Tom Cruise set a Guinness World Record while filming "Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning". It was for most burning parachute jumps by an individual.
Tom jumped out of a helicopter 16 times while strapped to a parachute pre-soaked in fuel and lit ON FIRE. According to Guinness, no other actor or stuntman has come close to that amount of drops.
Guinness' Editor-in-Chief says, quote, "Tom doesn't just play action heroes, he is an action hero! A large part of his success can be chalked up to his absolute focus on authenticity and pushing the boundaries of what a leading man can do."
In behind-the-scenes footage of the stunt, Tom says, quote, "If this is twisted while it's burning, I'm going to be spinning and burnt. I have to kick out of the twist and then ignite in 10 seconds.
"We're going to be real smart. I'm not saying be risky. We don't take risks, obviously."
