Best character entrance?
Sometimes, a good entrance or introduction is all you need to get the audience gunning for or sympathizing with a character. What are some of the best entrances you've seen on screen?
I just thought of this while watching Blade. Fantastic scene in the techno "bloodbath" club; amid the blood-soaked vampires, there's Blade, clean as a whistle. The vampires ready themselves while some murmer"That's him!", "It's the daywalker!"... and then he starts kicking. major. vampire. ass. Now THAT'S an entrance. Told you all you need to know, and was great in doing it. |

I like Wooderson in Dazed and Confused. Amps a good movie into the realm of greatness.

Max Cady in the remake of Cape Fear.
You don't see his face as he gets his stuff together and leaves his cell. Then he walks out... towards the camera... and doesn't slow down... |
All the characters in The Good The Bad And The Ugly.

I have some favorites from my movie collection. Some may not be so grandiose, but at the very least made a cool first impression, especially if accompanied by a cool line:
Brandon Lee rising from the grave in The Crow Daryl Hannah walking up to the Statue of Liberty buck-naked in Splash Arnold in T2 Jack Black walking in the record store playing air guitar in High Fidelity: "Holy Shiite! What the fuck is that?" Sean Connery as Ramirez in the first Highlander Shrek kicking open the outhouse door at the beginning of the movie John Forsythe as Bill Murray's old boss in Scrooged: "Wooooooo-wee! That was a good one!" Michael Clarke Duncan stepping off the prison truck in The Green Mile Kelly LeBrock's entrance in Weird Science: "So, what would you little maniacs like to do first?" |

Timothy Dalton's hair blowing in the wind like some wolf as his fellow agent falls to his death in the living daylights, and the most dangerous bond of them all is seen by audiences, capturing the scene.
