<미션 임파서블2>에서 톰쿠르즈는 깍아지르는 절벽을 기어오른다. 손에 땀을 지게 하는 정도가 아니라 떨어지면 어쩔려고 저런 암벽을 등반하는가 싶다. 보는 것만으로 손을 떨리고 스릴과 공포감이 폭발직전이다.
설령 와이어로 몸을 걸로 CG 지웠다했더라도 절대로 따라하면 안될 만큼 아찔한 클라이밍을 소화해 낸다. 이때 배경음악 제목은 잽 맘마(Zap Mama)의 <Ikoiko> 이다.

The song first became popular in 1965 by the girl groupthe Dixie Cups, who scored an international hit with "Iko Iko". In 1967, as part of a lawsuit settlement between Crawford and the Dixie Cups, the trio were given part songwriting credit for the song. Australian entertainer Rolf Harris covered the song in 1965. In 1972, Dr. John had a minor hit with his version of "Iko Iko". In the UK, a version recorded by Scottish singer Natasha England in 1982 made it to the top 10. "Iko Iko" became an international hit twice more, the first being the Belle Stars in June 1982 and again with Captain Jack in 2001. An adaptation by Papua New Guinea artist Justin Wellington under the title "Iko Iko (My Bestie)" featuring the Solomon Island duo Small Jam became an international hit in 2021 after a successful TikTok challenge.
