Trivia
In the original script of the opening scene, Brownway was supposed to do the "counting" but director J.J. Abrams realized it would be much more dramatic if it was done by Owen Davien instead.

During Brassel's debrief, he says that Owen Davian is invisible in terms of "Wells, not Ellison." H.G. Wells wrote "The Invisible Man" (1897) in which the title character is a scientist who can make himself physically invisible. Ralph Ellison wrote "Invisible Man" (1952) in which the main character, an African-American, considers himself a member of a socially invisible minority.

Goofs
Ethan is told to meet 'at the crack of dawn' the next morning for the mission, but when Ethan appears the next morning it is obvious the outdoor shadows are near mid-day.

When the Lamborghini Gallardo explodes after Zhen and Ethan go into the sewers, you can clearly see a chain protruding from the car just as it explodes, as the crew had used one to hold down the car and control the explosion.

As Owen Davian is being transported along the bridge, the fly over shot shows no cars passing next to the caravan, but then the camera cuts to a car behind the caravan and suddenly there are cars.

Q
How does the movie end?
A
Using Musgrave's (Billy Crudup) cellphone and with the help of IMF technician Benji Dunn (Simon Pegg), Ethan tracks down the location of his last phone call. There, he finds Julia handcuffed and gagged with duct tape. Before he can set her free, however, Davian activates the bomb in Ethan's head, sending him reeling on the floor in pain. Davian then beats Ethan mercilessly, promising to kill Julia in front of him. Just as Davian reaches for his gun, Ethan manages to tackle him, and they both crash through a window to the street below, where Davian is hit by a truck and killed. With just minutes before the bomb in his head goes off, Ethan releases Julia, loosens power cables, and instructs her to electrocute him in order to deactivate the bomb. Julia does as told and, while Ethan lies dead on the floor, is forced to shoot Musgrave when he breaks into the room. Julia then performs CPR on Ethan, successfully resuscitating him. Taking the Rabbit's Foot with him, the two walk away as Ethan tells Julia about his job with the IMF. In the final scene, Ethan is back at headquarters. Brassel (Laurence Fishburne) congratulates him and alerts him to the fact that the White House has a possible mission for him. Before he leaves to go on his honeymoon with Julia, Ethan asks what is in the Rabbit's Foot, and Brassel promises to tell him if he will return to the IMF. Ethan promises to send a postcard, and then he and Julia walk off hand-in-hand.
