Sequences of moderate violence including shootings, stabbings and beatings.
A man hits his head on a blunt object and blood sprays all over it, very brutal and jarring.
A man is brutally beaten and stabbed with a meat cleaver offscreen, we see his dead body covered in blood with the cleaver sticking out his back, blood is seen all over the killer's t-shirt and stomach.
Lots of shooting, explosions, and hand combat. Typical Mission Impossible stuff.
A man bites what he says is a cyanide tablet, he thrashes and foams at the mouth, falls back in a chair and during the commotion frees himself from handcuffs and fights guards in the room; a woman in the room fights with guards and is held with a knife to her throat until her assailant is shot in the back; we hear more fighting off-screen as a woman looks away and we see bodies later with one man pinned under a cabinet and another man with a large knife in his chest (blood is evident). .
A man draws a gun and shoots toward another person in a crowded room; another person steps in the way of the bullet and is struck in the chest (we see the bullet hole and he dies), while other people shoot the first shooter and he is killed.
A man fights several other men as flames ignite the building and smoke billows; the man punches and kicks several men, he holds one man on the floor by the leg and kicks him in the face, he presses a man's face against a spinning mechanism and we see the man's bloody face, the roof of the building collapses, and a woman is held around the throat and she falls unconscious.
Gunfire breaks out and a man is struck in the chest as he tries to dodge bullets (we see blood).
Planes challenge each other midair and a man in one plane jumps out the back and into frigid water below; several divers surface around him and he is tasered in the neck and falls unconscious, and then he revives quaking from the cold.
A woman performs chest compressions and mouth-to-mouth resuscitation on an unconscious man and he revives.
A woman sits next to a man in a hospital room and we see that she is dead with blood dripping from her hand.
A man with a chest wound says that his lung is collapsing and he will suffocate; he instructs a woman how to cut his chest with a knife and insert a tube to relieve the collapsed lung (we see her pressing the knife into his chest and he groans, and we hear a suction sound when the tube is inserted).
A diver moves through a sunken submarine and when its weight shifts and it rolls off the ledge it is resting on, missiles in a storage room fall and nearly pin him, and one lands on a hatch blocking it closed; the man removes his suit and gear to fit through a chute, the chute fills with water and he is pulled out into frigid water where he attempts to surface without a suit or tanks as he thrashes and then is still (he is revived later).
A man and a woman threaten two armed men and back them into a small room where one man is struck with a gun butt and the man and the woman are shot with tranquilizer darts; they wake up chained and we see torture implements on a tray.
A man in a car chases another man, he is slammed in the side by another car and his car rolls several times; he exits and runs after the other car, then chases a plane and when he is unable to catch the plane, another plane speeds toward him on the runway, he clings to its landing gear, climbs onto a wing and punches the pilot; he rolls the plane dumping the pilot out (we see him falling toward the ground) and chases the other plane in an extended sequence through narrow and rocky passages; the man then flies under the other plane and boards that one, leaving his plane to plummet toward the ground, he punches the pilot and the plane dives, the pilot revives and tries to stab the other man, and the pilot spins the plane and tries to throw the other man off the plane; they each cling to seat belt straps and one man falls (we see blood splatter when his head slams into the tail); the plane catches fire and the other man falls, and deploys a parachute (the chute catches fire as he falls toward the ground).
A man and woman fight and the woman is stabbed (we see blood).
Police and prison guards fight using tasers and gunfire is exchanged while a prisoner in their custody gets a gun and shoots several guards.
We hear about things that a man has done as we see a bomb explode, a room fill with gas, and the man removing masks that resemble other people.
Flashbacks show several people being held at gunpoint, injured and dying.
A man is locked in a cage with a bomb that we are told is a 6-megaton bomb and he tries to disarm it; another man runs through a tunnel as the bomb explodes and blows flames and debris through the tunnel after him and we understand that the first man dies in the blast.
We see flashbacks to scenes of dead bodies with bloody wounds, jumping motorcycles, scaling shear walls, and gunfire exchanges.
Several scenes show people trying to disable explosive devices as a timer counts down; they talk about the person working on the bomb not surviving.
A man wearing a deep sea suit fills a chamber with water and leaves a vessel to dive to a great depth; when he opens the hatch we see another submarine right outside the hatch and he is thrown against it as it chases the sub he just came from, dodging the turbine.
A diver enters a sunken vessel and finds bodies with frost and blood on their faces; we see flashbacks to numerous bodies floating in the frigid water after a crash.
A man's face is pushed against an active treadmill, very brutal.
A man's arm is taken and twisted backwards, pulling his entire shoulder in a 180.
One moment in the movie shows a man's head slam into something and slide off with bloody detail. Very shocking and might be one of the most graphic scenes in the series, up there with the end scene and bathroom fight in MI FALLOUT.
This movie is pretty brutal and has some really shocking moments especially for it being a mission impossible movie. One scene Ethan breaks/dislocates a man's arm very quickly and suddenly, it's not super graphic, as the man is wearing sleeves that cover his arms but it is pretty brutal and unexpected.
