i might be imagining it but: in "the big red one", don't we have a shock cut into the oven of the gas chamber, towards the end? it's a reverse angle shot from that actor who played luke skywalker. maybe the cut into colour in "shock corridor" could be termed a "shock cut" too. and i'd be amazed if the bit when our protagonist winds up in the room with "nymphos" isn't done as a shock cut... the bit when she advances towards him... very stimulating film-making. ben -----Original Message----- From: Patricia White [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: 01 July 2003 17:43 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: shock cut For a textbook, I'm looking for a good example of a shock cut, preferably from a film by Sam Fuller. thanks!
