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.

 

{{examples}}

== 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.

** And with this, it manages both [[Riding Into the Sunset]] and [[Fly At The Camera]] at the same time.

*** And [[Book Ends]] nicely with the first time we see the ship in the movie...a piece of the ship breaks off, and Mal says, "What was that?"

* ''[[Batman Forever]]'' and ''[[Batman and Robin (film)|Batman and Robin]]'' both end with Batman and co. running past a light to the camera in homage to the beginning of the 1960's series

* ''[[Batman Begins]]'' ends with Batman swinging off a rooftop and into 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.

* ''[[Batman: Mask of the Phantasm]]'' ends with Batman swinging towards the screen and then a little bit to the up and left (so technically its last shot is of Batman's armpit.)

* ''[[The Simpsons]]'' episode "Bye Bye, Nerdie" ends with Francine (a girl bully in which Lisa befriends in the episode who for some reason attacks only nerds and no one else because she is attracted to their sweat glands, and later on Lisa uses her for her science project because of this) charging at the camera after beating up several scientists at a science fair.
