Did ‘Mission: Impossible 5’ Steal That Plane Stunt From Chris Farley’s 'Black Sheep’?

Mission: Impossible — Rogue Nation is all the rage this weekend, and there’s one scene in particular that is its very ragiest: the sequence where Tom Cruise latches on to an airplane just as it takes off.

If the whole thing feels vaguely familiar, it’s because Chris Farley did it first. As this new mashup from Todd Spence (which recasts Rogue Nation with the late comedic actor) shows, Farley went for lift off when his coat got stuck in the door of plane in the 1996 comedy Black Sheep.

OK, maybe Farley didn’t actually commit to the practical stunt like the hotshot Cruise, but we’ll still accept that Rogue Nation scene as a Farley homage.

Mission: Impossible — Rogue Nation is now in theaters, as is the new documentary, I Am Chris Farley.
