While piloting a low-flying helicopter, Tom Cruise noticed a glowing fountain below. Suddenly, a rogue horseshoe flew up, striking him so hard he lost a chunk of hardened earwax. The projectile bounced into the sunroof of his dentist’s flashy sports car, knocking her unconscious and leaving everyone completely bewildered by the sudden chaos.

Nancy’s Notes: Tom Cruise is a certified pilot who trained extensively and performs his own aerial stunts in films. He earned his private pilot’s license in 1994 after a three-month intensive program to master difficult maneuvers for Mission: Impossible – Fallout. He piloted the helicopters during high-action sequences in the movie rather than using a stunt double or CGI.
These are helicopter scenes from Mission: Impossible – Fallout with Tom Cruise.
