here is a ~4minutes scene from The Protector(US Name)/Tom Yum Goong with just fighting as the camera goes up several stories of a hotel/casino




eh, about ~3minutes from Oldboy, fighting down a hallway against like 10



a fake (special effects) 1 take scene from Children of Men.

There's one in Goodfellas where Ray Liotta's character leads Lorraine Bracco into a club.

the 2minute 42 second shoot from hard boiled


kill bill vol 1


not a movie but the video for Fresh is done in one take.
if u check out Electroma which is also directed by daft punk, you will see the the whole film is done in 3 long takes

Ha, and I made a thread about this movie last night.

The scene after they get out of the disco. It's a 6 minute single shot.



Sorry there are no subtitles.

Basically he gets stood up by his girlfriend. Then the other girl comes, asks him into a photo booth. Says he can see her tits for 150f, he says he only has 100f, she says thats fine but no touching. He says thats rediculous and leaves. Then he records a long monolouge about loving his girlfriend or something like that. Then the rest is pretty random... lol.


The movie is filled with long continous shots though. A lot are in an interigation sort of style. Just the persons upper body and a dialog between them and someone else off camera.

The one that comes to mind is the opening scene from Snake Eyes with Nicholas Cage. I think it went for like 10 minutes or something. Don't have a link, but I'm sure someone else can find one.

Thanks for reminding me how great those continuous shots are in Children of Men. The other examples dont even come close to the complexity or realness that Children of Men created with those shots. That fight scene of the guy going up the stairs looked so fake without cuts, the Oldboy fight was just annoying, and the Killbill example didn't have any special effects. I was kind of disappointed that Julian Moore's character died so easily in CoM but now that I look back at it she died during one the single best 1 take scenes in cinema history.

I give you the SINGLE greatest single shot scene in movie history.

The whole movie is filled with other beautiful shots like these.

Saw a Bruce Cambell movie called 'Running Time' in college.

Movie is 70 minutes long, all "in camera" so it looks like one continuous shot. If I remember correctly, the director told me it had a total of 4 or 5 places where they actually stopped and were able to splice film. If they messed up 15 minutes into a shot, they had to go back and reshoot the whole thing.

Very cool movie, is actually a 70 minute long slice of this guy's life.

Anyone can do those, its just a matter of how much money you have to waste to make it bigger and "better."
