The term Money-Making Shot refers to any really critical scene in a film (especially a scene that makes the trailer of the film). It is, essentially, the bit you bought your ticket for, so one could say that it's the point at which you get your "money's worth." Some films might have more than one Money-Making Shot. See also Just Here for Godzilla, where the Money-Making Shot is all the audience comes for; Signature Scene, when a scene becomes this regardless of the creators' intentions; and Watch It for the Meme. Not to be confused with Shoot the Money. |

Referenced in a scene in The Simpsons Movie trailer where Lovejoy says "And here's the money shot". This line was not in the film, however. Also happens once in the show. After Maude Flanders dies, Homer is secretly filming Ned to submit him to a video dating service. He says the line when Ned takes off his shirt to reveal his manly physique. |

Marvel Cinematic Universe: In The Avengers (2012) it's the Epic Tracking Shot that pans from one Avenger to another fighting the Chitauri. Joss Whedon says in the commentary that they considered cutting that shot several times, only to conclude that a shot like that is why they're making such a movie in the first place. There's also the shot that does a 360 degree pan around the group as they're surrounded by Chitauri. They aren't doing anything; it's merely for the audience to revel in the fact that, yes, these six characters are together in one movie, and they're about to kick ass together. Avengers: Age of Ultron has the arrival of the Hulkbuster, being the first thing in MCU to face and block Hulk's punch. There's also the battle in Sokovia, in the generator room, where all the Avengers and the Maximoff twins are fighting the Ultron drones in a sped up / slowed down rotating shot. Captain America: Civil War has Team Cap and Team Iron Man running at each other to battle. And let's not forget everyone's favorite web head swiping Cap's shield at the end of the second trailer. Doctor Strange (2016) has the sequence of Strange and Mordo being chased through New York by Kaecilius and his Zealots in the Mirror Dimension. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 has a team shot of the Guardians, Mantis, Nebula and Yondu after landing on the surface beneath Ego's core. Spider-Man: Homecoming has Peter lifting concrete pillars off of himself in sheer determination, referencing "If This Be My Destiny..." Thor: Ragnarok has the arena fight with Hulk on Sakaar and Thor fully tapping into his powers on Asgard, complete with Immigrant Song blaring as he rains lightning on his enemies. Black Panther has the shot of T'Challa backflipping from an airborne SUV and landing on the car in front of him. This shot was featured prominently in several promo materials, to put it lightly. Avengers: Infinity War has Thanos using the Infinity Gauntlet to hurl a moon at the Avengers and the Guardians on Titan, the shot of Black Panther and Captain America sprinting past every tribe in the Battle of Wakanda, Thor arriving in Wakanda with Rocket and Groot, Captain America holding back Thanos' fist and the Snap. Avengers: Endgame has many but the greatest one is undeniably the scene when Captain America stands alone against Thanos' army only for countless portals to appear, bringing in every hero and ally the Avengers have ever made. 22 movies built up to one of the most epic Avengers Assemble scenes put to screen. |

In each of the Final Destination films, it's the set-piece disasters that the protagonists witness in premonitions and then save their friends from. (The first film had a plane crash, the second had a highway pileup, the third had a rollercoaster accident, the fourth had a wreck at a race track, and the fifth had a bridge collapse.) Tony Todd has stated that he thinks that this is why they won't make a sixth movie: these scenes bump up the budget considerably compared to other horror movies, which means narrower profit margins, especially given that these films are very violent and R-rated. | |

Darling Lili of course has the scene where a Dark Reprise of "I'll Give You Three Guesses" happens and it turns into a striptease. At the end of the song Lili has unzipped her corset, and tosses it aside just as the lights go down. Press for the film focused so much on that, people compared it to Ninotchka's tag line being "Garbo Laughs" and suggesting Darling Lili be "Julie Strips". Oh and Lili was played by Julie Andrews. | |

Ethan's death-defying vertical climb up the side of the Burj Khalifa (with nothing more than a pair of powered climbing gloves and his free-climbing ability) was heavily played up in the marketing campaign for Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol. This stunt was all Cruise (though held by digitally-removed wiring) and played a large part of the film's second act. | |

Avengers: Endgame has many but the greatest one is undeniably the scene when Captain America stands alone against Thanos' army only for countless portals to appear, bringing in every hero and ally the Avengers have ever made. 22 movies built up to one of the most epic Avengers Assemble scenes put to screen. | |

Like Ghost Protocol, a real stunt involving Tom Cruise hanging onto the side of a departing Airbus (and the shot showing the aircraft take off as Ethan holds on for dear life) was heavily marketed for Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation, to the point that it is used as the cover art for most home-media releases. | |

The Force Awakens: Judging by people's reactions to them, the end of each trailer has one of these. The first teaser had the Millenium Falcon soaring and battling a group of TIE Fighters while the theme song blared. "Chewie, we're home." Finn brandishing his lightsaber as an unmasked Kylo Ren goes in for the strike. |

The Legend War in Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger and its counterpart scene in Power Rangers Megaforce, featuring every Ranger ever to that point in a Big Badass Battle Sequence. Gokaiger's first movie had the audience dropping their jaws at the trailer showing all the Humongous Mecha in the franchise's 35 year history. |

Blue Is the Warmest Color: Yes, it's an acclaimed love story and an acclaimed piece of lesbian cinema. Yes, it's actually only a very small part of the 3-hour running time of the picture and could be excised without causing undue harm to the storytelling (YMMV in that point). But in the end the extended, supergraphic sex scene between the two leads is what most people remember (and later bought the Blu-rays for). | |

In The Avengers (2012) it's the Epic Tracking Shot that pans from one Avenger to another fighting the Chitauri. Joss Whedon says in the commentary that they considered cutting that shot several times, only to conclude that a shot like that is why they're making such a movie in the first place. There's also the shot that does a 360 degree pan around the group as they're surrounded by Chitauri. They aren't doing anything; it's merely for the audience to revel in the fact that, yes, these six characters are together in one movie, and they're about to kick ass together. |

Mission: Impossible (1996) ran into Trailers Always Spoil territory with its signature shot, Ethan Hunt being thrown from an exploding helicopter towards a surface directly in front of the camera. The film reveals this to be the conclusion of the climactic finale showdown between Ethan and Jim Hunt (and fellow teammate Krieger, piloting said helicopter). | |

The Mission: Impossible Film Series usually has one moment per film that is heavily played up in the trailer, ostensibly because it's part of the big action setpiece within each movie. Mission: Impossible (1996) ran into Trailers Always Spoil territory with its signature shot, Ethan Hunt being thrown from an exploding helicopter towards a surface directly in front of the camera. The film reveals this to be the conclusion of the climactic finale showdown between Ethan and Jim Hunt (and fellow teammate Krieger, piloting said helicopter). Mission: Impossible II heavily played up a shot of Ethan (dressed in an all-black ensemble, riding a jet-black motorcycle) blasting through the wreckage of a vehicle destroyed during the final chase sequence in the marketing campaign. It helps that it's a John Woo trademark.) Mission: Impossible III used a shot of Ethan being blown backwards by an exploding car as he runs away from it at the conclusion of most trailers. The shot appears midway through the film during a fight sequence against an unmanned drone. Ethan's death-defying vertical climb up the side of the Burj Khalifa (with nothing more than a pair of powered climbing gloves and his free-climbing ability) was heavily played up in the marketing campaign for Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol. This stunt was all Cruise (though held by digitally-removed wiring) and played a large part of the film's second act. Like Ghost Protocol, a real stunt involving Tom Cruise hanging onto the side of a departing Airbus (and the shot showing the aircraft take off as Ethan holds on for dear life) was heavily marketed for Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation, to the point that it is used as the cover art for most home-media releases. Mission: Impossible – Fallout has Ethan precariously dangling off a helicopter in mid-flight, and then piloting it, which Tom Cruise took piloting lessons for the express purpose of filming the scene. Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning has a stunt where Ethan jumps off a cliff while on a motorcycle that's featured heavily in both trailers, to the point where Paramount dedicated an entire behind-the-scenes video to it. |

The Little Mermaid (1989) had two scenes that are consistently featured in most of the film's advertisements, usually at the very beginning or very end. First is Ariel as a mermaid, sitting on rock looking at a beach with a determined expression, singing the finale of the Part of Your World Reprise as the wind blows her hair, waves crash behind her, and Scuttle flies past her Second is a human Ariel suddenly emerging from the middle of the ocean in an explosion of water droplets gasping for breath, backlit by the distant sunrise in a way that makes her look like a silhouette and the water droplets look like a dazzling lightshow. In fact, in the original trailer, this is actually the first shot of Ariel that was ever shown, giving the first modern Disney Princess quite the first impression. |
