John Woo's Hong Kong work also uses an optical printer and shows variations in speed as well as, I believe, the occaisional still. What about Blow Up? I don't remember specifically whether or not the effect is used. Do you?
I'm not sure where you are going with this, but the late 1990s fad for frozen 360 degree shots of action sequences was accomplished with an array of 35mm still cameras, similar to a Muybridge array.
Cheers,

Can anyone think of a moment in a film when the frame freezes and then the
film restarts, capturing the contrast between motion and motionlessness?
Thank-you for any suggestions...
