The Mission Impossible 7 train scene was originally the length of a full movie

Mission Impossible 7

If you’ve seen Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part 1, you’ll know it ends with a frankly incredible train sequence. This features Tom Cruise’s Ethan Hunt and Hayley Atwell’s Grace climbing through the derailed train as it begins to plunge off a broken bridge, naturally after Hunt landed on it by jumping off a cliff on a motorcycle too.

Well, we now know that originally that Orient Express section was going to be a whole lot longer. Speaking to Variety, the film’s editor Eddie Hamilton has said the whole sequence "was about an hour-and-a-half long in our first iteration. We got it down to like 50 minutes in the finished movie."
