I'm pretty sure that was Black or White.
Now you can luxuriate in a nice jail cell, but if your hand touches metal, I swear by my pretty flowered bonnet, I will end you.

I definitely remember watching that video when it first premiered, I think after an episode of The Simpsons, and the car-smashing part got edited out of later showings, but it was there.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Black & White had the car smashing at the end. It was edited out after the first broadcast.
Bad was directed by Martin Scorcese, in the Toronto Subway. No automobiles.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Black and White ends with all of the different people melding into each other while they sing.
Wasn't there an inexplicably long ending that had no lyrics to it? I remember it their way. Let me google.
eta: Wikipedia backs them up: "Controversy was generated concerning the last four minutes of the original music video. Jackson walks out of the studio as a black panther and then morphs into himself.[13] Then he walks outside to perform some of his most physically complicated dance techniques, in a similar way to "Billie Jean". This part contained sexually suggestive scenes when Jackson starts to grab his crotch[12], and then zips his pants up. In the original version, Jackson is seen smashing windows[12], destroying a car and causing an inn (called the "Royal Arms") to explode. "

Wikipedia says:
Controversy was generated concerning the last four minutes of the original music video. Jackson walks out of the studio as a black panther and then morphs into himself.[13] Then he walks outside to perform some of his most physically complicated dance techniques, in a similar way to "Billie Jean". This part contained sexually suggestive scenes when Jackson starts to grab his crotch[12], and then zips his pants up. In the original version, Jackson is seen smashing windows[12], destroying a car and causing an inn (called the "Royal Arms") to explode. Jackson later apologized saying that the violent and suggestive behaviour was an interpretation of the animal instinct of a black panther, and MTV and other music video networks removed the last four minutes from subsequent broadcasts.[13] To make the vandalism more palatable to viewers, racist graffiti was digitally added to the windows that Jackson smashes (reading "KKK Rules", "Nigger Go Home", "Hitler Lives" and "No More Wetbacks").

Here's the full version of the Black or White video. (At least, that's how it's labeled. I haven't watched to the end yet.) [link]
edit: yeah, that's the right one. The weird scene starts around 4:45.
