Everyone would have just moaned it was ripping off Old Boy then! I don't normally like fast, flashy post-MTV editing (drove me absolutely mental in Marvel Avengers Asemble, for example) but I thought it was done superbly well with an excellent sense of dynamics in The Raid. The editing impressed me greatly. You could still see the martial arts choreography even though there was fast cutting. I got the impression in Marvel Avengers Assemble that that fast cutting was there instead of choreography, as you couldn't see a bloody thing!
