Delayed Narrator Introduction: Difference between revisions

* The Arnold Schwarzenegger ''[[Conan the Barbarian]]'' film is narrated by [[Mako]]'s character, who Conan meets for the first time partway through. (According to one account, the original plan was for Conan to narrate, but Schwarzenegger's English wasn't up to it.)

* Peter Parker does something like this at the beginning of the first Raimi [[Spider-Man (Film)|Spider-Man]] movie.

* In the film ''[[Gor]]'' the narrator doesn't appear as a character until the end of the film; he's the sequel's [[Big Bad]].

* Sir [[Anthony Hopkins]]'s character in the film ''Alexander'' (about [[Alexander the Great]]). Ptolemy was one of Alexander's generals. The [[Framing Device]] of the movie is Grandpa Ptolemy telling the childern about Alexander because it is the doom of men that they forget. Young Ptolemy did '''no''' narration during the action scenes. Grandpa Ptolemy's function was to tell about '''big''' battles which would be too expensive to show.
