Wicked Game
This music video of the song was directed by Herb Ritts, shot in Hawaii at what was formerly known as Kamoamoa beach in Volcanoes National Park on the Big Island. The newly-formed black sand beach was created from lava from Kilauea Volcano flowing into the ocean about a mile away. The beach was covered by lava not long after the video was shot. The video features top model Helena Christensen rolling and frolicking on the beach with Isaak. It was mostly filmed in black and white. Christensen was shirtless through most of the video, although her nudity was concealed by clever camera angles. In the middle of the video, Christensen was seen only in her black lace bra & panties. The video won the MTV Video Music Awards for Best Male Video, Best Cinematography and Best Video from a Film. It was ranked #13 on VH1’s 100 Greatest Videos, #4 on VH1’s 50 Sexiest Video Moments, #73 on Rolling Stone magazine’s The 100 Top Music Videos, and #1 on Fuse’s 40 Sexiest Videos in 2010.
