(Traitor Alert) In a different world, in scenes that never made it to the theatrical release, Ethan and Jim Phelps' "widow" Claire had a romantic interlude in the aftermath of the Prague massacre. But even though Krieger would prove to be rotten, and the actual murderer of Agent Davies, he still helped Ethan pull off the Impossible when they raided the Langley vault. To be fair, Ethan had to recruit from the "disavowed" list and Jean Reno's Krieger was shady as hell. But he was never more betrayed, and beset on all sides by hidden villains, than he was in the first movie when his "backup team" was still comprised of two agents secretly working for Jim Phelps. ( Traitor Alert) Ethan being framed and turned into a fugitive is a franchise hallmark, as is Ethan being surrounded by double agents. Phelps was Hunt's mentor but this former hero had become so disillusioned and bitter that he never thought twice about framing Ethan for multiple traitorous homicides. In a mildly controversial move at the time, Phelps was killed off in Mission: Impossible during his team's mission in Prague (as the film passed the torch to Ethan) - only to then be revealed as the villain behind the murder of his own team members, having faked his own death. (Traitor Alert) The character of Jim Phelps, who was the Ethan Hunt-style hero/lead of both Mission: Impossible TV series, was played by Jon Voight in the first movie (and Peter Graves on TV). Also, Hanaway's untimely demise helped send Carter on a mission of revenge - as he was also her romantic partner (pointing out the dangers being an IMF agent poses to loved ones in a movie that would eventually reveal Ethan's wife was now living with a new identity). Technically part of Agent Jane Carter's team, and not Ethan's, Hanaway's death at the hands of Léa Seydoux's assassin, Sabine, made for a terrific opening scene and kicked off the main plot involving nuclear launch codes.

Despite all that, however, Billy just never popped the way the rest of Ethan's crew did, past or future. save Nyah (who was about to take her own life). Billy helped Ethan locate the movie's villain, track Nyah, infiltrate Biocyte Pharmaceuticals, and. Billy BairdĪussie pilot Billy wasn't the only character who never returned from Mission: Impossible 2 - see: Anthony Hopkins' Swanbeck and Thandiwe Newton's Nyah - but he was the most forgettable of the bunch, and the past ally of Ethan's who left the smallest impression (despite also appearing in the video game Mission: Impossible - Operation Surma). Here are the Top 20 Ethan Hunt Mission: Impossible teammates, ranked from useful to crucial to the MVP elite. Sometimes mentors, occasionally pupils, they've all been instrumental on Ethan's journey as an expert, down-to-the-wire mission impossibler. And in honor of the reckoning that's on the horizon, we've looked back over the last (near) 30 years and ranked his teammates - yes, even the dastardly ones who were big fat fakers.įrom hackers and anaylists to master thieves and competing operatives, Ethan's allies have come from all corners of the clandestine spy world. It’s good to be Bruce Wayne.Cruise's world-saving Impossible Mission Force agent Ethan Hunt has worked with the best while also going up against the best (and sometimes those are one and the same) during his decades of stopping terrorists, arms dealers, and psychos looking to annihilate humanity just for the philosophical hell of it. The fact that the wheels could rotate laterally and the bike could actually elongate were features we probably won’t see on a real motorcycle anytime soon. The long wheelbase and interminably wide wheels gave the Bat-Pod a truly unique military look that was worthy of the Dark Knight. This custom made monster was supposedly impossible to ride, but Christopher Nolan and his team made it happen with some expert stunt riding. Now that would've made Jason Bourne even more impressive. We just would like to have seen more of Bourne’s moto skills on longer chase scenes. Not only is he able to hot wire a bike, but he also jumps the small 4RT like he’s its bidding master and manages to hop a wall like he’s taking candy from a kid. Count on Jason Bourne to take everyday things and do amazing things with them, including motorcycles.
