Also in “Mission: Impossible II”

Also in “Mission: Impossible II”, Tom Cruise insisted that a real knife be used in the confrontation scene with Dougray Scott. In addition, the actor also reinforced that he wanted the blade to stop less than 1 cm from his eye. The knife was controlled by a cable carefully measured to the millimeter to obtain the desired effect and Cruise even told his co-star to use all his strength when filming the fight.
