* ''Franchise/JurassicPark'': All the movies have a big breakout scene where all the dinosaurs are loose and chaos ensues.
** The original ''Film/JurassicPark1993'' movie has the Tyrannosaurus escape scene. As all the dinosaurs thus far had been in contained enclosures, seeing the largest carnivore on the park loose is a good show of how out of control things have gotten.
** ''Film/TheLostWorldJurassicPark'' has the parent Rex encounter that sees the vehicles the good guys had been using go tumble off a cliff and Eddie's death. Without technology or anyone who could fix them, both the team and Ingen team must work together to find a way to connect with their escape vehicles.

* ''Film/GodzillaVsKong'' has the rematch between the two title characters in Hong Kong at night. Even though it's not the climax, it's the film's longest and most intricately-choreographed battle in the most eye-catching location.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheLandBeforeTime'' has the first Sharptooth encounter. A big set piece that involves the first real touch with danger Littlefoot and Cera see as they are hunted by the vicious predator and protected by his mother as the ground splits apart in a massive earthquake. That Littlefoot's mother dies in the aftermath cements that his journey will be an arduous one without guidance. Later encounters with the Sharptooth are more tense affairs as they must deal the predator without the help of someone actually capable of harming him.

* ''Film/{{Predator}}'': Uses the compound confrontation with the rebels. With bloodshot machismo perforating every bullet shot and one liner, it does a very good job of establishing the impressive strength and firepower that the team has as they carve through a small army. It also has the effect of showing how out of nowhere the Predator comes out, as its presence instantly turns the movie inside out.

* ''Film/CastAway'': The plane crash is used for one, with spectacle not seen elsewhere as Chuck struggles to survive before being plunged into the ocean depths. It serves as an interesting turning point between his normal life before and the crushing isolation Chuck faces afterward.

* ''WesternAnimation/Shrek1'' uses the dungeon to rescue Princess Fiona as one, fitting for being a parody of fairy tales. An intense chase sequence to survive a dragon's wrath would usually be the final climactic piece of most stories is the middle part here where the plot turns on its head and becomes a romantic comedy.

* ''Film/{{Zoolander}}'': The walkway showdown between Derek and Hansel about halfway through. It seems pretty climactic, but soon after, Derek's role in Mugatu's EvilPlan becomes more important to the plot than his rivalry with Hansel.

* ''VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiSuperstarSaga'' has the battle against Cackletta, the BigBad who kickstarted the adventure by stealing Princess Peach's voice. After Cackletta's defeat, the Mario Bros. are requested to escort Princess Peach through the Beanbean Kingdom as she arrives on a diplomatic visit. [[spoiler: Cackletta's possession of Bowser and subsequent kidnapping of Peach sets up the antagonist for the remainder of the game]]. [[https://johnnyappleshy.blogspot.com/2015/08/illusion-of-length-analysis-of-pacing.html This blog post]] notes that as a result of this centerpiece, ''Superstar Saga'' feels more like two major plot arcs rather than one, giving the game an illusion of greater length without FakeLongevity.
