Dynamic Entries in Live-Action Films.
- Grid Alien in AVP: Alien vs. Predator, bringing the awesome level up by combining it with Impaled with Extreme Prejudice.
- Brannigan (1975) opens with John Wayne kicking down the door and saying "Knock, knock!"
- A variant in Cannonball Run II during the big fight scene, Capt Chaos leaps from a high area down to a bunch of mooks crushing them under his weight and knocking most of them out cold.
- A vehicular example from Commando, as Matrix is in dire need of guns before riding off to save his daughter, he busts into a shop by driving through the front door with a bulldozer.
- DC Extended Universe:
- As soon as Man of Steel, Superman normally starts a fight by slamming into his enemies at Super-Speed.
- Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice:
- Batman entering the warehouse of Lex Lutho's goons through a window, blowing up a hole in the ground under them and throwing small sticky bombs on their guns to disarm them.
- Can't forget a certain wondrous lady's entrance
.
- Wonder Woman: Diana bursting through a wall and kicking a German soldiers squad's collective butts.
- Zack Snyder's Justice League: During the Final Battle, Cyborg is too busy trying to separate the Mother Boxes and Steppenwolf is about to strike... then something bodyblocks his electro-axe like it's nothing... it's SUPERMAN! With a glorious fanfare to boot.
- In Equilibrium, Preston makes his entrance by having two SWAT team members shoot the hinges off a door as he leaps at it, timing it so that he kicks in the hingeless door and slides into the pitch black room, into the midst of a dozen or so men armed with automatic weaponry. They stop shooting, the whole room goes dark, and for a moment we think nothing's going to happen.... then there's a 30 second scene comprised entirely of muzzle flashes illuminating Preston blowing all of his enemies away with no effort whatsoever.Mook 1: ...where is he?
Mook 2: Shut up!
Mook 1: ...he's got to be here somewhere.
Mook 2: Shut up...
(Bang, Bang, BANG) - In the Fist of the North Star live-action movie, this occurs to great effect. As a pair of Zeed's thugs take a woman into a house to be raped, Kenshiro kicks through the freaking wall and dislocates a thug's jaw, knocking him out, in the funniest moment in the movie.
- Played straight (heh, heh) in Jackass 2, "The Diamond Robbers." No, they didn't hit anyone, but Entry has never been so Dynamic for these office rats!
- The Hobbit: Gandalf's appearance in Goblin-Town is basically a magic nuke that sucks all the sound out of the room and sends Goblins flying.
- Referred to as "the element of surprise" in Inspector Gadget (1999). The surprise, in this case, being the Gadgetmobile slamming into the back of Claw's limo.
- In Kamen Rider Decade: Final Chapter, after being overwhelmed by Doras, Decade, Diend, Kivala and Kuuga receive aid from their Alternate Universe allies (the rest of the Heisei Riders). They all come in attacks blazing, destroying all of Doras' monster mooks in the process.
- Kamen Rider Fourze makes his debut in Kamen Rider OOO Wonderful: The Shogun and the 21 Core Medals by knocking Gara off his feet by coming down in a fireball like a meteor to help the outmatched OOO turn the tide.
- The fight between The Bride and Elle Driver in Kill Bill Volume 2 starts off with this.
- Lucky Number Slevin features The Fairy's bodyguards, ex-Mossad agents who enter the scene after a panic button has been pressed. Their mission: Kill anyone but The Fairy.
- At the end of Lockout, Snow arrives suddenly to grab Hydell's knife in his hand (OWCH!) before he stabs Emilie and then proceeds to punch Hydell in the face.
- Marvel Cinematic Universe
- The Avengers:
- Dynamic Entries are Iron Man's trademark. It's easier to list the times he hasn't done one. Though no matter how often he does it, it never gets old or repetitive. He's just awesome that way.Thor: You listen well, brother. I... [knocked off the cliff by Iron Man arriving]
Loki: [shrugging nonchalantly and still looking at the spot Thor was just occupying] I'm listening. - Prior to that, Captain America gives us a pretty damn good Dynamic Entry when he jumps in to deflect an energy blast from Loki's staff with his shield to save an old German man who refused to bow before the villainous demigod.
- Iron Man appearing on the scene, knocking Loki down and hijacking the Quinjet's computer to do a Theme Music Power-Up just for the full effect.
- Thor does a couple too. First on the SHIELD helicarrier, when he saves the Black Widow from the Hulk, as he's the only Avenger capable of going toe-to-toe with the rage monster (being an alien demigod and all). During the final battle, he appears on the scene first as bolts of lightning frying a bunch of Chitauri soldiers and then Thor himself descending. Hell, Thor's hammer does this during his fight with the Hulk. Thor summons the Mjölnir and, as soon as it's in his hand, he uppercuts the Hulk with it in slow-mo fashion.
- Dynamic Entries are Iron Man's trademark. It's easier to list the times he hasn't done one. Though no matter how often he does it, it never gets old or repetitive. He's just awesome that way.
- Thor: The Dark World: Thor's no slouch when it comes to making an entrance. Perfection..
- Captain America: The Winter Soldier:
- The sudden appearance of the Winter Soldier and sudden death of Agent Sitwell count as this.
- Cap bursts in the last second to save Black Widow from the eponymous villain during the highway chase.
- Captain America: Civil War:
- Spider-Man makes his appearance by swinging in and stealing Cap's shield, before giving a casual greeting.Spider-Man: Hey everyone.
- Bucky meets T'Challa by getting jumped by him while he's running away.
- Spider-Man makes his appearance by swinging in and stealing Cap's shield, before giving a casual greeting.
- Subverted in Thor: Ragnarok as Bruce Banner tries to jump down into the action thinking he'll transform when he lands... it doesn't work the way he planned.
- Avengers: Infinity War:
- After Thanos has taken over the ship that escaped from Asgard at the end of Ragnarok, there's a tense moment where Loki appears to be handing the Tesseract over to Thanos. Then Loki quips "We have a Hulk," which is the Big Guy's cue to charge in from off-screen and knock Thanos flat on his ass.
- Spider-Man's Just in Time appearance.
- Falcon's first scene is him delivering a flying kick to Proxima Midnight.
- Tony saying hello to Thanos with a massive pillar.
- Nebula enters the fight against Thanos on Titan by crashing a spaceship into him.
- Thor enters the fight against Thanos's army by riding the bifrost into the middle of the field, taking out the Outriders pinning down his allies with a single throw of Stormbreaker, and then unleashing a massive lightning-laced blow that kills hundreds more.
- Captain Marvel makes a similar entry in Avengers: Endgame, this one was enough to make even Thanos make an Oh, Crap! face.
- Spider-Man: No Way Home: The Green Goblin blows up a bunch of stuff before finally emerging from the smoke, in full armor, cackling maniacally. As he immediately quilts to strike down Spider-Man and Doctor Octopus, Doctor Strange intervenes with a convenient portal, effectively ending the skirmish.
- The Avengers:
- Hilariously subverted in Memento, a movie otherwise steeped in serious Film Noir. Leonard knocks on a guy's hotel room door, and kicks the door open and knocks him out as soon as he looked through the peep-hole. Then Leonard looks at the unconscious man, and realizes that he just kicked in the wrong door.
- The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc: Done by Jean D'Arc with a siege tower of all things, much to the surprise of the English.
- MonsterVerse:
- Taken to awesome levels in Godzilla. First comes in a massive tsunami that floods Honolulu. At the flooded airport, we get a shot of Godzilla's massive foot, then Godzilla in full view roars at his opponent. He did this again when facing off with the female Muto.
- Kong: Skull Island: After the Skull Devil awakens and begins pursuing the cast, Kong recovers and enters the Final Battle almost from out of nowhere, literally leaping into shot with a boulder held above his head which he smashes against the Skull Devil's face.
- Godzilla: King of the Monsters:
- The very first sign of a squadron of fighter jets pulling a Gunship Rescue in Antarctica when Ghidorah is menacing the human cast is several aerial missiles exploding in Ghidorah's middle and left faces. The squadron and the Argo are seen emerging through the clouds a second later.
- Godzilla does it twice against Ghidorah in this film. First, when Ghidorah is pursuing the Argo above the ocean in Mexico, Godzilla blindsides the three-headed monster from out of nowhere, dragging it into the water where Godzilla has a Homefield Advantage. Then later, when King Ghidorah is about to atomize Madison for using the ORCA to cross him, she's saved by a powerful Atomic Breath coming out of nowhere that launches even Ghidorah's 500-foot body away! Way to start the Final Battle.
- Mothra enters the Battle of Boston by divebombing Ghidorah and gluing his heads to a building with her webbing. Rodan then makes his entrance by divebombing her shortly thereafter.
- Jackie Chan drives a big earth mover truck into the Big Bad's house at the end of Mr. Nice Guy, effectively bringing the whole building down.
- The steroid-popping Dragon from Ong-Bak ambushes Tony Jaa this way when the hero was about to go after his boss.
- This is only fair, as Tony Jaa is a grandmaster of this technique and uses it in both Ong-Bak (outside the cave), and even more impressively in Tom Yum Goong / The Protector (party club on the river).
- Possibly Mr. Jaa's crowning achievement in the field, from Tom-Yum-Goong / The Protector: flying knee dominoes◊!
- Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End:
- Jack's cannonball stunt, except no one gets hurt in the process and it doubles as a Dynamic Exit.
- Jack's method of getting down from a ship's yardarm: rope. Davy Jones' method: jump.
- In Resident Evil: Apocalypse, Alice enters a church on a motorcycle...through the stained-glass window twenty feet off the ground. How she got there is never explained, but her entry results in dead monsters.
- The Return of the Pink Panther: Either reminiscent of or the inspiration for Rorscharch's Dynamic Fridge on poor Moloch, Kato (having been instructed films ago to keep ambushing Clouseau at any opportunity as training) managed to get the drop on the Sellers character by attacking from the icebox. Being rather cold by then, he was a lot more savage than usual..
- A great example is performed by Buster Keaton in Sherlock, Jr. — he flies from a crashing motorcycle feet-first through a window and kicks a villain in the chest, sending him clear through the opposite wall (at 4:50).
- Done during the final fight in Spy Kids when the Cortezes are about to go at it with the army of robot children, and Machete bursts in through the stained glass window to join the fight.
- Done masterfully by the 1701-E in Star Trek: First Contact when Worf decides to go down fighting by ramming the Critically Damaged U.S.S. Defiant into the Borg Cube and the Big-E turns the Curb-Stomp Battle into their favor.Worf: Then perhaps today is a good day to die! Prepare for ramming speed!
Helmsman: Sir, there's another starship coming in ... it's the Enterprise!- Also done in the reboot Star Trek by Kirk's Enterprise. Captain Nero believes that they had left the Enterprise to pick up its teeth back over Vulcan and starts drilling into Earth. It isn't until the Jellyfish is stolen that Nero realizes they've been boarded. Then, when the Narada fires a Macross Missile Massacre on the Jellyfish, the Enterprise slams out of warp with gun blazing, destroying the Narada's missiles and allowing the Jellyfish to ram the Romulan ship.
- Scorponok gets a very effective one of these in Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen. It makes an awesome return for the character, who hadn't been mentioned since disappearing in the first film, but doesn't end well for him. That scene was actually a Double Dynamic Entry, as just seconds before, Jetfire took out (a?) Mixmaster with one.
- The Transporter series is made of these, sometimes with kicks, and sometimes with cars.
- TRON: Legacy. During the Light Cycle sequence, we get two dynamic entries, within seconds of each other. First, Sam is driving his cycle toward another program to get his cycle-stick-thing to him, when suddenly, Clu ramps his LC on top of the program in question, and he just appears out of nowhere. A few moments later, Quorra bursts into the arena in a Light Runner, and Clu ends up running right into it.
- Played even straighter (heh-eh, heh heh!) in Victor/Victoria when loyal Squash bravely, uh, busts in on King Marchand and "Count Grazinski" in flagrante delicto.
- Yor: The Hunter from the Future has quite possibly the most awesome example in the history of fiction: After the Damsel in Distress gets captured by a group of purple cavemen and dragged to their cave, Yor decides to use the instantly frozen-in-rigor-mortis carcass of a giant bird lizard he killed not five minutes ago to glide in through the entrance to their cave and dropkick a purple caveman in the face, all while his theme music blares up to inform the audience that yes, Yor is, in fact, the man. Just watch it for yourself.
