-->'''Ethan Hunt:''' [[ItsPersonal I know you, Lane]]. Somewhere along the line you had a crisis of faith. [[TheSociopath Human life didn't matter anymore, or maybe it never really did]]. [[FreudianExcuse Either way, you killed too many innocent people without ever asking who is giving the orders. Or why]]. You blame the system for what you are. Instead of yourself. [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist You wanted revenge.]]

* Davian's brutal interrogation of the [[MacGuffin Rabbit's Foot]] at the [[InMediasRes start/climax]] of the movie, where Davian slowly counts to ten before killing Julia. At one point during the interrogation, Ethan ''snaps'' at Davian and Davian yells back at him, and despite Ethan's pleas, Davian eventually reaches ten and executes Julia. [[spoiler: It's later revealed, however, that the Julia Davian executed was actually his translator, with the real Julia held hostage in a separate building.]]

* The death of [[spoiler: Jack.]] While on the elevator, it suddenly starts to move, and in a blink-and-you-miss-it shot, he gets ''impaled through the eye by the ceiling''. Easily one of the most brutal deaths in the entire series, similar to [[spoiler: August Walker]] in ''Fallout''.

* At the start of the movie, Ethan gets his usual briefing... but then it’s revealed to be the Syndicate giving the briefing, which tells Ethan to “face his fate, and should they pursue them, he’ll be caught, and resist them, he’ll be killed, and his precious secretary will disavow any knowledge of his actions.” Then sleeping gas is released, and the last thing Ethan sees before passing out is Solomon Lane executing the female IMF agent before his eyes.

* Krieger pushing the helicopter blades toward Ethan's neck. It's one of the few times in the whole series where Ethan is ''absolutely helpless'' with nothing he can do to stop a gruesome death, and he only survives from the luck of the helicopter's tail hitting the Channel Tunnel roof.

* Everything about Owen Davian. He's an utterly sadistic monster with zero empathy or compassion who will slaughter everyone you love and for whom murder is as natural as breathing. Creator/PhilipSeymourHoffman resists hamming it up and turns him into a cold-hearted bastard with little emotion which sells just how utterly removed from humanity Davian is, making him every bit as nightmarish as someone like John Doe in ''Film/Se7en''.

The effects of the Chimera virus. It has a twenty-hour incubation period, after which it sets about destroying your red blood cells. The medical pictures of its first victim show an emaciated man with horribly mottled skin and blood coming from his nose and mouth, as if he has internal bleeding ''everywhere'', just underneath his skin. [[CruelAndUnusualDeath What a way to die]].
* [[spoiler:Hugh's death]] near the end of the film. [[spoiler:Ethan knocks him out and then puts him in an Ethan Hunt mask (and puts on a Hugh Stamp mask himself) and gags him. He then takes him to Sean, who proceeds to torture "Ethan" by kneecapping him and then stepping on his knees and grinding his foot into them before shooting him dead as "Hugh" watches, looking visibly uncomfortable/nauseated as "Ethan" screams repeatedly in agony. It's only when Sean notices the bandage on "Ethan"'s finger that he realizes who he actually killed.]]

* The Burj Khalifa climbing sequence. Just the notion that the slightest slip-up meant a long fall down for Ethan makes the sequence ''very'' uncomfortable to watch, especially for those with a fear of heights. Watching the scene in full IMAX just ups the vertigo factor; the sequence is credited with the huge success the film had in IMAX.
* The way [[spoiler: Moreau]] dies. Sure, she ''kind of'' deserves it, but just imagine yourself falling several hundred meters. Her scream is not helping.
