ethan Hunt had gone rogue. Well, I did think that. Which he does in every movie except this one actually but but yeah he does go rogue eventually
Starting point is 00:03:28 he takes his earpiece out one hour 45 minutes goes rogue takes the earpiece i wasn't sure whether it was actually him going rogue or he was actually like no this isn't really working very well because like i don't actually i couldn't tell whether he's still out or whether he went rogue in this movie let us know if you think he went rogue. But yeah, this movie, it doesn't hold up. And you even see from the start the CGI plane, the fashion choices like the sunglasses. The beautiful CGI title sequence.
Starting point is 00:03:54 Oh, exactly. I know you've got things to say about the cars because it's a very Aussie movie. Yeah. I mean, you get your shots of the Sydney Opera House and kangaroos and the outback and shit. Yeah, Sydney. Yeah, Sydney. Yeah, Sydney!
Starting point is 00:04:05 Not something I'd ever thought I'd say, but there it is. Yeah, this movie, it's got all the elements of John Woo's style, but it's not quite right. It's got two-gun action and people slowly walking through flames. Birds and doves and stuff. Birds and doves, exactly, but none of it quite works, and I don't know why. No, because it's got sort of kung fu, sort of, I guess.
Starting point is 00:04:27 Well, I was going to say, who is this Ethan Hunt? Like, if you just watch the first one, and you go to this one, he's shooting, he's spinning, he's somersault kicking. Like, he won't just duck for cover when he can do a little twirl and then duck for cover. He's a different guy in this. He does a commando roll towards a little grate in the floor at one point I don't know if you remember that
Starting point is 00:04:47 Yeah, I do remember that And some of the kicks he does Look, Tom Cruise is amazing at what he does But he's not a martial artist I'm sure we're going to refer to this particular scene every week We're going to eat our words when he hears this And immediately becomes the world's greatest martial artist So thanks for that, but continue
Starting point is 00:05:02 But his style of combat is more suited to the bathroom scene from the last Mission Impossible movie. You know, it's breaking tiles and faces. But when you're getting him to do like a two-foot jump kick and a spinning roundhouse handstand, it's ridiculous. They should call this movie Kickin' Impossible, Mason. Nice. That's good stuff.
Starting point is 00:05:21 That's actually for the extended audio. Did you ever see the Ben Stiller behind the scenes thing? Oh, that's right. I stole that from Ben Stiller. Oh, my God. Well, I'm going to call it Hair Flippin' Impossible. Because every somersault kick just comes with a beautiful swoosh of hair. We'll talk about hair later.
Starting point is 00:05:35 We'll talk about hair at the end. And also, of course, every week I am going to be attempting to replicate something from each movie. Somersault kick? Definitely not. I'm not going to spoil it here. You've got a trampoline out there. What are you doing? I've got something even better.
Starting point is 00:05:48 People are going to love it, trust me, if I do it, because maybe I'll edit this out. I'm excited for it. Yeah, absolutely. So it does have this distinct Aussie flavour. It's got Powderfinger, a famous Australian band, did a song on the album. At one point, Tandy Newton goes to the horse races
Starting point is 00:06:03 and puts a crisp pineapple on the horse naturally vein. It's good to see some Australian hard currency in these movies. Our ridiculous, stupid plastic money. Hey, you can swim with it, and that's why they did it this way. John Paulson as Billy Bard. He is the founder of Tropfest. Is he? Australia's largest, and maybe the world's largest, short film festival.
Starting point is 00:06:23 There you go. Apparently that role was originally going to be taken by Steve Zahn, but he had to pull out at the last minute. Not Aussie enough? Probably. He had to do Sahara in five years from this. That's exactly right. He would have been a good choice, yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:35 I mean, the soundtrack, okay, speaking of, you mentioned up top. I'm not against the guitar riffing in the Limp Bizkit cover. Lyrically, it's the worst song ever made. You know? I get it. I think there's the classic Mission Impossible theme in a rock and guitar riff. I think it absolutely works.
Starting point is 00:06:55 But there is a reason that none of the lyrics actually make it into the actual film. Exactly, yeah. There are only the end credits. Yeah, but that... Remember Rap Rock? Those are Wes ball and guitar licks oh my goodness very impressive yeah now you mentioned it out was john woo with the edges
Starting point is 00:07:10 sanded off and i might actually have an explanation for that because his original cut for this was three and a half hours oh my god i know and it had to be cut down to about two and tom cruise apparently and this is all like hearsay and imDB trivia, locked him out of the editing room. Tom Cruise locked him out? Wait. Well, he would have had more creative control because he's choosing who's on it. And he's the producer, yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:32 I think Tom Cruise saw the action of face-off genuinely. I think he only saw face-off and went, faces, masks, kicks, doves. Yeah, all right, this is the guy. This is the guy. I think that's the train of thought here. Right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:44 And you think Tom Cruise kind of sanitized it a bit? this is the guy this is the guy I think that's that's the train of thought here right yeah there's also a few and you think Tom Cruise like kind of sanitized it a bit I don't know there doesn't necessarily need to be like all the other Mission Impossible movies
Starting point is 00:07:53 prove that these movies don't need like excess blood and gore no and all that sort of stuff you can have a silent neck snap but I think
Starting point is 00:08:00 like a swift wind but I don't think I think the essential element of a John Woo movie yeah is just it's really just visceral yeah and there's no holding back in the action and i think putting him at the helm of this movie and then asking him to cut out all the exciting stuff yes is probably its downfall and it just looks it looks less like visceral action and more like attempted cool posing yeah totally right totally. I mean, because speaking of, if you look at like the rock climbing, for example,
Starting point is 00:08:28 first of all, Tom Cruise did all of that himself. He was taught how to do it. They got stunt guys, but he did it. He was cabled up, but he did that 15 foot jump like multiple times. But that's the only scene that really stands out for me because there's a cable drop that looks worse than the previous movie.
Starting point is 00:08:42 That's right, yeah. There's a side-by-side car chase, which is reminiscent of Goldeneye, really, where they're just chatting casually to each other over revving engines going 90. I mean, we often accuse the James Bond series of aping more successful action movies, but I feel like this movie especially
Starting point is 00:09:00 has sort of done that as well. It's kind of like aped better stuff, like The Matrix came out the year before, and I think there's elements of that that are just sort of done that as well. It's kind of like aped better stuff. Like The Matrix came out the year before, and I think there's elements of that that are just sort of shoehorned in. Did you like it when the two cars were wedged together and they were spinning in a circle and they were staring into each other's eyes?
Starting point is 00:09:14 Yes. The fuck was that? I don't know. This is also... He nearly killed her, by the way. Oh, yeah. Tandy Newton got a real rough deal on this movie. In general, yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:23 There's been a very recent interview with her because she's in Westworld and a bunch of other TV series and movies and things. But yeah, this was a very intense experience for her, apparently. Well, there's even lines like Anthony Hopkins, who I want to get back to, where they make her go undercover and he's like, she's deceptive and she doesn't need any spy trading
Starting point is 00:09:39 because she's a woman and this is what women, this is what they naturally lie. But she's mentioned, yeah, that it was like a stress-induced nightmare. And Tom Cruise was like friendly but super intense and she was under a lot of pressure and she was quite young at the time. And she's even said since then, like she doesn't blame him in particular. It was a very just – It was a very Tom Cruise kind of situation to be in an early in your career.
Starting point is 00:10:03 Yeah, absolutely. That's exactly it, yeah. So Anthony Hopkins, he's in this, he doesn't turn bad or die, and then we never see him again in another movie. Isn't he in three? No. Huh. It's a strange inclusion.
Starting point is 00:10:15 Yeah. And it's not even really clear that he's in IMF, really. Or where he's from. Yeah. Because at some point I'm like, is he doing an American accent? No, no. Wait, did I mishear that? Oh, side note, Australia's own Richard Roxburgh.
Starting point is 00:10:28 It was 45 minutes in before I realized he's supposed to be South African. He's supposed to be South African, yes. So this is interesting. I found this super fascinating. Ian McKellen turned down the Anthony Hopkins role. And this shoot actually ran long because of rainfall. And if he did take on this role, even though it was only like a five-day shoot, he would have missed out on both Lord of the Rings and X-Men.
Starting point is 00:10:49 Speaking of... You have another piece of trivia there. I'm going to tell you what it is, James. I would love to hear it. Speaking of X-Men trivia, Dougray Scott... The anti-Ethan Hunt. That's right, reverse Ethan Hunt. It's a team, but they're the opposite team.
Starting point is 00:11:01 What's he going to do? Get a team together to fight the teams can fight. He turned down the role of Wolverine, right? To be in this. Well, he had, not initially, but this ran long. He got injured in a motorcycle chase. They kept kind of delaying it
Starting point is 00:11:14 and pushing back and being like, no, he'll be ready or whatever. And then the X-Men producers had to go, we just, we need to recast. And that's obviously the role that Hugh Jackman was shot into stardom. Absolutely. I mean, you know, he might still be doing paperback hero sequels at this point,
Starting point is 00:11:28 if not for... I feel like Hugh Jackman's the kind of actor that probably would have made it regardless. Oh, absolutely. No, he's, yeah. But I'm not sure... I'm saying the paperback hero franchise would have been the biggest franchise in the world.
Starting point is 00:11:38 I'm just saying. He would have just... I wish we were doing those every week. Right? Yeah. He writes a different romance novel every... Yep, that's right. Whatever, yeah. He writes a different romance novel every... Yeah, that's right. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:46 But I think Hugh Jackman would have survived, but Dougray Scott's career is obviously not taken off in the same way. And who knows, if he was Wolverine, who knows what would have happened. Maybe he would have been like, eh, he's fine. We don't know. Maybe he would have crushed it and he would have... Maybe it would have been him in the movie Australia. Maybe he would have been the greatest showman.
Starting point is 00:12:03 Oh, my God. Maybe he's hosting the Oscars with Anne Hathawayathaway man maybe he's saying the musical is back when the musical was maybe probably not back it's never it's never gone but it's never quite back that's right it's like a low hum you know what i mean in the background yeah yeah sometimes i can hear the people sing uh knife in the eye that's a pretty good stunt remember that's a real that's that was involved that's some sort of waste system. That's right. It's attached to a cable with Dougray Scott pressing down as hard as he can.
Starting point is 00:12:30 And it's like measured out to stop just in front of his retina. If that's the front of your eye. Iris, I don't know a lot about eyes. Retina's at the back. It was going to stop just before his retina. Oh, boy. My understanding of stunt stuff, and I think I saw this on The Corridor.

Starting point is 00:13:37 Register today at sunrisechallenge.ca. That's sunrisechallenge.ca. If you've got a knife, right, and you're pretending to press it down onto somebody, That's sunrisechallenge.ca. So it's strange to me that they didn't do that as opposed to it being on a cable and just dropping it down. You could have done that in reverse. You know what I mean? There's a number of ways you could do it without... They chose to go, hey, do great, Scott. This knife is going to plunge directly into Tom Cruise's eye
Starting point is 00:14:16 unless you pull back with all your muscles. Yeah. I know you've mentioned this before on our podcast, The Weekly Planet, which is a podcast that we do, Mason. That's right. There's a digital camera in this the size of a brick. Oh, my God. Is there?
Starting point is 00:14:31 What's fascinating about that inclusion is in the previous movie, they're all wearing glasses with miniature cameras in it. That's right. And they're hidden and they're super HD. Exactly. And they can transmit across. But that was the magic technology of, like, movie espionage. Yeah. And we had nothing at all similar to that. and they can transmit across. But that was the magic technology of like movie espionage. And we had nothing at all similar to that.
Starting point is 00:14:51 But all of a sudden in like the late 90s, the year 2000, all of a sudden we get actual digital cameras and they're like, my God, we have to showcase this in a movie somehow. It's ridiculous. Also, it's Mask City, mate. It's too much. And I know they take it a little bit further in terms of the voice modulator, but there's things in this that it's too far,
Starting point is 00:15:12 and they pull back on later movies, and there's more explanation behind the printing of them and things like that. But it's just everybody and anybody at all points in time, and it doesn't look quite as good a lot of the time. There's one where Tom Cruise is running, and he pulls it off. Oh pulls it off oh yeah yeah which and some of them look better than that at one point tandy newton uh reveals her secret relationship with ethan hunt yes to what she believes is ethan hunt and then it turns out it's it's evil ethan hunt yeah but that shouldn't have happened in a world where masks are so commonplace ethan hunt should have absolutely said to her i'm going to send you undercover fyi everybody's going to be a bad guy with a me mask on that's
Starting point is 00:15:50 right don't reveal anything exactly if you suspect it might not be me tug at the edges of my shirt collar until my face comes off or kiss it even if it is me just keep tugging at my face until it comes off if you kiss that mask you're knowing it's a mask, right? You'd hope so, yeah. What are they, heated? They go over the lips? I guess they do, right? I guess they're heated by Tom Cruise's passion for movie making and stunts. No doubt.
Starting point is 00:16:13 Yeah, so you'd never know. To be fair, I... If anything, that mask would be too hot. But I don't mind the one reveal of when he swaps himself out for Richard Roxburgh and he's taped up his mouth. That's a good reveal, yeah. I think you do that one and maybe the one at the start. You have to do a setup and then like an enforcement and then a reveal.
Starting point is 00:16:30 But to do one every couple of scenes is too much. It's too much, mate. Leave it, use it sparingly so it makes the most impact. Like do Grace Scott wearing a full denim suit. And then it's impactful. That's the one thing I remember from watching this movie in the cinema. I'm like, wow. Everything he's wearing is made of denim. The shirt's
Starting point is 00:16:48 denim, the jacket's denim, the tie's denim. Good on him. That must be hot in Sydney in the summer. I'd imagine it would be. Especially around bloody racing time, am I right? If it's racing season. You're hitting up November at that point, aren't you? That's right. Australia's reversed, the summer and winter. Don't even worry about it if you're in the other hemisphere.
Starting point is 00:17:04 Before I talk about the evolution of Ethan Hunt hunt's hair of course the most important part of this episode is there anything you want to add yes okay boy is there well again a thing that didn't i didn't think about when i watched this in the cinemas but in re-watching it as an adult there's a car chase sequence and my god is it suburban aust. Like these days, if you watch like a multi-million dollar action spectacular, there's a car chase, the good guys being pursued by all the bad guys. The bad guys motorcade is guaranteed to be a line of identical, all black, brand new Audi SUVs. Just loaded with men with machine guns.
Starting point is 00:17:44 And maybe some like- There's eight men to a car. Exactly. And then maybe like some brand new motorcycles with people wielding katanas or whatever. But in the year 2000, in suburban and out of suburban and slightly regional New South Wales, clearly they couldn't acquire the brand new motors that they needed. And so what this is, is it's just a car chase where Ethan Hunt on his motorcycle is being pursued by men driving all your friends' first secondhand cars in the 90s. Just like the first car your mate got and went, this is a pretty cool car, right? And you're like, yeah, mate, yeah, pretty good.
Starting point is 00:18:27 I'm pretty sure they acquired all these cars by just going to a McDonald's parking lot like after midnight with just all these dudes milling around. It was like, hey, anybody want to sell this to your car? We'll give you 500 bucks for it. They're like, all right. It's just Tom Cruise just absolutely machine gunning the fuel tank of a Holden Commodore. It's just Tom Cruise just absolutely machine gunning the fuel tank of a Holden Commodore.
Starting point is 00:18:51 There's just Ford Falcons, just Ford Escorts, the Holden Vectra. At one point, the bad guys are driving a Nissan Patrol. That's more your dad's car. Sure, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. But my God, it's just, it's so quaint. Yeah. And beautiful. It really is.
Starting point is 00:19:06 It really captures their period in time, doesn't it? Just whatever cars they picked up at the impound lot that nobody picked up themselves. They're like, I can't be bothered. Two of the tyres are bald, but it's not on the same side. You know what I mean? We don't know how it happened. Doing a particular doughy maybe in a car park. Some of the cars have that weird salt spattering on the roof.
Starting point is 00:19:25 They haven't been polished in a long time. Yeah, absolutely, yeah. What an era. What an era of filmmaking. I don't think I've seen anything like it before or since. Maybe the movie Two Hands? Maybe, yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:36 But that's meant to be set in low-class suburban Sydney. That's not set in a world of high high class espionage and millionaires and millionaire mansions you know what i mean if you're dropping pineapple has a painting with a dinghy on it high class if you're dropping pineapples at the races you should shell out for some better cars absolutely okay so the evolution of ethan hud's hair we're here we're here again he's more loosey goosey in this movie and i think it's because he's moved further and further away from his military past. He's clearly been doing some training,
Starting point is 00:20:10 and he's clearly kind of more kind of relaxed into his role, and his hair reflects that. I think you're right, and I think maybe, you know, again, he swore he'd never come back to the IMF in the last one. Did he? Yeah, kind of. He's like, I'm not coming back. And Bing Rhames is like, you sure? And he's like, definitely, never again. And then the sequel, kind of. He's like, I'm not coming back. And Bing Rhames is like, you sure?
Starting point is 00:20:25 And he's like, definitely, never again. And then the sequel. And he's like, no, I'm definitely not. But at the end, on the plane, and they're like, look at this tape. Oh, my God, he did, didn't he? But anyway, I think they've offered him a sweet deal to come back. I think he couldn't resist. But also, it's like, you know what?
Starting point is 00:20:39 He's going. He spent a few years doing deep cover IMF stuff. And he's like, well, a deep cover dude needs a deep cover haircut. You know it, yeah. Yeah, that's right. Absolutely. What's also strange about that is when they find him on top of that mountain, they're like, tell us where you are when you go on holidays.
Starting point is 00:20:54 But then Anthony Hopkins is like, you're on holidays, that's okay. I'm confused as to, is he supposed to say where he is? What you're saying is that the IMF annual leave policy is not as clear cut as it should be. Exactly. I'm sure it's written somewhere. They've jotted it down in ink. There needs to be a refresher weekend so everybody's on the same page.
Starting point is 00:21:12 Exactly. They probably don't even tell him how many days of accrued leave he has on his payslip. Accrued leave? Oh. That's right. Very good. Yeah. So anyway, here's some facts for trivia that you'll love. It's called Trivia Facts That You'll Love.
Starting point is 00:21:25 You'll love it. We do it every week. Nice. This was, and this blew my mind, the biggest movie of 2000 monetarily in the world. My goodness. It beat Gladiator. It beat Shaft 2000. Can you believe that?
Starting point is 00:21:39 I can kind of believe that. The number 38 movie of the year, Shaft 2000, it came ahead of. I mean, this is a big franchise, but I didn't realise it was this big that long ago. Yeah, fascinating to me. Also, each director in this franchise has been asked to return for the sequel. They saw what Brad Bird did and they went, oh my God, Brad Bird, we love what you're doing.
Starting point is 00:21:58 Come back. And he's like, I can't, I'm Brad Bird. And I went, we don't know what that means, but we understand. I'm doing Brad Bird things. Leave me alone. Yeah, that's it. I'm like, all right. Yeah, but, you know, you're Brian De Palma's, you're J.J. Abrams, but they didn't ask John Woo to come back.
Starting point is 00:22:11 Oh, boy. Yeah. So there you go. Yeah. Also, and this is very interesting to me. You know what? He's got a great legacy, though. Go back and watch The Killer.
Starting point is 00:22:20 Oh, absolutely. It's a supremo movie. That cannot be denied. Can they skip over Paycheck? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. I didn It's a primo movie. That cannot be denied. Can they skip over Paycheck? Yeah. Okay. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:27 Yeah. I didn't think about Paycheck. I thought about it. Oh, it's too late for you then. The song I Disappear by Metallica that's on the soundtrack for this movie, I think it's a good song. It is. Lars has talked about how he met up with Tom Cruise and they had a very intense discussion about music
Starting point is 00:22:39 and what it means and all those kinds of, you know, what are those discussions you'd have with Tom Cruise? And he got to see an early unfinished version of the movie to kind of write a song.
