Death Valley '69 is a video for the Sonic Youth song of the same name. The song originally appeared on the "Bad Moon Rising" album from way back in 1985, at about the same time as Kern was making those Super 8 gross-out masterpieces starring the lovely "Lung Leg" (imdb)

"Submit to Me" is a 1985 Super-8 film directed by Richard Kern. It dispenses with narrative entirely, being simply a record of brief performances by some of Kern's friends and actors. A series of scenes depicting bondage, violence, sex, suicide, self-mutilation, crucifixion, blow jobs and other divertissements are on florid display here, many of which were suggested to Kern by the actors themselves.
