As anyone who's sampled the delights of the ReFace app can attest, putting your fizzog on the bod of some Hollywood superstar can result in some fun renditions.
will.i.am, Taboo and whoever else is in The Black Eyed Peas clearly know this to be true, as it forms the basis for the enormously fun new promo for their latest stonker, Action.
With Mr i.am being as into tech as he.is, the choice of clips from Kollywood and Bollywood movies is obviously influenced by the most memeable moments shared in the past few years, with the ultra weapon-loadout from Robot, the car-fu violence from Singham and motorway mayhem from Maryada Romanna all getting a look-in.
Kindly sharing on-screen nods to the original directors and films, and hopefully driving people to check out their true insanity for themselves, this bonkers bonanza of cinematic feats is as fun as it sounds.
