Synopsis:-
A helicopter has crashed in a desert, and 2D, along with a bunch of small children, has survived the crash. He fires off a flare in the hoping of attracting the attention of rescuers. The other 3 members of Gorillaz (who are in an APC), some way away, see the flare, and head for where it came from. While waiting for them to get there, 2D starts playing Dirty Harry on his fold-out keyboard and the kids sing along. When the APC arrives at 2D, Booty Brown rises out of the sand and does a rap. When the song finishes they all get in the APC and it drives off.
Additional Information:-
The live action shots were filmed in the Swakopmund desert in Namibia, Africa, which is freezing in the morning, and 40 degrees in the heat of the day. Booty Brown had to do take after take of the 'rising up from sand' shot, but never once complained. The APC was on loan from the Namibian armed forces.
Availability:-
Available on the DVD format of the 'Dirty Harry' single.
