Synopsis

Film

This review is a bit of a departure from our normality, but we felt that it was a significant release that it required some attention.

The video is a sort of seventies style romp with Britain's Ali-G driving a large gold limo with Madonna in the back singing. At various intervals the video cuts to some super cartoon animation of Madonna and Ali fighting off various Kung-Fu baddies etc.

There are two versions of the video on the disk, one being slightly longer with a cutout to Ali-G in the middle turning down the radio and talking to "Maradonna" in a little skit. Interestingly there is a Parental Advisory on the front of the disk but I can find none of the explicit lyrics promised.

Picture wise things are what you would expect, fairly average but there's no artifacting and the colours are bright and vivid.

Sound wise things are in PCM stereo only which again is what you would expect for something of this ilk.

I've recommended the sound because the single is exceptional Madonna material (okay, I'm a fan, and have been for years) not for its clarity. But I would say that this is pretty groundbreaking stuff being the first mainstream DVD single released.
