I was actually always a big fan of Kevin Costner's Waterworld's opening with Universal. It showed the globe then it flooded the crap out of it.

That was probably the best part of the movie unfortunately.

Surprised that wasn't included on this collage.

The OLDEST one I can remember was "Cat Ballou" (1965)

I remember "Waterworld".....good call, it just means that there are plenty more out there to do a follow-up vid to this one.

first ten minutes of waterworld including the opening.

Loved the music from Kick-Ass.

What about the first Indy movie? Need more!

Ah hah! Now we know who that girl is. You should submit it!

I can remember a opening of Universal where the planet dries out. But I can't remember the movie :-(

Argh, no! Sorry, but one of my pet peeves is giving musical credit to whom it's due in film scoring... Adagio in D Minor was first written by Underworld and John Murphy specifically for the OST of the magnificent and underrated film Sunshine by Danny Boyle.

It has since been "stolen" to score a myriad of other films/trailers/series (e.g. Kick-Ass, The Adjustment Bureau, Fringe, etc etc). It has a history akin to Clint Mansell's RFaD score; created with a specific film in mind, beautifully fitting, then reused for other films with mixed results. I love it when great music gets around, but I do find it a bizarre experience when I'm watching a film and all of a sudden the music of another comes on... kind of breaks the suspension of disbelief quite frankly.
/nerd rant

edit: "Super" > Kick-Ass (even though the latter was a fun watch too)

But Sunshine was a crappy film, while Kick-Ass was awesome!
Also,, John Murphy redid the music for Kick-Ass, as you can hear that this version is different (in the small details) than the Sunshine one - at least the one you linked.

You've rang a very faint bell in my memory bank. I did a search (even going as far as looking up EVERY film the studio has made on Wikipedia to see if it would kick-start my brain).... but NOPE, nothing. I thought it might have been "Dune", but alas, no :-(

I think you're both thinking of Doom, where the Earth fades into Mars.

sunshine is an awesome movie!

I instantly think of The Matrix when you talk about modified movie openings.

Serenity was the first one I thought of... cool. One of the very TV-to-movie transitions I've seen.

By far, the most memorable intro for me was "Coming to America" which transitions from Paramount to Zamunda.

Yet ANOTHER good find, all of the suggestions around here tell me that there's plenty of these to be (potentially) made yet.

Thanks.

This reminded me of the Family Guy bit with studio logos

Why wold they include the Indiana Jones from hell but leave out the part 1-3?

Ralph Wiggum in the 20th Century Fox logo of The Simpsons Movie should definitely have been included.

What? Nobody mentioned the Cannonball Run?

Wow, this is such a tiny, tiny sampling. It's done all the time, just two more off the top of my head... Harry Potter (all of them I think), Chronicals of Narnia: The voyage of the dawn treader... does a nice blend of the Walden logo into a stain glass window. And yeah, as mentioned, how the hell can they include the LAST Indiana and not the iconic opening of the first?




Oh, and Sunshine was a shit film. Was built up by so many and yet failed to deliver on pretty much every point. So many other sci fi films had done it all before, and far better.
