The two car scenes Morrison were from movies back in the day Steve McQueen with the Mustang, the movie was called Bullet! And the Scene with the Callenger car was from a movie called Vanishing Point. Morrison wasn’t a actor.
"MR MOJO RISIN" as he sings in this song is the name "Jim Morrison" with the letters of his name all scrambled together that Morrison came up with for himself.
@@scottlaughlin9897 Thanks, I remember the word "anagram" from school, that was a long time ago, I guess I forgot it a long time ago too....I learn or "relearn" something new every day! 😀❤️😆
A lot of these clips (especially of Jim in the desert or driving the Mustang) were from a short film he wrote and produced called HWY that he was hoping to eventually make into a feature. Jim had gone to UCLA's film school in the mid 60s before he and Ray started the band together.
Jim died in 1971, a few months after the release of this song. Born December 1943, hence he was 27 when he died. I'm glad that you couldn't predict where the song was going. It's what makes it exciting! Next, Love her madly, please?
This music video was fan-made. To my knowledge, The Doors did not make any promotional music film clips in the late-1960s and early-1970s. Any music video of the group was made after Jim Morrison’s death.
The Doors' were so very interesting from the music to Jim Morrison, his voice, and all his quirks and beliefs, to even his untimely death. In "The Doors" movie, obviously a biopic, Morrison is played by Val Kilmer & somehow does an excellent job in transforming himself into and embodying Jim Morrison, he even does pretty good at imitating his voice from what I remember. I think if anyone has trouble in understanding The Doors & their music that this movie will definitely help, especially if you get the CD or Blu-ray that has a ton of bonuses and features, very interesting! Morrison himself was mysterious and interesting
This is the year I started driving, a 67' Dodge Coronet with a 440 engine. 7 miles to the gallon and the gallon cost $0.23 cents for that leaded gallon, but I was making $0.35 an hour base pay as a waitress - so it was a lot of money! And yes, people lit up at the gas stations all the time. Insane, true, real also true.
Do you remember what they use to say about the 440? Pass everything but a gas station. I had a '70' Charger, 383.. I was bringing home $63.00 dollars a week for 40 hours.
The Doors had a lot of great songs in the 60's such as "Riders On The Storm", "Love Me Two Times", "The End", "People Are Strange", "Hello, I Love You", "Touch Me", "The Unknown Soldier", "Love Her Madly". Sadly Jim Morrison died in 1971 at the age of only 27 but left a great legacy of music.
I noticed someone noticed the white Charger was from Vanishing Point, it's a really great movie that's very hard to find. It's also very poignant in the end about the pain many veterans felt when they came home from Viet Nam.
As someone else noted, some of the car scenes are lifted from period movies. A white Charger was mentioned, so I'll add that it looks like the Mustang scenes were lifted from Steve McQueen's Bullitt, which is legendary for its chase scenes. Others may point out other snippets, but Morrison was reckless, so any of that driving stuff actually showing his face was likely done for other reasons, maybe just for fun. Remember that while he was in college he was studying for a degree in filmmaking, so the hobby-level filming is a good theory to account for that having been assembled from "home movies" made to a semi-pro standard.
Great reaction dude! You have to react to "Riders On The Storm" next a haunting song that debuted on Billboard's Hot 100 chart the same day that Jim died. 7/3/71.😨
Brother I would recommend their song Peace Frog.....pay attention to the intro....each instrument comes in one at a time and layers on each other... very cool. Keep up the good work and good content Brother! Peace From Pennsylvania ✌️
The opening scene alludes to the rumors that persisted for many years that Jim actually faked his death in order to escape the music spotlight and concentrate on his poetry. The craziest of the rumors had Elvis doing the same a few years later, and he and Jim hanging out together somewhere! Just as with Elvis there were supposed "sightings" of Jim around the US and France until fairly recent years.
Yes, but which version by The Doors? In all the live versions I've heard, which I've listened to any that I've come across by them, the song is always a little different each performance, whatever came into Morrison's poetic & intoxicated mind he added in the song it seemed, other than the album version my favorite is the THE END- live at The Hollywood Bowl 1968 version altho it's 15 mins long! Especially if you find the live video with it.
Jim did own a British Racing Geen Ford Shelby Mustang. Some if the shits are of Jim and his car. The ither shots are taken from the movie Bullit. There actually is an official music video for this song with his Mustang and palm tree lined LA streets. Search it on TH-cam Jim wasn't a movie star, but he did cinematography in college. He was always messing with a camera.
The Beatles did the first ever music video in 1965. It didn't catch on tho until the 80s, I dont think many other bands were doing it in the late 60s, early 70s
I think the video might have been produced to play on MTV to promote the "Doors" movie. A lot of the footage was from "Bullit" and "Vanishing Point"; 2 movies from the 70"s. The stuff with Morrison looks like 16mm film, which was how a lot of low budget, independent films were shot. I don't think it was widely viewed.
Touch Me was actually performed on the Smothers Brothers show It came out in 1968 because they had been banned the year before by Ed Sullivan for going against his edict about "Light My Fire"
If you want another song that's going to completely blow you away unlike anything you've heard from the doors play their song the soft parade title track from the same album you need to listen to it. it's early progressive rock
The film is from a film Jim made called HWY: An American Pastoral 1969 ‧ Drama ‧ 52 mins ......it is Jim Morrison in his green mustang.....and the later scenes are from the movie Bullit with Steve McQueen....who also drove a green mustang in the movie....Bullitt en.wikipedia.org › wiki › Bullitt Bullitt is a 1968 American neo-noir action thriller film
Jim's heart finally gave out on him in 1971, in Paris France. After many years of HARD DRINKING AND CIGARETTES, he had finally succumb to the pains he had been feeling for over a year. He hated heroin and heroin users, so it is unlikely he died from an overdose.
Official report Was Heartache, he was said to drink 3 bottles of Bushmills Irish whiskey a day, and Jim went To UCLA FOR FIlm school ,he had a very high IQ , He gets bored with Things especially when not in control, cost him ,but every one says he overdosed,he really broke on thorough, he Transended to the other side when his Door opeved
I know Jay Z is controversial in the rap community, but he sampled the Door's song "Five to One"... one of my fav door's songs... may have been Kanye's idea, not sure
LA Woman is one of the greatest Doors songs. You feel like your cruising at night through the streets of LA, "Cops in cars, topless bars". But it's best to just listen to the flow of the song, and not be distracted by a music video. This video is very distracting. Odd to mix the real Doors footage, and Jim's driving footage, with all those muscle-car movies from the late-60s? Great films, but nothing to do with the song. Terrible to edit the roar of a car engine over the song, and do it four times! The song should be the star, not the music video.
Been a huge Doors and Morrison fan my entire life I am 58. Morrison is the American Poet! Mr Mojorisin. Btw there is and never has been evidence that he truly exposed himself in Miami and he wasn't messing around with a woman he showed up to the show like 2 hours late and totally impaired that laid the foundation for that evening. Greatest line ever I have engaged on a leather bracelet "The future is uncertain and the end is always near"
This isn't the music video and that ain't Jim. I don't like it because the engine noise drowns out part of the song and you've got a Jim Morrison phony driving a mustang then a dodge who-knows-what. I don't care if they're both good muscle cars, it ain't a proper portrayal and it's BS. Just take it all away! Oh, and apparently he crashed the Challenger and the Mustang ran out of gas so now he's hitch-hiking. It stopped being a song about LA and became a video about Barstow.
there was no video -there was never videos just albums!!!! no videos for classic rock these put together vids are DISTRACTING AND MISLEADING TRY TO GROW UP AND JUST LISTEN NOT WATCH FOR A MORE AUTHENTIC YES AUTHENTIC EXPERIENCE =SMART YOUNGER PEOPLE TODAY ARE STUNTED ATTENTION /WISE YES STUNTED AND DUMBED DOWN AS WELL
F//// THE VIDEO IT IS A MEANINGLESS DISTRACTION NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ORIGINAL AND CRAPPY SOUNDS OF ENGINES ADDED WHICH IS RIDICULOUS NOT ON THE ORIGINAL

It’s called an anagram.

Years ago my kids got me a t-shirt that has Jim Morrison on it and says "An Ameircan Poet". I cherish it to this day.
Ray and Jim met at UCLA film school.
That is Jim with the beard driving the Mustang, but there are clips from other movies.
Time for ‘The End’
The Doors' were so very interesting from the music to Jim Morrison, his voice, and all his quirks and beliefs, to even his untimely death.

AND - “When The Musics Over” - NOT to be overlooked. PLAY AT VOLUME!
@@36karpatoruski MOST DEFINITELY!!! 🎶🎚️🎧
The city is the woman. And she’s all over the place too.
Absolutely my favorite song from The Doors.
I noticed someone noticed the white Charger was from Vanishing Point, it's a really great movie that's very hard to find. It's also very poignant in the end about the pain many veterans felt when they came home from Viet Nam.
That is a Challenger not a Charger, a 426 hemi Challenger.

this has become my fav Doors song. and it's their last- ltierally Jim took off the headphones and headed for Paris
No, Jim wasn't a movie star, but he was certainly a VIDEO star. He'll live forever. Thanks for your reaction.
A lot of the car stuff around San Francisco is from the classic 1968 film Bullit starring Steve McQueen
Brother I would recommend their song Peace Frog.....pay attention to the intro....each instrument comes in one at a time and layers on each other... very cool. Keep up the good work and good content Brother!
Peace From Pennsylvania ✌️
love the doors!
Hit "Peace Frog" one of these days, my dude.
The clips are throughout his time in the band. He died a few months after the album came out.
The opening scene alludes to the rumors that persisted for many years that Jim actually faked his death in order to escape the music spotlight and concentrate on his poetry. The craziest of the rumors had Elvis doing the same a few years later, and he and Jim hanging out together somewhere!

If you haven't reacted to The End by the Doors, you should.
Yes, but which version by The Doors? In all the live versions I've heard, which I've listened to any that I've come across by them, the song is always a little different each performance, whatever came into Morrison's poetic & intoxicated mind he added in the song it seemed, other than the album version my favorite is the THE END- live at The Hollywood Bowl 1968 version altho it's 15 mins long! Especially if you find the live video with it.
It looks like the added footage is from Bullitt maybe? A movie from the 60s shot in Cali.
The cars in this vid are from "The Vanishing Point," 1971 "Bullitt," 1968 and Morrison driving.
Jim did own a British Racing Geen Ford Shelby Mustang. Some if the shits are of Jim and his car. The ither shots are taken from the movie Bullit.
There actually is an official music video for this song with his Mustang and palm tree lined LA streets. Search it on TH-cam
Jim wasn't a movie star, but he did cinematography in college. He was always messing with a camera.
Barry Newman starred in Vanishing Point and Steve McQueen starred in Bullitt.
You’re not supposed to watch the video but listen to it and relax, close your eyes
You should watch the movie "The Doors" He lived a short but absolutely crazy life! Val Kilmer played him in the movie. Kilmer played him incredibly
The Beatles did the first ever music video in 1965. It didn't catch on tho until the 80s, I dont think many other bands were doing it in the late 60s, early 70s
Jim did a little video called "Highway" which shows him in some scenes. It doesn't have anything to do with the song or he announcement of his death.
Yes ❤
Scenes from the movie The Doors + archives films
I think the video might have been produced to play on MTV to promote the "Doors" movie. A lot of the footage was from "Bullit" and "Vanishing Point"; 2 movies from the 70"s. The stuff with Morrison looks like 16mm film, which was how a lot of low budget, independent films were shot. I don't think it was widely viewed.
There is another official music video. I think he died before the album came out in 1971. Thanks 🙏. He was a Shooting Star ⭐
My favorite song by them
Some of those clips are from VANISHING POINT (1971) the white Dodge Charger.
A few of those clips are of Steve McQueen, from the movie “Bullitt”.
If you get the opportunity to do so, please react to The Doors’ second song they performed on “The Ed Sullivan Show”, which is entitled “Touch Me”.
Touch Me was actually performed on the Smothers Brothers show It came out in 1968 because they had been banned the year before by Ed Sullivan for going against his edict about "Light My Fire"
fun fact - Jims father was an Admiral in the U.S. Navy
That video is a mash-up of movie clips & some live performance stuff.
This is the best driving song ever! P.s. I got a speeding ticket once with this haha
I believe Jim Morrison and Ry Manzurick had a film class at UCLA ...,so they made films before
The joke the gods played on me... it's okay, I accept the joke... and smile
If you want another song that's going to completely blow you away unlike anything you've heard from the doors play their song the soft parade title track from the same album you need to listen to it.
it's early progressive rock
IT was put together after his passing
The truth is he didn't pull out his shaking he made look that way but it was his finger
Check out “Crystal Ship” and “Love Street”!
I seen Steve McQueen in BULLIT in there too!
It's about city of angel
a lot of the video was from the the movie Bullet starring Steve McQueen
"Mr. Mojo Risin'" is "Jim Morrison" scrambled
The film is from a film Jim made called HWY: An American Pastoral
1969 ‧ Drama ‧ 52 mins ......it is Jim Morrison in his green mustang.....and the later scenes are from the movie Bullit with Steve McQueen....who also drove a green mustang in the movie....Bullitt

there are plenty of drugs other than heroin.

Mr mojo rising translated to Jim morrision
Great reaction! You ain’t getting punk’d neither cause I see you get it.
Wait until you hear "The End."
Check out Roger waters, the song is called 'in every strangers eyes ', ps, he's the original bass player from pink Floyd
Peace Frog !
The video mas made after he died using old clips.
Its a part of movie they made
Watch the movie "The Doors" with Val Kilmer.
I know Jay Z is controversial in the rap community, but he sampled the Door's song "Five to One"... one of my fav door's songs... may have been Kanye's idea, not sure
Morrison died in Paris, 1971...
Next song you should so I the end
My man, their just archive clips put together by the video uploader.

Its a tribute
I thought he had a blue 67 Shelby?
Not a movie--it has cuts of a movie in it and also some film project Jim was working on but not a real movie.
All of their songs are different.
Mr Mojo Rising is an anagram for Jim Morrison. The song is about the city of LA. The video is distracting imo
Pretty sure clips are from the Doors movie they made starring Val Kilmer as JM. T
ummm, no
10:21 You are being punked. Morrison was not a movie star. Morrison did attend UCLA with an intent major in film.
Been a huge Doors and Morrison fan my entire life I am 58. Morrison is the American Poet! Mr Mojorisin.

Not only that, but some of the scenes were taken from Bullitt, and featured Steve McQueen driving his Mustang.
nah, the video is a distraction, made much later. It's cool an' all, but all the engine revving detracts from the music.
