History Main / ArrowCam

* ''Film/ACopAndAHalf'' invented the ''"Twinkie Cam"'' ([[ShapedLikeItself it's like an Arrow Cam]], only attached to a thrown twinkie).

** There's also a mod which lets you actually ride the rocket. Naturally, the mod is called [[DrStrangelove Strangelove]].

** In Toy Soldiers: Cold War, you get access to the anti-tank tower, which are just some toy soldiers using models of real world rocket/missile launchers as if they were real. When shell cam is used on these towers, you can control the rocket's up and down pitch in addition to turning them left or right, similarly to other remote controlled missiles mentioned above. This, coupled with the speed controls, means that you can hit any target on the map, regardless of elevation or speed. Tier 3 anti-tank towers become anti-EVERYTHING towers when directly controlled due to this, as their missiles will [[OneHitKill 1-2 shot most enemies with a direct hit]]. Even '''bombers''' are not safe from your TOW missiles of [[DoomyDoomsOfDoom doom]].

Even '''bombers''' are fair game

* In ''VideoGame/ToySoldiers'', when directly controlling an artillery gun, a mortar, a tank , or an anti-infantry cannon, you can hold down the fire button after launching a shell to enter bullet cam. In bullet cam mode, you can speed up or slow down the projectile ([[YouFailPhysicsForever this does not change the projectile's trajectory]]) as well as adjust its direction, though only to the left or right.

* The ''Nikita'' remote controlled missile is a favourite in the ''Franchise/MetalGear'' series. Normally, the missile is controlled from a top-down view. However, in ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid'', there is an option to go into first-person mode while controlling the missile, displaying full screen the view from the built-in camera onboard, and in ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid2SonsOfLiberty'', this is the view the player is forced into for the Nikita.

* The BillPlympton short ''Draw!'' features a western gunfight from the bullet's point of view.

* ''TheChroniclesOfNarnia: Prince Caspian'' does this twice.

* In an early episode of ''MahouSenseiNegima'' we have an ArrowCam without an arrow as Negi mentally homes in on his lost wizard's staff.

* In ''MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha A's'', Nanoha's first usage of [[WaveMotionGun Divine Buster Extension]] was accompanied by an ArrowCam that rode the pink beam of death all the way to Vita.

* The Visibomb Gun from ''[[VideoGame/RatchetAndClank2002 Ratchet & Clank]]'' has a similar just-behind-the-warhead-view, and enough range (and steerability) that you can often sit at the beginning of the stage, and hit enemies at the very end. It was subsequently toned down in power when it returned in the sequel, ''[[RatchetAndClankGoingCommando Going Commando]]''.

* Late in ''Film/TheAvengers'', an arrow cam rides one of Hawkeye's shots to Loki, who [[ArrowCatch catches it]] with a smirk ... right before [[TrickArrow it explodes]].

* Used in the beginning of the opening title for ''LightNovel/OdaNobunaNoYabou''. The arrow is aimed at the title character, Oda Nobuna, but she slices it in half before it hits her.

* ''Film/ACopAndAHalf'' invented the ''"Twinkie Cam"'' ([[ShapedLikeItself it's like an Arrow Cam]], [[CaptainObvious only attached to a thrown twinkie]]).

* Batarangs in ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamAsylum'' -- you can not only control the RC batarangs but follow the regular ones.

* In various animated media involving ''{{Golgo 13}}''. (There was a homage to this in the animated portion of ''Film/KillBill''.)
