Here's why David Fincher music video coming in at $5 million. Another entry at the top goes to Limp Bizkit.
Their music video for "Rollin'" cost an estimated $3 million, with the promo itself being directed by frontman Fred Durst. The video even features cameos by Ben Stiller and Stephen Dorff. "Rollin'" came from the group's album Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water, which is one of Limp Bizkit's most popular records. In addition to "Rollin'," it featured hits like "My Way," "My Generation" and "Take A Look Around," which featured on the Mission: Impossible 2 soundtrack.
Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water also featured Limp Bizkit's "Boiler," which received another expensive music video directed by Fred Durst. The video for "Boiler" doesn't have much in the way of a story, and is really just an array of arresting images, including a woman who vomits out a bomb or an animated sequence where Durst runs from a hot dog monster. It carries something of a horror movie tone, which is one reason why MTV censored Limp Bizkit's "Boiler" music video during its original release.
While not extensive cuts, around 20 seconds of footage was removed from the MTV version of "Boiler." The moment where Limp Biskit guitarist Wes Borland's head suddenly falls off was cut, as was much of the section where Durst wakes up in a room full of beds. Various shots of the couples on the beds enjoying themselves were a little too spicy for MTV, so they censored most of these images from Limp Bizkit's video.
That fact The Fanatic in 2019, which featured John Travolta as the troubled fan of an action movie star played by Devon Sawa.
