The "Badder" clip transitions into a second short film, referred to as "Speed Demon" , directed by Claymation innovator Will Vinton. A portion of this clip is set to the track Speed Demon. In the film, Michael, in an attempt to avoid overzealous fans (even The Noid), disguises himself as a rabbit (named Spike), but ends up taunting the fans into chasing him. During the chase, he morphs into other celebrities, namely Sylvester Stallone, Tina Turner and Pee-Wee Herman. After finally losing the fans, he removes the costume, which comes to life and challenges him to a dance-off.
In the end, a traffic cop tells him he is in a "No Dancing Zone", and when Michael turns to point to Spike, the rabbit has disappeared. The cop then sarcastically asks for Michaels autograph (as opposed to "signature") on the ticket. The irony intended is that the fans that pursued him all wanted his autograph. Just as Michael is preparing to leave, Spike's head materialises in a nearby rocky crag. Spike then nods to him and the clip ends.
Producer Quincy Jones has stated Michael wrote this song after recieving a speeding ticket which made him late for a recording session. After telling Quincy about it, he told him to write how he felt about it.
