Beyoncé and Jay Z may be two of the biggest musical superstars in the world, but they're playing some rogue runaway gangsters in a newly released video from their On The Run tour. In a short, silent film titled "Bang Bang Part One," the Carters revive their Bonnie and Clyde characters to play lovers, well, on the run.
The nearly three-minute, highly cinematic clip played during the couple's recently closed On The Run Tour but it's now available online for those who weren't lucky enough to see the show in action.
"Bang Bang Part One" plays into old Western films, with a grainy black and white style and no heard spoken dialogue.
The video opens up with Beyoncé as a classy lounge singer, serenading her man who suavely smokes a cigar. Cut away, and soon they're on the run, driving through the desert to goodness knows where, shooting mailboxes and riding along just for the fun of it.
Soon, they stop at a country diner, with a cigar still in Hova's hand, and the outlaw finally puts out his smoke on a man's hamburger... who happens to be reading a newspaper with the infamous couple on the front page. Then, they drive off into the sunset... with the story to be continued in two more parts.
