I'm sure Ritchie didn't invent it, but I can't think of any other movies that had a character telegraphing / running through a fight in slow motion in their heads before cutting to the actual fast-paced execution of their attack. Can anyone think of other movies that used this (or a similar) device? It doesn't even necessarily have to be a fistfight. Thanks!
EDIT FOR CLARITY because I now realize my title was poorly-worded:
I'm not so much referring to the editing technique of Speed Ramping, where the scene cuts between slow-mo and regular speed for effect, but rather the narrative device of the fighter predicting how the fight is gonna go (usually in slow-mo) and then executing exactly that plan. The boxing match in Sherlock is the only example I can think of, but there have to be more.
