"Speed Demon" Music Video / Short Film

Date assessed by the fact that Michael accepted the "Best International Solo Artist" award “live via satellite” (more likely taped) for The 1988 Brit Awards, which aired on February 8, 1988 (airdate confirmed on the official website); shooting would have completed before his return on tour February 23, 1988.

Speed chase scene on March 4, 1988, confirmed on pg. 312 of François Allard and Richard Lecocq’s “Michael Jackson: All the Songs: The Story Behind Every Track” (“We shot the speed demon chase scene two days after Michael appeared on the Grammy Awards...”)
