Line 47:
** ''[[Revenge of the Sith]]'' starts in the middle of the battle for Coruscant.
** ''[[A New Hope]]'' starts with the famous shot of the Star Destroyer chasing the ''Tantive IV''.
** ''[[The Last Jedi]]'' kicks things off by having a base evacuated shortly before it gets destroyed by the First Order.
* All of the ''[[Indiana Jones]]'' films.
** Though the one in ''[[Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull|The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull]]'' connected to the main plot.
Line 83 ⟶ 84:
* It's not strictly an "action-packed" movie, but ''[[Purple Rain]]'' gets off to quite a heady start. Director Albert Magnoli literally does not waste even one second plunging us into the story: the Warner Brothers studio logo has not even faded from the screen yet before the strains of a synthesizer played by "Doctor Fink" (a character in the movie) are heard in the distance and the voice of the (yet unseen) master of ceremonies at the First Avenue Nightclub is heard calling out: "Ladies and gentlemen....The Revolution!" (What follows is some of the best [[Crowning Music of Awesome]] in movie musical history.)
* ''[[The Avengers (film)|The Avengers]]'' begins with the [[Big Bad]] popping up to steal the [[MacGuffin]], fighting several government agents in the process before leading into a car chase. This is before the title even appears onscreen.
