* ''[[Armageddon (Film)|Armageddon]]'' has an awesome one. [[The Hero|Bruce Willis]] needs to assemble his [[The Magnificent Seven Samurai|Magnificent Team]] of [[Ragtag Bunch of Misfits|Ragtag Roughnecks]], but "once they get off the rig, [[Let's Split Up Gang|they scatter]]." The ensuing montage shows FBI agents tracking each member to his natural habitat: |

* The failed pilot for a parody of ''[[Mission Impossible (TV)|Mission Impossible]]'', ''Inside O.U.T.'' had a such a sequence for members of the [[Fun With Acronyms|Office of Unusual Tasks]]. The most memorable was the agent whose cover was as a civilian flying instructor. When he got the call, he told his student something along the lines of, "You're going to solo a bit ahead of schedule," and bailed out of the plane. |

* The ''[[Doctor Who]]'' episode [[Doctor Who/Recap/S32 E7 A Good Man Goes to War|"A Good Man Goes to War"]] has a sequence of the Doctor rounding up his allies for a mission. There are quick scenes of them all going about their business (nursing soldiers on a battlefield, {{spoiler|KILLING JACK THE RIPPER}}, etc.), only to come home and discover a big blue box on their doorstep. [[Recap/Doctor Who S 32 E 3 Day Of The Moon|"The second episode of the same season"]] begins with 3 of the main characters being killed one-by-one by another character. Only afterwards do we find out this was all an elaborate plan to gather the team together. |

* ''[[The West Wing]]'' does this in the very first episode. Toby, C.J., Josh and Sam each appears in a short character-establishing scene, receiving a text message at the end that says, "POTUS in a bicycle accident." The final scene reveals that POTUS stands for "President of the United States," and that the characters we've just seen all work for him. |
