Music Video

Wiki

Synopsis

The video follows an unnamed captive who breaks free from an office controlled by heavily armed agents. Shot entirely from his point of view, the escape quickly turns into a frantic assault involving hand-to-hand combat, firearms, explosives, a hostile dog and a pursuit through the building and surrounding streets. The hero fights his way toward a mysterious teleportation device while the action grows increasingly graphic and chaotic, ending the "Insane Office Escape" story with the intensity of a first-person shooter.

Factoids & Trivia

  • "Bad Motherfucker" is a sequel to the 2011 video for "The Stampede," also known as "Insane Office Escape." The new video begins immediately after the earlier clip's cliffhanger.
  • The entire video was shot with a GoPro Hero 2. Because there were no playback facilities or monitors on set, scenes had to be choreographed, filmed, reviewed and then reworked.
  • The dog sequence combined a trained attack dog with a stuffed stand-in. The dummy was packed with approximately 12 kilograms of bricks for the window stunt.
  • A blank round struck the left side of the frontman's face during a take in which he played one of the gunmen. He later said that the resulting numbness lasted about a week and left him with ringing in one ear.
  • The video also served as branded content for Russian vodka company NEFT, which agreed to support a larger sequel after seeing the band's earlier POV video.
  • Its viral success helped lead to the feature film "Hardcore Henry," which expanded the same first-person action concept into a full-length movie.
  • The video's graphic violence briefly caused problems on YouTube after its release, but it was restored soon afterward.
