    Kids re-enact Beastie Boys’ ‘Sabotage’ video in tribute to Adam Yauch

    By Dylan Stableford | The Sideshow – Tue, May 15, 2012

    In a wonderful tribute to late rapper Adam "MCA" Yauch, James Winters, a Portland, Oregon-based filmmaker, enlisted three children for a remake of the 1994 music video for the Beastie Boys' hit "Sabotage."

    "Worked on this with the wife, kids and our nephew over the past week to pay tribute to Adam," Winters wrote in a note posted on Vimeo.com.

    The original video—directed by Spike Jonze—was, itself, a tribute to late '70s cop shows.

    Yauch died May 4 after a three-year battle with cancer. He was 47.
