00:00 [MUSIC]
00:02 We came to Rome to shoot a chase scene,
00:04 something with a lot more ambition and
00:06 unpredictability that we haven't had in previous chases.
00:09 We'll be screaming through the streets of Rome, motorcycles, cars.
00:14 Everything that we shot is completely practical.
00:18 We're doing it right.
00:20 It all comes down to one thing.
00:22 How do we involve the audience?
00:23 I just want to give them that thrill.
00:25 [MUSIC]
00:29 We let the city tell us the kind of chase it was going to be.
00:32 Traffic in the city is notorious, and
00:34 the cobblestone streets make all of the driving unpredictable.
00:38 Best part is Tom and Haley, they're handcuffed together.
00:44 >> People are chasing us.
00:46 >> Yes, they are.
00:47 We're driving.
00:48 [MUSIC]
00:52 >> Tom had to drive one-handed cuffed, for real.
00:55 No cheating it.
00:56 >> The key is, don't crash.
00:58 [MUSIC]
01:07 >> Who is that person?
01:08 >> I have no idea.
01:09 >> Tom is driving and drifting one-handed through the streets of Rome.
01:14 >> That was a day I will never forget.
01:16 >> Trying to do drifts every time you think you're going in one direction.
01:19 It's the cobblestones on the street say, no you're not, you're going this way.
01:22 >> You gotta get rid of this car.
01:24 [MUSIC]
01:28 >> Tom and Haley ditched the car for one of their IMF vehicles.
01:31 >> Suddenly, this tiny little Fiat 500 comes out of nowhere.
01:37 >> We built this Fiat 500 so that it would be faster.
01:41 [MUSIC]
01:45 >> You could barely control the car, it was treacherous.
01:47 >> The Fiat, that was wild.
01:51 >> Some would even say the car is possessed.
01:52 [MUSIC]
01:54 >> I don't think we could have made a sequence that was more difficult to shoot
01:57 if I had gone out of my way to do it.
02:00 It has really amazing results.
02:01 [MUSIC]
02:06 Would be impossible without this crew and an actor like Tom.
02:10 >> Looks like we lost them.
