What is the "rabbit foot" that Ethan pursues in Mission Impossible 3?

The rabbit's foot in the film implies a raw material for making nuclear weapons, a weapon that can destroy the world. At the beginning of the film, it is mentioned that the weapons developed by human beings that can destroy the world can be anti-god. "

The detailed explanation is as follows:

1. In Mission Impossible 3, the "rabbit's foot" stolen from a Shanghai laboratory by an agent played by Tom Cruise is the key to the plot. The film implies that it is an "anti-god" that destroys human civilization, smuggled to a terrorist country in the Middle East, and is the raw material for making nuclear weapons.

2. As for the rabbit's foot, it was actually when the script was still being written, because I couldn't think of anything more "heavyweight" than the previous two episodes (the first episode was a list of all agents, and the second episode was a virus), so the screenwriter temporarily used "rabbit's foot", and when he had a mature idea, he could easily replace it with the name of that thing.

But until the shooting, they didn't know what to grab, and at the same time they thought it was a mystery not to say so, so they didn't waste their time, so they used rabbit feet.

Extended data:

Rabbit foot is a cultural symbol in western culture. In the Middle Ages, there was a legend in England that if someone was evil by evil spirits, he could protect himself by hanging a rabbit's left hind leg around his neck at midnight when the moon was full.

Moreover, different rabbit parts have different protective uses. So westerners think that rabbit feet represent "luck". Often called "lucky rabbit's foot".
