"'Looks That Kill'" is a song by American heavy metal band Mtley Cre. It was released as a single in late 1983. The song is considered one of their best.
Background
The track was written by bassist Nikki Sixx and spent 10 weeks on the 'Billboard' Hot 100 chart in the United States, peaking at #54 and #12 on the Mainstream Rock Tracks.
Music video
The music video was filmed at A&M Records' main sound stage. It features the band in a post-apocalyptic setting where they trap a group of women in a cage while performing the song. In the middle of the video, the warrior queen (played by Wendy Barry) appears to release the women before confronting the band. The band follows and surrounds her, but she disappears, leaving a flaming pentagram on the ground.
