[RARE] The Making Of: Smooth Criminal | Unseen Footage, No Voice-over (Remastered) 

Incredible footage. Imagine being able to work on that set. I would actually work for free just to have been there

5:57 glad to see the man on the right is getting as excited as me and he is literally WORKING with Michael😂

Where is there an artist with this much vision today???? A true artist and he was able to create jobs for other creatives, wardrobe, dance choreography crew, film crew, set crew, lighting, make up the lot.

There will never be another MJ. Thank you for all the memories Michael….We shall never forget all that you gave us the fans. 1000 years could pass and there you will stand alone as the king of pop. Thank you. Rest in peace.

5:45 Wanna know who was Michael Jackson? That's him, a glimpse of his unparalleled genius. You don't learn this, you're born for this.

6:03 a real artist, he put the emotions in his songs , that s why there are amazing ❣

We truly didn't deserve Michael he was a genius I love you forever Michael Jackson

0:08 Gregory Peck, 0:24 Robert De Niro and 0:36 Bruce Willis

One of the most interesting BTS I've seen. These two moments where he shows them how to move and what to express... True artistry and all done with that soft voice

I think Smokey said something along the lines of. “He’d be standing in front of the greatest dancers in the world, classically trained people who worked their entire life dedicated their entire life to dance. And he would outdance them all.” All of these videos feature incredible dancers, but your eye never is on them, he’s so far beyond it’s wild.

This is super mega rare footage thanks you for uploading it

One word: FANTASTIC Well done. And thank you for sharing this with everyone.

Michael is so innocent 😭

This was unbelievable thank you for this MJ was truly a genius second to none! Long Live The King Of Music🙌🏽👑❤️💕✨

5:54 That would have been me on set haha what a cute dude. That little jump seeing the master at work!

OMG!!! The nostalgia…. I remember watching this VHS of this mini movies when I was a child in the late 80s early 90s.

Since I’m a moonwalker for a long time. Every time I watch this video it gives me good chills and goosebumps! Man this my favorite song off the bad album 😍😍😍like thank you Michael for making this song for us and the moonwalker community as well 😍😍😘

5:59 Dude is way too excited back there 😂

Don't know why this doesn't have more views

This is pure gold. It makes me feel like I was there, backstage with them. How fun would that have been. Thank you so much for this!

5:21 Mike did what he wanted. Always clashed with the directors. 5:49

And both Gregory Peck and Robert De Niro watching him in amazement...

With the music at a higher pitch than the actual song track gives me so much more chills

They used an earlier version of Smooth Criminal. The song was faster and slightly higher pitched, the instruments were different, and there were extra/different vocals. You can really hear these differences at 0:15, 2:40 and 3:54. At 4:06, the hi-hats are noticeably more frequent.

Oh .. So precious ! Thank you for sharing with us 🤩

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR UPLOADING THIS!!! would die for like a huge long 3 hour long version lol I remember finding this YEARS and years ago and I’m so glad to see it again

Omg! I love it! Thank you! Amazing! Love MJ mostest!

Seeing this first time after 30 something years from watching the video really hits home how creative and earth pausing talent clicked together...❤❤❤. Real mafia actors.. members on set, inspiring the moon walker.... wow

So grateful that you shared this!❤💯

Thank you so much for upload this!!! ♥️

00:22 00:27 it’s Robert De Niro 😮😎👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽, Franck Dileo manager, the mafia Co, smooth criminal and Al Capone is two great song of Michael Jackson. And we can see that he was inspired by the mafia, that's cool

unreal, the raw talent of everyone involved and especially mj.the best to ever do it

Totally a gem

4:16 That lady is one heck of a professional lol. Can you imagine partnered dance with MJ? I would have disintegrated.

無懈可擊的製作團隊！成就一流的影片及世界的超級巨星！King of Pop！I love you forever Michael Jackson❤❤❤🙏😔🙏😔

Mj only make wonderful music all time. This man is incredible no one takes he's place. I really miss you mj your in heart all time 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

a freaking genius! bust, most importantly, a perfectionist who's very passionate about his craft. Respect from Poland, MJ.

5:46 No one: Michael: We’re gonna do this! Also Michael: * Moans in cursive* Guy: * jumps of joy*

Damn I never saw this, this is great thank you so much

You could tell they were all a bunch of talents in there. You must have an X Factor to work with MJ.

The real demo of Smooth Criminal 0:13 3:55

Behind the scenes of a genius. This is what makes someone a legend, a visionary! The way Michael Jackson explains about how emotions and the way we feel should come out in the music. It might have been a challenge for the camera man and the director to pull this off, but millions of fans around the world absolutely nod in approval on how the video actually turned out.

Michael Jackson is a legend, best regards.

1:20 is so stinking cute!!!

All The Choregraphies Instigated By MJ.He Was More Than Genius, He Was The Unique Michael Jackson.RIP ❤

Genius MJ.

Michael was such a light

5:53, someone please take me to the hospital 😩✋🏼

Worth all the gold of the world for me! Awesome!

beautiful

Studying this for a Smooth Criminal Lego MOC, great to see more of that film set.

Great ❤️

Amazing...

MJ was such a genius. He was beyond his age and time.

Superbe vidéo :)

What a masterpiece of art

only the best artist ever existed. america does a great job in places talents where they need to be.

Super rare video 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

The greatest entertainer to ever live

the best video clip ever for me

3:32 you gotta say pause After that Michael 😂

I wanna cry.

Excellent footage 👍👍👍👍 Do you have more ?

Been sooo enlove with this 4ever n always..minus the marching and guns Wow this sound amazing. Always shock that MJ having 2 voices- his talking voice so sweet and gentle..mousey and his singing voice so sexy and not mousey more like a lion !

2:30 LOL

B e a u t i f u l 😍😍😍

Cool

5:57 that guy was so exited 😂

God, I wish we had this in better quality. You did a great job remastering it but still, why can't we have this in HD and proper sound?😭😭😭

i always wanted to know why he wore the bandaids now i know lol i use to get in trouble when I was a kid trying to copy Michael since i wasted bandaids

@04:12 when he is dancing with the lady in red. That is Smooth!!

Incredible even the recording itself, big big experience. I think the whole process was exciting as well. It was told Smooth Criminal almost did not make it to get onto the Bad album. I don't understand this. His vocal range is alone incredibly amazing, his singing gives a kick like adrenaline. The dance and the short film all is so fine and so meaningful. Classy, hot, very artistic and lovely.

His music is timeless genius. Today only cars, hoes and drugs. And tiktok rapper

My favorite part of smooth criminal is when their slowing down their movements, then they just get back into the dance, LIKE ITS SO SMOOTH (the name of the song is smooth criminal)

Rip Michael Jackson 2009 to 1988😢

Rip king of pop 🐘🤬the guy who killed him

Gosh I would do anything to be there on that set

interesting how different this version of smooth criminal is to the album version

I wonder How old all those kids Now.

5:53 uh-

Hzo❤❤❤

Lol mj

I love the behind the scenes of smooth criminal or Chicago nights but I just wish this was an actual movie I would love to see Michael play the hero it would be awesome if did like movie around this time like dick Tracy and have songs like heartbreak hotel ,smooth criminal, al capone, throwing your life away .....kind of like a gangster movie

What is this version of smooth criminal theyre dancing to? I never heard this one before

Gregory Peck y Robert de Niro en el set de grabación

this kind of soul and work and heartblood cant be seen today. This dude was really special. Maybe one of the rare reasons we will get visited by aliens.

2024

Ain't that my man who was in The mighty ducks movies?

Annie are you ok hehe

Which one is the choreographer? Literally my question every time 😂😂😂

2:54
