So, I remember seeing a music video online somewhere which was like, a weird cross between sci-fi, kung-fu, and westerns, all in the style of a 70’s low-budget feature. Anybody know the video or song I am thinking of? 😕 ---

I kind of have a feeling that this ain’t it, but the first thing I thought of was Tom Petty’s “You Got Lucky”: [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0m7EkhhX8vE) Any chance that’s it? ---

I think it was probably Muse’s [Knights of Cydonia](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jV1bRfLHA3A) . ---

And _I_ think it was probably [_Tears of the Black Tiger_.](http://youtube.com/watch?v=saTKuN5bc68) ---

And _ **I** _ think that Blunt got it, but that everyone should keep guessing, cause the other two were super cool. 😃 ---

[QUOTE=Blunt] I think it was probably Muse’s [Knights of Cydonia](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jV1bRfLHA3A) . [/QUOTE] A great song from a terrific band, and one of my favorite videos ever. I figured this was what the OP meant as well. ---

Yeah, I knew just from the thread title that it was Muse’s _Knights_. It’s been linked here a couple times in the past few months. I wasn’t going to post anything because someone already answered and I didn’t have anything to add (except that Muse is awesome). But then **Czarcasm** had to go and post this: [QUOTE=Czarcasm] May I present the song stylings of …[_vonHummer!_](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=faHF06TzvZY) [/QUOTE] Gah! That video is creepy. And what the hell does it have to do with the OP anyways? It’s not sci-fi, kung-fu, western, or 70’s-esque. I mean, it is a music video, but that’s about it. 😕 ---

So, I came up with the greatest idea. Someone needs to make a Sci-Fi Zombie Noir Kung-Fu Western. ---

Bonnie Tyler’s video for “Holding Out for a Hero” had a Western theme. Been a while since I;ve seen it so I don’t know how sci-fi it is. ---

[QUOTE=Larry Borgia] [It’s been done.](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0303461/) [/QUOTE] Could use a LITTLE more Kung-Fu, and a lot more noir. 🆒 ---

No Kung Fu or sci-fi but Sublime’s [Santeria](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPpZBo7PHrg) has a western theme.
