Line 12:
*** The sequence is so [[Rule of Cool]] that even [[Roger Ebert]] admits in his review that even though there's no plausible way a chopper could fit inside the Chunnel and have room to maneuver, it looks so damn awesome that you simply let it go.
* The Vatican Heist in the third movie. The team infiltrates the Vatican, slips past security, gains access to underground tunnels under the building, photographs the bad guy, creates a mask that is a perfect replica of his face, captures him and lets a disguised Ethan take his place after which they fake his death by blowing up a car, so that his entire entourage thinks he's dead. Wow.
* In "Ghost Protocol", Ethan climbs the highest building in the world, courtesy of sticky techno gloves, only for the devices to crap out on him when he makes it to the server room. How does he get back down? He pulls a [[Die Hard (Film)|John McClane]] by wrapping a cable around his waist and jumping out the window, proceeding to [[Holy Shit Quotient|RUN STRAIGHT DOWN THE SIDE OF THE BUILDING]], accompanied by Giacchino's awesome rendition of the M:I theme. It's a helluva [[Theme Music Power
* Perhaps the best evidence of Hunt's unbelievable ball size would be the final fight sequence of Ghost Protocol, which peaks with the bad guy jumping six stories to his death simply to deny Ethan the [[MacGuffin]], and Ethan '''''driving a car off a ledge after him,''''' hoping the air bag will blunt the damage enough for him to remain able to crawl upon landing. {{spoiler|[[Crazy Enough to Work|It works...]] After crashing, he is able to drag himself over to the [[MacGuffin]] with his arms.}}
* In Ghost Protocol, Benji proving that he's more than just the computer guy or the plucky comic relief when he kills the man who is trying to kill Brandt-with a look that is All Business.
