James Cameron Directs Lance Henriksen in Music Video

[ethsnafu]

Well I never knew this....

In 1988, Actor Bill Paxton and vocalist/guitarist Andrew Todd Rosenthal formed a short-lived rock duo Martini Ranch. They recorded and released just one album entitled Holy Cow, which included inputs from Devo members Mark Mothersbaugh, Bob Casale and Alan Myers (all of whom contributed to the album's hit "How Can the Labouring Man Find Time For Self-Culture?"), along with Cindy Wilson of the B-52's as a back-up vocalist and actor Judge Reinhold is credited as a whistler on "Reach". The video was directed by James Cameron, director of Terminator & Aliens. It is remarkably, the only music video he ever shot.

The video includes cameos from director Kathryn Bigelow, as well as Aliens and Terminator alumni Lance Henriksen, Paul Reiser, Mark Rolston and Jenette Goldstein (from Aliens), Judge Reinhold, and Adrian Pasdar who had appeared in Bigelow's Near Dark) with Paxton, Goldstein and Henriksen.

I managed to find the video on Youtube and here's what the uploader had to say.

We believe, according to many of the actresses appearing in this video who mailed us, to be one of the last few owning a playable VHS of this video. Ours was duplicated by Bill Paxton himself back in the late 80's and distributed for promotion. Here it is for all those who starred in it and have junked their tape Bill made for them, and all those who never got to see it. Enjoy... or die !

Sit back and enjoy a music video with, surely, the most talented cast and crew to have ever worked on one.

That an interesting and cool find Mark! Paul Reiser was hilarious in that 90's comedy show that used to be on Sky, I can't recall the name of it now but it also starred Helen Hunt.

'Mad About You' was the show and it was excellent

Have a rep point! That's the show, I used to love watching. I think it used to be on Thursday nights around 9pm.

But, back to James Cameron...

This is a great find, and I love these kinds of cheesy 80's song, love those drums, the kick and snare. Yummy!

Lance was pretty cool in it.

Freeze!!
