Footage from behind the scenes of the making of “Smooth Criminal.”
Michael laughing his ass off at Brandon Adams imitating him is my favorite part 😂😂
38 years ago today, MTV premiered Michael Jackson’s “Smooth Criminal” short film. White suit, fedora, 1930s club and that anti gravity lean that still looks like pure magic. Directed by Colin Chilvers and built as the centerpiece of MJ’s Moonwalker anthology it pays homage to The Band Wagon starring Fred Astaire, while giving the world one of MJ’s most quintessential visual moments.
Thirty Eight years later, Annie’s still not okay and neither is anyone who tries to recreate that lean without the proper gear.
