As the lead-off single, "Jump They Say" received a considerable promotional push from Bowie's new label, Savage Records (though Arista Records distributed the package in Europe). A striking video was shot by Mark Romanek, depicting Bowie as a businessman paranoid of his colleagues, who seemingly conduct experiments on him and find him a disturbing influence, forcing him to jump from the roof of the corporate building to his death. The video is heavily influenced by Jean-Luc Godard's 1965 film "Alphaville", Stanley Kubrick's "A Clockwork Orange" (1971), as well as Chris Marker's film "La Jetée" and Orson Welles' "The Trial" - both from 1962. The uniformed women shown monitoring Bowie through high powered telescopes are an homage to the stewardesses in the Pan-Am space plane in Kubrick's "" (1968). The video was praised by "Entertainment Weekly" after Bowie died in 2016, saying "Bowie is an excellent actor, and this video may be his best character performance in a music video."
