One of the resident evil movies had at minimum one cut per second. It was there only movie that's ever given me a headache from the camera work.

Also possible/probably influence from the advertising industry. How so?

They did their research and found that (in a 30s ad) shorter cuts hold the viewer's attention more effectively.

I'm sure some people in Hollwywood took notice of this, adapted the principle for their own work... and it succeeded.

And then got widely copied. And here we are today?
