Manchester, U.K. synth-pop duo Futurecop!'s "The Only Way" video begins fittingly, with a reference to now-defunct production company Orion pictures (RoboCop, Terminator), then takes us to Norwalk, C.A.'s Golf N' Stuff, where '80's classic The Karate Kid was filmed.

Our hero, Eric Isenhower ("Parks and Recreation"), is typically late, according to his disgruntled boss Jon Lajoie (Taco from "The League), but he puts some shades on a mannequin, and unwittingly transforms the mini golf course into a solo dance party starring cult film star Whitney Moore (Birdemic), who grinds her way around the course, as our hero gives chase. Animated unicorns, prism effects ensue.

"I think the video is fantastic, it really captures the nostalgia and vibe of the sound perfectly, and it's great to work with Brandon, he totally gets the song," Futurecop! tell Spinner. " It really comes through in his visuals, and he enhances the music so well."

"I wanted to create something that visualized Futurecop!'s sound," added director Brandon Dermer. "That perfect blend of homage to the '80's through the eyes and ears of the 21st century."

Futurecop!'s EP The Adventures of Starpony is available now via Brooklyn-based record label The Sleepover Party.
