I had forgotten about this video.

Quote:
David Mallet's music video for the song features scenes from Fritz Lang's 1927 science fiction movie Metropolis. Freddie Mercury's solo song "Love Kills" was used in Giorgio Moroder's restored version of the film, and in exchange Queen were granted the rights to use footage from it in their "Radio Ga Ga" video. However, Queen had to buy performance rights to the film from the communist East German government, which was the copyright holder at the time. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_Ga_Ga

I remember seeing that video in high school and was fascinated by the film then dug up information about it in the library. I've been wanting to see the whole film ever since. Lang's Metropolis was way ahead of its time.
