* A huge alien spacecraft, accompanied by much smaller fighters, looms slowly into shot over Moonbase Alpha in the ''Series/Space1999'' episode ''War Games''. It is possible that George Lucas was influenced by this sequence as he was impressed by the special effects being used on the show and visited the studios during its production.

** ''VideoGame/HaloInfinite'' opens similarly to ''Combat Evolved'', with the ''Infinity'' floating by as it approaches Zeta Halo -- but immediately after it enters the frame, it quickly gets pulverized by a fleet of Banished warships.

* ''Series/UltramanTiga'''s opening sequence features a showcase of Earth Defence Force GUTS's various vehicles (and a few shots of the eponymous Ultraman). The centerpiece, however, is the [[FighterLaunchingSequence launch sequence]] of GUTS' mothership ''Artdessei'', which is interspersed throughout the opening, and culminates with her takeoff just as the theme song swells into its chorus. The classic underbelly shot is the very next one, with the ocean below and the shore on the horizon. Very much appropriate, as her design is essentially a cross between a Star Destroyer and a whale.

The classic underbelly shot is the very next one, with the ocean below and the shore on the horizon. Then finally, a frontal shot of her climbing into orbit with the Earth in the background, before Tiga takes centre stage.

* The TropeCodifier is ''Franchise/StarWars Episode IV: Film/ANewHope'', which began with a Star Destroyer chasing Leia's much smaller ship. The scene is helped by the wedge-shaped design of the Star Destroyer making it appear larger and larger as it comes into the audiences' view.
