New York Film Academy:
An abrupt cut from one scene to another without a smooth transition.
Example sentences:

If you’ve got a loud scene that immediately goes to a quiet scene or vice versa, this is where you’d use the smash cut. You want to use it when you’re transitioning between two completely different scenes, emotions, or narratives and you need to make an abrupt transition. (Pond5 blog)
Suddenly, there is a visual and an audio smash cut to introduce Samuel L. Jackson’s character: the visual smash cut is created by going from the girl dancing, with music background, to a close up of a clock. (Introduction to Film & Media Studies)

Harter Schnitt
Definition from
An online document about "Filmschnitt" :
"Harter Schnitt" bedeutet, dass zwischen zwei aufeinander folgenden Bildern keine direkte Verbindung besteht (örtlicher oder zeitlicher Wechsel), denn auch nicht überblendete Schnitte können beispielsweise durch Bewegungsanschluss oder Tonüberlappungen "weich" bzw. nicht bewusst wahrnehmbar werden.
Example sentences:
This is a youtube video that shows what a "Harter Schnitt" is. (youtube)
