I agree with this so much (Gaming)

I remember seeing a very interesting interview with Jackie Chan, where he complained about the editing in Hollywood actions films.

He said that action films today cut exactly on the hit. This is so true. This is a problem because you never actually see the hit. What he does when he cuts is show the hit twice. You see a punch land, cut, and on the new angle the hand is back 3 frames or so, then it hits again. Because they eye and brain take a moment to adjust after a cut, it ends up combining the two hits into one bigger one.

I just finished cutting an action movie, so I tried it. It's amazing. Everything has a heft and weight to it. The hits feel like hits! All because you purposely break continuity and don't try to be slick.

Smart guy.
