A very short clip from Taken 3 of Liam Neeson's character jumping a fence, edited with extremely rapid cuts.
Used as a stock example of overly fast cutting and shaky-cam action filmmaking.

Your comment reminds me of the classic example: Taken 3 where they used 15 cuts in 6 seconds[1] to show Liam Neeson jumping over a fence. You can barely hold people's attention for 400 milliseconds. 1: ▶ this video
> The camera moved at the same speed as Affleck, gliding with unvarying smoothness, which is exactly how Fincher likes his shots to behave. I appreciate this so much. There’s a lot of shaky cam out there and it often gives me motion sickness or confuses my understanding of the scene. It also feels like a cheap trick directors use to create faux excitement, or to cover up sloppy filmmaking. Fincher movies are easy to watch and understand visually. He does a lot of wide shots and long shots without sloppy cuts. In Panic Room he did a single shot (although CGI) that lasted several minutes and showed the viewer around the entire set in a single uninterrupted view. It was glorious. I wish this approach was more common. Although I expect it’s not because it’s hard to accomplish. Here are two of the worst abuses of fast cut, shaky cam scenes out there: ▶ this video link
