A money shot is a moving or stationary visual element of a film, video, television broadcast, or print publication that is disproportionately expensive to produce or is perceived as essential to the overall importance or revenue-generating potential of the work. Origin and cinematographic senses William Safire identifies the use of the word "''money'' as a modifier meaning 'powerful, decisive'" as far back as 1949 ("money hits" in baseball), and possibly to 1890 (a "money player" in billiards). By 1977 the phrase had entered American usage as slang for the cum shot in a pornographic film: that is, a shot of the male actor ejaculating outside his partner. This is the filmed moment that the audience has paid money to see.
