Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III starts with a lengthy text scroll in an attempt to fill in the gaps between the first movie and the sequel that apparently never happened.Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie has the text recede into the distance like Star Wars, with Zordon providing narration. The text is read by a female voice completely straight, making the whole thing sound even more ridiculous than it is already. Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: The Movie opens with an expository scroll about the backstory on the source of the Rangers' powers.Similar to Alone in the Dark (2005), The Last Airbender has an opening scroll narrated by Katara.Scarface opens with one of these, describing how Fidel Castro sent Cubans who wanted to join their families to the United States in 1980, along with the dregs of his jails.It ends with "They blew it." And then the opening scene shows us just how. The Monster Squad opens with a scroll about how Abraham Van Helsing, a hundred years before the story begins, gathered a band of freedom fighters to rid the world of vampires and monsters and save mankind from the forces of eternal evil.The Judge Dredd movie begins with a scroll that only adds background information for the setting.It gets to the beginning of a sex scene right when a space shuttle collides with the scrolling text, causing it to disappear with a glass-breaking effect. However, it tells a story that's completely unrelated to the plot of the movie. Airplane II: The Sequel has one that is slanted "into the screen" like the Star Wars one.The Movie of Æon Flux inexplicably starts with the scroll, and then still has a monologue after it.The combination of dry line reads and white-on-black title cards have been clocked at killing enthusiasm in 32.83 seconds. And the worse part? The opening crawl in the final movie was the improved version where they added a narrator to read the text out loud after test audiences complained that the opening was too wordy.

The Phantom Creeps, a serial starring Bela Lugosi as a Mad Scientist used the same fading away from camera opening crawl.The exposition that follows the credits is presented as a standard title card. 1939 film Union Pacific uses this style but only for the opening credits, in a sequence superimposed over railroad tracks going off into the horizon.Of course, Star Wars pilfered the idea from the movie serials Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe, dating respectively from 19.

In the Star Wars spoof Spaceballs, as the expository scroll is disappearing into the distance, a small line of text suddenly appears at the end: "If you can read this, you don't need glasses.".(It does provide written exposition as the movie starts, just not in scroll form or with the bombastic theme.) The Opening Scroll is apparently only going to be used for the numbered Episodes of the Skywalker Saga. Solo: A Star Wars Story also averts it, solidifying a precedent for the Anthology films to lack the scroll.Rogue One notably averts it, however- which might thematically make sense if only because its events are directly referenced by the very first employment of this, in A New Hope.

note Although the first one needed Brian De Palma to rewrite it to be the classic it is.
