The Smithereens - Blood and Roses (Movie version)

Video for "Blood and Roses" by the Smithereens, featuring scenes from the 1986 movie "Dangerously Close".

[@deathstrike]

The point of this video for anyone interested is rememberence. The abandoned school is Vista Verde probably after (spoiler alert) the Sentinel's "hunts" and Korrigan's subsequent death were revealed to the public. Out of sheer lawsuits and public outcry, the school was closed. By the look of the mess, it was years later, and Kruger was thinking of the events that took place. Chances are he's probably scarred from it and wants some closure, hence picking up a Sentinal mask and just sitting there. Pretty symbolic for a survivor of a horrible event.

The very very first song I heard when I stepped into the Student Center at Northern KY University in '86, was simply stunned what I heard, been my fave band ever since!! RIP Pat you are missed

[@anthonyhamm6875]

THAT WAS THE NAME OF THE MOVIE!! YES YES YES!! Dangerously Close! Loved this song. They also used it in an episode of Miami Vice.

[@ddave7026]

Gotta find that now!

[@johngonzalez624]

So thirty-six years later I find out what that dude was doing sitting around in this video. THANK YOU FOR POSTING!!!

[@Nigellus94]

The movie is what introduced me to this song

[@Marcstang04]

Miami Vice introduced me to this song

[@Hotnycguy]

I fell in love with this tune from them as well as their other song "Strangers when we meet" featured briefly in the film and followed their music ever since. Extraordinary work from an incredibly under rated album! Glad to have grown up with their music, and help me through some rough times. Keep on Rockin!

[@medussaa99]

love this song and I do remember this movie. thanx

[@mtrayne]

I am so happy you posted this. I've seen it on 120 Minutes and it's so captivating and moody. It made me want to watch the movie even the movie is of questionable quality.

[@TDTam11]

mtrayne very questionable quality 👎🏻

[@AlbanianMan]

RIP Pat Dinizio

[@sixwingsram]

🌟amazing how good these guys were and now all but forgotten. Whatta shame, they had the perfect sound and lead singer was perfect 🎼

[@2krocker]

I love these old vids, good seeing mike playing :)

[@JBMurdock]

Oh how I miss the 80's

[@photonotavailable7936]

And the 20th century.

[@NathanArnoldCharging]

Grunge before grunge became popular!

[@ddave7026]

The end of New wave and break dance music ..hieght of Hair metal, whoever produced this movie must have had really had their ear to the street. This movie was LOADED with what was to come.

[@24q-Jason]

Very cool song, I'm surprised more ppl have not watched it.

[@clairefreeman6273]

1:48 that guy Ripper doesn't even drink his shot- he just slams it into (and all over) his face!

[@lerm2866]

U never knew this video existe, thank you very much!

[@lerm2866]

Piece of shot tablet; "I" never knew.

[@steveritt]

Great song. I have a live recording of it from their Myspace site - unbeatable!

[@rubey09]

These guys were way cool!

[@shadowcappi415]

🛑🛑It was long ago.. seems like yesterday..

[@OSDCrusher]

This music video is from the official smithereens channel. No one just threw this together.

[@green285]

goddam this song is good

[@thesaladbar4250]

fucking ay.

[@dylonrasco]

0:44 does this cop look like Frank Heffley from Diary Of A Wimpy Kid looks a bit familiar

[@ddave7026]

At the height of Hair metal and New Wave and Break dance fading this movie was loaded with "alt".

[@clairefreeman6273]

Does anybody know what song is playing after they leave the bar and drop Donny off? I can't remember exactly where in the movie it plays but I swear it sounds like a Depeche Mode song...

[@Bandit-em1sw]

Stripped by Depeche Mode.

[@serventofthegoatmen7]

I must say, when I found out this was a music video created by someone who just splashed song over some movie scenes, I was skeptical, but I'm quite impressed by this, to be honest with you. Well done, and keep it up.

[@AlbanianMan]

This isn't a fan made video. This is the version MTV used to show back in the day.

[@PJVids83]

Dangerously Close is a terrible movie but the cinematography in it is fantastic and so is this song.

[@AlbanianMan]

I actually liked that movie. True, it was made by The Cannon Group (Kings of crappy movies) but I thought this was one of their few decent flicks.

[@TDTam11]

Amazing scenery/visuals, crummy plot.

[@chrishedge887]

I have very found memories of the movie. Loved the soundtrack too!

[@Poloniothx]

Esto me recuerda al Dorado FM!!!!

[@_serenity3298]

Found it 😄

[@mbbonner]

What movie?

[@pedrovasquez188]

🤓🤘😘😘😘

[@michaelwalsh8800]

who is the actor in the video in the shades? is he one of the guys from the movie? which one? i'm not sure he's in the movie tho. he kinda looks like an early Clancy Brown, (bad guy from Highlander)

[@clairefreeman6273]

He appears to be the guy who plays Krooger only without his mohawk... "Time for that all-important first MAJOR buzz of the day!" :-) DId you also notice that even after the dog chases the Kroog-warrior into that river of water that his mohawk still comes up intact after getting wet. That mohawk defies the laws of physics and gravity as well as H20!

[@TDTam11]

Michael Walsh Bradford Bancroft ...he was also in Bachelor Party (1984)

[@christinash2235]

Ok look these old dudes with Caesar haircuts are from the 90s. When this song was released in 1986 lead singer was only 30-31. He's 40 here, looks older really, maybe due to drugs or other hard living (explains death at 62). Everyone is like "this song from the 80s." Ok you only heard this song in the 80s if you were in college. I was a child. I heard it in the 90s, along with a video of uggo dads. The band footage is from the mid 90s. Stop gaslighting me!

[@johngonzalez624]

I first saw it in 86 on U68. Yes, I am old and proud of it!!!

[@poohkie752000]

Nope; this is the original video from 1986. You're horribly wrong. Ceasar cuts were in the 80s too. I was in middle school when this song came out.

[@norellpolk1626]

The pee grunge era

[@gmar7836]

Horrible B movie. Even for 1986 standards. I remember the TV commercial. And I remember that car, the old Mustang. But you cannot beat the song

[@chrishedge887]

I thought it was a cool movie. Granted I was a jr. In high school but we all liked it. Love the soundtrack!
