Why do older movies (not the silent movies which are intentionally sped up) look like they’re fast paced when characters move across the screen?

Question

Like Hard-Boiled by John woo for instance. The characters move quickly and recklessly across different points in the screen. The same is for other movies before 2000s. Is it cinematography or did the actors used to move really fast?

Answer 1

(not an answer, but the old movies arent intentionally sped up, they’re sped up because we run 24 fps now, but back then we ran 12-16, causing those frames to pass by faster)

Edit: numbers wrong
