I love the animated Dead Cruiser video with its plethora of allusions to all things 80's: Sega's Out Run, Risky Business, Terminator, Akira, Miami Vice, and much more all bundled into one visually splendid video. Somehow, when they made the new Kavinsky video in live action, the cost of shooting a period car chase live action really limits the plot development, and it's a lot less interesting despite the pleasure of seeing a Testarossa in the flesh. Also, the fact that the anemic Mustang cop car can even keep up with the Flat 12 Testarossa is sort of laughable...
