Line 15:
Occasionally, the '''Mission Briefing''' will include [[This Page Will Self-Destruct]] and/or [[Obstacle Exposition]]. See also: [[Unspoken Plan Guarantee]].
{{examples}}▼
▲{{examples}}
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* In ''[[Lucky Star]]'' Konata holds a mission briefing with Kagami and Tsukasa before entering Comiket (A large anime/manga convention). Tsukasa fails to follow the plan and soon falls victim to the enemy.
Line 33 ⟶ 32:
** And again in ''[[The Phantom Menace]]'' when R2D2 displays a hologram outlining the palace raid.
* Possibly one of the earliest examples; the model house rehearsal from ''[[The Dirty Dozen]]''. Of course, [[Unspoken Plan Guarantee|because we hear it step by step, it doesn't go exactly as planned]].
* In ''[[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]]'', Woody outlines the toys' attack on Sid, using a model built from dominoes and other objects from Sid's room.
* ''[[Robin Hood]]: Prince of Thieves'', with Kevin Costner explaining how he's going to rescue the prisoners as they're being hanged.
* In both the original ''[[Ocean's Eleven]]'' and the remake Danny explains to the other ten how they plan on pulling off the heist in Las Vegas.
Line 43 ⟶ 42:
== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* The much-parodied tape messages from ''[[Mission: Impossible (TV series)||Mission Impossible]]'':
{{quote|"Your mission, Jim, should you decide to accept it, is to ____________. As always, should you or any of your IM Force be caught or killed, the Secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions. This tape will self-destruct in five seconds. Good luck, Jim."}}
** Parody example: An episode of ''Get Smart'' has Agent Smart's message briefing delivered via tape:
Line 53 ⟶ 52:
** As far as SG-1 is concerned, this is protocol, since it is a military organization, which holds briefings before and debriefings after operations. Atlantis probably follows the same protocols since most of its personnel are in the air force.
* ''[[Dog the Bounty Hunter]]'' has the team gather for these before going after bail jumpers to review the relevant information on them.
* ''[[Battlestar Galactica
** Used notably in episode 1.10 "The Hand of God" to explain to most of the main cast and the audience the plan of attack on a cylon-occupied asteroid.
* Done [[Once an Episode]] on ''[[Leverage]]'' to describe [[The Mark]] and his various evil activities using fancy slideshows, unusual in that it's [[Playful Hacker|Hardison]] who does it instead of Nate, the team's leader. Usually, everyone butts in with their own comments or the character who actually knows what they're talking about takes over the briefing.
Line 91 ⟶ 90:
