the technique has been used across genres, including dramas such as "through a glass darkly" (1961), "8½" (1963), "raging bull" (1980), and "city of god" (2002); crime thrillers such as "no way out" (1987), "grievous bodily harm" (1988), "the usual suspects" (1995), and "kill bill volume 2" (2004); horror films such as "firestarter" (1984); action films such as many in the james bond franchise; and comedies such as "dr. strangelove" (1964). most notably, "star" "wars" takes advantage of the technique across its multi-part epic series of films with the first-released film, "a new hope", being the fourth episode in a nine-part epic.
