Fly At the Camera Ending: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

 

The last scene of the movie is coming to a close. For some reason, something in the scene - perhaps a flying machine, an object, or even a character - decides to start flying, and comes straight at the camera. Just as it's about to "impact", the scene cuts to black and we go to the credits.

Contrast [[Riding Into the Sunset]] where it ends with something moving away from the camera.

== Film ==

* The first ''[[Back to The Future]]'' ends with the DeLorean flying up in the air, turning around, then warping through time just as it hits the camera.

* The end of ''[[The Matrix]]''. Slightly averted as he flies ''by'' the camera before it goes black, thus [[Incredibly Lame Pun|slightly averting]] its path.

* The feather in ''[[Forrest Gump]]''

* ''[[The Evil Dead]]'' inverts this with the camera flying at [[Bruce Campbell]] at the end.

* The ending of ''[[Atlantis: The Lost Empire]]'' (happens right after the [[Book Ends]]), with an Atlantean flying machine obscuring the camera.
