The first installment of the Spy series, directed by Doug Liman, averaged about 4 seconds of camera time and ran 119 minutes. This is a fairly typical specification for a commercial movie, and the conversion tells us that the shot count should be around 1800. Usually the number of shots in a 90-minute commercial movie is around 1,500 - 2,000 shots are not too many. And to the second part of the green grass directed, the average shot time became a shocking 1.9 seconds! Based on the 108-minute length of the second movie, its shot count reached a terrifying 3,410! That's equal to two average 90-minute commercial movies! The third film, Spyder, actually beat out a number of films at the Oscars, winning the Best Editing Oscar without being nominated for Best Picture - which is generally considered to be a precursor to Best Picture, and is so closely associated with it that it is rare for a film not nominated for Best Picture to win the Best Editing award.
"The Three Darts" is a three-hour western that begins at the 163-minute mark with a duel between three dartsmen in a graveyard, a trio of scene-setting and editing modes that, along with the stirring music, has been the subject of many subsequent movie tributes. Pieces of Memory Nolan's movie, the biggest highlight is the story structure. The editing is also great. The same type of movie also has Aamir Khan's Unknown Death. Wong Kar-wai's films have unique editing characteristics, canned music with fast editing, the use of fragments and colors to create the atmosphere and so on. Some of the more impressive are: "Mongkok Carmen" in which Andy Lau fights in a food stall in a hard photo collage to show fast action. The handheld photography and frame stealing additions in the opening scene of Chungking Woods, and the slow motion of Tony Leung drinking coffee with the fast background of the city.
