Top 30 Legendary Movie and TV Entrances

[@glennwatkins8496]

My father took my mom out on a date, when he came home he walked in the door and said, "Boys grab your coats!" He took my brother and I to the theater and we watched the first Star Wars movie. It was the most incredible movie experience I have ever had. It was so far ahead of its time with the special effects and story line. I feel privileged to have been one of those who had the chance to see it when it first came out. By the way I have never seen my dad excited about a movie either before or after. It was awesome!

[@iindium49]

The original star wars. My uncle said in the theaters when the ship flew past in the first seconds of the film he thought. " thats a big ship. " then a few seconds later when the star destroyer keeps flying overhead and just kept coming he said. " Oh no, thats the big ship!"

[@davideyres955]

I was 7 years old in 1977 when Star Wars came out and got to see it at an old style huge cinema. The initial scene with the Star destroyer was literally jaw dropping.

[@speedythree]

I had the same experience, magnified because the movie was being played in a 785 seat, single screen theatre and the only seat I could get was down in the front row!

[@sherrieludwig508]

Saw it from the first row of the balcony of an old movie palace type theater in 1977. The opening was indeed jaw dropping, but the reaction when they make the first jump to hyperspace I felt the whole balcony move and everyone slammed into their seat backs like we were on the Falcon.

[@trevinormandy14520]

I was five years old I don’t remember much but I do remember that opening sequence of the star destroyer. My mum and dad took me to the movies, mom fell asleep during the movie I was wide awake and my dad helped me understand some things that I didn’t stand at the time.

[@namelessdrifter651]

Trinity's entrance in the Matrix is also amazing.

[@kyze8284]

I gotta admit, as a kid I never understood Gimli yelling threats at Aragorn coming back and then nearly breaking down but as an adult who’s lost friends, I would absolutely do that if they walked up the porch after I thought I saw them meet their end

[@gregorturner9421]

little known fact is that the MCU wouldn't have existed without blade. Whilst it wasn't a huge success, it did make a profit, money the production company needed after selling off their best IP (spiderman) It proved that comic book live action movies could be profitable and so they started planning the MCU, Ironman came out and pretty much set the benchmark for the rest, many consider Blade as the foundation like a building upon everything else was built.

[@switters8679]

Your grasp of what a fact is, is tenuous at best. You do realize there are well known interviews where this topic is discussed? Of course not. It takes a 5 second google search to figure out you are a pile of garbage. Good luck sloshing your way through life.

[@jarrodmelson7802]

And Blade holds up. Give me any rainy afternoon and if Blade is randomly on TBS or something, I’m watching Blade.

[@Division_78]

I hate when people say Wick did it all over the dog. It was what the dog represented. His wife sent him a puppy after her death so he wouldn’t be lonely and forget how to love. He’s an assassin, I bet that was the first time he ever cried.

[@TheWerequat]

I'd take that bet.

[@phoenixroberts6986]

I was there in 1977: "It was TOTALLY awesome!"

[@KeithOlson]

"You should not have come back." said Darth Vader, calmly.

[@bushstalker]

Well let me tell you. Watching that star destroyer fill the screen in a big theater. It was awesome. You really didn't think about what you were seeing, you just gawked at it and your brain went WOW!

[@speedythree]

Another great entrance was when Steve Rogers interrupted the attack on Wanda Maximoff and Vision in “Avengers : Infinity War.”

[@nickcifarelli8887]

Rogue One is, imo, the most realistic entry in the saga. Everyone dies, its not all warm and cuddly. And yes, Darth Vaders entrance at the end was fkn spectacular.

[@Wezqu]

The entrance is spectacular and not just because it shows how deadly he is but also because the rebels who know they are going to die and still not giving an inch of that hallway without him having to take it. Even when they get disarmed nobody backs away except the one who tries to get the gun of the guy at the door with the plans and get slammed to the wall as the reward of his effort.

[@jackiegillies4165]

I had the privilege of seeing Star Wars A New Hope, at Grahmans Chinese Theater in Hollywood. With the advanced sound of the time. I was 10!

[@clocutron]

I was 6 at the time but that theater experience pretty much defined how I would view films for the rest of my life.

[@craigparse1439]

Wow.. we're the same age... It was a life-changing experience.

[@TheOx_88]

Blade’s entrance is iconic

[@ThemeOfSecrets]

Darth Vader's entrance...yup it was all that. And yes, the opening scene with the star destroyer se the tone. I was 11 and we got to the theater late. It was in NYC. The only seats available were up front. No one wanted to sit there because it was an IMAX sized screen. So I was literally in the front row looking up at the start destroyer as it came on screen. It extended outside of my field of vision. Indelible.

[@Thurgosh_OG]

Blade was not hunting and killing "his own people". He's a half vampire and half human, killing pure blood and turned vampires.

[@dennismokry258]

I always get chills in Ghostbusters when the firehouse doors open and you first hear the growl of Ecto1’s engine before it tears out with the sirens kicking in. May not be the hero, anti-hero, villain, or even true character in normal sense; but all true fans of the Ghostbusters adore that caddy hearse and count it as part of the team.

[@michaelbjrklund9304]

Watched it in 1977. My reaction... wow Wow WOw WOW YAYAYAYA both with the intro of the film and the intro of DV!

[@repaductionsllc1130]

Since you asked; Although Jaws is credited with creating the Summer Blockbuster, you must remember film releases were already set, so the summer of 1977 was not looking to be special. I only saw Star Wars because I had nothing else to do that afternoon. I took in an early afternoon show- and sat through it three times. They didn't kick you out in those days. I did not move from my seat. The only reason I did not stay for the late show; my eyes could not take anymore. It was spectacular.

[@StephenBrasel]

Great list, I'd also add: V for Vendetta: The V Speech. Death (Supernatural)

I recall reading Harry Potter growing up but the book that held my attention the most had to be Goblet of Fire. I started reading it in elementary school when AR (Accelerated reading) was a program for my area. We had to read on our own or have our parents sign off on our time read. I came in with over 10 hours per day read because I was so transfixed on the story. 10/10 I'd read again.

[@alexzandraepeters1846]

I would add jessica rabbit's entrance.. and what an entrance it was

[@Iggybart05]

ok it's criminal that castiel's entrance wasn't included in this list.

[@Thatsdecember]

Thor’s entrance in Infinity War is insane!

[@Zurround]

For Terminator I actually enjoyed his 2nd movie entrance more. There was so much more action with him demolishing an entire biker bar and the scene where he killed the 3 punks in the first movie was pretty brief. Plus I like that he did not kill anyone. Made it obvious he would be the hero this time around.

[@Cr4zyKm4n]

I was lucky to win a ticket on a radio show to go to the premiere of Star wars new hope at the Empire Cinema in Leicester Square in July 1977.. I was 16 at the time, it was the most amazing experience I had ever had and to see the opening scene is something I will never forget, even now at 63 I still remember it and the reaction of the audience. It was truly a massive step in cinematography

[@bjleifheit1526]

I can tell you first hand what it was like watching Star Wars for the first time in 1977, sitting in the back seat of a Datsun B210 at the drive-in movies, watching out the windshield between my older sibs, I was 11, I actually looked out the back window to see if the Star Destroyer was coming from behind us. My sibs had already sen it once and were waiting to see how I would react to the opening. Yup I'm that old.

[@brianjones7907]

How can you leave out the first enterance of an icon on to the Big Screen , The names Bond James Bond , I give you Sean Connery ...

[@michaelbrown-bs4iv]

re:seeing sw iv when it was released. awesome. i still have the "may the force be with you button" that was given away at the showing at edwards newport cinema (at the time, one of the largest screens on the west coast)

[@elrictaleweaver]

First introduction of Castiel in Supernatural was pretty badass. Disappointed it didn't make this list

[@kadenschropp9321]

not just the 70's Anakin/Darth Vader is the greatest movie villain of all time!

[@Thurgosh_OG]

Are you talking about 1977 or the Rogue One entrance?

[@Zetto-n9e]

Se7en was a masterpiece

[@annahoward3627]

Nightcrawler at 19?!?! That was one of the best entrances ever put to film! 😱

[@Catsclaw-ru6zw]

Hayden shouldn't have been given grief to me he was perfect to play Anakin/Darth Vader.

[@whitegryphon2022]

We were totally awestruck my guy!

[@goatkiller666]

I missed the original release of Star Wars, sadly. But just before Empire was released, my local cinema did a re-release of Star Wars, including a super-length trailer for Empire at the end. Not exactly an end-credit scene, but the ancestor of one. The theatre was packed… it was 1980, and VCRs hadn’t been invented… nobody had seen any of these characters in like 3yrs. We all needed a refresher before seeing Empire. I remember playing the audio… thing. Not just the music tracks, all the audio from the movie. We made due. And when “and Special Guest Star Billy Dee Williams” appeared, the crowd went nuts. Not that ep4 had NO named stars in it… Alec Guinness and Peter Cushing had real clout. But most of the famous people in that movie are famous because of that movie.

[@peterboyle5421]

I'll tell you what watching the premier of Star Wars (San Diego) was like, when the Death Star blew up, the whole audience cheered.

Any and all of the Darth Vader scenes, the entrance of Luke Skywalker, and Indy Jones beats the pants off your number 1/Avengers scene IMHO. But that is just an opinion :-) Thans for the video

[@donsandsii4642]

Star Wars ran here an entire year. Sold out many times

[@MrReef90]

24:55 Keanu Reeves is a bad ass on screen and a nice guy off screen. 35:21 best darth vader entrance.

[@JadusMoltriel]

Only one Lord of the Rings scene? Wow. Theoden and the Rohirrim entering the Battle of the Pelenor Fields in Return of the King? The Balrog entering the chasm to face Gandalf. Smaug's scene in Hobbit trilogy was great, as was the moment in Battle of Five Armies when King Thorin and his company finally joined the battle with the giant bell breaking the wall and ringing. You should've mentioned at least a couple of those. Thanos 1000% deserved a spot on this list. Emperor Palpatine's entrance in Return of the Jedi, as well as Yoda's entrance to confront him in Revenge of the Sith, both were great. Darth Maul igniting his double-blade and Yoda's first on screen fight vs Dooku were also MAJOR cinematic events with reactions similar to Avenger's Assemble. Maybe list a couple of those rather than mentioning Vader THREE times. Hulk's entrance and subsequent ass-whooping at the hands of Thanos in beginning of Infinity War was an imprinted memory in cinema, as well, although you could include that for a Thanos entrance. For Dark Knight, I feel his entrance at the end to defeat Bane, after escaping prison with a broken back, was bigger than in the beginning of the movie. Black Adam had an amazing entrance in his film, which get's forgotten too much. Very fun character to watch. Glad you had Dr Lecter. How about Simba returning to face Scar in original Lion King? I know, it's animated, but still... I could go on and on. Some of the ones you did list I don't think deserved to be above the ones I just listed, but hey, it's opinion.

[@higgydufrane]

Nightcrawler was one of the best scenes ever....

[@sogman808]

Sorry to point it out, but for David Bowie his surname is pronunciated like "arrow and Bow-e" not "David Bow at the King-e". David (arrow) Bowie .. and he always rocks

[@Thurgosh_OG]

He's been known as '(Take a ) B-oww-ee' in the UK since he became really big in 1972. That's over 50s years, so we're not likely to change it now. And that's despite me knowing that David himself said in an interview that it should be Bow(and arrow)ee.

[@JustTanya.]

Definitely going to need a part 2 because I'm also thinking of Yennefer's entrance from The Witcher after she gets her glam up. Also, Drogo's appearance from GOT after he's all grown up and Daenerys first gets to ride him for the first time. And if we're going to talk about Vader's entrance, I think honorable mention should also go to Dark Helmet from Spaceballs as well. 🤣🤣🤣

[@DCUOArsenic]

Not having Dune 2 Pauls arrival in the South not here is an actual war crime. If you doubt and haven't seen the movie look it up.

[@nirfz]

What about Leon (the professional) or Sauron in the Lord of the Rings the fellowship in the epilog upfront when the battle of the last aliance is shown. That's a bad ass entrance. And as for legendary, as someone mentioned in such a list The Blues Brothers are a must to be included too!

[@SamTAnderson]

The music volume is all over the place on this one. Maybe try to balance it better.

[@varashamus7633]

No one in the sequels or prequels of Star Wars was great. And only in the episode where Luke died was the full awesomeness shown...and dying after a fight is not an entrance. It is an impactful exit.
