In special footage shown at CinemaCon on Thursday, Cruise, 59, and the stunt team for the movie previewed a wild stunt in which Cruise himself drives a motorbike off a cliff. The sequence revolves around Cruise as he rides "off of a massive ramp on an also massive cliff, fly off the bike, and parachute to the ground," according to Entertainment Weekly. "By far the most dangerous stunt we've ever done," writer-director Christopher McQuarrie said in the clip, via EW. The footage also reveals the stunt took 500 hours of skydiving training and 13,000 motorbike jumps to get it just right. The clip then ends with Cruise performing the stunt himself, with a crew member saying, "Tom Cruise rode a motorcycle off a cliff six times today."
