Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation
I didn't see a thread for it, and it opens Friday.
I really enjoyed 4. I thought they did a nice job of retooling things to keep it entertaining with some good laughs and a pretty good plot that had very good set action pieces. Anyway, I just saw this. You'll see in the trailer a part where Cruise is holding onto the side of a plane taking off. You figure it is just a green screen effect done in post production. Nope. I'll hand it to Cruise on this one. It takes balls to hang onto the side of an airplane taking off as it climbs and is going 185+ mph. https://youtu.be/gOW_azQbOjw https://youtu.be/F-qBD17wwrQ http://www.cnn.com/2015/07/25/entert...ise/index.html

he may have lost some height due to be older.. but i'm sure he was at least 6'0. I have family friends that live in the same neighborhood as his mistress in Bakersfield lol.

Arnold is 5'10.
I never looked up his height before and always thought he was big, tall guy. But in 2013, I ran into him and at the Palms Restaurant (before it closed, obviously) and couldn't believe how short he was in real life. As mentioned, I'm 6'1 without shoes and probably 6'2-6'2.5 in dress shoes. Arnold, dressed in a white cotton button down shirt and with pants with deck shoes on, was no taller than 5'11, maybe less. We chatted at the bar before we were each seated (and he was actually there with family - Maria, too). I couldn't believe it. After dinner, I called my Dad to tell him because I was so shocked. |

I thought this might be an issue, too, as most people shrink as they age. I also thought that maybe, like my Dad, who was in a bad motorcycle accident and lost more than an inch in height, that Arnold had been in an undisclosed accident as well.

Look at this pic. Lou is supposedly 6'3 or 6'4. Arnold is at least four inches shorter and this was in their youth. Lou's head isn't completely straight, either. |

WOW. Everything I've ever read said Arnie was 6'2". If Ferrigno is 6'4"-6'5" then Arnie is no taller than 5'10"-5'11". |
