If you have seen Mission Impossible Fallout in India, you might have missed out that the heart-stopping climax of the film was supposedly set in Kashmir, India. But Censor Board made sure nearly every reference of Kashmir is cut from the film. It is another fact that the makers of Fallout didn't get shoot the film in the valley, as the Indian army didn't give permission (and rightly so, knowing the fragile situation at the border). So they have to do with shooting some portions in New Zealand.
But one important portion of the Fallout climax where Tom Cruise and Henry Cavill's character were seen hanging on the side of the cliff, was actually shot in Pulpit Rock, Norway. Recently Paramount Pictures arranged for a special screening of the film for the movie's most die-hard fans right on top of the cliff. So these fans had to take a hike of about 2000 feet to reach on top and attend the screening. Talk about an out-of-the-world experience!
If you want to know whether fans bothered to do a 'Tom Cruise' and climbed that cliff to watch a movie, well, the turnout was more than 2000 fans! Even the star, Tom Cruise was glad with this kind of response and he tweeted out,
2,000 feet, 2,000 people, 4 hours of hiking. The most impossible screening of #MissionImpossible Fallout. Thank you all for coming! I wish I could have been there. pic.twitter.com/ufi1FkP6KI
