Match-on-action
In this extract of The Bourne Identity, there are a couple of examples of match-on-action. The first example I noticed was about 20 seconds in, and there is a close-up of the steering wheel. It then cuts to a long shot of the Mini turning right into the alleyway. The steering wheel is the start of the action and the car turning is the completion of the action.
Another example is after around 1:45 minutes and there is a shot of a car crashing into a yellow van. It then cuts to another shot from a different angle which shows the van toppling over. The car hitting the van is the start of the action, and the van toppling is the completion.
Shot/reverse/shot and 180 degree rule
In this extract from Enemy of the State, there is an example of both shot/reverse/shot and the 180 degree rule. After about 2.30 minutes, there are two men having a convosation on a bench. During this next sequence, only two shots are used which are close-ups of each characters face as they talk. However, these shots are used repeatadely to create a convosation. During this sequence, the camera always stays in a 180 degree arc, which is behind the bench. This means each character has his own side of the frame which avoids confusion for the viewer.
