Which mission impossible was filmed in prague

Visiting filming locations and other movie adventures with Jarno Mahlberg. Some of these locations have been covered elsewhere, but all represent my own research and view.

Enjoy, comment and follow. Based on the television series of the same name, the plot follows Ethan Hunt Cruise and his mission to uncover the mole who has framed him for the murders of his entire IMF team. The part where Jim Phelps hits the water was performed by a stuntman from Charles Bridge. The third of the Mission Impossible Prague filming locations on Charles Bridge sees Ethan skidding to a halt and looking down at the car when it explodes.

The city had plans to redevelop the Na Kampe square, replace the tarmac road with cobble stones and replace all the trees so the Mission Impossible Prague crew basically had licence to make a lot of explosive light and flame that could damage the ground but without actually breaking any nearby windows.

The double-gate location where the stabbing gets done is real on the embankment of the river. The stuntmen river police jump onto a regular tourist cruise boat dock. This Mission Impossible Prague filming location is real but part of the scene is faked. If you look carefully behind the phone box is a boat and steps leading down to the water.

The combination of this style of steps and the willow tree is found only in one place. This means a fake phone box was positioned by the railings. This is the Mission Impossible Prague filming location that I mentioned earlier. After calling Kittridge, Ethan walks through an archway and walks up the steps. Slick editing, a high camera angle and some choice lighting increases the drama but in reality only the river and a boat dock are on the other side of the arch. The opening scenes were set and shot in Prague , taking in the moonlit Charles Bridge and a memorable escape on foot across Wenceslas Square in the heart the city.

A visually spectacular Eurostar sequence was largely shot on sound stages just outside of London, but scenes in Langley, Virginia, which include the famous heist-on-a-rope stunt were partly filmed on location.

The vertigo-inducing scenes signalled a new series trademark of Cruise putting himself in outlandish situations. Director John Woo expressed his concerns about the star doing the stunt himself, but Cruise was adamant he would take it on. The third film in this series is something of an oddity. The action is ramped up, but the tone is a lot darker. Cruise and co find themselves in Berlin on a complicated mission at the start of the movie.

There are extensive scenes in China , including a leap into the unknown in Shanghai, and a protracted sequence in Vatican City.
