Part of the perks of being a spy are the toys, and the Mission: Impossible franchise has had its fair share of delightful gadgets that have helped Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and his IMF team overcome their impossible missions. The newest installment, Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation opens today, and while it has its fair share of nifty tech (my favorite is an auto-lockpick), we decided to look back at the gadgets of the first four movies. They range from the ultra-futuristic to something you could find at a joke and hobby shop.

Watch the video below to check the Top 10 Mission: Impossible gadgets.  Also, in case you've missed them, click on the respective links for my retrospective pieces on Mission: Impossible, Mission: Impossible II, Mission: Impossible III, and Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol.
