I'm no film expert, but it seems to me worth mentioning the quite recent development in sport broadcasting, where they frequently break the 180 degree rule, but always with a caption saying something like "reverse angle". I don't recall ever seeing this until maybe a couple of years ago. Tannin 08:15, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
maybe a list of films where the rule is broken would be nice ... I can't think of any film right now though. Also, what if it's a scene where the camera slowly moves around the dialogue actors in a full 360° circle? (clem 20:01, 3 May 2005 (UTC))
[edit] Clarification needed
This statement needs to be qualified or explained better before it can be put back into the article: "(Notice that it is forbidden in fictional film to place the camera on the axis)." NeoThe1 16:38, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Matrix?
-Maybe mention the largest violation of this rule in mainstream film, when Neo opposes Agent Smith in the subway after a bullet-time sequence. The camera swiches 180 a few times in a row to show both guns are empty. used to great effect, and would add to the article by showing that this rule is not set in stone, and has been used in film.
