A Villain Opening Scene begins the story with the villain. As it's an Establishing Character Moment, often the villain's first act will be a Kick the Dog or Moral Event Horizon crossing moment that serves to show how evil or badass (s)he is, and often sets up the situation that the hero then has to resolve.
Common in stories in which the villain and the plot are essentially synonymous, and a simple way of implementing Villains Act, Heroes React.

Unbreakable opens with the origin story and birth of the later supervillain and David's evil mentor Elijah, showing why his fragility devastated his mother and ultimately caused him to became a Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds, which is further fleshed out in a later scene between the two.

Dirty Harry begins with the first Scorpio murder. More accurately, it starts with a pretty girl taking a swim in a rooftop pool, then zooms out at length until we see the barrel of a sniper rifle...
The Enforcer begins with Miki posing as a hitchhiker who seduces two gas company men before Maxwell kills the two and steals their van and uniforms to use as part of his scheme.
In The Dead Pool, before we see Harry, we first see Rook in his apartment, watching the news and reading a Rolling Stone magazine before making the Dead Pool list. His face is obscured, however.

Inverted in GoldenEye: Bond is on a mission with 006; about halfway through the film, it is revealed 006 is The Big Bad. The focus, however, is mostly on Bond. Likewise, in Die Another Day, Colonel Moon is the Big Bad Gustav Graves.

Fear Street 1994 does but this only becomes clear with The Reveal of the third movie. It recreates the opening of Scream, in which a Decoy Protagonist is killed by a psycho killer, who is then shot when the police arrive...only to come back as an undead killer later. The cop who shot him, Nick Goode, is revealed to be the true villain of the series.

The Coldfire Trilogy by C.S. Friedman begins with a scene with the villain (although it's from the viewpoint of his wife). Also somewhat subverted — Tarrant is undeniably evil, but he turns out not to be the main villain. That's Calesta, who isn't introduced until the middle of the book.

Many films in the Disney Animated Canon have such a scene, as Disney abuses this trope.
Aladdin. Okay, so it actually opens with the Merchant, but straight after it goes to Jafar and Iago's latest attempt to get the magic lamp from the Cave of Wonders.
Though technically not a villain, Atlantis: The Lost Empire was originally going to begin with the Leviathan sinking a Viking ship, and causing the Shepherd's Journal to be thrown into the Atlantic Ocean.
Dinosaur actually begins with the film's Big Bad, the Carnotaurus attacking the nest made by Aladar's mother, smashing all but one of the eggs (which was taken away by an Oviraptor, and later on a Pterodactyl, to Lemur Island) and presumably killing his mother, although not on purpose, as it was actually trying to kill a Pachyrhinosaurus, and that Aladar's mother and her nest were simply just standing in its way.
The Great Mouse Detective begins with Ratigan's lackey Fidget attacking and kidnapping Olivia's father.
This is also true for The Hunchback of Notre Dame, which opens with Clopin, the narrator, before switching to Judge Claude Frollo arresting some Gypsies. In both cases, the narrator of the story (a popular narrative device) was preceding the villain.
The Lion King: Scar is the first character to speak in the film, although the film does not start with him appearing- it starts, as many know, with the famous scene depicting the inhabitants of the Pride Lands gathering to see Simba for the first time.
Mulan opens with Shan-Yu and his army attacking the Great Wall of China. Mulan herself doesn't appear till scene three.
Pocahontas opens with the start of the voyage from London to Virginia, and Governor Ratcliffe is of course in charge of it. The Deuteragonist John Smith is then introduced, along with a few of the supporting casts, and Pocahontas is actually the last of the main protagonists to be introduced, following a brief song showing the Powhatans.
Sleeping Beauty: Due to the film beginning with the three good fairies bestowing gifts upon Aurora while she is a baby, she doesn't get a proper introduction until after Maleficent places the curse on her.
For Disney, this trope goes back to the very beginning. The first proper scene of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is of the Queen consulting her Magic Mirror.
Tangled begins with the villainess Gothel finding the magic flower used by Rapunzel's mother to heal her illness (and later transferring its magic to her daughter's hair), only to have it snatched away by the King to heal his aforementioned wife.

RWBY does this quite a few times:
After the opening narration in Volume 1, the first character to appear onscreen is Roman Torchwick, who becomes a prominent antagonist for the Beacon arc.
Volume 2's first episode opens with Emerald and Mercury as newly introduced villains, and sees them kill a would-be defector.
While Volume 3 doesn't open in this way, it ends with the revelation that the opening narrator was the Big Bad Salem, retroactively giving a version of this to the entire show.
Volume 4 then opens with Salem and her associates meeting and discussing their next course of action after Beacon Academy's fall.

This is also true for The Hunchback of Notre Dame, which opens with Clopin, the narrator, before switching to Judge Claude Frollo arresting some Gypsies. In both cases, the narrator of the story (a popular narrative device) was preceding the villain.

Comes up frequently in Harry Potter:
Although the Dursleys aren't all-out villains like Voldemort and company, Philosopher's Stone opens with a whole chapter dedicated to Uncle Vernon's day at work, interspersed with occasional references to the magical world we now know and love.
Goblet of Fire opens with a chapter about Voldemort murdering people, albeit from the POV of one of the victims.
Half-Blood Prince opens with two Death Eaters visiting Snape.
And Deathly Hallows opens with Voldemort and his Death Eaters at Malfoy Manor.
Notably, other than the Prime Minister scene that opens "Half-Blood Prince", the mind-melds with Voldemort, and a few cases of Early-Installment Weirdness in "Philosopher's Stone", these are the only scenes in the series not shown from Harry's point of view.

Dinosaur actually begins with the film's Big Bad, the Carnotaurus attacking the nest made by Aladar's mother, smashing all but one of the eggs (which was taken away by an Oviraptor, and later on a Pterodactyl, to Lemur Island) and presumably killing his mother, although not on purpose, as it was actually trying to kill a Pachyrhinosaurus, and that Aladar's mother and her nest were simply just standing in its way.

Some of the James Bond opening sequences.
Dr. No, the first in the series, begins with the murder of secret service agent John Strangways.
From Russia with Love appears to begin with Bond, but it is actually a double, who is killed by Red Grant for a SPECTRE training mission.
You Only Live Twice, The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker begin with spacecraft (or submarine)-hijacking before cutting to Bond.
Live and Let Die opens with people getting murdered (though the cause only appears after the credits).
The Man with the Golden Gun focuses on Scaramanga, demonstrating his skill as an assassin and establishing his feud with Bond.
For Your Eyes Only also opens with a murder, following a sequence where a spy ship accidentally collides with a mine.
Licence to Kill blurs the two tropes, mainly focusing on Big Bad Franz Sanchez who, unfortunately for him, unintentionally interrupts the wedding of Felix Leiter, which means Bond gets involved.
Inverted in GoldenEye: Bond is on a mission with 006; about halfway through the film, it is revealed 006 is The Big Bad. The focus, however, is mostly on Bond. Likewise, in Die Another Day, Colonel Moon is the Big Bad Gustav Graves.
The first scene of No Time to Die is in a Flashback showing Safin invading Madeleine's home and shooting her mother.

In Scanners II: The New Order, long before David is introduced as the hero, the movie opens with Peter Drak walking the streets and screaming at the sky out of mental pain. Then he walks into an arcade hall and destroys it completely, causing a total panic before blowing it up. A nice contrast to the first Scanners where the vagrant psychic drifter accidentally does something bad before he's picked up by the organization that wants to recruit him. Except here it's a knowingly evil villain.

The Owl House:
"Hunting Palismen" begins with a scene at the Emperor's Castle as Belos summons the other coven leaders for a meeting prior to the upcoming Day of Unity.
"Eclipse Lake" also starts at the castle, where the Golden Guard, AKA Hunter, talks with Belos.
The last three episodes of season two all begin with The Collector, the latter two having him speaking with Belos.

In the Marvel Cinematic Universe:
Iron Man 2 opens with Ivan Vanko watching his father die and then preparing for his revenge against Tony Stark.
Present day intro aside, Captain America: The First Avenger begins with Red Skull finding and stealing the Tesseract.
The Avengers (2012) opens with a brief, ominous scene of The Other giving Loki his scepter and musing about how they will Take Over the World and "The humans? What can they do but burn?"
Captain America: Civil War opens with a flashback to 1991. Bucky, still in captivity, is unfrozen and electrocuted into his Winter Soldier mindset while his HYDRA handlers watch, then sent on an assassination mission.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 technically features this, opening with a flashback of Ego planting a piece of himself in the Earth. Even though the villain doesn't appear particularly menacing (at the moment).
Spider-Man: Homecoming opens with a flashback of Adrian Toomes and his crew being laid off by Tony Stark's Damage Control.
Avengers: Infinity War opens with Ebony Maw's and Thanos's speeches. Then in the first ten minutes, Thanos proves that he is a force to be reckoned with.

X-Men:
The first X-Men movie begins with a flashback sequence to Magneto's childhood in Auschwitz, where he first discovers his magnetic powers while struggling with a Nazi guard.
The Distant Prologue of X-Men: Apocalypse is a variant in that it's about the title villain, but he's a minor participant - Apocalypse is just changing bodies, while his Horsemen ensure he doesn't die when the servants riot and cause the pyramid to cave in.

Mass Effect 2 is the perfect example. To introduce the new main villains of the game, the game begins with them appearing from nowhere and shooting your trusty ship from the first game into a burning wreck with the first salvo. You just have enough time to watch your crew abandoning the ship and look out the giant hole in the hull that used to be the command center before they come round for the second attack that completely destroys your ship which disintegrates around you. Floating in the cloud of debris, your space suits starts to leak and you start your trip down to the planet several hundred kilometers below you. You get better, but after that opening, you just want to see those bastards dead, without even knowing their name or what they look like.

This has become a tradition with the Despicable Me movies.
The first one begins with Vector stealing the Pyramid of Giza (though Vector himself doesn't show his face just yet).
The second one begins with El Macho stealing an Antarctic base with a giant magnet (though El Macho himself doesn't show his face just yet either).
The third one begins with Balthazar Bratt's backstory, which is immediately followed by his first heist (and unlike the first two, we fully see Bratt and his face).
The first Minions movie breaks this tradition, but Minions: The Rise of Gru brings it back in full force, showing Belle Bottom of the Vicious Six evading the Anti-Villain League with the map to the Zodiac Stone in tow. Once she makes it back to headquarters, we then see Wild Knuckles breaking into the temple and stealing said stone. Unfortunately for him, this is also where the rest of the Vicious Six betray him, take the stone for themselves, and leave their leader for dead.

Tales of the Magic Land:
In Urfin Jus and His Wooden Soldiers, the first four chapters are spent focusing on Urfin Jus and his From Nobody to Nightmare progress as he discoveres the powder of life, constructs an army, and begins to conquer the Magic Land.
In The Seven Underground Kings, apart from a brief prologue about the creation of the Magic Land, the first chapters are devoted to the world-building of the Underground Miner Country and its the development of its tyrannical (and hugely impractical) political system with seven royal families.
In The Fiery God of the Marrans, the entire first pat is again dedicated to Urfin Jus and how he seizes power among the Marrans with the help of a God Guise, to try to conquer the Magic Land again.

Kirby: Right Back at Ya!:
In the North American version, the very first episode opens with an immense, evil crimson octopus Demon Beast/monster called Octacon attacking and eating a whole flock of sheep to a Cappy farmer's horror before flying back to King Dedede's castle. This scene actually switched places with the original Japanese opening scene where Kirby is flying through space asleep and eventually comes into orbit over Popstar in the dub.
Also, the episode "Masher 2.0" begins with Knuckle Joe in a battle against a newly-rebuilt Masher 2.0. And not doing too well against it. At least he does well against its helpers, some of Nightmare's kaiju-esque monsters seen in Meta Knight's flashbacks.

Dragon Quest II opens with a long sequence depicting Hargon's attack on Moonbrooke. The scene was added in the North American version. It became canon in the remakes, with new music. (The US NES version simply used the battle theme.)

The Good Detective: The first scene of the series shows the unknown killer dumping his victim's body in a river. Then the story jumps forward to the present (2020), in which the cops wind up re-investigating after figuring out the guy they put on death row for that killing is an innocent man.

For both Freddy Krueger and Jason Voorhees in Freddy vs. Jason. The film opens with a monologue by Freddy Krueger. He explains how he came to be, and that the parents of Springwood have stopped him by erasing him from memory. He has found someone (Jason Voorhees) who he will use to instill fear in the town of Springwood once again, which will allow him to come back. This is followed by Jason stalking one of his victims in Camp Crystal Lake in his dreams before Freddy manipulates him in the guise of his mother to go to Springwood.

Not only does she attack Grolla with powerful magic, she even pulls a Wounded Gazelle Gambit on her by pretending she's threatened and crying out for Sichte's help! Realizing that lowering her guard on Sichte's orders could end up making her forfeit her life, she instead retreats to gather her thoughts and reassess the situation.

Ultra Series:
Many episodes of Ultraman Tiga have a Villain Opening Scene featuring the current Monster of the Week.
Ultraman Trigger: New Generation Tiga's episode 1 opens with the Big Bad, Carmeara's petrified body floating in outer space all alone, before a stray meteorite frees her from her prison and lets her rage loose in an Establishing Character Moment. Other episodes later on similarly open up with scenes focusing on the Dark Giants, the villainous faction of the series.

The rest of the book is first person, either straight from Anne or from Sir Eustace's diary.

Sonic the Hedgehog:
While the heroes' and villains' viewpoints are separated into their own stories, the earliest chronological scene in Sonic Adventure 2 is the start of the Dark story, with Eggman breaking into the GUN base and freeing Shadow.
Dr. Robotnik has one in the spinoff Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine, in which he explains his latest plan to Scratch and Grounder.

A practice utilized with most every Scooby-Doo incarnation and film. What's New, Scooby-Doo?, for example, had a cold open depicting someone running into the monster for that episode, though it was a toss-up on if it would be shown before or after the theme song. (In one example, one of the people who encountered the monster was, in fact, the monster themselves!)

Yatterman Night begins with Dokurobei apparently blowing up the moon and raining the pieces down on Earth. One of them lands in a volcano, which explodes. At the moment, this has nothing to do with the show's plot.

The very first scene of Buffy the Vampire Slayer featured not Buffy, but Darla. It looks like the guy with her is a creepy predator, but then she eats him. Driving home the whole "helpless blondes in this show aren't actually helpless" thing.

Freedom Planet opens with Lord Brevon and his Shade Troopers invading the Shuigang Palace, slaughtering several Shuigang soldiers, and then Brevon himself beheading the King of Shuigang right in front of Prince Dail and afterwards brainwashing Dail through Syntax. If that doesn’t prove just how vile Brevon is to the player, we're not sure what will.

Star Wars Legends:
Each book in The Thrawn Trilogy starts off with a scene on an Imperial Star Destroyer, in a Continuity Nod to the original trilogy's openings with shots of a Star Destroyer. Its primary function is to establish Thrawn's tactical genius.
The "Project Starscream" arc of Galaxy of Fear has each book start with a scene of the Big Bad being mysterious. Other books have similar happen with other villains.

Both the manga and the anime of Elfen Lied begin with the infamous scene of an emaciated naked young woman shuffling through the corridors of an Elaborate Underground Base butchering dozens of armed guards by deflecting their bullets and ripping them apart with her telekinetic powers. And then she casually pops the head of a secretary who just happens to come around the corner and uses her corpse as a shield, clearly removing any ideas that she is merely the victim of an evil organization.

Mission: Impossible Film Series:
Mission: Impossible II opens with Ambrose, disguised as Ethan, killing Dr. Vladimir Nekhorvich before stealing Bellerophon.
Mission: Impossible III opens with Davian holding Ethan captive and interrogating him about the Rabbit's Foot while counting to ten and shooting Julia in the head.
The first scene we get in Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning is of the Entity hacking into a Russian submarine and tricking it into downing itself. Played With in that it is also technically the origin for the Entity, as whatever was hidden in the sub is what caused it grow beyond its programming and go rogue.
