This is a video clip shot during the shooting of Mission: Impossible III that shows Tom Cruise lying prone on a street and waiting for a big truck to start hitting the brakes and then jacknife and then roll right over him...and then it actually happens and it's quite cool. Damn thrilling, in fact. In fact, it's more exciting than when the sequence happens in the film. The difference is that I totally believe the video -- it's obviously "real world" and un-tricked -- and I don't really believe anything I see in a super-expensive action film of this sort. I don't trust my eyes, I mean, to the extent that I'm presuming that a good portion of what I'm seeing during any big stunt sequence is digitally composed or has in some way originated on someone's hard drive.
