Is that Bill Paxton? It's like one of those awful Mad Max ripoff flicks...GAME OVER MAN!

Here's the description from youtube:

In 1988, Actor Bill Paxton and vocalist/guitarist Andrew Todd Rosenthal formed a short-lived rock duo Martini Ranch. They recorded and released just one album entitled Holy Cow, which included inputs from Devo members Mark Mothersbaugh, Bob Casale and Alan Myers (all of whom contributed to the album's hit "How Can the Labouring Man Find Time For Self-Culture?"), along with Cindy Wilson of the B-52's as a back-up vocalist and actor Judge Reinhold is credited as a whistler on "Reach". The video was directed by James Cameron, director of Terminator & Aliens. It is remarkably, the only music video he ever shot.

The video includes cameos from director Kathryn Bigelow, as well as Aliens and Terminator alumni Lance Henriksen, Paul Reiser, Mark Rolston and Jenette Goldstein (from Aliens), Judge Reinhold, and Adrian Pasdar who had appeared in Bigelow's Near Dark) with Paxton, Goldstein and Henriksen.

We believe, according to many of the actresses appearing in this video who mailed us, to be one of the last few owning a playable VHS of this video. Ours was duplicated by Bill Paxton himself back in the late 80's and distributed for promotion. Here it is for all those who starred in it and have junked their tape Bill made for them, and all those who never got to see it. Enjoy... or die !

Sorry.

I was looking at some hi-res screenshots and really liked this one. I love the look on his face as he's talking to Chew...and while Leon is playing around with him.

[wax murderer]

Utterly silly...PS

 

[CelticPredator]

That'd make a sweet movie actually...Cameron should've done a Western. He's pretty good at it.

 

[Gruson]

Yeah, Im a big 80s fan and didnt really care for it.

 

[Bamboota]

Well....this isn't a thread u see in the Alien Robot section everyday.


Thanx for sharing Batty! I bet that Music Video would have won an Oscar too!

 

[D'oh!]

I seem to recall seeing this on MTV once back in the day.

Once was enough.

 

[a-dev]

Does MTV still not show music videos anymore? Haven't watched it in a long time but as I recall it had degenerated into crap like the Osbournes, Pimp my ride, ******* etc etc

 

[EVILFACE]

There is no money in music videos anymore.
