What's left behind the scenes
- Practically all the stunts and fight scenes in the film were performed by Tom Cruise himself. The actor refused to use stunt doubles.
- Ethan Hunt addresses the Austrian Chancellor as the head of state. In reality, the Chancellor is the head of government, and the head of state in Austria is the President.
- An Arri Alexa 65 6.5K camera was used to film the underwater scenes.
- In the final scene, when Lane is in the glass cube, after the shots are fired at the glass, neither bullets nor casings are visible. Additionally, cracks appear and disappear on the glass.
- After more than a month of filming in Austria and Morocco, the crew moved to London on September 28th. On October 7th, a trailer transporting a damaged BMW M3 was spotted leaving the Moroccan filming locations. On October 10th, Cruise and his stunt double, Wade Eastwood, were seen filming some scenes in Monaco. The filming of the scene featuring Ethan Hunt fighting aboard a flying Airbus A400M took place at RAF Wittering in Cambridgeshire. Filming began in Southampton on November 9th. On December 2nd, 2014, Cruise narrowly avoided being hit by a double-decker bus during filming in London, but it passed by without incident. According to confirmation from the director, filming wrapped on March 12th, 2015.
- Rebecca Ferguson bears a physical resemblance to the Swedish actress Ingrid Bergman. Ferguson's character in this film is named Ilsa Faust, which is a reference to Bergman's character, Ilsa Lund, from Casablanca (1942).
- During filming, Tom Cruise sustained various injuries six times.
- The A400 aircraft used in the film was built in Seville (Spain) and transported to the UK specifically for filming. Interestingly, the actor who played the pilot of this aircraft, Mateo Rufino, is also from that city.
- The film's subtitle («Rogue Nation») caused a minor conflict between Paramount Studios and Disney, which was simultaneously announcing the film «Rogue One: A Star Wars Story» (2016). As a result, the studios reached an agreement that Disney would not promote its film until the Paramount film had been released.
- Tom Cruise himself performed the scene where his character grabs onto the door of a departing plane from the outside and is lifted into the air with it. No computer graphics were used in this scene. The actor was filmed by a camera mounted on the left wing of the aircraft. Special lenses were made to protect the actor's eyes from small particles. Eight takes were required to film this scene, with the plane ascending to an altitude of approximately 1.5 km.
