Draws on

What the speakers say they, or a film of theirs, drew on. Each is a speaker's account: “the maker said so” when they report the maker's own words, “the host's read” when the read is theirs.

Jules Dassin: 1 line

  1. lineage (homage source) · through Mission: Impossible (1996), which they were tied to as tie-in sponsor (Powerbooks, web adventure): Jules Dassin ⇒ Mission: Impossible (the host's read). Dassin's heist classics are the model for the Langley break-in.
    “the Langley heist is an homage to the Jewel Statsen classics”
    The Rewatchables · 'Mission: Impossible' With Chris Ryan, Sean Fennessey, and Jason Concepcion · 0:49:53 · Chris Ryan (0.50 sure it was them)

Psycho (1960): 1 line

  1. lineage (Hitchcock structural homage) · through Mission: Impossible (1996), which they were tied to as tie-in sponsor (Powerbooks, web adventure): Psycho ⇒ Mission: Impossible (the host's read). Killing off Kristin Scott Thomas's star-billed character early mirrors Psycho killing Janet Leigh.
    “it's completely Hitchcocky and it's killing Janet Lee after 40 minutes.”
    The Rewatchables · 'Mission: Impossible' With Chris Ryan, Sean Fennessey, and Jason Concepcion · 0:29:57 · Sean Fennessey (0.40 sure it was them)

Rififi (1955): 1 line

  1. lineage (heist homage) · through Mission: Impossible (1996), which they were tied to as tie-in sponsor (Powerbooks, web adventure): Rififi ⇒ Mission: Impossible (the host's read). The silent Langley vault heist echoes the Rififi heist where an alarm is triggered by sound.
    “my favorite heist movies were Fifi, which has a heist uh, portion where they very similar, they drill through the roof and it's all in silence”
    The Rewatchables · 'Mission: Impossible' With Chris Ryan, Sean Fennessey, and Jason Concepcion · 0:24:41 · Sean Fennessey (0.40 sure it was them)

The Fast and the Furious (2001): 1 line

  1. lineage (franchise influence) · through Mission: Impossible (1996), which they were tied to as tie-in sponsor (Powerbooks, web adventure): The Fast and the Furious ⇒ Mission: Impossible (the host's read). The modern MI films combine Bourne-style hand-to-hand combat with Fast and the Furious over-the-top action.
    “the 2 biggest influences on Mission Impossible are born in the Fast and the Furious.”
    The Rewatchables · 'Mission: Impossible' With Chris Ryan, Sean Fennessey, and Jason Concepcion · 0:18:47 · Sean Fennessey (0.40 sure it was them)

The Fugitive (1993): 1 line

  1. unmapped (TV-to-film precedent) · through Mission: Impossible (1996), which they were tied to as tie-in sponsor (Powerbooks, web adventure): The Fugitive ⇒ Mission: Impossible (the host's read). The Fugitive proved a classic TV property could be a big-screen box-office hit, which opened the door for Mission: Impossible.
    “the fugitive proved that there was box office potential and television IP on the big screen.”
    The Rewatchables · 'Mission: Impossible' With Chris Ryan, Sean Fennessey, and Jason Concepcion · 0:02:32 · Chris Ryan (0.50 sure it was them)

The Lady Vanishes (1938): 1 line

  1. lineage (Hitchcock homage) · through Mission: Impossible (1996), which they were tied to as tie-in sponsor (Powerbooks, web adventure): The Lady Vanishes ⇒ Mission: Impossible (the host's read). The European mystery shades of the film recall The Lady Vanishes and Shadow of a Doubt.
    “Lady Vanishes or, or, uh, even like Shadow of a Doubt in some respects”
    The Rewatchables · 'Mission: Impossible' With Chris Ryan, Sean Fennessey, and Jason Concepcion · 1:06:25 · Jason Concepcion (0.40 sure it was them)

Topkapi (1964): 1 line

  1. lineage (heist homage) · through Mission: Impossible (1996), which they were tied to as tie-in sponsor (Powerbooks, web adventure): Topkapi ⇒ Mission: Impossible (the host's read). Langley heist is an homage to the Jules Dassin heist classics Topkapi and Rififi.
    “the Langley heist is an homage to the Jewel Statsen classics of uh, top copy and uh, Rafifi.”
    The Rewatchables · 'Mission: Impossible' With Chris Ryan, Sean Fennessey, and Jason Concepcion · 0:49:53 · Chris Ryan (0.50 sure it was them)

Drawn on by

What the speakers say drew on them or a film of theirs, marked the same way.

Mission: Impossible – Fallout (2018): 2 lines

  1. lineage (callback) · through Mission: Impossible (1996), which they were tied to as tie-in sponsor (Powerbooks, web adventure): Mission: Impossible ⇒ Mission: Impossible – Fallout (the host's read). Every later MI film calls back to the Langley drop as a hallmark.
    “I realized that they call back to that specific moment every time”
    The Rewatchables · 'Mission: Impossible' With Chris Ryan, Sean Fennessey, and Jason Concepcion · 0:06:37 · Sean Fennessey (0.50 sure it was them)
  2. industry (franchise template) · through Mission: Impossible (1996), which they were tied to as tie-in sponsor (Powerbooks, web adventure): Mission: Impossible ⇒ Mission: Impossible – Fallout (the host's read). Every MI film reuses the same three-set-piece structure plus a McGuffin, which is why the franchise is elastic.
    “they used the same exact structure in every single movie that came forward.”
    The Rewatchables · 'Mission: Impossible' With Chris Ryan, Sean Fennessey, and Jason Concepcion · 0:11:13 · Sean Fennessey (0.50 sure it was them)

Fun items about them

  1. fun, about Apple: F1 gave Apple movie credibility; Napoleon was the earlier misfire and F1 now holds the Apple TV landing page.
    “it gave Apple movie credibility that it just didn't have.”
    The Rewatchables · ‘F1’ With Bill Simmons, Chris Ryan, and Van Lathan · 0:42:13 · Chris Ryan (0.50 sure it was them)
  2. fun, about Apple: Apple was nearly bankrupt and used MI for Powerbook placement plus an early promo site, the Mission Impossible Web Adventure; they spent about $15 million.
    “they also set up a early website promotional tie-in called the Mission Impossible Web Adventure.”
