At the 1994 MTV Music Awards, when R.E.M.’s Everybody Hurts scooped the Best Direction category, Michael Stipe’s speech was unceremoniously interrupted by one Nathaniel Hornblower. Finding it necessary to mention that he was the Swiss man who “had all the ideas for Star Wars and everything”, Hornblower lamented Spike Jonze’s failure to win this award for his directing of the Beastie Boys’ Sabotage. In reality, Hornblower was an alias for MCA of the Brooklyn hip-hop trio and his choice to storm the stage in absurd costume was fitting with the style of the beloved 1970s cop-show spoof music video. Shot as a parody cum tribute to shows like Hawaii 5-0 and Starsky and Hutch, Sabotage is precisely what the Beastie Boys did best: pop culture references and chaos. A high octane, low budget mock trailer, complete with deliberately fluffed insertions of stock footage and rubbish props, this is a feast of schlock that any aficionado of exploitation movies will appreciate. However, the cinematography during its many nonsensical chase sequences are the real highlight as Jonze’s skater background adds a dash of cool to the crass platter, taking us back to the halcyon days of yore when moustaches and men called Bunny were the most voluminous things on Earth.
