Max - that's not quite what I meant. Darth Maul is seen throughout the film before that appearance in The Phantom Menace; he's even fought by Qui-Gon before that, so it's not a character entrance.
I suppose, since it's just "I just ENTERED the room", it works, but the idea is that "I just entered the MOVIE".

Someone already mentioned Indy in Raiders, but Indy in The Last Crusade is a great one too...the hat goes down on young Indy, and when the head raises it's Harrison Ford...I love that shot!
Also, has anyone mentioned Darth Vader in the original Star Wars? Great entrance!
The "over the top" (no pun intended) entrance has to go to Sylvester Stallone in Rambo III...showing us the muscles first, then the head band being tied...like he was some kind of Norse god.

Just watching Shaun Of The Dead DVD again the other day; the first scene of that film is just a character entrance over and over - and each one a load of fun.
"It's not that I don't like it... Ed, it's not that I don't like you"
"S'alright!"
No apologies necessary! It's not like I'm roasting people's heels over hot coals for not correctly indering my implications...

Anyone who has ever seen The Third Man knows that Harry Lime's entrance is the best.
Now we can tell who in this thread has seen it and who hasn't.

I love Charles Bronsan's character entrance in Once Upon A Time In The West, one of my all-time favorites.

For the classic movies:
Sherif Ali ibn el Kharish "Desert Mirage" introduction from Lawrence of Arabia.
For the modern movies:
Missy Pantone "Audition" introduction from Bring It On.
(Nope. Im not resurrecting THAT thread. Honestly.)
