Crush 'Em by Megadeth: in 1999/the soundtrack to Universal Soldier: The Return 1999 Link https://averagemansreviews2017.blogspot.com/2021/03/universal-soldier-return-1999-by.html starring Jean-Claude Van Damme as Luc Deveraux and Bill Goldberg/Goldberg as Romeo Unisol 2500, likewise they are both starring in this music video.

The basic premise for this music video is: it goes on for roughly under 4 minutes, but it has so much to cover in such a short time; we are in this cold science fiction/medical facility location/backdrop; which from beginning to end is evident as we have for an example a the Unisol/Universal Soldier coming online with this band's name at the beginning of this video, we have Megadeth doing their thing by performing this track, whilst we have these Unisols/Universal Soldier's being led by Romeo Unisol 2500, for those people that are curious and don't know in short a Unisol is a recently deceased soldier that has been turned into a cyborg that has got to be regularly cooled off, because of organ consequently system failure. But back to the premise of this video they are trying to track down and take care of Luc Deveraux: briefly an Ex-Unisol with the designation of GR44 that slowly but surely brokers programming. That in this music video are looking for these Unisols to likewise take them down. It has the presentation of being a claustrophobic experience as it has been shot [by camera] with the band being surrounded by Unisols on a second-tier and them on the ground with a lengthy metal staircase behind the band. There are these two iconic moments roughly back-to-back with Dave Mustaine [lead vocalist and lead guitarist] with Romeo behind him diagonally we have them in the same camera shot singing/saying but mouthing the chorus "Crush 'Em."

Deveraux; mostly throughout this premise he is taking down the Unisols/Universal Soldiers by the usage of martial arts; the camera shot at this point is we the viewer/essentially the camera represent the Unisol/Universal Soldier with the robotic frame with taking on damage from the martial arts so it gives off the impression of a more immersive experience as it clearly has been structured to break-the-fourth-wall.

This film receives: 10/10, this film is top-notch entertainment; the only thing missing from this video is some at the very least nominees for positive awards, you can clearly hear/see a hard-hitting track and concept with imagination used as well.
