Tom Cruise Tells Kevin McCarthy about the Airplane Stunt in “Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation”

Posted on July 30, 2015 at 8:59 am

My friend Kevin McCarthy asked Tom Cruise how he shot that incredible stunt that has him holding onto the side of a plane while it takes off for “Mission: Impossible — Rogue Nation.” The 53-year-old actor did the stunt himself, no green screen, with contacts to protect his eyes that prevented him from seeing anything, and his primary concern was making sure his legs were dangling enough to make it look real.

In Studio Tonight with BDK

Posted on July 2, 2010 at 2:00 pm

Most Friday evenings I call in to the Kevin and Josh Movie Show here in DC to chat for a few minutes about the week in movies. Josh is away this week, so I get to fill in for the whole show, in studio with my friend Kevin “BDK” McCarthy. Tune in to 106.7 HD2 and hear us talk to “The Last Airbender” director M. Night Shymalan and stars Dev Patel (“Slumdog Millionaire”), Jackson Rathbone (Jasper from “Twilight” and Sokka in “Airbender”) and Nicola Peltz, who plays Sokka’s sister. For those outside the area, I’ll be posting a link to the podcast this weekend.
