Sabotage (Beastie Boys)



Sabotage is an homage and parody of 1970s crime drama television series like Hawaii Five-0, The Streets of San Francisco, S.W.A.T., Baretta, and Starsky and Hutch. In the video, the band members appears as the show characters. Each band member is introduced as a fictional actor, and the names of the characters are also given.

The characters appearing on the show are: · Sir Stewart Wallace guest-starring as himself (played by MCA) · Nathan Wind as Cochese (also played by MCA) · Vic Colfari as Bobby, "The Rookie" (played by Ad-Rock) · Alasondro Alegré as "The Chief" (played by Mike D) · Fred Kelly as Bunny (played by DJ Hurricane)

Some scenes had to be removed when this video was shown on MTV, including a knife-fight sequence, a falling-off-a-bridge scene, a scene in which one of the men were thrown out of a car on the street, as well as some brief scenes of MCA in yellowface, playing a kung-fu master.
