Line 1: {{trope}} [[File:tarentino-~~trunkshots_9938~~trunkshots 9938.jpg\|thumb\|350px\|[[Quentin Tarantino]] loves this trope.]] Usually deployed in any movie which involves a character placing or retrieving something in the trunk (boot, if you're using British English) of a car. POV will usually be from within the trunk looking up at the character opening it. Line 27: == Live Action TV == * ''[[Supernatural (TV series)\|Supernatural]]'' ~~-- the~~—the Winchesters keep their weapons in the trunk, and so represents their "family business." The last shot of the pilot is a dramatic trunk shot with the trunk slamming shut serving as a cut to black. Also an example of [[Book Ends]], as season 2 ends with the exact same shot, and line ("Let's get to work."). * ''[[It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia]]'' uses this trope in "Paddy's Pub: The Worst Bar in Philadelphia" Given the [[Accidental Kidnapping\|context]], it may be an additional shout-out to Tartatino's films in general * ''[[Life On Mars]]'': Gene Hunt does this to Sam Tyler at least once.
