“Like airline pilots, we earn our wings every day.”

Bill Paxton

Pat Benatar is a Rosie the Riveter-type factory worker during World War II who daydreams about being a pilot. In one of these dreams, she and three fellow pilots (one is played by Judge Reinhold) sneak into Germany to blow up a Nazi headquarters. They plant their bomb but are discovered by one of the Nazis. They make it back to their planes, but are pursued by a Nazi plane, which they manage to shoot down to make their escape.

Bill plays a Nazi radio operator, who mainly stands around looking young and fresh-faced, and shouting Nazi things on the radio, and accidentally getting poked in the gut by the guy holding the pointer.

Well, he’s young and pretty and wearing a uniform, if a Nazi one. It’s not a huge role, but it’s a music video, so what do you expect? 

Three stars, because it’s a cool song and a fun video and Bill’s cute.

Dead or Alive?
