Fake-Out Opening	comment	This is when a movie's first scene, usually before the credits, is so different from your preconceptions of the movie that you think you've walked into the wrong theater. Often leads to a Proscenium Reveal or the reveal of a Dream Intro. Contrast with In Medias Res or Action Prologue (e.g., James Bond and Indiana Jones films) â€” they still fit the milieu and draw you into the action. Also contrast Bait-and-Switch Credits. If the opening sequence never gets thematically tied to the story proper at all, it becomes a Big-Lipped Alligator Moment. Nested Story Reveal is a supertrope where the fake-out continues for much longer than just one scene. We hope it's not more proof why you should Never Trust a Trailer. See also Trailer Spoof, Fake Action Prologue, Action-Hogging Opening and Non-Indicative First Episode. Overlaps with Art Shift when the scenes are delineated from the "real" movie by footage that simulates some manner of projector mishap, up to and including frames of film melting from the heat of the lamp. Can also overlap with Bait-and-Switch Character Intro if the protagonist is introduced in a misleading fashion.

However, the portal dumps him onto Earth, where he loses his magical powers and is forced to get a Burger Fool job in order to keep a roof over his head, at which point the series turns into a goofy sitcom with occasional action beats. On the other hand, as the story progresses the original serious plotline starts coming back and taking center stage.

"Chuck Versus the Rolemodels" riffed on the opening to Hart to Hart, while "Chuck Versus the Cat Squad" aped Charlie's Angels. Appropriately, both were Imagine Spots by Morgan. Even episodes with more traditional openings still toyed with this. For example, "Chuck Versus The Honeymooners" opens on a sinister-looking individual armed with a knife approaching a stateroom on a high-speed train, in what looks like it will be a Murder on the Orient Express-style thriller, only for it to be revealed that he's actually part of the staff, and is delivering room service to Chuck and Sarah.

'Duck Amuck' starts out with Daffy Duck in a swashbuckling adventure — and then Daffy realizes there's no background, and things quickly go off the rails.

This OAV is a cute Slice of Life story about said actor troupe raising a human orphan: the sci-fi part is mostly relegated to the goofy designs of the aliens and robots, and the plot is a fairly mundane story of a little girl's life in a rural village with her surrogate family.

Then switches to the story of a young boy digging holes in a low-tech, After the End underground city. It takes twenty or so episodes- including one Time Skip- for the story to reach the scenario shown in the prologue. Even then, there are so many differences between the series-version and prologue-version of the scenes that fans debate whether the latter is part of some Alternate Continuity, or even Canon. Word of God says that it was supposed to be a Flash Forward, but that that storyline got away from them at some point.

The camera pans to reveal that is nothing more than a display for the North American UFO Convention. "Gettysburg" opens with a sepia toned scene of what appears to be a Confederate soldier crouched down behind a rock about to shoot an unsuspecting Union soldier during the American Civil War. However, the sepia is replaced by a normal colour palette and it is revealed that the two men, Vince Chance and Andy Larouche, are War Re Enactors and good friends. The opening serves as Foreshadowing as Vince and Andy are soon sent back in time to the real Battle of Gettysburg by Nicholas Prentice.

Fake-Out Opening / int_4b882a66	comment	St. Elsewhere: "Where There's Hope, There's Crosby" begins with the camera panning around what appears to be the emergency room of St. Eligius. When the camera reaches the entrance to the hospital, Luther's giant smiling face is seen. It turns out that it is a model that Drs. Westphall and Auschlander had made for the hospital's founder Father Joseph McCabe. "Not My Type" opens with Dr. Westphall, Helen Rosenthal and Carol Novino rushing to Dr. Auschlander's office to resuscitate him. They try valiantly but are unable to revive him and he is pronounced dead. Dr. Craig then bursts into the office and gets to work on him, determined to use his vast skills to save Auschlander's life. It is then revealed that this is nothing more than a fictional account of Craig's heroic exploits that he wrote after getting distracted with his memoirs. It is the first of several fantasy sequences involving Dr. Auschlander's death from various different causes (including being murdered by Westphall) in the episode. The Season Six premiere "Resurrection" appears to begin immediately where the Season Five finale "Last Dance at the Wrecker's Ball" left off. St. Eligius is about to be demolished with Dr. Auschlander inside. When the wrecking ball strikes the hospital entrance, the roof of the lobby collapses, seemingly crushing Auschlander. However, he flies out from under the rubble wearing a Superman costume with an "A" in place of the Man of Steel's usual "S." At this point, it becomes apparent that this is a dream that Auschlander is having. In reality, the demolition was stopped after the ball had struck the building only once, causing very minor damage, as the hospital was bought by the Ecumena Corporation. Auschlander managed to escape, though he tore a ligament in his left leg in the process.

One very stereotypical Tokatsu opening later we encounter Sunred on his way home from a convenience store when Vamp and company attempt to kill him. Sunred immediately smashes the monster into the ground and kicks it repeatedly and then berates Florsheim for trying to fight him without an appointment, thus setting the tone for the rest of the series.

It initially looks like a straightforward action manga about an elite squadron of Kaiju-hunters... until they defeat the kaiju in five seconds and it cuts to the real protagonist, a member of the clean-up team assigned to deal with the kaijus' corpses. Then it looks like it's going to be a Work Com following his work with the clean-up team, until he and a co-worker are ambushed by a kaiju and he decides to follow his childhood dream of joining the Kaiju Corps. This actually is the plot... but with the added complication that while he's recovering from the kaiju attack, a kaiju-like parasite climbs down his throat and transforms him into a monstrous human-sized kaiju (he soon learns how to control the transformation, but if he's not careful he can involuntarily switch to kaiju form).

Fake-Out Opening / int_5ae0bec6	comment	WWE pay-per-view events occasionally open with very strange segments that are apparently supposed to be "gimmicky" and sometimes aren't even thematically tied to the program as a whole. WWE's former October event, No Mercy, opened this way in 2007. It featured a Fake Out Opening that was indeed tied to the program's theme, albeit very loosely: with no sound, we are shown the Old Testament passage "And the waters prevailed, so mighty...." against a black screen, like an intertitle in a silent movie. Only then does a montage begin of John Cena (who had recently had to vacate his year-long championship due to injury) defeating various opponents between September 2006 and September 2007. It becomes clear that Cena is supposed to be the "mighty waters." Then Cena is shown being ambushed and put out of action by Randy Orton, and the narrator intones: "Alas, the rain...." (So, does this paradoxically suggest that as Cena was the waters, Orton was the rain that caused the waters in the first place?!) Then Orton is shown releasing a white dove and is compared to Noah, in an obvious and very awkward Everyone Is Jesus in Purgatory.

It opens with heroine Sakura getting ready to go to school and send off her application to an Idol Singer audition... only to be hit by a truck when she rushes out of the house. She wakes up in a creepy house surrounded by zombies, and makes a break for it... only to be shot by the policeman she asks for help, because she's a zombie too, and her makeup's come off in the rain. Then a sunglasses-wearing weirdo shows up, whacks the policeman in the head with a shovel, and takes Sakura back to the house, where he explains the actual plot of the show, which is that she and the other zombies were resurrected to form an idol group in order to save the Saga prefecture.

Fake-Out Opening / int_6825287d	comment	The episode "Cartoon Wars, Part II" opened with a screen saying that the conclusion to Part I "will not be seen tonight" and would instead be replaced by a Terrance and Phillip cartoon. This made reference to the premiere of season 2, which aired on April Fool's Day and was in fact an entire episode devoted to the show-within-a-show, rather than the promised conclusion to season 1's cliffhanger ending. (To add insult to injury, at one point Terrance and Phillip started watching the "real" South Park season premiere on TV, but changed the channel before the cliffhanger resolution could happen.) This time, however, the Terrance and Phillip episode only lasted for about a minute before the prophet Muhammad showed up, though the visual of the actual character is censored out by the HBC network (the censorship of Muhammad is the point of conflict in the Cartoon Wars episode). Terrance and Phillip then get into an argument with the network president, who tells them, "Your show has become so preachy and full of messages that you've forgotten how to be funny!" The duo then argue that Family Guy is going to show an episode with Mohammed uncensored, but the president says that someone might be on their way to the Fox network to get that episode pulled. At that point the actual episode began.

Later, Buzz arrives to help Woody and Jessie, and Evil Doctor Porkchop (Hamm) also comes in. It turns out to be a play scenario by Andy from when he was a child. Toy Story of Terror opens on a woman being chased by a vampire on a graveyard, all shot in black-and-white. It turns out to be a movie the toys are watching.

It's quickly revealed that the story takes place while Horus is still loyal and the line is intended as a darkly ironic joke in-universe, referring to Horus killing a human ruler who believed his world to be Earth and himself to be the Emperor of Mankind.

The music for that level begins with the first few notes of the easily recognizable "Vampire Killer" (a very popular Castlevania theme) before turning into, of all things, a polka. The boss fight against Medusa does the same thing with the classic boss theme "Poison Mind". At the end of the Tokimeki Memorial-themed stage in Jikkyou Oshaberi Parodius, the bosses are giant schoolgirl forms of previously-playable characters Hikaru and Akane. Their theme from the previous installment plays for a few bars before turning into Necke's "Csikos Post".

Fake-Out Opening / int_8d817ccb	comment	Lost The second season premiere is well known for its opening scene, featuring a faceless character going about his morning business in an ordinary room set to "Make Your Own Kind of Music." Until an explosion and some camera angles reveal we're actually inside the hatch. We eventually learn the character is named Desmond. Lost has made bait and switch season openers a tradition. Season 3 begins with newcomer Juliet making brownies and talking with her fellow suburbanites. Except "suburbia" is actually a small village on the island, Juliet and friends are the previously "uncivilized" Others, and the event that ruins their day is the crash of flight 815. And then it's inverted, with Juliet again. In the episode "Not in Portland" we are led to believe that she is on the island, for the first few scenes. Then she talks to a gal, which in reality is her sister, and opens the drapes, revealing that they are in Miami. Season 4 plays with the assumption of an on-island opening, beginning with a shot of a pile of tropical fruit against a blue sky background, which is then run over by a car, with the car being driven by an unknown individual. The person is eventually revealed to be Hurley, the last person you'd expect to be fleeing from the cops. Season 5 plays with the trope: it's rather obvious who the faceless individual is (Marvin Candle/Pierre Chang), but what isn't clear is when the scene is occuring and why we're witnessing it. The real twist is the sudden appearance of Daniel Faraday. Even the infamous Nikki and Paulo got this; Nikki was doing a show within a show for her flashback episode.

Fake-Out Opening / int_98b697e9	comment	The Scream films, as noted above, have a Dead Star Walking tradition with the opening scenes, and the first season of the TV adaptation continued with this tradition by having Bella Thorne be the opening victim. Later seasons, however, played with this. The second season did a fake-out when the Ghostface trying to kill Audrey turns out to be a harmless prankster (albeit only after she non-fatally stabs him), while Vine star Lele Pons' opening-victim cameo is in a cheesy slasher movie being screened at the theater Audrey works at. The reboot Resurrection, meanwhile, looks to be setting up Paris Jackson (Michael's daughter) as the opening victim, but Ghostface turns out to be a little kid trick-or-treating, and she sends him on his way. Instead, it's that kid, the protagonist's twin brother, who gets killed off.

Costello got himself banned from the show for 12 years because of this. When he returned, he did it (with SNL's approval) by interrupting Beastie Boys' performance of "Sabotage" to instead play... "Radio Radio" with the Beasties as backing band.

Steven Moffat has made an art of this trope. "The Girl in the Fireplace" is a particularly good example: the pre-titles sequence is set in 18th-century France. The first shot after the titles is of a spaceship captioned with the words "3000 years later". "Planet of the Dead" begins with Lady Christina stealing an artifact from a museum. It leans into the heist story aesthetic so strongly that viewers might be forgiven for thinking they've tuned into the wrong show until the Doctor boards the bus.

The sketch is presented as a sci-fi movie night feature and begins with the narrator describing a perfectly ordinary couple going about their business, before deciding they're too boring and moving on to completely different events, to the couple's visible surprise. The sketch ends with the couple abruptly showing up to save Earth from the alien menace the rest of the sketch focused on by eating them. Turns out the boring couple were also secretly aliens all along. Episode 12 from Series 2 ("Spam") opens with authentic-looking full titles and Opening Scroll for an 18th-century pirate movie called The Black Eagle. The movie plays for a few moments before its characters walk by John Cleese at his announcer's desk. "And Now for Something Completely Different." Episode 3 from Series 3 starts with the actual opening titles to BBC financial show The Money Programme. The presenter begins normally, then starts ranting about his Money Fetish and breaks into song. Another third series episode begins with the intro music and logo for Thames TV, followed by an appearance by its announcer, David Hamilton. "We've got an action-packed evening for you tonight on Thames, but right now here's a rotten old BBC programme." The final episode of Series 4 begins with a voiceover falsely introducing it as a party political broadcast (a subject also parodied in the deleted opening scene of one of the Series 3 episodes).

St. Eligius is about to be demolished with Dr. Auschlander inside. When the wrecking ball strikes the hospital entrance, the roof of the lobby collapses, seemingly crushing Auschlander. However, he flies out from under the rubble wearing a Superman costume with an "A" in place of the Man of Steel's usual "S." At this point, it becomes apparent that this is a dream that Auschlander is having. In reality, the demolition was stopped after the ball had struck the building only once, causing very minor damage, as the hospital was bought by the Ecumena Corporation. Auschlander managed to escape, though he tore a ligament in his left leg in the process.

Fake-Out Opening / int_d9c602eb	comment	South Park: The episode "Cartoon Wars, Part II" opened with a screen saying that the conclusion to Part I "will not be seen tonight" and would instead be replaced by a Terrance and Phillip cartoon. This made reference to the premiere of season 2, which aired on April Fool's Day and was in fact an entire episode devoted to the show-within-a-show, rather than the promised conclusion to season 1's cliffhanger ending. (To add insult to injury, at one point Terrance and Phillip started watching the "real" South Park season premiere on TV, but changed the channel before the cliffhanger resolution could happen.) This time, however, the Terrance and Phillip episode only lasted for about a minute before the prophet Muhammad showed up, though the visual of the actual character is censored out by the HBC network (the censorship of Muhammad is the point of conflict in the Cartoon Wars episode). Terrance and Phillip then get into an argument with the network president, who tells them, "Your show has become so preachy and full of messages that you've forgotten how to be funny!" The duo then argue that Family Guy is going to show an episode with Mohammed uncensored, but the president says that someone might be on their way to the Fox network to get that episode pulled. At that point the actual episode began. The opening scene in "Spookyfish" appears to set up an Alien Invasion story... only for the alien in question to get run over by the school bus. The rest of the episode revolves around an Evil Twin and a Mirror Universe.

Played with later when we do get a cartoon with this name later, and the King of Town even lampshades it.

Fake-Out Opening / int_e8224f8c	comment	Str.A.In.: Strategic Armored Infantry starts off with young Sarah Werec attending a piloting academy alongside her friends, hoping to become a great Humongous Mecha pilot like her beloved big brother Ralph. The first episode ends with Ralph leading an enemy army to attack the school, violently slaughtering everyone there except Sarah. Following a Time Skip Sarah has become a Mecha-Mook pilot and the story takes on a more traditional mecha feel, losing most (but not all) of the Shojo trappings it had at first blush.

Fake-Out Opening / int_ef0cb827	comment	Pop Team Epic pushed this type of fake-out to the extreme. The author said the series was cancelled and he was working on Hoshiiro Girldrop, an Idol Singer yonkoma. He spent four months advertising it, releasing character bios, etc. When it came out, it seemed to be a fairly straightforward generic Slice of Life manga... until the main heroine ripped off her face to reveal that it was Popuko, and that Pop Team Epic was coming back. To top it off, Hoshiiro Girldrop was actually published, but by other authors. The anime follows suit, dating all the way back to its April Fools' Day announcement using Girldrop instead of Pop Team to clue the viewers in and having Popuko tear through the announcement site the day after. The first episode even starts off with Hoshiiro Girldrop. After the intro and title card, however, Popuko rips through it once again, shouts "Not!" and the real, considerably weirder, show starts. It keeps up the pretense throughout the show, with the "Next Episode" segments all being for non-existent Hoshiiro Girldrop episodes.

One fansub of the show took this further, and actually used parodies of the fansub-makers' screen names during this opening (listing the real ones during the end credits). Which is odd because it implies that the main character is watching an English fansub on TV. In Japan.

Fake-Out Opening / int_f78e69f	comment	In Disney's Chicken Little, the narrator (Buck Cluck, the main character's father) tries to find an opening to the film, apparently because he was so sick of starting with "Once upon a time.." He opts for another opening, which turns out to be a familiar sunrise, then saying "Eh, that was used already." Next is a Storybook Opening (which was fully animated and narrated by Don Knotts), which he also rejects as too clichÃ©, so he eventually settles on a flashback to when Chicken Little first thought the sky was falling.

Word of God is that the opening was a deliberate joke to trick moviegoers into thinking they'd gone to the wrong movie.
