FIGHTS: Remember the #Godzilla -style tribute by the Beastie Boys

SWEET LATE '90s JAM PAID HOMAGE TO GODZILLA STYLE IN MUSIC VIDEO

Bowie V. Ibarra

Hey, so you 'member when the Beastie Boys paid tribute to Godzilla in their 'Intergalactic' video?

Directed by Nathaniel Hornblower (MCA), it's one of the many ways the Beastie Boys had fun with their music, and will always be one of my favorite music videos.  In it, a breakdancing jaeger-themed robot, piloted by a trio of scientists, is flying from space to earth to combat a Lovecraftian kaiju.  They throw down in a wacky Toho-style model fight.

Word on the street was the two dudes in the costumes were getting mad at each other during filming and actually fought.

Check it out.
