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.

Michael sua falta será eterna❤
Michael Was Famous All Over The World Back When There Was No Clip-Share Or Social Media
@D. Roberts It would be funny and legendary at the same time
I know eh. Those were the days ❤❤
@koolkat1204 He will be always..cuz what he created is irreplaceable..He started a new era in music. Offcourse he is that big to be remembered till the end of world.
Yeah he died and still went platinum
He is still famous all over the world
I’m proud to say I’m one of the lucky few that saw him perform live at Wembley’97. Although I was still only young at that point I remember it like it was yesterday. such an unbelievable generational talent that will never be forgotten. thank you Michael for all the amazing memories you provided me throughout my childhood. I’m sorry the world didn’t understand nor love you enough like us fans did. RIP KING OF POP and god bless ❤
@EpmzMusifiwaR66 🔥
Wer are together ❤️❤️❤️🤴My King😭😭😭😭😭
Damn your actually lucky.
Because that must be really amazing looking and watching it live!
Best memories for u I can tell.
As vezes eu queria ter vivido a época dele, pra ver e sentir tudo que ele fazia sem ninguém fazer. Devia ser realmente uma emoção ardente ouvir e ver ele! Hoje ver esse tipo de clipe é comum e por muitas vezes produção de milhões e sem reconhecimento ❤ RIP 🖤 03/2023
Hello 👋
Восхвалять вообще то нужно Бога , а не человека.
Сделали из Майкла идола, а он просто человек, но талантливый
Всем , кто хочет его снова увидеть живым, нужно изучать Слово Бога , Библию и приближаться к живому единственному Богу Иегове.
В будущем Бог будет воскрешать миллиарды людей, которые находятся в совершенной памяти Бога.
,, Будет воскресение мёртвых "
( Библия, Деяния 24:15).
Yes it was GREAT living back then and hearing and seeing this for the first time! ALL Michael's videos were MAJOR EVENTS, even some premiering on prime time television!
I'm disabled and bedbound but when I listen to Michael's songs and this song in particular, I can't help but move my hips, tap my feet the lot. These dances are simply phenomenal and you can't help but smile and dance. Michael had a pure, pure heart who simply adored animals, nature and children. Yes a few things he probably shouldn't have done in hindsight, but i do not believe for 1 SECOND that this man ever abused any child. They all were found to have lied UNDER OATH in court. If you're prepared to do that, you'll think nothing of making up lies to try and get money. Michael was never the same after those accusations, and I don't think anyone would or could be. He's in a better place now 😔
I don't believe it too
the families pushed the kids to tell lies
Awww I agree with u 100% I don’t think he harmed any kids u get some despicable people in this world who’d do anything for money rip michael
No one will ever make great videos like MJ did 🥺
Still hits hard
@APOXAND & ALEXAND are you trolling right now or are you actually .......
@Weevil Underwood there are youtubers that make better " videos" like markiplier
@APOXAND & ALEXAND You're high
@APOXAND & ALEXAND he has legendary videos too. Tf are you on about
Ele ficaria feliz em saber que em quase 15 anos, ninguém consegue superar ele😢❤
Hatta ölümünden önce de uzun yıllar dikkatini müziğine verememişti.
Bu süreyi de eklemek gerekirse daha faxla zaman oldu.
REST IN PICE MJ THE LEGENFD
Vdd
El mejor artista de toda la historia.
@CARLITOS AXIE ni idea
After The Beatles but very very close. Individually as good as john and paul. Peace
@Soir quien chucha será ese
Que descanse en paz.
Te extrañaremos, Mr. Jackson.
Es verdad 👍
Minha mãe cresceu ouvindo o Michael Jackson,as músicas deles são perfeitas,a letra,os sons, enfim,não vamos esquecer dele.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
A minha também kkkk
El mejor por siempre y para siempre ❤
Hello, what song do you like to sing? I also like to listen to it.
Genuinely legendary. A timeless classic.
2023 y está canción se oye con una fuerza increíble,el mejor de todos los tiempos 👑🔥💪❤️
@Michi Grande (LEÉ BIEN) 👇🏻
Existe una simple razón por la que Bad Bunny jamás será un artista de alcance global 🌎 y es que él es un artista latino puertorriqueño 🇵🇷 y por lo tanto sus canciones son en español sin embargo los artistas estadounidenses tienen más facilidad de llegar a todas partes del mundo como por ejemplo Japón 🇯🇵 por un motivo, despues del idioma japonés el más estudiado por ellos es el ingles ya que lo utilizan para poder comunicarse en el extranjero pues como sabemos el inglés y el chino mandarín son los idiomas más conocidos en casi todas partes del mundo como en Asia, África o Europa por eso los hits en inglés tienen tanto éxito y eso se debe principalmente a la hegemonía yanki, y ser el artista más escuchado en Spotyfi o el más reproducido en cualquier otra plataforma no significa que Bad Bunny haya conquistado el mundo, hay una gran diferencia entre lo uno y lo otro porque aquellos que lo escuchan al fin de cuentas serán siempre los mismos y los que entiendan español (Latinoamérica, Epaña, y algunas zonas de EE.UU) y de ahí en más no, nunca podrá ir más allá pues no podrá traspasar la barrera del idioma porque para empezar los japoneses son muy conservadores y rechazan todo aquello que sea ajeno a su cultura pero Michael Jackson era tan genial pero tan genial que acabó por conquistar el mercado nipón y actualmente el grupo musical que está conquistando Asia a pasos agigantados tiene nombre y se llama BTS "los reyes del K-Pop" porque son coreanos y muy proximos a los japoneses y chinos, simple y concreto.
@Michi Grande nouvelle et je te remercie de m'avoir donné ton is
@Arturo Garcete seee indifinitvamente noc como los pueden comparar
La juventud de hoy dice que Bad Bunny ya superó a Michael Jackson ¿Que opinas?
Yo creo que ni con 10 vidas le bastaría a Bad Bunny para llegar a donde Michael Jackson llegó, MJ 👑 es otro nivel.
Te extrañamos Michael hoy el mundo está peor pero con tu música se olvidan las penas ❤❤❤ gracias donde quiera que estés !!! 🙏
@Afton Billy Thompson hola

@imad boud já o outro significado ele te fala
@imad boud existe dois significados, mais no contexto dele ele quis dizer que a infância dele foi incrível espetacular algo nesse contexto entende?
ما هو البدس
Everytime you listen to MJ, you think this is his best one, and then you hear another song from him, and then you think, no this is his best one. They are all master pieces.
@House Stark 😅
Exactly how it feels. Every song is an experience
Coreografia perfeita! O vídeo te prende a cada único segundo dele! Michael Jackson é um gênio! Nunca morreu de fato pois gente como ele é eterno nos corações de qualquer um que goste de música!!! Forever MJ!!!

Pse
@Madara Il0 com certeza 😼
😊Sim man
El mejor artista musical de la historia de la música Michael Jackson. 👑❤
Los jovenes de esta generación dicen que Bad Bunny ya lo superó ¿Que opinas?
Mi opinión es que Michael Jackson está a años luz de Bad Bunny, existe una galaxia 🌌🪐 de diferencia entre ellos y es un insulto para la historia de la música tan solo compararlos
Einfach nur sensationell 👍M.J. ist und bleibt eine Legende. Nach 40 jahren hören sich seine Songs immer noch klasse an
Loved you since I was 1, Mike! One of the biggest fans out there! R.i.P Michael Jackson!

Rei do pop eterno
Hello, what song do you like to sing? I also like to listen to it.
Michael Jackson had a short life but his music lives on. He recorded so much.
@ZM Inc. like I explained your actually considered old around those ages
But it's mainly around your 50s - 60s were your on your early old age
Again sorry if I made sound like I was calling him old as hell ( Should've been specific)
@Bernardo Saldaña thats not old old is around 70 80
@Bernardo Saldaña Hi Grandpa
Bernardo Saldaña Ah yea I misread the comment. As in he would have completely retired not too long after anyway
@AmzWL Not saying he was old as hell but rather more like in he's early old age(sorry if I made it sound like the other way) but like he still had plenty of time to impress everyone again
Masterpiece
I dont listen to this typically, but I woke up with it stuck in my head on repeat. I love it, 2023.
😊first time listening to this song 🎵 and it is absolutely amazing and fantastic ❤
Hello, what song do you like to sing? I also like to listen to it.

@APOXAND & ALEXAND Bro I said singers not footballers.
Ronaldo fans attack legend cr7
Siuuu
Siuuu
Michael Jackson is one of the greatest influences of music and choreography of all time. Almost everything we have now is based on what he did. The man was genius.
MJ is the best dancer and singer and he died like 13years ago and he still is the best singer and dancer like WHAT.R.I.P mj❤
Still fire in 2023 🙏 MJ
Realmente IMPRESIONANTE!!!!. 😃🙌👌👌👏👏👏👏

Love you Michael. You were the king of the world at one point. Greatest of the great. Miss you much ❤️
Hello how are you doing today…?
I remember when this one came on MTV for the first time. To this day, it's still one of the best ever produced. There are a few that come close, but no one else will ever bring the same amazement of watching Michael Jackson dance.
This Video & Beat & Preformance is still unmachted to this day! MJ is the Greatest Artist Ever 🔥👏🏽🎶
Michael Jackson will always remain a legend even after years that he left us he will always reign over music and dance 08/03/2023.
Just wow 😮❤❤❤❤
Just watching this, and really seeing how legendary is michael jackson.
@Q are we not going talk about how Michael a 44 year old man was sharing a room with a child that was not apart of his family?
@Q learn and research bro and u would understand
Better than chuck Norris...
Luke Skuljax and your proof is?
Michael Jackson is a Legend in music ❤️
Que música contagiante dá poxa, a pessoa se balança do nada kkkk🤣🤣😍😍😍
When the legend makes music it lives forever...MJ the KING OF POP!!!!❤
Rest in peace king you shall be the king of pop forever
Amei to viciada
Hello, what song do you like to sing? I also like to listen to it.
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
@ForgottenCrusader bruh
*🔘 King Amir Tataloo holds the record for the most diss (48 people🦾) in one track (Barzakh) for **10:20** minutes!*
@koolaid wtf is wrong with you I love MJ ❤ Lord Jesus Christ this man is wired
@Reign I know exactly what im saying. I pray that i never develop an obsession for another human being like you.
I'm speechless, his music is amazing! Too good to be true. Rest in peace.
Rei do pop , monstro de mais
Hey how are you doing..?
Simplesmente o rei ❤
This was my first music video I ever watched as a young kid. I remember it to this day. I was completely blown away.
Hey how are you doing…?
أنني مصري 🇪🇬
أتكلم القطبية والعربية ولا أفهم إلا القليل والقليل جداً من اللغة الأنجليزية
ولكن أداء هذا الأسطوري مايكل جاكسون مع تلك الموسيقي الجميلة التي تحرك الصخر من مكانه جعلني أندهش جدا واستمتع بهذا الفن الأسطوري
Very soon, this song will hit a billion views, and when it does, we will celebrate it!
Let's get all his songs to a billion and more.. he deserves the world RIP KING 1958-forever ❤👑
I wouldn’t say very soon
i dont wanna be a party pooper but 600 million is barely halfway
It will take some more years but it will hit it
Just like the rickroll song
Legend 😭❤️ this song fr gives chills
I love this music ever since I was 5
Yeah too have always love this music too and I pray to God to give you a lot of beautiful days, and I hope God bless you to have a great day today, I'm Roy from Happy camp California. Where are you from ?
Legends never die..
Lyrics
As he came into the window
It was the 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
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?
Annie, are you okay?
Will you tell us that you're okay?
There's a sign in the window
That he struck you - a crescendo, Annie
He came into your apartment
He left the bloodstains on the carpet
Then you ran into the bedroom
You were struck down
It was your doom
Annie, are you okay?
So, Annie, are you okay?
Are you okay, Annie?
You've been hit by
You've been hit by a smooth criminal
Ow!
Ow!
Aw!
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?
So, Annie, are you okay?
Are you okay, Annie?
You've been hit by
You've been hit by a smooth criminal
@Bounty Hunter Fox Yeah he definitely says "Struck by" in the 2nd chorus of the actual song recording but it seems to be missing completely in the music video (dw you're not going mad 😂)
Does anyone else remember it going "you've been hit by, you've been STRUCK by..."
@Mo Mo yeah, idk why
Lyrics after 3:17 missing on all online lyrics. Weird. 2nd verse.
Hello
