Discussion Main / VideoFullOfFilmClips

I reworked the page, and took out a number of examples that either didn't fit (due to having no context or not using clips) or were fanvideos someone had snuck in. I'm pretty sure the trope only counts when it's an official video that's tied into the production - we'd be here all day listing fanvids with film clips in them. Deleted examples are as follows:

• Beyonce's song "Check On It", which was written for, but ultimately not included on the soundtrack for the 2006 remake of The Pink Panther.
• Systems in Blue's "Dr. No" coincidentally shares its title with a James Bond film, and a fan made a video for the song with clips from the film.
• Skinny Puppy's "Worlock" consists of deleted gory footage from 50 different horror films; due to the content and copyright issues, it was banned from broadcast and circulation.
• Some music videos for The Backyardigans songs invoke this trope as well. Here is one of them.
• The music videos for the covers on Disneymania are generally this
• Anastasia and Ben Moody's song "Everything Burns" has no link in lyrics, concept, theme, or mood to the film Fantastic Four, but that's all the video's about.
  • This is one of the sloppier examples, since a version of the video exists without any references—direct or thematic—to the Fantastic Four at all, leaving it a perfectly average (if mopey) music video, and making it clear that the song has nothing to do with the movie.
• This fan-made video of The KLF - America No More (What Time Is War) uses footage from The Day After.
• Most of the various music videos cooked up for the songs from Bubblegum Crisis fall under this trope. Most of the footage usually comes from the episode the song appeared in, but clips from other episodes also shows up now and then.
