Christopher Walken's Weapon Of Choice

Archive note

A recovered promotional poster for a fictional MTV Japan / British Music Awards co-presentation, circa mid-2000s. Christopher Walken, in character as a middle-aged man in business attire, gestures expansively toward an unseen threat with the phrase 'Check out my new weapon, weapon of choice'—a direct reference to the Fatboy Slim music video in which Walken famously danced. This artifact suggests an alternate history in which Walken's iconic performance inspired a full action-comedy vehicle or satirical campaign, blending high-concept absurdism with endorsement culture. The bilingual text (English and Japanese) hints at pan-Asian distribution. Collectors of crossover ephemera and celebrity misadventure will recognize this as evidence of a project that hovered between homage and parody.
