* In "The Legend", Rollin pulls the rug out from under the villain of the week and his scheme to resurrect the Nazis through a dummy impersonating Martin Bormann by... ''impersonating Martin Bormann''. The OhCrap expression on the BigBad's face as everyone else ''heil''s "Bormann" is '''priceless'''.
* In "Death Squad", when Barney and his cellmate are about to be hanged by a corrupt police force for crimes they (certainly Barney) didn't commit, Mr. Collier's refusal of a blindfold drives his formerly nervy colleague to take his punishment like a man and similarly decline. [[spoiler:Fortunately this doesn't become a DyingMomentOfAwesome for either of them, as the rope has been rigged to break by the IM Force as part of the rescue.]]
* Several instalments, like "The Killer", "The Council" (parts one ''and'' two), "The Mind Of Stefan Miklos", "Operation Rogosh" and "The Heir Apparent" are basically Episodes Of Awesome.
* In "Robot", Leonard Nimoy plays (in addition to Paris) Gemini - the double of a deceased premier; usually when he or Martin Landau play multiple characters in an episode with makeup on there's still a touch of IdenticalStranger, but Gemini/the premier genuinely doesn't look anything like Paris.

** Just a taste of going the extra mile for the stunts: That sequence in the second film where the blade of Ambrose's knife comes within a quarter-inch of Ethan's eyeball and then Ethan and Ambrose struggle for control of it? That is a real knife being held a quarter-inch from Cruise's own eyeball per his request for the take.
** That's Cruise scaling, running, and flying over the surface of the Burj Khalifa in Dubai without a stunt double in ''Ghost Protocol''. The Burj Khalifa, only the tallest building ''in the world'', no biggie.
* The effects department gets a big one for the Owen Davian mask scene in ''Mission Impossible III''. Pure movie magic.
* The climax at the end of the first M:I definitely deserves a mention, but it wouldn't be complete without the music. Until this point, the music has been this cacophony of musical instruments. But when [[spoiler:Kreiger nearly loses control of the helicopter before you think he]] slices Ethan's head off, the music does the M:I equivalent of a "CHARGE!!!" and then blows out the M:I Theme crystal clear in a different key in a musical equivalent of "And the fight is on!". It's so awesome it makes this troper smile and get goosebumps.
** Not only that, the fight itself is an awesome case of better than it sounds: "Surfing on a train with a helicopter inside a tunnel, and the bad guy is defeated by [[spoiler:gum]]"
*** [[ChekhovsGun RED LIGHT!]]... [[PreMortemOneLiner GREEN LIGHT!]] *slam [[spoiler:gum]] onto windshield* [[spoiler:BOOM!!]]
*** The sequence is so RuleOfCool that even RogerEbert admits in his review that even though there's no plausible way a chopper could fit inside the Chunnel and have room to maneuver, it looks so damn awesome that you simply let it go.
** Let's not forget the scene immediately preceding the fight atop the train. Ethan ruins Phelps' entire plan just with a pair of glasses.

* The Vatican Heist in the third movie. The team infiltrates the Vatican, slips past security, gains access to underground tunnels under the building, photographs the bad guy, creates a mask that is a perfect replica of his face, captures him and lets a disguised Ethan take his place after which they fake his death by blowing up a car, so that his entire entourage thinks he's dead.

* Perhaps the best evidence of Hunt's unbelievable ball size would be the final fight sequence of Ghost Protocol, which peaks with the bad guy jumping six stories to his death simply to deny Ethan the MacGuffin, and Ethan '''''driving a car off a ledge after him,''''' hoping the air bag will blunt the damage enough for him to remain able to crawl upon landing.

*** The sequence is so RuleOfCool that even RogerEbert admits in his review that even though there's no plausible way a chopper could fit inside the Chunnel and have room to maneuver, it looks so damn awesome that you simply let it go.go.
* In "Ghost Protocol", Ethan climbs the highest building in the world, courtesy of sticky techno gloves, only for the devices to crap out on him when he makes it to the server room. How does he get back down? He pulls a John McClane by wrapping a cable around his waist and jumping out the window, proceeding to [[HolyShitQuotient RUN STRAIGHT DOWN THE SIDE OF THE BUILDING]], accompanied by Giacchino's awesome rendition of the M:I theme. It's a helluva [[ThemeMusicPowerUp]].

** That's Cruise scaling, running, and flying over the Burj Khalifa tower in Dubai without a stunt double in ''Ghost Protocol''. The Burj Khalifa, only the tallest building ''in the world'', no biggie.

** Just a taste of going the extra mile for the stunts: That sequence in the second film where Ambrose's knife comes within a quarter-inch of Ethan's eyeball and then Ethan and Ambrose struggle for control of it? That is a real knife being held a quarter-inch from Cruise's own eyeball per his request for the take.
