Amazon.com:
A fairly typical and, at 38 minutes, brief video collection from rap's highly influential, pop-culture-spewing white trio, the Beastie Boys (Skills to Pay the Bills and Sabotage followed in 1992 and 1994, respectively). Made primarily to capitalize on the overnight success of their platinum-selling album, Licensed to Ill, this compilation captures the Beasties in the obnoxious, frat-boy stage of their career. Brief interludes between the exaggerated, often-humorous videos--'Rhymin' and Stealin',' 'Hold It Now, Hit It,' 'No Sleep 'Til Brooklyn,' 'She's on It,' 'She's Crafty,' and the megahit single, 'Fight for Your Right (to Party)'--show the B-Boys clowning, posturing, drinking, taunting, and partying both onstage and off. For hard-core fans, this collection is essential; for other music fans, it represents an interesting look back at the early, immature persona of a band that later dropped the self-parody shtick and evolved into one of the most important rap acts of the '90s. --Dave McCoy

Rating:  - Very Entertaining!
if u love the beastie boys then you'll love this video...it has all the music videos from the Licensed to Ill era & all the crazy back-stage partying they did back then with girls & the insane concert footage is in this video..pretty much the Beastie Boys in their wild teen years as famous rappers. warning some parts of this video are very shocking & jaw dropping but then again almost everything these guys do is shocking thats part of the reason why they're awesome
Rating: - beastie boys on film
Sabotage is a great short Beastie Boys video. It captures the uncensored video of their greatest video-Sabotage. The video also contains other videos from the band as well as outtakes. It helps to give a boarder representation of what the band can do.
Rating: - Great piece of Beastie History
This is worth it. Some classic songs adourn this DVD. The reason I bought it was to have an archivable copy since I already had the Video version. Some real nice Beastie work right from their experimental period feature here. Mullet Head is a definate sweet piece of Beastie work, as is Skills to Pay the Bills, neither of which made it to the Beasties Anthology (and why Netty's girl (not on this dvd) made it to the anthology, I'll never know because that song is real bad even if it is a pisstake song, ...

Rating: - BEASTIES CIRCA 1987!
I purchased this video when it was released in 1987 or 1988 and I am glad I still have it. It's a brief video collection of their Licensed To Ill videos plus funny interludes. Also, includes the classic beach video for "She's On It". A MUST FOR REAL BEASTIE FANS! The end Motel room segment is classic,crazy Beasties. Michael Diamond has said in interviews that he winces when he see's the things he used to do during the "License To Ill" Era. You won't wince, you will see the true, raw version of the Beasties ...

Rating: - Hardcore fans will find this worth owning
With the release of the Criterion double DVD, a lot of the videos on this become obsolete. One of the greatest treats of owning this video long ago was "Futterman's Rule," which compiled outtakes of the "Sabotage" video; now that you can see the Sabotage video from several different takes on the Criterion CD, this seems kind of pointless. But it isn't ENTIRELY pointless - after all, it is a video for "Futterman's Rule," which isn't on the Criterion collection. And that's pretty much the case for this whole ... Read More
