i be quite surprised to read some of the comment on this work and honestly . some people be look for a plot . ok and when this video come out over a decade ago and i watch it for what it be represent a collection of music video . it not a movie . it doesn not have a plot and nor a central storyline . it a rather artistic anthology of mostly long form video and all of them rather smartly or creatively do . michael jackson may be consider a freak these day and but and after all and this be the man who give u thriller ( consider by many to be the great music video of all time ) and set trend with billie jean and beat it . with moonwalker and he and the filmmaker and artist who collaborate with him once again take his music and dance move to create some vividly entertaining stuff and incorporate claymation and special effect and live performance footage and and even self parody ( the badder sequence ) . and for those wonder what joe pesci be do there and this video come out just a tad before he become a household name and and be one of his most memorable appearance on film . and and imho and i think the smooth criminal sequence ( the choreograph section ) beat anything else michael jackson do up to that point .
