Title: Opening credits, military drill
Post by: Bunnyhop on February 04, 2015, 05:02:44 PM
Please help before I explode. It's a military (academy?) story, that starts in a dark hall, with uniformed soldiers doing drill, in the dark, with just a few spotlights. They march in and out of the beams, and there could be a bit of dry ice (I might be lying about that bit). I can't remember anything else about it, but that bit was stunning :)

Is it 80s?  Then maybe TAPS or THE LORDS OF DISCIPLINE.

Thank you so much for replying. It's not Taps, I skip-watched that yesterday and from the YouTube clips I've found, it's not The Lords of Discipline either. It's a really striking scene. I suppose it could possibly be the '90s, does that bring any other possibilities up?

Awfully late for your timeline, but take a look at The General's Daughter.  I think it starts that way, and it uses the same trick one or two more times during the movie to waste time build tension.

No, sorry. It's not that either. I'm beginning to think I imagined the whole thing

Fairly certain it's not in the opening credits, but my memories of 'Cadence' (1990) involve drills in the dark with just a few spotlights. And there was a bit of dry ice floating around in at least one of those scenes.
