In this scene, Avi, a business associate comes to London from New York. There are 7 shots in 7 seconds which covers the entire 7 hour flight. The sequence uses exaggerated sound effects, which gives the shots added vigor.

The fast cuts in Snatch are used for comedic purposes, in the way that the montage makes it seem that the trip from New York has taken about 10 seconds, whereas in Requiem for a Dream the fast cuts are used in a serious tone portraying drug use.
