Wild Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning CinemaCon Footage Shows Surprisingly Funny Car Chase

gamespot.com:

Though none of the cast or crew of Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part One was around for Paramount's presentation at CinemaCon on Thursday, attendees were treated to quite a surprise anyway: a 20-minute chunk of the movie.

We should stress, however, that this is not the opening sequence of the film. And so be warned: The descriptions of the clips below could contain spoilers for Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part One.

The sequence began with Hayley Atwell's character, Grace, being held in a police interrogation room and questioned about her identity. She claims to be a school teacher. (She isn't.) Fortunately for her, Ethan Hunt is pretending to be her lawyer, and is gonna break her out.

But there's also a bad guy on the prowl. Esai Morales, who plays the main villain of the film as far as we know, is pretending to be an Interpol officer, trying to get a key he thinks Grace might have had when she was arrested, and generally being scary and threatening.

And then it's time for action. Another group of bad guys have arrived, led by Guardians of the Galaxy star Pom Klementieff, and Ethan and Grace have to fight their way out of the station before beginning an epic car chase.

It's a classic sort of car chase for the franchise, which means Ethan and Grace are handcuffed to each other for much of it, and they go through a remarkable number of different vehicles, from a police motorcycle to a police car to a tiny, suped-up Fiat. A funny choice, considering Klementieff's character is driving a large SUV. But that's intentional--the chase is jokier than you might expect from this franchise, like when both our heroes and their pursuers go flying down a long flight of steps.

Unfortunately, the presentation ended
