Mission: Impossible (film)/Fridge

• Fridge Logic: The Blofeld Ploy mentioned on the main page. After Jim shoots Claire, he punches Ethan to the floor and decides to get the hell off the train. So, what, he only put a single bullet in his gun?
  • The gun was a Scaramanga Special, as shown by the earlier scene where it was being assembled. It was probably only a single-shot gun.
• Fridge Logic: At the end of Ghost Protocol, why didn't the new iPhones that Ethan handed to his team self-destruct? I thought all mission briefings did that...

• Fridge Horror: In the first movie, Secretary Kittridge sent Hunt's IMF team to retrieve a stolen list of Code Names as part of an internal "mole hunt" - and was completely unsurprised when Hunt was the Sole Survivor, whom he thus believed to be the mole. He effectively sacrificed the entire team to catch a single mole. The whole "disavow any knowledge" meant the loyal team members were expecting to stake their lives on their talents without a net, but sending them on a Suicide Mission without their knowledge? Granted, he was really pissed off afterwards at the deaths and there was really no other way to expose the mole, but dude, that's cold. Justified, but cold.
  • Perhaps he wasn't expecting the mole to reveal him/herself by killing the rest of the team, but when he got the news that they all were dead, figured out quickly that this would expose the mole anyway.
