Rate Fight For Your Right Revisited

[Kid Presentable]

I'll make it anonymous. Comment or not, just interested to see what people think.

[MCScoobyT]

Since it's jocking the Def Jam era so hard... I want want a Rick Rubin remix of Make Some Noise!

[cj hood]

A+

they switched it up...embraced FFYR...gave a nod to their past...like others, i wish they rapped it...but it's a solid vid!

[Kid Presentable]

I think it is positive for particular things, and for me those things are the new songs. The main feature I won't comment on.

[M|X|Y]

i kind of dont care too much about this video. its cool, its fun, i think its really great that they've gotten such a strong show of support from hollywood and i think they're awesome for doing this.. AAAND im going to enjoy it profoundly, but im REALLY excited about the music(y)

[pshabi]

As far as the quality of the film.....it is what it is. But, as a whole.....it's genius to me. It's the bboys doing what they do.....which is some other shit that nobody else has thought of.

You've got the long form vid with all the cameos, which is cool because like other's have said, they embrace the def jam era. They also touch on the subject (albeit lightheartedly) of what would have happened if they never changed. All that is cool, but that ALONG with the short form, it's just a great idea. Then, using it as an avenue to release new music, publicize the album, and get major airtime on all the music channels. Bravo Bboys. It's very creative marketing. They are doing something BRAND NEW. And they are doing it on their own terms, by themselves.

BRAVO BEASTIE BOYS

I gave it 4 stars but should've gave it 5 based on the reasons in the above post.

[JoLovesMCA]

I gave it 5 stars and pshabi you said a lot of what I was thinking! Their way of marketing themselves is very original and unlike anybody else and it's been that way from the beginning. I mean all these years they have been around and I've yet to see any band put so much creativity into their work as a whole. You usually get an album, promotion and a tour. Beasties take it to a whole other level. Plus the fact that they have enough talent/abilities among the three of them ALONE that at the end of the day they can pull off the entire thing without the having to hire ANYBODY but themselves.

Anyway I agree that they touched on all of the highlights of their career and wrapped it up really well in the end. I keep thinking about the License to Ill home video with the cops coming in breaking up the party and then they are whisked away in the cop car. It's so damn funny!

And again if I can reiterate they aren't out to make a video that's going to please the masses. I always liked MCA's quote years ago that they will always make music that they LOVE and if everybody else ends up liking it then GREAT.

:o:o:o

[Kid Presentable]

They're going to be more well known for the comebacks than for the music.

[Bernard Goetz]

It was a hell of a lot more entertaining than I was expecting. It's exciting to see them embrace inspired nuggets of right-out WTF-ness, like the nitrous balloon, the stabbing, the pissing contest, and the general mayhem. The Beastie Boys of the 'Alive' video would be shocked by such behavior.
I also thought it was pretty well-paced for a Nathaniel Hornblower production.

When you hiatus as hard as the boys you have to come back even harder!

:D


Video was VERY fun, four stars, made me extra excited for the HSCp2 era, excellent job, I'd say!

[cj hood]

hey sneaker freaks: were they the original adidas in the vid or remakes?

[Deep_Sea_Rain]

I missed catching it on TV....anyone know where/if I can watch it online?

[JoLovesMCA]

They're going to be more well known for the comebacks than for the music.

Well if some people want to look at it as a comeback that’s fine but at the end of the day the MUSIC is still amazing and I am sure once this FILMIO thing blows over folks will be focused on the new material. (y)

They need our SUPPORT, it's what fans do! :D

[Micodin]

hey sneaker freaks: were they the original adidas in the vid or remakes?

The sneakers Seth was rocking are remakes.

Mike always wore the Ewing "Conductor" Adidas High Tops all white with the orange and blue piping.

I had a couple pair in the 80's.

[Micodin]

MCA and Adrock used to rock the all white adidas Golf shoe and the Conductors.

I can't remember the name... They had no stripes on them just holes to look like the 3 stripes.

mca rocked the stan smiths....

wood's adrock is uncanny....he studied his shit!

[Bernard Goetz]

wood's adrock is uncanny....he studied his shit!

Totally. He's the only one actually acting!

[M.C. Guevera]

He's a surprising choice, especially since he's not a comedian like the rest of the actors portraying the Beasties. He must be a huge fan.

[Jiberish]

3 stars. It's wicked entertaining... I really enjoyed it. I especially love how much they are making fun of themselves in this. and the druggy effects are awesome. But the ending was 'meh' [why didn't they at least play the "SABOTAGE COPS" if they were gonna show up as cops?] and I really only laughed three or four times.

so even though I loved it. 3 stars. Better than most videos I've seen in a while. but did't knock my socks off. Solid idea and production though.

I might come back later and change this to 4 starts... shit.

[Bradleystp]

Totally. He's the only one actually acting!

Wood was the best in my opinion. He did the best 'imitation' while rapping, for sure. It is obvious that he took it seriously and watched some Adrock performances to get the movements/gestures down. The other guys were good, but not doing imitations. I don't think that Seth Rogan can actually play anyone except Seth Rogan. He is the same in everything he does.

The film was weird and fun, and had a ton of people and great references in it, but the ending is very anticlimactic. Unfortunately the end takes away from the rest of the film. My friends were laughing and enjoying it until the end, where they were like "What was that?".

[mca64]

it was quite boring for me

[Micodin]

wood's adrock is uncanny....he studied his shit!

Cosign!

When he starts it off it's uncanny! Every time I take a double take.

[Travis Bickle]

Cosign!

Co-co-sign. So true. I was impressed.

[cj hood]

my boy talked to ricky about the flick....all parties agree that he should have been represented.

[jamestech]

I have to give it 5 stars, never in my life (I am 40) have I watched a music video 10 plus times in a single day , I don't keep track but I am pretty sure the record before F.F.Y.R.R. was 4 or 5 times at the most.
Awesome video, it deserves an Academy Award for the best music video of the year. Thanks Beastie Boys, I appreciate your work on this video. :cool:
I will have Hot Sauce Committee Pt. 2 on release day and be rocking it hard on my pretty capable system (http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q186/bentvalve/81728.jpg?t=1303520056).:cool:
Anyone near the Canadian border here in western WA is welcome to come over and hear the album in its entirety with me on May 3rd...bring sum beer. :cool:

[jamestech]

There are not as many 5 star votes as I expected to see, maybe its because I am a huge movie fan/collector and I appreciate the movie quality the video has. Seriously folks.....there is some good acting in this video and the story is timeless and flat out good! :cool:

[MCScoobyT]

With the bands near break up after the ITL tour and some tension between members (fueled by Rick and Russell) I bet Mike D did really want to piss on Ad-Rock a few times, back in the day.

[BBboy20]

I was able to spot some actors who didn't even get any noticeable screen time.

[jamestech]

I was able to spot some actors who didn't even get any noticeable screen time.

Yep, there were a lot of actors and actresses in the video, dang near every single person you see in the video. :p

Hey, Beastie Boys, put that long version of Fight For Your Right Revisited out on blu-ray disc in high definition. I would buy it in 2 seconds flat! :cool:

[destructo]

Nice!

[pm0ney]

It was fucking great. Loved it, it will go down as another moment of genius by the boys. Im rating it a 4/5 because Seth Rogen really couldn't hang with Elijah Wood in terms of rapping to the camera. Thats about the only negative I could think of here.

[roosta]

i really liked it - but its really a treat for Beastie's fanatics. I think non-Beastie's obsessives would just find it ok, good enough. I thought it was great though - nicely odd and bonkers.

I found the bit in the limo and the dance fight really laugh out loud funny. I don't know why but the whole Bon Jovi groupies chicks bit was the highlight.

Also seeing a Buddhist wield a police baton with such fury was funny....

But it is a genius piece of promotion. Over the past few weeks since the trailer hit its been all over blogs and Twitter. A Beasties album usually gets a fair amount of attention (they are one of the few groups that are able to get this so many years after they started) but there's always the fear they'll slip out of the mainstream consciousness. But this clip was being tweeted around by everyone, even the most casual fan of the Beasties (and just music fans in general). Great promotion - there's little doubt now a new Beasties record is imminent.

[cAm]

5/5

the limo scene is great!

[Guy Incognito]

its brilliant. getting the lino off the delorean was magic. there is a sentence i thought i would never use. really funny, i was worried that somebody might phone one in but it was a great idea well done. And as a promo it works cos i havent stopped thinking about the music all day. danny mcbride just about edged it in terms of top performance

TMR sounded very impressive as both a vocal and an instrumental track.

[Bernard Goetz]

my boy talked to ricky about the flick....all parties agree that he should have been represented.

Word. That was the only disappointment. And Ricky isn't exactly being quiet about it on FB.

[Kid Presentable]

Ricky should shut the fuck up and be thankful for the free ride he got. Rick Rubin, Russel Simmons or Dust Brothers (since Johnny Ryall and George Drakoulias were alluded to) weren't represented either, and they did far more than bang groupies and take photos.

[Brother McDuff]

seriously. the bboys don't owe him shit.

[Kid Presentable]

If he wants more than throwback props he should get off his bum ass and do something.

ricky was in the original vid....i don't think it'd be a stretch to have him represented in it.

[Kid Presentable]

Fuck him. Takes two to tango. Shouldn't have to crawl up a hill to get him involved. If he's down he can make it known.

EDIT: in the very least, the film obviously portrays what happened after the video. His character would still be upstairs with the rest of them.

[camo]

I loved it.

It's like MJ reached down from heaven holding aloft the 'celebrity cameo in my music video mantle' and the beasties jumped up, grabbed it and made this.

It's like MJ surfaced up from hell holding aloft the 'celebrity cameo in my music video mantle' and the beasties bent down, grabbed it and made this.

[M.C. Guevera]

I still haven't been able to spot Alicia Silverstone and that dude from Heroes who are apparently also in the film.

[MCMel]

I will agree with everybody else that Elijah was perfect as Ad-Rock! Also felt the other two had the individual walks/mannerisms down really well. Also loved Tenzin's cameo with her passing the skateboard to MCA. :o

I gave it 5 stars because I haven't seen a music video that ever made me laugh like this, it didn't take itself too seriously, it was fun. (y)

[M.C. Guevera]

Seriously, Elijah's Adrock deserves all the praise that it gets. Either he's an obsessive B-Boy fan or he studied the dude like one studies John F. Kennedy or Martin Luther King Jr. for a film role. Motherfucker had him down pat!

[Matchstikk]

I still haven't been able to spot Alicia Silverstone and that dude from Heroes who are apparently also in the film.

I haven't been able to see an HD version yet, but I think Silverstone is at one of the front tables at Ted Danson's restaurant in a black dress with white outlines. I think.

Its coming on at 4pmPST/7pmEST on Palladia, this will be my first HD viewing so I am gonna crank it hard on MY SYSTEM (http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q186/bentvalve/81728.jpg). I have not seen her for sure yet either, but I bet you are right.

[Bernard Goetz]

The best part of the whole thing is the hot dog sequence, the way McBride delivers those awesome Yauch lines.

[cj hood]

who's the (smoking) cop driving the paddy wagon?

[Matchstikk]

who's the (smoking) cop driving the paddy wagon?

I was wondering that, too. And who is the cab driver?

[Bernard Goetz]

That cop looked to me (on one viewing) like the guy who played Bill Haverchuk on Freaks and Geeks. Not sure of that at all though.

[Brother McDuff]

who's the (smoking) cop driving the paddy wagon?


"Martin Starr ... Paddy Wagon Driver"


as listed on imdb, 2nd to last credit under full cast and crew list. I believe this is the same dude that grew the "Scorsese on coke" beard in "Knocked Up".

9 Lessons Learned From the Beastie Boys’ Fight For Your Right: Revisited Film (http://www.movieline.com/2011/04/9-lessons-learned-from-the-beastie-boys-fight-for-your-right-revisited-film-1.php)

[jamestech]

Only 16 or 24% voted 5 stars so far(n), looks like only 24% of the voters are real Beastie Boys fans. Yes, if you voted less than 5 stars then you don't get it. If this were my poll 5 stars would have been the least stars and 10 stars would be the upper end. If you voted under 5 stars then go find another website to post at because id rather read from actual B.B. fans not wanna be fans that are hogging up bandwidth that belongs to the Beastie Boys.

[JoLovesMCA]

Ditto. All of my faves have Yauch but I can't help that, it's just what I like. Although there are other bits I enjoy...

Cowbell car scene with Ferrel. All of the funky angles of him standing on the car was so damn funny. I couldn't stop laughing.

The whole pie conversation at the beginning was great.

Ad-Rock's from the future and his lines with the whole challenge to the dance off.

Johnny Ryall's facial expressions!

Beer can throw in the beginning. Who's the actor again? He was great!

Metal Chicks, Bon Jovi limo discussion...

I loved loved loved the way Yauch SLOWED down the music and sped it back up again and the actors I thought did really great on that too.

So yeah loads of funny stuff but the hot dog sequence and then the real Yauch bopping him on the back with the police baton was perfect!

I am sure there is more, but those moments stand out to me! :p

[M|X|Y]

who's the (smoking) cop driving the paddy wagon?

i think this was a dude who did a really great interview of horovitz like last year i think... it was an interview in front of an audience in nyc, at a school?

looked like that guy at least

him? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1-GHysrrPM ? i dunno, this is the first person i thought of

i see some so-so comments about the interviewer on the youtube page, but i really this enjoyed the interview.

[Documad]

Word. That was the only disappointment. And Ricky isn't exactly being quiet about it on FB.

Wow, do you mean he's dumb enough to bitch about it in public? I was embarrassed for him when CJ Hood posted that, but if he went public I guess its fair game. If it were me, I'd pretend that I was too busy with my own shit to worry about it.

Aw, shit. Do we really have to add this to the "real fan" credentials? I think we used to have a list or a test or something. Where did we put it?

It was a "trip". It was cool until they all started pissing on each other.. Haha!! I hope there is more to this video...

It was awesome seeing all the cameos, but it coulda been a little better IMO. I enjoyed the actual "music video" parts, spider-man does a good Adrock. The unscripted comedy was a little out of control, just too much dialogue leading nowhere that wasn't all that funny. There were moments of comedy I did enjoy though(the restaurant scene, what up Steve Buschemi!). I guess i just really wasn't feeling the dance-off scene, i guess i just didn't get it when they started peeing on each other...

[cypressphil]

Entertaining but the puerile ending kind of spoiled it. Spotting all the cameos was fun.
