By the early '90s, thanks to Avid Technology's nonlinear editing system, digital cutting was in wide use. (It would become omnipresent after Apple introduced Final Cut Pro.) Quick-fire montage had always been a foolproof way for filmmakers to raise the energy level, but with digital editing, cuts could be added to a sequence with comparative ease. (The abuse, or purposeful overuse, of this technique was first common in music videos, hence the mostly pejorative term MTV aesthetic.) One of the most belligerent applications of the premillennial collage style can be found in Oliver Stone's woozy media satire Natural Born Killers (1994). In this opening sequence (the fight kicks in at about the three-minute mark), you can see an early (and actually quite legible) version of today's drunken-camera dust-ups.
