Nah, The Fury was way cooler.

anyone who fights with a flamethrower is automatically cool.
anyone who's an astronaut is automatically cool.
but a flamethrower-wielding cosmonaut... ph33r

[Ransom]

The Fury was pretty cool, yeah. I just prefer weirder, creepier stuff - which is why I liked The Sorrow more.

Halo 2: When the MC is on the streets of New Mambassa, and they need to break through the gate to get to the crashed pelican, and the two Hunters bust down the gate before you, walk in all cocky-like with their necks exposed, and you cap the first one in the threoat with the pistol... Yeah. That was fun.

I Like sarge's "Back from dead" reapearence in  the 2002(3?) e3 Promo

I'm going have to go with the SD Tantalus in the original Clash of the Titans.

"HOLY **** NOBODY SAID ANYTHING ABOUT ANOTHER DEMON!"

I think this was one of the best entrances in cinema:

[JR2000Z]

When the docking bay doors open and Darth Maul appears.

[Taristin]

Fat guy, little glasses!

[Flipside]

Does make him look like a trendy Easter Egg

Johnny Depp in Pirates of the Cariibbean

[Mongoose]

Hehe, yeah.  The camera angle shows him standing atop a tall mast, then you see he's about three feet above the water.

About the earlier Return of the King reference:  technically, while the whole "Army of the Dead at Pelennor" was grossly inaccurate, Aragorn jumping off the ship was straight out of the book.

[Gortef]

hookay, I'll be the one to bring anime in this thread

Kira&Freedom - Gundam SEED: Archangel is just about to get her bridge shot to pieces when Freedom comes to the rescue just in time (without killing anyone in the progress).

It's not exactly an 'entrance" in the original sense, but the very beginning of "Tie Fighter", when the Star Wars music starts and changes into the imperial march out of a sudden.

[Fineus]

This one is easy...

The man: Worf
The place: The bridge of the Defiant
The line: Perhaps today is a good day to die.
The result: Mountains of geeky fan service that anyone who knows anything about Worf will get a laugh out of.

[phatosealpha]

The alien in Alien.  Not telling the actors what exactly it was gonna do really did result in some excellent facial expressions.

Baal in D2: LoD's opening cinematic.  I'm not a big blizzard fan, but it's hard to deny that the guys can do cinematics.

[Corhellion]

I'm amazed noone has said it yet...

Star Wars IV: A New Hope

Rebel corvette flies overhead lasers blasting at another ship, then the stardestroyer appears overheard, and just keeps going, and going, and going, and going and going.

First time I saw it. I was floored...it was awesome...

I assume fan service has not the same meaning for me

Yep, first time I really noticed surround sound as well...

There were some good entrances (and exits) in Kill Bill as well - The crazy 88s did drama pretty well....
