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. The point of view will usually be from within the trunk looking up at the character opening it.▼

==
* ''[[Meet The Robinsons]]''. A [[Shout Out]] to Tarantino in a ''Disney'' film. With frogs.▼
==Live Action Films==▼
* ''[[He Walked By Night]]'' : Credited with being the first film to use this trope.
* ''[[Goodfellas]]''
* Every [[Quentin Tarantino]] movie ever:
** ''[[Jackie Brown]]''
** ''[[Kill Bill]]''
** ''[[Pulp Fiction]]''
** ''[[Reservoir Dogs]]''
** ''[[From Dusk
** ''[[Grindhouse|Death Proof]]'' ([[Inverted Trope|Inverted]], this one is actually a shot from under the '''front hood''' of a car).
** ''[[Inglourious Basterds]]''
*
* ''[[Laid
* ''[[Hot Fuzz]]''. Also an intentional [[Shout
* In ''[[Supernatural]]'', the Winchesters keep their weapons in the trunk, and so it 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/theme ("We've got work to do.").▼
* ''[[It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia]]'' uses this trope in "Paddy's Pub: The Worst Bar in Philadelphia" Given the [[AccidentalKidnapping 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.▼
* Pilot episode of ''[[The Streets of San Francisco]]'' (1972) contains one near the end of an episode, when Stone, Keller and Malone find a chest with victim's belongings.▼
