Mission: Impossible - Fallout

The HALO skydiving sequence (distance of 7 km / 25000 feet, traveling speed of 265 - 320 km/h) was the last sequence filmed during production, but it was the first stunt designed and required a full year of planning out. The crew had only a limited time window of three minutes a day during sunset to film a jump. Because of strict air aviation regulations in France, it could only be shot in the Emirates. It took Tom Cruise, Henry Cavill, the skydiving camera operator Craig O'Brien (who was instructed to keep a distance of three feet from Cruise while filming) and others involved a total of 106 jumps to get three possible takes. However, to rehearse the sequence, the crew built a custom oxygen helmet with RAF assistance that can be lit up to see a face, and then also built one of the world's largest wind tunnels for practice. The practice doesn't end there - Cruise and the other persons involved did five skydives a day with one in the morning, three in the afternoon, and one at dusk. Some of the other cast members turned up to visit, with Simon Pegg saying that he and his co-stars thought multiple times that Cruise was seriously about to die: "It is a daily stress going to work with him, because you don't know if you are going to see him tomorrow."

Plutonium is very heavy, with almost 18% more mass than lead, so assuming each ball of plutonium is four inches in diameter, then each ball would contain about 25 pounds worth of plutonium. In order to contain its high energy gamma radiation the "ball" the plutonium is stored inside is typically made from iridium, iridium is one of the densest elements having twice the mass and density of lead, so the hollow ball the plutonium is stored in would weigh at least as much as the plutonium itself (if not more), making the entire thing weigh at least 50 pounds. Given that weight, it would be difficult to pick up one ball as easily as shown, or for the henchman to so easily move the suitcase holding all three balls.

The opening credits sequence showed various scenes that foreshadowed the movie.

In India, the film has been certified UA (12+) by the Indian Censor Board with references to Kashmir being chopped off, resulting in some abrupt edits.
