* SchizoContinuity: To date, ''M:I-II'' is the only film in the series to never have its plot elements directly referenced with the other films in any way. As well, while Ethan and Luther are series mainstays from the [[Film/MissionImpossible1996 first film]] (and Eugene Kittridge returns to the series much later in ''[[Film/MissionImpossibleDeadReckoningPartOne Dead Reckoning Part One]]''), none of the characters introduced in this film (including Nyah, Swanbeck, and Billy) ever returned. By contrast, every installment from the [[Film/MissionImpossibleIII third]] and onward introduces at least one new recurring character to the series. ''[[Film/MissionImpossibleRogueNation Rogue Nation]]'' and ''[[Film/MissionImpossibleFallout Fallout]]'' do feature a few minor [[CallBack Call-Backs]] to this film, however.
