James Cameron directs Kathryn Bigelow in hilariously bad but sincere Bill Paxton 80's music video

Black Book

Back in the day, erstwhile Cameron mainstay Bill Paxton had a short lived band called Martini Ranch, for which Cameron directed this wild-west-themed video. In it, (Cameron's now-ex, and Oscar-winning Hurt Locker director Kathryn) Bigelow plays the leader of a group of female gunslingers who ride in to town and quickly rustle up some trouble. The song is regrettable, but the deliriously over-the-top video more than makes up for it. Look for cameos by Lance Henriksen, Paul Reiser, Jenette Goldstein, and Adrian Pasdar!

2 observations:
1)Personally, I can't believe Cameron, Bigelow or Paxton had a career after this.
2)Watch the opening scene, could this have been the birth of steampunk?
