Hi There =)

Are there different versions of Smooth Criminal. ???

Like video short-film ?? =).

From MJ4 (y)
 
As far as I know there are three versions of the Smooth Criminal video

1. Full length 10 minute short film (Appears in Moonwalker)
2. Edited version (Appears on music channels like MTV and VH1)
3. Sped up version (Appears during the Moonwalker closing credits)
 
Both guys are right

As in album versions, there's 3 that I know of the 4.17 (on the original with Michael's heartbeat)
The edited album version with more punch as Mike requested about 4.10 (no heartbeat intro)
There's also an original Annie Mix which is super funky. A lot of radio stations picked it up despite being longer (about 5.30ish) This is the foundation for the Short film version
 
audio:

Album Version (4:17)
Single Version (4:10) (later used as album version)
Instrumental (4:10)
Extended Dance Mix (7:46)
Extended Dance Mix Radio Edit (5:20)
Dance Mix-Dub Version (4:45)
"Annie" Mix (5:53)
A Cappella (4:12)

All alternative versions from the original production crew
released on official 7" singles, 12" maxi singles, CDs, Tapes etc) in the 80s.






...and then there's this :D

The sped up version was also shown on MTV Europe in the 90s. The normal version was rarely shown.
