Sabotage

artist: Beastie Boys

Comparison:

  • Regular Version
  • Extended Version
Release: Apr 23, 2018 - Author: KoRn - Translator: Tony Montana
Compared are the Regular Version and the Extended Version.


In 1984, hip hop pioneers The Beasty Boys released one of their most successful tracks ever: Sabotage. In a very stylish video directed by Spike Jonze, 70s cop shows are being spoofed. Flared pants, huge sunglasses, car chases in narrow streets or donut and coffee... It is all in there.

There are two different versions of the video though. One can only assume why that is but the Extended Version contains more violence against against perps and there is a suitcase full of drugs as well - so you do the math.

Before and after the actual video, there is also a fake interview with the cops in the Extended Version.
Fake Interview Part 1

In the fake interview, one of the cop explains he was trained well, both mentally and physically in order to do the stunts. He demonstrates how he would grab and hit a perp, then he shows one of his kicks and the host applaudes.

In the Extended Version, the gangster gets something out of his pocket, followed by a close-up of a jack knife. He illustrate his skills, then he attacks the cop with it but the cop manages not to get stabbed resp. he makes a smart jump.
In the Regular Version on the other hand, the cop grabs the runner, followed by a close-up of the gangster. Then an entirely different scene with two other cops walking by their squad car.
