Written and Composed by Michael Jackson
Produced by Quincy Jones for Quincy Jones Productions
Co-Produced by Michael Jackson for MJJ Productions, Inc.
From the album Bad, released August 31, 1987
Released as a single October 21, 1988
THE SHORT FILM
Director: Colin Chilvers
Primary Production Location: Los Angeles, California
Michael Jackson's short film for "Smooth Criminal" was the sixth of nine short films produced for recordings from Bad, one of the best selling albums of all time. The "Smooth Criminal" single hit No. 1 in Spain and The Netherlands and reached the Top 10 in the UnitedStates, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Ireland and Switzerland. In the United States, "Smooth Criminal" reached the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100-the sixth single from Bad to do so-as well as Billboard's Hot Dance Club Play and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles charts.
In addition to being a standalone short film, "Smooth Criminal" became the centerpiece of Michael's most ambitious film project at the time, Moonwalker, a feature-length film that was released theatrically in various countries outside of the United States. In the "Smooth Criminal" portion of the film, Michael and his friends face off against the notorious drug lord Mr. Big (Joe Pesci) and attempt to foil his plot to get the children of the world hooked on drugs-but of course, in the end, Michael defeats the villain.
The musical portion of "Smooth Criminal" takes place in the magical "Club '30s," where Michael instructed his friends to meet him. While Katie (Kellie Parker), Zeke (Brandon Adams) and Sean (Sean Lennon) find the club to belong abandoned, Club '30s springs to life when Michael shows up, wearing a blue and white pinstripe suit and fedora.
As the kids watch through the window, Michael flips a coin into the jukebox and leads the club patrons through a dazzling performance to "Smooth Criminal." Here, Michael shows off updated versions of his signature dance moves. He also debuts one of his most iconic dance moves: the "anti-gravity lean," a seemingly impossible move.

Anybody here like me who just got a random Feeling to Listen to Michael Jackson?
Oh yes
Me
Hey
Yes, and when I do get that feeling this song fills my desires
Yup 😂
MJ was called the King of Pop for a reason. His music transcends time. It was a hit when it was first released back in 1988, it's a hit now in 2023, and it will continue to be a hit 100 years later.
We have to get this beautiful masterpiece to 1 billion views.
Agreed!!!
Agreed!
Nope :8
Agreed
A timeless piece like this doesn't need youtube validation from clueless Gen Zs.
¿Soy Solo yo o es imposible dejar de verlo una y otra vez? ❤
This song NEVER gets old! One of his best, 14 yrs after his death its still a popular song across radio &
social media! RIP MJ👑
This one is my favorite 🎉
Same with other artists like queen Prince johnny lennon
I watched this in loop for like 3hours.
Is it just me or is this impossible to stop watching over and over again?❤❤❤
I swear, this is one of the coolest music videos
AGREED. THIS VIDEO IS SUCH AN AMAZING CREATION BY MJ AND HIS TEAM. THIS IS A TIMELESS CREATION I THINK. I LIKED YOUR COMMENT. THANK YOU SO MUCH. I LOVE MJ VERY MUCH.
Mj is the 1st star who combined the story and music mv together.
It is! Agree 1000%!
I agree
Thriller?
One of the best tracks of all time. No one can beat him. Michael Jackson will always be best artist of all times .
No!
@Kirsten Lordname one singer that can beat micheal jackson
sou brasileiro, deu vontade de ouvir essa lenda.😂😂
Agreed goat artist but i think best track is man in the mirror.
In 42 years of life on this earth, I have never heard anything like Michael's music, and I don't think it's possible that anyone could ever create something like this ever again. The man was an absolute gem and a musical genius.
A genius with unbelievably saturated & potent, SWAG ... . . . . . .
One of a kind!!!
King 👑❤️❤️❤️
@Alex The lyrics:
As you went into hell,
was there screaming of regretting souls.
You came back to the life and left the sinful lifestyle.
Now you have became a target to the wicked and to the evil.
Your light started to shine and blinded the devil.
The brighter your light, the harder for the devil to see.
Soul, are you okay?
So, you`re okay?
Are you okay, soul?
Soul, are you okay?
Will you tell GOD, when you need a hand?
There`s a narrow road to heaven.
Whence you find it, keep walking on it.
You came back to the life and left the sinful lifestyle.
Now you have became a target to the wicked and to the devil.
So, you met the devil, when he tried to tempt you again?
You didn`t give In and had the courage to rebuke the devil.
The devil tried to steal your heartbeat, your breath and your will to live.
Soul, are you okay?
So, you`re okay?
Are you okay, soul?
Soul, are you okay?
Will you tell GOD, when you need a hand?
There`s a narrow road to heaven.
Whence you find it, keep walking on it.
You came back to the life and left the sinful lifestyle.
Now you have became a target to the wicked and to the devil.
@The Harsh Truth OUT THERE it's seems he was trying to Convey a message
Esse ser humano realmente existiu? É loucura acreditar, ele estava tão a frente de seu tempo, tão a frente dos demais. O artista perfeito.
Br, aí 👍
O cara era uma lenda mito demais
Não tem como imaginar alguém que chegue a seus pés. É como tentar imaginar alguém chegar aos pés de Messi no futebol.
2023 e eu aqui assistindo esse clássico do Rei do Pop👏👏👏
tmb kkkk
Eu também
Kkkkkkkkkkkkk🎉
😁
Это Майкл Джексон - его в Кандагаре до сих пор боятся
This mans career is never going to die
But he died
@Antonio career legacy

Elon Musk, please bring Michael Jackson music to Mars...

Cant be a day in my life without hearing his song, especially whenever I am down, his songs boost me like anything....miss you a lot MJ......
You have no work
Believe it or not, Yes you're here watching this again and you're probably telling yourself right now: "Damn! This guy was good!!"
He was. I feel as though people skills and childhood went away when he worked on becoming this. Macaulay Culkin still says he did nothing wrong... Jackson was pushed too hard and became strange.
It was a set up he never touched little boys
same
How did you know-
yep🥺👉🏻👈🏻
I love how this song is still a vibe in 2023, this is a masterpiece!
Eu escuto essa música todos os dias ❤
Eu tbm uma das música mais foda do Michael Jackson ❤
Eu também
Essa musica e fodasticamente foda
Is it just me or is this impossible to stop watching over and over again😅♥
Que nivel de showman era Michael Jackson, cada video musical que sacaba era una autentica joya, los mejores performances los hacia el
This song is so awesome!! It does not even feel like it was made around 40 years old!! if it got released again right now it would be one of the most trending songs if not the most!! I saw Michael Jackson first time and this showed up and can not leave a day without listening it!!
Mandela effect
I remember it being..
“You’ve been hit by,
You’ve been struck by
A smooth criminal”
@Theone Andonly that's not the Mandela effect? That's one of the actual verses?
@Hunter Mason let me know the minute:second of the verse because I can’t find it 🤔
@Theone Andonly well the funny thing is that in the music video version he accidentally says the line twice but in the lyrics version ( the record version) he says it correctly in the second verse
Admit it, you’re not here only for the song but for the dancing moves too
You rightttt
Yeah I am
And to know if Annie's okay.
Hahahah yes!
Im here because of KNY
Eterno ❤
Esse cara é incrível,as músicas dele me dão um sentimento que não encontro em mais nenhum artista de hoje em dia ,ETERNO MICHAEL REI DO POP 🤍🤍

Me soprende la cantidad de gente que aun se reune a dia de hoy para comentar sobre Michael, sin duda alguna una persona que te marca aunque apenas sepas su minima mencion
cierto, pondría un emoji de llorando y feliz pero no se como se hace
que gran comentario
verdade cara
Así es. Michael es para todos los tiempos.
Es mi favorito por siempre.
EL REY POR SIEMPRE EN NUESTROS CORAZONES 👑♥
La coordinacion de los bailarines estaba a otro nivel,todavia en la actualidad no hay ni artista ni grupo que se le asemeje a esta leyenda,el mejor artista que dio la tierra

ª
a quien no?
This Masterpiece will always have a safe place in my Heart.
Michael Jackson one of the artists that can make a movie with one album.
edit: thanks for the correction that MJ isn't the only one
Pink Floyd: hold my brick
I think the Beatles would have something to say about that.
Ui ❤️
You must have never seen Sgt. peppers lonely hearts club band.
Melanie Martinez Disagrees
This Man's relevance and influence trascends generations. Same vibe in the 80s same vibe now. Endless and evergreen. Greatest artist, choreographer, creative and performer of all time
You think the vibe from the 1980s is the same vibe as now ... ?
Exactly 👌
A lenda vai ser sempre o Michael sempre vai ser o nosso rei do pop
The best king pop
Rei das droga pode ser 😊
The greatest there was. The greatest there is. The greatest there’ll ever be. Michael, you are unrepeatable! Love you forever.
Essa originalidade nunca existirá novamente😢
I can't decide which of his songs I love most 😊
Damm that's deep
Just here for 3 things.
1. Song
2. The legendary anti-gravity lean.
3. And MJ ofc.
Same😂😂😂😂😂😂
And MJ ❤❤❤
Just add MJ to the list and I’m same
@Dyami Reactions there, i guess
@Blue Your comment is perfect now lol 🤣🤣🤣❤❤❤
Mind-blowing! His dance moves are out of this world, I mean, seriously, unbelievable! And those vocals? Wow, just wow! The way he effortlessly hits those high notes is insane. And the music? Iconic is an understatement. It's a It's pure musical magic that still gets everyone grooving today. Can you believe this video is from way back in 1988? It's timeless, man. Michael Jackson was a true legend, and "Smooth Criminal" is a testament to his unparalleled talent. 🔥🔥🔥
Que saudades Michael, ainda lembro quando anunciaram a sua morte eu era criança, mas me lembro bem, vc nunca será esquecido.
It's what true and ingenious art all about. Genuine talent and grace that transcend through generations, and makes an artist immortal.
All these fancy technologies, learning materials, social media - yet no one's reached the level of a man who died nearly 15 years ago.
King MJ
Beautifully said
I second you bro👐👐👐💪💪💪💪💪
Cara com toda sinceridade. Me respondam uma coisa , como explicar esse ser chamado Michael Jackson ? Insano cara. Que Privilégio de poder ver a onra de ver essas obra primas que são suas músicas e sua coreografia.. gênio da música. Simplesmente o rei do pop. ❤️
Z
ele morreu
O carra vivia no sub mundo da droga...
Até morfina usava para suprir o vicio e desejo..
@Igor Rodrigues me conte uma novidade. Pq essa tá velha já .
@Odir figur milytari Milytari mais oque vc quer dizer com isso ? Independente da forma que ele levava a vida pessoal dele , ele nunca deixou transparente ou atrapalhar no palco. O cara foi o maior artista que já pisou na terra .. eu agradeço a informação que vc me trouxe mais isso não influencia o fato dele ter sido um baita de um artista. Máximo respeito Tenho por ele.
Love this song
2022 and this song is Still fire! His songs will be here for the future generations!
вгаа
Yes!

Amine Serrar is the King of pop
Amine Serrar
Si
Amine Serrar yess
Yes he is ❤
There is no dancer who will be Born to dance like him. I'm sure with no such perfection.❤ Love you Michael
Yes
Só uma palavra pra descrever os movimentos suaves de Michael: ELEGÂNCIA
MICHAEL JACKSON NO ES EL REY DEL POP, ES EL REY DE LA MUSICA💥💥💥💥💥
¡Oh, te equivocaste, Michael Jackson es el rey del pop, sí, es el rey de la música mundial y es el rey de la danza en el mundo!.
Que musica mano, ate em 2023 essa musica e boa
Temazo
Making a music video like this right now is almost impossible.. All the dancers connect so well to the rhythm.
Like having people playing those instruments, those sitting while moving to the rhythm, those acting even while dancing, those fighting, those gambling, the ones playing snookers too, let's not forget the ballet dance part. Everybody in the club is just participating or involved in one thing. Also having a stage to perform where there is a microphone for you to sing, there is a spot light too. Having a place like brothel where MJ's money was stolen by one of the girls. So many
Black or White,Scream, Beat It, Billie Jean are all good but this Smooth Criminal music video is the next MJ greatest video after Thriller. IMO
My opinion exactly. This video is a work of art.
u clearly aint seeing K-pop videos then
@ForgottenCrusader You don't know anything about MJ. Its very irritating when people compare MJ with others 🙄. Let's see how long your kpop lasts if small artists like prince come out your kpop will be disappear facts...
@ForgottenCrusader people was used to call him King of pop, rock and soul but now people call him King of Music and Godfather of dance because the world will never see person like him. Kpop always copy MJ and others artwork that's why they got famous.
yeah nowadays it's all about CGI in Unreal Engine lmao
Michael Jackson eterno REI DO Pop para sempre ninguém será como ele O ETERNO REI DO Pop para sempre O REI DO Pop
This song is still an absolute banger MJ never dies in our hearts
esto nunca me cansa me encanta estancion del rei del pop
Майкл!Как ты нам нужен сегодня!!!Как ты нам нужен всегда!!!!!
I mean who can watch this and dislike it and thumbs down. It's bizarre. It's the best music video of all time with Thriller.
About the smearing campaign, which worked on some.
Mostly the people who believe those false allegations
It's the people who actually believe he did the stuff. First to show he didn't do it, they waited till he was dead and unable to defend himself to say something. They also filed to get his money another reason why you know their lying because if they really wanted justice then they would have said something while he was still alive to put him in jail. Since people want to lie about getting raped I hope it actually happens to them since they want it to so badly.
@KnOwNaSdRaKo 07 I don't know and I don't care if Michael did it or not, but what I think is that mj was such a strange and weird character, and with a lot of money. I repeat, Im not attacking or defending Michael, but I won't be surprised if tomorrow it is announced that is true that he abused those kids
I miss him so much 🙏🏻❤😢. He changed the music industry. He will always be a Legend 🏆
Nobody writes lyrics bc everybody knows this masterpiece
Eterno Michael Jackson 👏🏼👏🏼
Legends never die 🔥🎲
Released on November 14, 1988 and this was a real hit when they released on arcade game and sega. It really touched our heart. MJ was legend.
The music video for "Smooth Criminal", which premiered on MTV on October 13, 1988, is the centerpiece of the 1988 film Moonwalker.
[Verse 1]
As he came into the window
Was a sound of a crescendo
He came into her apartment
He left the bloodstains on the carpet
She ran underneath the table
He could see she was unable
So she ran into the bedroom
She was struck down, it was her doom
[Pre-Chorus]
Annie, are you okay?
So, Annie, are you okay?
Are you okay, Annie?
Annie, are you okay?
So, Annie, are you okay?
Are you okay, Annie?
Annie, are you okay?
So, Annie, are you okay?
Are you okay, Annie?
Annie, are you okay?
So, Annie, are you okay?
Are you okay, Annie?
[Chorus]
Annie, are you okay? Will you tell us that you're okay?
There's a sound at the window
Then he struck you - a crescendo, Annie
He came into your apartment
Left the bloodstains on the carpet
And then you ran into the bedroom
You were struck down
It was your doom
[Post-Chorus]
Annie, are you okay?
So, Annie, are you okay?
Are you okay, Annie?
Annie, are you okay?
So, Annie, are you okay?
Are you okay, Annie?
Annie, are you okay?
So, Annie, are you okay?
Are you okay, Annie?
[Refrain]
You've been hit by-
You've been hit by-
A Smooth Criminal
Aaow!
[Verse 2]
So they came into the outway It was Sunday, what a black day
Every time I tried to find him
There were no clues, they’re behind him
And they end up never knowing Who’s the suspect or what to expect
Mouth-to-mouth resuscitation
Sounding heartbeats, intimidation
[Pre-Chorus]
Annie, are you okay?
So, Annie, are you okay?
Are you okay, Annie?
Annie, are you okay?
So, Annie, are you okay?
Are you okay, Annie?
Annie, are you okay?
Annie, are you okay?
Are you okay?
Annie, are you okay?
So, Annie, are you okay?
Are you okay, Annie?
Annie, are you okay?
So, Annie, are you okay?
Are you okay, Annie?
[Chorus]
Annie, are you okay? Will you tell us that you're okay?
There's a sound at the window
Then he struck you - a crescendo, Annie
He came into your apartment
Left the bloodstains on the carpet
And then you ran into the bedroom
You were struck down
It was your doom
[Post-Chorus]
Annie, are you okay? Annie, are you okay? Are you okay, Annie?
[Refrain]
You've been hit by-
You've been struck by-
A Smooth Criminal
[Interlude]
Choo-cha, choo-cha
Aaow!
Okay, I want everybody to clear the area right now!
Aaow!
Hoo!
Hoo!
Hoo!
Hoo!
Aaow!
[Outro]
Annie, are you okay? (I don't know)Will you tell us that you're okay? (I don't know)
There's a sound at the window (I don't know)
Then he struck you, a crescendo Annie? (I don't know)
He came into your apartment (I don't know)
Left bloodstains on the carpet (I don't know why, baby)
And then you ran into the bedroom (Help me)
You were struck down
It was your doom Annie (Dag gone it)
Annie are you okay? (Dag gone it-baby)Will you tell us that you're okay? (Dag gone it-baby)
There's a sound at the window (Dag gone it-baby)
Then he struck you, a crescendo Annie (Hoo! Hoo!)
He came into your apartment, (Dag gone it)
Left bloodstains on the carpet (Hoo!)
And then you ran into the bedroom (Hoo! Hoo!)
You were struck down (Dag gone it)
It was your doom Annie (Aaow!)
[Outro]
Aaow!
Aaow!
Shoo-cha-choo, shoo-cha-choo!
Aaow!
Aaow!

si lastima que se petateo fue mi idolo desde los 5 años
👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆
The greatest performer of all time..
Let’s get this awesome work to 1 billion views and 10 million likes
Eu fui no Show em 1993 .. Acredite, foi o melhor Show de todos os tempos aqui no Brasil, não só pela mega produção, mas tb pelo significado de que aqueles dias eram os últimos capítulos da vida do maior artista da cultura pop que já existiu, e que nunca mais terá semelhante até o final dos tempos, sou muito agradecido a DEUS por ter nascido em 1963, pois pude viver as Décadas mais incríveis 70, 80 e um pouquinho dos anos 90. Depois tudo acabou! Os artistas hj tem que apelar pra podridão do ser humano pra se destacar. Até o ar que respiramos está mais podre do que nunca (covid) (Mc pipoquinha) (anita) e o Narcotráfico Espalhando seus tentáculos por todo o mundo.. E fez do nosso Brasil uma nação escrava!!
I miss these world premieres. It was like the entire world stopped to watch MJ perform. Something fun and positive to look forward to. I miss him. Performers are just not like this.
60% We love MJ
25% R.I.P MJ
10% Annie are you okay?
5% Muzan Kibutsuji
Muzan Kibutsuji is the best smooth criminal
@Slammer Yeah!
@Slammer he just hit Nezuko like smooth criminal
Smooth criminal taratanarana taranananaranana AU
:3
The fact that this masterpiece hasn’t reached 1 Billion Views yet is truly CRIMINAL
I know why, but I don't think I need to say it
@Lucas Dyer SAY ITTTT
Not gonna happen bro, it's not even at a thousand million.
@Anonymous user a thousand million is a billion
don't worry. we'll get there
This is the greatest song ever made, nothing even compares to this
Even if you throw the worst performances in the world on this man, you will never defile this man....
7:05 aún sigo sintiendo ese escalofrío como lo sentí la primera vez que lo vi en mi vida.
Grande el rey del pop.
