Face masks are a recurring trope throughout the Mission: Impossible series, but you many not have noticed a clever detail in M:I-2 that hints at a later plot twist. When Ethan Hunt is shot in the leg by Sean Ambrose, he lets out an odd sounding mumble.
Roxburgh recorded his gunshot reaction separately and the audio was added later in post-production. He reportedly liked the place so much that he wanted to include references to it in the M:I-III script. The reference is a bit of a stretch considering Davian is neither literally invisible or a socially invisible minority, but it works in the context of the film.
The latter show was still a cultural phenomenon when M:I-III was released, so it makes sense that Abrams would include a few Easter eggs to the show he helped create. There are several Lost references strewn throughout the film, including a sheet of paper on a desk at IMF headquarters with a swan logo that looks a lot like the one used by the mysterious Dharma Initiative from the show.
What you may not have realized is that while CGI was used in the long shots, models were used in other shots to help keep costs down. Director J. He also has a background cameo in the hospital scene when Ethan is looking for his wife, and is the voice on the phone at the start of the movie talking about winning a free trip to Mexico.
When Ethan is captured by Davian and wakes up tied to a chair, a charge is immediately shot up his nose by Brownway Eddie Marsan. As the story goes, Cruise initially complained that it hurt too much because of the pressure Marsan was putting on his nose. The same thing happened with John Musgrave Billy Crudup. After escaping from a Russian prison at the beginning of the movie, Ethan Hunt gets his latest mission from a pay phone. The odd love triangle is one of the movie's similarities to Alfred Hitchcock's Notorious, as highlighted by ComingSoon.
The movie might be more extreme, but there's some recognizable real-world tech in it too. Apple continued its partnership with the franchise and Apple Powerbook G3s are seen several times. We reached out to the company about this, but they had no info about it, so it's most likely an unreleased prototype or prop. IMF must have upped its agents' conditioner allowance for the turn of the century, because Hunt's hair is pretty spectacular in this movie.
The real impossible mission here is not getting hypnotized by it during the more balletic scenes. JJ Abrams took over as director and co-writer for the more grounded third movie. This is exemplified in how Hunt receives his mission -- from a disposable Kodak Power Flash camera with a retinal scanner -- and the focus on his personal life, with the introduction of his fiancee, Julia.
The tech gets smaller too, from the microbombs the bad guys plant in people's heads to the microdot video that gives Hunt his first hint of a traitor working in IMF. Davian is a particularly effective villain, especially in the chilling precredits scene.
We get a better sense of the tech behind the masks in this movie, when they make one midmission. After mapping Davian's face with multiple covert photos, they 3D print a mask and spray paint the skin tone. When Hunt puts the mask on, a clever camera pan hides the transition from mask to CGI to Hoffman's actual face. The voice changer strip is explained too -- Hunt forces Davian to read a phrase that's transmitted to Luther, who remotely uploads the voice match to Hunt's strip.
It's nuts, but it creates a nice moment of tension as he waits for his voice to change. This movie also features some remote-controlled gadgets. IMF computer hacker Luther Stickell Ving Rhames operates several sentry machine guns with a trackerball mouse early in the movie, and drones are used in the spectacular bridge sequence.
In terms of real-world tech, this is the first movie in the series without any Apple products. Luther uses a heavy duty Getac laptop during the Vatican operation and several characters use Nokia N92s.
The agency must have cut its conditioner budget too, as Hunt's hair is much shorter and more practical. It looks like someone told Hunt to eat an Apple a day, because the company's devices are back in a big way in the fourth movie, which was director Brad Bird's first live-action project -- his previous work included The Iron Giant, The Incredibles and now Incredibles 2!
Ghost Protocol takes a fresh approach to gadgets, as the entire IMF is disavowed -- Ghost Protocol -- after a rogue nuclear strategist frames Hunt and his team for bombing the Kremlin. Left without their usual support network, their equipment isn't so effective. Our first hint of this comes early, when Hunt gets his mission from a screen hidden in a grungy phone booth protected by a retinal scanner -- he is forced to hit it when the usual self-destruct sequence fails.
The gadgets continue to fail when the team goes to Dubai and their plan is ruined by a malfunctioning mask-maker. In fact, the only mask we see in this movie is worn by the villain, Kurt Hendricks, in a slightly bewildering bait and switch. As a result of mask failure, Hunt must engage in the movie's most famous sequence. He climbs up the outside of the Burj Khalifa, the tallest structure in the world, using a pair of electro adhesion gloves to reach a server room on the th floor. The audience is primed for something to go wrong when Hunt learns that a blue indicator means the gloves are sticking blue is glue while red means they aren't red is dead.
When they start to malfunction, we get one of the series' most engaging stunts as he must make do without them. In a nice throwback to the second movie's sunglasses, he wears a pair of clear Oakley Wind Jacket goggles during the climb.
Trevor Hanaway 's identification card after the disavowal of the IMF. In a worst-case scenario during undercover missions in which its presence becomes known, the IMF can become a subject to disavowal under order from the President's fail-safe initiative, "Ghost Protocol".
With this initiative in place, the IMF is completely shut down, and any or all agents in the field are hereby unable to access any specific safe houses, receiving support, using satellites or sending extraction to their specific location. Ethan Hunt and his team used the disavowal of the IMF to exercise more restraint in their actions in stopping a nuclear extremist, Kurt Hendricks , than would normally be possible during an official mission given by the mission commanders or by their top agents.

In fact, Ethan is disavowed in half of the series' entries as a result of being framed for crimes he did not commit. Ethan and his IMF comrades have been disavowed in three of the six Mission: Impossible movies, meaning that half of their missions are accomplished without the help or support of the US government.
The first instance of disavowment happens almost immediately during the events of the first film, Mission: Impossible. During an operation in Prague, Ethan's entire team is killed, and he is framed as a traitor.
He goes on the run in an attempt to clear his name and recruits two other disavowed agents, including Luther Stickell, who becomes one of his most trusted allies. Ethan is eventually successful in exposing his mentor Jim Phelps as the real traitor and is reinstated along with Luthor.
