However, the fight scene in ‘ Mission: Impossible - Fallout’ has gone down in history as one of the cleanest editing failures. Henry Cavill ’s villainous role in the ‘Mission: Impossible’ film is perhaps still one of the actor's most beloved roles. Not only that, but the magic of growing a beard mid-scene is also something that the actor mastered during the production process! Here is a look back at the hilarious scene that made the final cut and became a part of the ‘Mission: Impossible’ lore.
