* ''WebAnimation/StrongBadEmail'': Wildly-changing cuts, {{zoom}}-ins, and camera angles are heavily abused in the Cheat's attempt at "Youth Through Editing" in [[Recap/StrongBadEmailE164LookingOld "Looking Old"]].

* WebVideo/{{Smosh}}'s ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuA-7qxd2A0 MANSPIDER!]]'' plays this one with RuleOfCool and RuleOfFunny. There's a scene where a guy removes his towel and then asks "Who wants to go skinny dipping?" only for Manspider (Anthony) to answer "No one!" and then whip the towel at him, making him fall into the pool. Cue the montage of numerous takes of the guy's falling in different angles.

* Any time in ''Manga/SoulEater'' when Death the Kid fires the Death Cannon, there are four takes of the show from different angles (counting the first one) the one exception in the anime is the final fight against the Kishin, where he fires it multiple times without the cuts.

* In ''Film/GIJane'', the scene in which Creator/DemiMoore's character shaves her head.
* Creator/ChristopherNolan sometimes [[DownplayedTrope downplays]] this trope, such as in the hospital explosion in ''Film/TheDarkKnight''. As shown [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-iuuwOtsow here]], Nolan filmed the explosion from several angles, but decided to put only two in the finished movie.
* ''Film/BicentennialMan'': During the scene where Andrew is [[HarpoDoesSomethingFunny telling jokes]] to the family, the camera starts off as if it is placed on the table looking up at him, but {{Jump|Cut}}s around so that we can get [[ReactionShot everyone's reactions]] as they dissolve into uncontrollable laughter.

* ''Series/{{NCIS}}'' uses it in pretty much every establishing shot, with a few seconds clearly passing between each cut. Presumably done to give a sense of hurry.
%%* ''Series/DoctorWho'': Done in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS28E9TheSatanPit "The Satan Pit"]] during the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqlqQsKG94I "if I believe in one thing"]] speech.

* Many local news shows have reporters record on-location promotional blurbs.

* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYjqojwp2hQ Then You Look At Me]]", by Music/CelineDion, has Dion in the middle of a [[TechnologyPorn lab where they're building NDR114 robots]]. Dion stays in one spot, [[ThreeMinutesOfWrithing dancing in a skimpy outfit]], while the camera jumps around the entire room, sometimes focusing on her from the front, the sides, or on all the equipment.
%%* Of course, it's also common in [[MusicVideoTropes music videos]].

* Sexy Silvia's exclusive power in ''VideoGame/ViewtifulJoe2'' is to playback the same attack three times for triple damage, even though you only attacked once.
* Done in the videogame ''VideoGame/TheDarkness'' in the loading screens. Nicky has a series of monologues while he's sitting or standing under a spotlight. He talks directly ahead but the camera will constantly change angles.
* In the final battle with Bowser in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy'', this happens when Mario lands the finishing blow.

An editing technique in which the exact same action (such as a [[TalkingHeads talking head]]) is filmed from various angles all around the subject, then edited together with {{Jump Cut}}s amongst all the different angles. Similar to the RepeatCut, except that the action is not actually repeated.

Because this trope is [[OmnipresentTropes so ubiquitous]] in stunts, please submit '''Non-Stunt Examples''' only:
* Sam Waterston's spots for TD Waterhouse
* ''Series/{{NCIS}}'' uses it in pretty much every establishing shot, with a few seconds clearly passing between each cut. Presumably done to give a sense of hurry.
* ''Animal Exploration with Jarod Miller''

Outside of stunt work, the MultiTakeCut tends to be more common in television commercials, but can also be utilized for talking heads in some movies and TV shows, often in combination with the JitterCam. The intention seems to be to add a sense of movement or frenetic excitement to an otherwise dull, boringly static scene. It can also be a bit discombobulating to the viewer, an effect which might actually be desirable in, say, a mystery or thriller.
