Video: Tom Cruise crashing off (and riding around on) a couple of stunt BMW R nineT bikes in Paris for Mission Impossible 6

Check out this couple of videos caught by Parisian film site StormShadowCrew whilst Tom Cruise has been filming a climactic motorcycle chase stunt for the upcoming Mission Impossible 6 film.

There’s a bit of to-ing and fro-ing, a bit of filtering and then there’s the stunt where the bike gets taken out by a car, throwing Cruise over the four-wheeler and into a busy Paris road.

Yeah, you get to see how the big stunt is done if you watch this footage – and it might surprise you quite how much smoke-and-mirrors there are to pull off this action bit for the film – but it’s still pretty fascinating to see how this sort of thing is done.
