Mission: Impossible II

   Say what you want about Mission Impossible 2, but it set a precedent for the series: each installment would have its own tone and style, reinventing the formula instead of repeating it. And even the weird over-the-top John Woo stuff can make sense in-universe.

   The events of a film are canon, the directing isn't. In this segment of Ethan Hunt's life, the producers knew there would be doves, and some randomly exploding motorcycles, so they hired John Woo to direct. Makes perfect sense.
