Dayum, Rebecca Ferguson makes one outrageously exceptional secret spy double-agent in "Mission:Impossible 5" and the movie also has some fine high-speed motorcycle riding.
But first ... we know the seedy kind of people who come here to see this stuff but we think we can match your seediness and base carnal desires because we're just as seedy as (drum roll) y'all.
(Ed: you going to do like George Bush and pretend you're a Texan now?)
Chuck that carpetbaggin' humbug back to where no-one has to listen to him ... y'all.
Rebecca Ferguson. I didn't check to find if she does her own riding but the bikes were going way past any rational street speed so I'd be surprised if they let any of the actors do it themselves.
So, do we deliver or what. How's yer testosterone doing out there, Archie Bunker.
So, hang onto that testosterone vibe because we're not finished yet.
Can't tell if that's really Tom Cruise but there's no faking leaning into a corner like that and there's no faking the speed necessary to get the bike leaning down like that in the first place. His weight is well-shifted for it which shows me a pro racer or a street racer with exceptional skills.
Most car chases in movies get tedious but this motorcycle chase involving at least half a dozen motorcycles is surprisingly exciting. I wasn't watching it like I'm Sherlock Holmes and I didn't notice any signs of speeding up the playback to increase the apparent speed.
Sometimes you'll see some yahoo driving balls-out on a public road and he will use an action cam to record it. Maybe it's nervy, as completely stupid things go, but the video isn't all that cool after a brief time because there is no editing. However, the movie director can throw multiple camera views at it and will shoot from helicopters if he likes. The result is the most engaging chase I've seen in a while mostly because it didn't look faked and ... some highly sweet bikes.
Lotho has the skill to ride like this and I say he's good based on the evidence he didn't tear up his leathers too much. He can do things with motorcycles I wouldn't dream of doing but he has the wisdom to recognize he has near pro racer skills but not close enough to satisfy him he race safely. He told me unless you're willing and capable of sliding / drifting on both tires at the same time, you won't be competitive.
Lotho doesn't ride anymore but he was an outstanding rider and there were two things he always wore for driving this fast: a full-cover helmet and leathers. He's the only Testosterone Boy in the family to end up without major injuries so you can follow his example or not as you will but at least you know of it.
Update: here are those motorcycle stunts and it's confirmed that really is Tom Cruise riding and it surprised me to see Rebecca Ferguson did her own riding as well. This lady is no slouch at all.
