“Every day, I come by your house and I pick you up.

[Eric Cartman]

I think MI:2 is probably the weakest MI - also I think Jim Phelps as the bad guy in OG MI is pretty good, given thats the OG TV series main character, even if Jon Voight isn't amazing.

Actually, I rewatched the first MI fairly recently, and goddamn De Palma made a fucking great, tightly plotted action film that segues from the TV show into a big blockbuster Hollywood production so well.
