| - Title: In The Beginning Was The End: The Truth About De-Evolution Director: Chuck Statler (see "closing credits")
* The Men Who Make the Music, We're All DEVO! (Jocko Homo segment only)
* The Complete Truth About De-Evolution Characters: DEVO, Booji Boy, China Man, General Boy The film starts with a closeup of a television screen, on which the film's title is displayed. It cuts to a factory where DEVO and Booji Boy are working. One member notices that it's quitting time, and they all pile into a beaten up car. They pull up across the street from a club, and enter. On the club's bottom level, they perform Secret Agent Man in front of large DEVO letters, while the film periodically cuts to various odd images. This segment ends with a scene of Booji Boy running through a parking lot and into a building via a fire escape. Inside, he hands a set of papers to General Boy, who informs us that "Every man, woman, and mutant on this planet shall know the truth about De-Evolution." Booji responds, "Oh, Dad! We're all DEVO!" Following are a series of rapid fire clips of the letters "D E V O" in yellow neon, accompanied by an audio snippet from Mechanical Man. The camera cuts to a lecture hall and a lecturer singing Jocko Homo. As he recites the song, the classroom begins to riot. Following Jocko Homo is the Devolutionary Oath, with a close-up of images on T.V. screen. Before the end credits, we see Booji tied to a chair. A male figure wearing a mask steps in, removes the man in the chair's mask and stabs him in the abdomen. The background music in this sequence is a distorted version of Because by The Beatles.
