Max Payne 3 - future data skip in Chapter 3-3
5I found this skip a while ago, but only now figured out a consistent setup for it. It saves 15-20 seconds. Sadly, it isn't used in the main story category because of the lack of future data possibilities.
The skip will mainly be worth it in Score Attack runs, though, and it also features shooting Passos. So that's always a plus.

0:13 - activate future data after fighting all enemies. Max is teleported to the elevator cutscene. You then have to use the elevator prompt too as it flashes on the screen to "complete" this Checkpoint and move onto Chapter 3-4 early.
0:15 - activate bullet time and start firing at Passos as soon as possible when Max is stepping out of the elevator. If you don't activate bullet time, Max falls through the floor instead, making it nearly impossible to hit Passos.
To explain: Passos needs to be shot to force a retry. That ends the combined cutscene and returns the game to normal.
0:21 - so now the skip is complete. As another small timesave, you can resolve the Passos interrogation scene sooner by shooting the thug yourself from the corridor. The fastest possible way to do this is by just clicking "shoot" without moving mouse as Max steps out of the elevator - it looks a bit different compared to the slightly slower version that is on this video.
