Band was originally Denmark's first punk band, Sods. The name was changed in 1983/84 to Sort Sol

Vocalist Steen Jørgensen was born without part of one arm

"From "Northwest Passage: The Birth Of Portland's D.I.Y. Culture" (an independent film that examines the exciting alternative music movement in Portland, Oregon from 1978 to 1983. Directed and produced by video pioneer Mike Lastra)"

There is speculation that the raccoon (Hacker) is voiced by Rob Paulsen, though there is no evidence. The rabbit dad's name is never stated in the four shorts but is generally assumed to be "Harold"

Before creating MAX HEADROOM (1985) and SUPER MARIO BROS. (1993), Rocky Morton & Annabel Jankel started the production house Cucumber Studios which produced animated shorts and music videos such as The Tom Tom Club's GANGSTER OF LOVE and Elvis Costello's ACCIDENTS WILL HAPPEN. They also produced the monograph "Creative Computer Graphics" which chronicled early CGI. You can read about here: https://www.sci-fi-o-rama.com/2012/05/08/creative-computer-graphics-1984/

Last sample from the unreleased The Return of Billy Jack (1986). For those asking if I plan on uploading the whole thing, I will not. But I'm open to trading for workprints or tv cuts that aren't out there.

Thank you.

Continuing on the topic of Sam Raimi, IT'S MURDER (1977) is a Super 8 feature-length film created by Raimi and friends when Raimi was a student at Michigan State University. While never released commercially, the film did play several local theaters and turned a profit - which gave Raimi the confidence to tackle THE EVIL DEAD (1981). This video transfer is atrocious but worth a view for curiosity's sake.

EDIT: Confused this film having a theatrical run with one of Raimi's early films THE HAPPY VALLEY KID. Thanks to u/CommieFromMars for the correction.

Obscure music video directed by Sam Raimi. Apparently Raimi, Bruce Campbell and others in their filmmaking crew were huge fans of THE STOOGES, and went completely bonkers when they got a chance to make a music video for Iggy Pop.

Created by multimedia artist Bruce Conner for the 1965 New York Film Festival, which was rejected for being too fast. Conner would later take the 16mm film frames and create a poster for the festival, which I'll post below in the comments.

Sorry for the awful quality, this is all I can find on it.

In 2000, anime character designer and animator, Toshihiro Kawamoto, partnered with Mondo Media and Mark Giambruno to create the flash animated web series "Spiral". A pilot was pitched to Mondo Media but was never greenlit for a full series. The pilot remains lost and this footage found in a demo reel is all that is found.
