DeVito steals the show
Rodrigo_Amaro17 March 2021
A precious and joyful soundtrack video staring Billy Ocean performing the song "When the Going gets Tough, the Tough get Going" with the assistance of his banking vocals the stars of "The Jewel of the Nile" Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner and Danny DeVito all dressed up in white and lip-synching the song. All incredibly made and with a resonating quality sound. It's pure rhythm at its greatest.

While the song, music and performance is mal about the enthusiasm of everyone involved, it's DeVito who steals the show as the funny performer who has the chance to play the sax solo at a given point. The man is incredibly funny trying to mimic playing a gigante (for him) saxophone. Nothing wrong with this clip, maybe that it could be longer. PEACE!

Jewel in the Crown

Warning: Spoilers
I like it when music videos of songs from movies actually feature stars from the movies, and here you have Billy Ocean performing When the Going Gets Tough, the Tough Get Going from the movie The Jewel of the Crown, the sequel to Romancing the Stone. I think the song gave The Jewel of the Crown much energy (it needed it really), and it was encouraging to see Michael Douglas (this was seven years before his explosive role with Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct), Kathleen Turner and Danny DeVito (who appeared in the movie) appear in the video. Anyway, When the Going Gets Tough, the Tough Get Going is worth watching.
