Not so much the opening scene, But with Sernity, (Love that Movie), Whan they first go inside the ship, that whole opening credits sene, which goes for like 5 minutes, is one fluid shot, no editing, nothing... Just one 5 minute opening credits shot following the captain all over the ship talking with his crew... flippen awsome camera work and directing for that one!

Actually, there is one cut, but it's a very clever one. The shot is mostly fluid. At one point when Simon is talking to Mal, the camera moves quickly from Mal to Simon and the shot is so smooth that you can't tell it's a cut, which is awesome. They had to change the scenery when moving from the cabin of the ship to the deck with the Skid. They have a documentary about it on the DVD, watch it if you get the chance. Love the film.

Yeah, Swordfish did have an awesome opening, first Travolta giving a speech, then the whole ball-bearing explosion Matrix-esque rotation scene. Wooooooo!
