Best video since Michael Jackson's Thriller!

I was amazed at the star studded cast they had for this video. Everywhere you look you recognize someone from one of your favorite movies. They start off right after their "Fight for your right" video in the 80's with Seth Rogan, Danny McBride and Elijah Wood playing Mike D, MCA and Ad Rock. Its kinda making fun of how juvenile they were back then, but the jokes are funny and the acting is great.

After a few songs they end up meeting the Beastie Boys from the future, and let me say... the funniest dance off I've ever seen! A great cow bell performance by Will Ferrell, and you have yourself a masterpiece! If you grew up listening to the b-boys then you will love this video! Even if you're not a fan I think you will appreciate the humor and jokes throughout!

So 'tongue-in-cheek' that it was actually pretty stupid.

I didn't know about the celebrities until they started showing up. Vaguely funny. I can say that I saw it & make a conversation piece out of it. That's about all it's good for.

Not my cup of tea!

This is a short film to celebrate the 25 year anniversary of the popular song "Fight For Your Right".

"Fight for Your Right Revisited" is described to be a parody of themselves, filled with the hottest stars and loads of fun. I was certainly impressed by the number of stars they managed to assemble for the short film. I was also impressed by the big budget production on a short film. However, I was not as impressed by the humour. The story seems all over the place, and I lost interest in it by five minutes. Towards the end, just before the police car arrives, the scene becomes so awful that my jaw dropped.

"Fight for Your Right Revisited" is not my cup of tea. As it is about an acid fuelled trip, maybe I have to be high to appreciate it?

fresh!

"Fight for you right revisited" is a tongue-in-cheek look on the Beastie Boys' beginning. The story starts at the end of the '86 "Fight for your right" video, where they destroyed an apartment during a party and ends in a dance battle against a future version of themselves.

Of course, the whole thing is silly as hell but hey, what did you expect? There are numerous cameos including Susan Sarandon, Steve Buscemi and a few uncredited ones (are you able to spot Orlando Bloom)? Even the real Beastie Boys make an appearance.

To me this movie shows that the Beastie Boys are not afraid to showing where they come from (on a sidenote: They haven't played their biggest hit "fight for your right to party" since the 90s). They show us how silly they were back then. Congrats to them for inviting us to laugh with them!

had its moments

I was really looking forward to this short, and it wasn't a total let down, but let just say I was hoping for more.

The star studded cast made one think that there was going to be a lot more going on than there was, and the jokes fell flat most of the time.

This short starring Danny McBride, Elijah Wood, and Seth Rogen as the younger beastie boys, have a dance off with their older selfs. The older or possibly present day beastie boys are portrayed by Will Ferrel, John C Rielly, and Jack Black.

The short is broken up in between sessions of mayhem, and rapping while walking down the street and raising hell towards all passerby's. There are brief periods of improvising, but it runs a little too long, and gets stale fast.

The direction was pretty neat, and the added musical sequences were also an impressive touch.

Unless you are a hardcore bestir boy fan, or are just interested in seeing which celebrity you can spot in this 30 min short I think you can do without it.

looking forward to the new album though!

Trivia
Beastie Boys: The police officers that arrive at end of video.

Goofs
When MCA throws a bin through the store window (at around 30 mins) the explosives that break the glass go off before the bin is near it.

Quotes
Ad-Rock: Yes, here we go again. Give you more, nothing lesser. Back on the mic, it's the anti-depressor. Adrock, no pressure, yes, we need this. The best is yet to come and, yes, believe this.
Mike D: Let go my echo while I flex my ego. Sip on Prosecco, dressed up tuxedo. Sipping coffee, playing keno in the casino. Want a lucky number, ask Mike Dino.
MCA: I burn the competition like a flamethrower. My rhymes age like wine as I get older. I'm getting bolder, competition is waning. I got the ball and I see the lane in.
[beat]
MCA: You got a party on the left, party on the right. You gotta party for the motherfucking right to fight.
Mike D, Ad-Rock: Make some noise if you're with me.
Mike D: Our resurrection, popular election. Getting paid every year like tax collection. Hear my perfection, rotary connection. Taking emcees down by lethal rap injection.
MCA: I'm like an ornithologist when I get pissed. You must have drank a fizzy-lifting drink and you got lifted. And sifted, I'm just whiffing. When I catch emcees, it's time for wing-clipping.
Ad-Rock: I fly like a hawk, or better yet an eagle. A seagull sniff suckers out like a beagle. My ego is off and running and gone. Because I'm about the best and if you test then that's wrong.
MCA: You got a party on the left, party on the right. You gotta party for the motherfucking right to fight.
Mike D, Ad-Rock: Make some noise if you're with me.
MCA: Pass me the scalpel, I'll make an incision. I'll cut off the part of your brain that does the bitching. Put it in formaldehyde and put it on the shelf. You can show it to your friends and say, 'That's my old self.'
Ad-Rock: Can't do me nothing, can't tell me nadda. Don't bug me now because I'm doing the lambada. The forbidden dance. Here's my chance. To make romance in my b-boys stance.
Mike D: Parlay romancing into financing. Opened up a restaurant with Ted Danson. The roaches check in but they never check out. I set the record straight, no doubt.
MCA: We got a party on the left, a party on the right. You got a party for the motherfucking right to fight.
Mike D, Ad-Rock: Make some noise if you're with me.
