The opening credits to Gunga Din. Check that shit out.

Isn't there a stunt at the beginning of Indiana Jones & The Temple Of Doom that involves the use of a gong - to dodge bullets or something?

Any film by the Rank Group from the 30s and 40s. Love that opening...

yes Chris, but the actual gong used to make the sound was about a foot tall. The one the guy hits is cardboard.

WHY MUST YOU SPOIL DREAMS?

Can't think of many good candidates beyond all the previously mentioned. Erm...well, there was a Gong Show Movie, allegedly.

The Rank Group were still doing that same "gong opening" right up until Drop Dead Fred in 1991.

Think Jackie Chan rips off Indiana Jones gong scene in Armour of God.

The answer has to be Roger Waters beating the shit out of the gong in Live in Pompeii, right?
