This 35-second Iron Fist fight scene with 56 cuts shows how not to edit action
Netflix’s latest Marvel collaboration Iron Fist has not gone down well with critics, the general consensus being that it’s a lazier superhero vehicle than many of those that came before it.
One of the key areas in which it is lacking is its action, typified by this fight scene posted on Reddit today which features 56 cuts in just 35 seconds of footage (a la Taken).
The result of the fast cutting is a disorientating, messy and ultimately not particularly impactful sequence
