The upcoming *Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning* promises to deliver heart-stopping intensity, with director Christopher McQuarrie boasting that the film could induce a "medical emergency" in viewers. This follows a trend where films aim to elicit extreme visceral reactions, such as fainting or vomiting, for marketing appeal. Previous *Mission: Impossible* stunts, like Tom Cruise's mountain motorbike jump, have sometimes underwhelmed despite hype. However, McQuarrie’s new sequence reportedly left test audiences feeling suffocated and on the brink of a heart attack. While this approach can be thrilling, there is a fine line between excitement and danger, as some moviegoers have suffered fatal heart attacks during intense films like *Jaws* and *The Passion of the Christ*. The goal remains pushing boundaries without crossing into life-threatening territory.
