10 Great "Hard To Find" Behind The Scenes Documentaries

2. Addams Family 1991: Behind The Scenes EPK And Making Of Music Video

Okay, so this is a little bit of a cheat right here. The actual behind the scenes documentary for the Addams Family movie is not all that great. Just a studio driven puff piece meant to promote the film. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GhRi2ku7VI No keen insights or in-depth looks worth getting excited about. Still, I couldn't pass up the chance to show you guys another unique behind the scenes doc I found; the 1/2 hour special detailing the making of M.C. Hammer's Addams' Family Groove. This is pure 90's nostalgia overload right here. It recalls an era when every other movie at the box office had an accompanying rap music video. Don't be so surprised. Hip-hop was a bold new thing at the time and Hollywood was looking to cash in. As a result Paramount must have believed they hit the jackpot when they signed M.C. Hammer to do a single for the film. You want to know something? They were right. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0aHmVtMs8m0 The song is awesome. Yeah, I said awesome. At the very least it's much better than what passes for good quality rap nowadays. Plus the outfits are hilariously garish and bold. But all parachute pants aside, this a great behind the scenes doc. It really give you an appreciation for the way music videos are shot. I find it admirable how, in spite of it only being a 3-5 minute video, they have enough impassioned hard working people on hand to make a feature film. Plus, how great is it that most of the movies main cast is featured prominently in the music video. I don't know how you may define awesome but I'm pretty sure M.C. Hammer having a sword fight with Gomez Addams (Raul Julia) over Morticia Addams (Angelica Houston) comes very close. Oh, and in case you think this was M.C. Hammer's only time making a music video for a motion picture you were wrong. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cM7vqqS8jSI
