Yeah, saw this and was very, very impressed-Great finale to the episode and this is a very well-acted show with the chemistry between M and H-Have to watch it again now knowing and remembering why this scene was so tight...
Setting up that shot must have been incredible-

Another one that comes to mind was Snake Eyes (1998)
Director: Brian De Palma
Steadicam operator Larry McConkey's 12.5 minute opening steady-cam shot is pretty incredible-An otherwise mediocre film but one of my favorites-Watched the long shot again and and the set-ups pretty insane...

This from the 1984 Brian De Palma film "Body Double" with Craig Wasson and Melanie Griffith. A total homage/rip-off of every Alfred Hitchcock film plot used.

Here is a link to one of the other versions, that was banned here in the US.

From Wiki:


Brian De Palma paid homage to Rear Window with his movie Body Double (which also added touches of Hitchcock's Vertigo). Rear Window was remade as a TV movie in 1998 starring Christopher Reeve. Marcos Bernstein's The Other Side of The Street (2004) also makes a reference to Rear Window, albeit with a Brazilian twist. Animated series such as The Simpsons, Tiny Toon Adventures, Rocket Power, The Venture Bros., and Home Movies have all paid homage to Rear Window. That 70's Show also spoofed the film in the episode "Too Old to Trick or Treat, Too Young to Die" along with other Hitchcock works. Robert Zemeckis' "What Lies Beneath" is another film that pays tribute to this film and another Hitchcock's features.

This movie has been deemed "culturally significant" by the United States Library of Congress and selected for preservation in the National Film Registry. The film was restored by the team of Robert A. Harris and James C. Katz for its 1999 limited theatrical re-release and the Collector's Edition DVD release.

Louis D. Giannetti’s Understanding Movies:

. . . A famous sequence from Potemkin shows three shots of stone lions, one asleep, a second aroused and on the verge of rising, and a third on its feet and ready to spring. Eisentein considered the sequence an embodiment of a metaphor: “The very stones roar.” . . .

4-14a-hhh, A portion of the Odessa Steps sequence from Potemkin. Directed by Sergei Eisenstein. Perhaps the most famous instance of editing virtuosity of the silent cinema, the celebrated Odessa Steps sequence is a brilliant illustration of Eiesentein’s theory of collision montage in practice. The director contrasted lights and darks, vertical lines, with horizontals, lengthy shots with brief ones, close-ups with long shots, static set-ups with traveling shots, and so on.



Netflix’s description of the whole movie:

Propaganda notwithstanding, director Sergei M. Eisenstein's masterwork remains a cinematic landmark, charting events that ultimately led to the Bolshevik Revolution. Fed up with the ship's officers' brutalities and with maggot-infested rations, the crew of the battleship Prince Potemkin revolts. The rebellion ignites an uprising by the citizens of Odessa, resulting in czarist troops' infamous, systematic slaughter of insurgents and bystanders.


Compare the baby carriage scene (beginning around 5:00) to what Brian De Palma did with a baby carriage in this clip:

...The Untouchables: Train Station Shoot-out (9:04)

Brian De Palma took the baby carriage idea from the Odessa steps sequence in Sergei Eisenstein's silent movie "Potemkin."
