Line 23:
* In the first ''[[Mission Impossible]]'' movie, there's an epic helicopter shot that pulls up to the Chunnel Train, then through a window into a compartment. There's a similar shot in ''The Birdcage'', starting actoss the ocean, up to Miami Beach, then uninterrupted into Robin William's club.
* A classic example is seen at the start of ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]: [[The Two Towers]]''.
* ''[[Star Trek: First Contact|Star Trek First Contact]]'' began almost inside Captain
* A particularly impressive shot was used for ''[[Treasure Planet]]''. You see a half-moon in the sky and when the characters talk of going to the spaceport the camera then zooms towards the moon and as it gets bigger you see more details and eventually notice that [[That's No Moon|it isn't a moon]], but the spaceport itself shaped like a half moon.

** The second film has a shot which starts with a distant shot of Hogwarts and zooms in through the roof of the greenhouse, revealing Professor Sprout starting the Herbology class.
* Also [[The Oner]], action movie Tom Yum Goong /The Protector/ Warrior King features a four-minute one-shot elaborate fight sequence that reportedly took eight days to get right in which Tony Jaa fights his way up a building.
