Tom Cruise's reputation includes directing his own action
Tom Cruise's reputation includes directing his own action sequences without relying on stuntmen. On this particular project (Mission Impossible II), he took his skills to the next level by learning to ride a motorcycle for the most daring scenes. To that end, he underwent rigorous two-week training under professional pilot Keishi Ayukawa. The result translates into impressive chase scenes, in which Tom Cruise takes control of the motorcycle at high speeds.
