A Tin Machine Music Video With A Possible FWWM Reference
An element in the music video for Tin Machine's You Belong n' Rock and Roll reminds me of David Bowie's first appearance as Phillip Jeffries in Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. In the Tin Machine music video, David is captured on surveillance footage many times, most notably in a hallway.

It may be a coincidence, though, in the video, David pays tribute to another film in which he appeared, The Man Who Fell to Earth.

The rather disconcerting ending of the video is an homage to Luis Buñuel's 1930 film, L'Age d'Or.
There may be other film references as well.
In the video, Mr. Bowie has a bandage on his leg because of a recent tattoo made in honor of his beloved Iman.
