Einsturzende Neubaten / RUN-DMC video question

No, they haven't collaborated! But I do have a question for each, regarding videos.

First, in RUN-DMC's "Mary Mary" video, exactly WHO was that fatso in drag as Mary?

Second, can someone identify this Einsturzende Neubaten video, which I saw only once 20 years ago? It's a mere performance video, with the band "playing" whilst atop an apparent scrapyard, junk strewn everywhere. There's a guy banging on things at regular intervals, possibly a piledriver too, and Blixa just hollers throughout the whole thing, until near the end, when he actually plays some guitar (which was 'round his neck the whole time) - possibly with a wrench or screwdriver (faulty memory). Assuming that they didn't do many more videos just like that one, can anyone identify that track based upon my rudimentary description?

replies appreciated!

sounds like the Neubauten 1/2 Mensch vid.

Yeah, Halber Mensch, directed by Japanese cyber-psychotronic auteur Sogo Ishii. It's actually a 40 minute short film, more detail on Ishii and 1/2 Mensch here:
