** Given Creator/PhilipSeymourHoffman didn't win his awards for ''Film/{{Capote}}'' mere months before this movie came out in 2006, it's possible that the filmmakers didn't know to make his role as Owen Davian bigger than it was at the time the movie was being filmed. By then, it was too late.

* TheOtherDarrin: In the European French dub, Yvan Attal (who himself replaced Creator/PatrickPoivey for ''Film/MissionImpossibleII'') was replaced by Creator/JeanPhilippePuymartin (the most prominent dub voice of Creator/TomCruise by far since ''Film/InterviewWithTheVampire'') as Ethan. Puymartin has remained in the role to this day.

* StarDerailingRole: While by no means a failure, the film grossed way below expectations and temporarily derailed Tom Cruise's career, mostly through antics described on Wiki/TheOtherWiki which combined with the underperformance gave Creator/{{Paramount}} the perfect pretense to fire him. Then Paramount changed their minds and he ultimately made a CareerResurrection with a sequel five years later, ''Film/MissionImpossibleGhostProtocol''.

* RecycledScript: The plot is similar to the first film: [[spoiler: Ethan is set up by [[TheMole a mole]] in [=IMF=] who isn't revealed until near the end, and who tries to frame the boss of the organization who spends time as an AntiVillain trying to [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment hunt down Hunt]], with the audience left unclear if its because the boss really thinks Hunt is a traitor or because the boss ''is'' the traitor. In both their actions force Ethan to go rogue and steal the MacGuffin that the bad guys are after for them, and in both TheMole is in league with an arms dealer. Each movie sees Hunt's family being dragged into the plot to get at him, sees a fairly traditional [=IMF=] plot go off without a hitch only for the team to be ambushed after the fact, and features a reference ot Ethan evading airport security despite [=IMF=] putting "a guy at the airport".]]

** Ethan hiding his double life as a spy from Julia until she eventually gets dragged into it and endangered is very reminiscent to the plot of ''Film/TrueLies''.
