Why it works
The rear-view image emerges from black by frame 41 and stays long enough for the first admission at about 3.14 s to feel considered. An 11-frame and 21-frame pair of inserts interrupts long action passages; the continuous shot 5–6 hand-off lets the physical result carry the reversal before the fade from frame 902.
