Think I saw a clip of that, too. He was quite "intense", if I remember correctly.

Injuries and returned for filming.
Upper lip from TND I think.

Any idea during what sequence that happened?
I did that too at first, though I must say that has changed a lot in more recent times.
Flip those two and our lists agree. ;-)
What scene in the movie did that happen?
I'm in the small minority that feels this way, too. II is definitely one of my favorites in the series; though I suppose that doesn't mean much, nearly all of them are great.

Little too early.
The first two imho are very much precursors to the 'arty' Craig era. They were both films ahead in my view. The last two in contrast have been very much 'old school' Bond to my eyes. 3 is a bit pedestrian in direction for me (a bit TWINE) but is also the most P&W (if that makes any sense).

Good point, was merely spitballing but that's a real good point. Could've been a nasty fall, then.
I used to find myself on another forum dealing with people who just wanted to talk smack about the guy just because they didn't like him but never gave any real reasons other than he sucks or he jumps on couches. The work speaks for itself, which is why I own so many of his films, they entertain me.
Somebody earlier in the thread questioned why it took 4 years for MI:II to be made after the first was a blockbuster. Cruise was incredibly busy making Jerry Maguire right after MI, then spent almost 2 years with Kubrick on Eyes Wide Shut and then on Magnolia for PT Anderson. It was just a matter of time.
Also along the lines of Cruise as Napoleon Solo, I have a tabloid story from back in 1991 or so when there were rumors of a Saint movie that had Cruise as one of the candidates for that part long before Val Kilmer got the call. Of course, being a tabloid the focus was on Cruise's height as opposed to Roger Moore, who was like 6-2.
Quite right. After Broz explodes the case and lodges the diamonds into Zao's face, the scene called for him to do a run and duck under fire. He does a jump on to the moving hovercraft which then starts the chase. It wasn't properly rehearsed and Broz wasn't warmed up enough so it didn't go well for him. He hurt his knee quite badly.
Halle Berry was hurt a couple of times during DAD as well, if I recall correctly?
Cruise would have been better than Kilmer.
Those with real staying power always overcome the temporary setbacks and get a second wind. Cruise is currently having one of those now, and more power to him as far as I'm concerned.
