I grew up watching Hal Needham films, I will take real stunts over CGI every time. Tom is an inspiration.
The lack of doors is very curious too: they don't look like they've been ripped off during the chase. I wonder if they're doing some complex camera move into the car or something.
That's most likely it; even the "practical" stunts of the MI films still require a lot of CGI. Not to mention that they likely want an easy way for Tom and co. to exit the vehicle if something goes wrong.
The man is just simply awesome! ^:)^

Must be so weird driving a car from in front of the front wheels.
Seriously looks as though Mission is mining the Roger Moore era with this one. They even had Tom jumping on gondolas. I think Indiana Jones did something similar as well.
Also, I think this new film will have the worst haircut for him in the series. He now officially looks his age.
The Light The Fuse podcast guys are mildly obsessed with Tom's hair and jokily ask each guest which film's hair they prefer, but they asked McQuarrie about it and he although he got the joke he did also point out that the hair length weirdly is all based on Tom's condition, fitness level and sort of bodyweight when it comes to each film- as you'd imagine on a film this size a lot of time is spent on stuff like this and they do quite a bit of experimentation!
:)
One fun thing is that the opening of MI2, where we first meet Tom on a plane meeting the virus scientist but it turns out to be Dougray Scott's character disguised as Tom, the idea was that not-Tom would have his short haircut from the first movie and then we'd meet the real Tom with his longer mane. Nice idea, but schedules made it impossible.
What I do find quite interesting about that Venice photo is that Tom definitely has eyebags: I was watching Ghost Protocol recently I think and was amazed in the closeups that he has no eyebags at all- which is kind of impossible, isn't it? So I want to see if they do any digital facelifting on him when this film comes out!
:)
But Fallout is the best looking Mission film due to Rob Hardy and the costume designer's work. Cruise looks better being a little more world wearier and weathered. He still looks youthful.
But I think the years have caught up with Tom in the new mission. Perhaps once we see it combined with the photography of the film, it'll make more sense. Though it's wild that he would have finished 8 of these films. My ranking is
while this is off topic slightly this post made me remeber how annoying it is that in the Reboot Lucas till only had the right hair style 2 out of now 5 seasons I hat how half the time Mac has short hair similar to Bond or Hunt it's like 007 having a mullet or something short hair on macgyver annoys me!
Pierce Brosnan in 1993, when he was 40.
If you whant you can say Cruise have 4-5 movies in him after Mi4 as lead. 2012-2021 is same as Brosnan 1993-2002. If he make a 9th for 2024 it wil be same as Brosnan have done fifth in 2005. I say lead, because even after Mi8 or Mi9 Cruise can play M or Charlie (Angels) chacter or something Baldwin did. Or even a suprise act with a mask thing in Mi13 for example. The new lead after Mi8 or Mi9 can be woman (Ferguson for example)) or even Renner can return.
