Mission: Impossible 2 director John Woo recalls Tom Cruise's emotional pleas to be allowed to film one especially dangerous stunt. Released in 2000, the second film in the long-running action franchise sees Cruise return as Ethan Hunt to face off against a rogue IMF agent in possession of a deadly virus. The film, which was met with mixed reviews, features a handful of impressive stunt sequences, including one at the very start when Hunt is seen scaling the side of a cliff and jumping from one handhold to another.
