Fatboy Slim - Rockafeller Skank [Official Video]





The music video for "Weapon of Choice" by Fatboy Slim featuring Bootsy Collins was filmed in the lobby of the Marriott Hotel in Los Angeles, California.

Key Details

  • Location: The Marriott Hotel in downtown Los Angeles, now known as the L.A. Grand Hotel Downtown.

  • Filming Date: December 2000.

  • Director: Spike Jonze.

  • Starring: Christopher Walken, who utilized his background in musical theater to perform the dance choreography.

The video is widely celebrated for its seamless choreography and technical execution. To achieve the "flying" sequences, Walken performed with a complex system of wires and steel supports, which were later removed and composited into a 3D recreation of the lobby during post-production.
