* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Team Hunt usually contains one woman in each movie: Nyah in ''II'', Zhang Lei in ''III'', Jane in ''Ghost Protocol'', and Ilsa in ''Rogue Nation'' and ''Fallout''. The team in the first movie actually contains three women (Hannah, Sarah, and Claire), but Hannah and Sarah get killed off pretty early, leaving Claire as the female lead. Additionally, each movie will contain a female character who isn't part of the team but still plot-relevant, usually as supporting characters or antagonists, such as Julia in ''III'' or Sabine in ''Ghost Protocol''.

* GambitPileup: Since almost everyone is a {{Chessmaster}} in some way, but especially Ethan and the villains, this happens a lot, with both sides of the conflict trying to outsmart and stay ahead of the other. In ''Fallout'', there's no less the ''six'' different factions trying their hand at this. As such, the series has developed a reputation for having very convoluted plots, most infamously the first film.

This makes it sound like there were multiple characters (using the plural word), but as far as I know, Jim Phelps was the only original character to return. And it was an issue exclusive to the first movie anyway, so it can go on that film's YMMV page. As in, it wasn't a franchise-wide issue.

Because of the higher action quotient, dominant focus on Cruise rather than the entire team and some liberties taken with previously existing characters, there has been a sizable backlash from fans of the original series. Still, the films have been embraced by general audiences and elements unique to them alone have become embedded in modern popular culture. They all have different themes and tones, too; they don't simply use a ResetButton and each film isn't mere SequelEscalation (except for Ethan's stunts, which Cruise insists on [[NoStuntDouble performing himself]]. They tend to get more elaborate/risky with each installment).
