Beat the devil

A friend just shared this with me and I'm blown away by it. It's from a series of shorts by famous directors for BMW with budgets the size of our national debt!
But hey they WERE made a while ago, when budgets were as big as ideas and CamClegg inc. weren't in power!

This short's by Tony Scott, brother of Ridley and maker of The Hunger (one of my fave films) and Top Gun, True Romance and too many other films to mention. Am loving the nod to Alan Parker's Angel Heart and the egg-peeling Louis Cyphre.

Enough of the filmic detail...Starring the salacious, outrageous, sizzling Godfather of Soul selling his to the devil so he can do the splits again is truly 'take it to the bridge!'

And hell yeah, Gary Oldman is a very honky tonk bee-el-zeebub and characteristically unhinged in showy satanic fashion. His sidekick...Machete himself – the uber hardcore Danny Trejo. And even the self-styled prince of thrash darkness, Marilyn Manson, puts in an appearance. It's uptight, outta sight - all ten minutes of it! Be inspired, be very inspired!
