One of the Best Music Videos Ever?
Watch the epic video for Muse's "Knights of Cydonia" HERE.----Im really liking this wikipedia site more and more everyday: "The KOC video was shot over five days: three days in Romania; one day in London; and one day in Red Rock, California; it was made available on July 11th, 2006. It was filmed and edited in the style of an old western film, complete with beginning and end credits. Despite the western setting, many references to 60s and 70s pop culture are present. Examples of these have temporarily removed, as the band is running a competition in which fans have to guess the 15 references. It was directed by Joseph Kahn, and stars British actor Russ Bain as the lead cowboy, Richard Brake as the antagonist, and Cassandra Bell as the love interest.
A very brief scene in which Bain has sex with his love interest was edited out of the video for presentation on television. The complete, uncensored version (which contains no frontal nudity) is available for viewing at the Director's website.
A deliberate mistake occurs on the main title card, which begins with "KNIGHTS OF CYDONIA (C) MCLMXXXI". These Roman numerals are improper, though might imply that the video was filmed in the years 2081 or 1881. However, at the end of the video, a title card reading "THE END (C) MCMLXXXI" indicates the year 1981. It is possible, however, that this was done intentionally."
