The last performance Marlon Brando ever gave
Chris Tucker admitted in one of his comedy specials that he ruined a lot of takes because he would joke and mess his lines up and improvise. He said that even though Michael joked around and laughed with him, he was constantly telling him to stop because he was making Michael laugh, and in the process, messing up the shot. There is a "Making-Of" feature that shows them on set of the video and shows Chris Tucker joking around, dancing and improvising. Michael is seen laughing and dancing along with him.
Tucker's character makes several references to previous songs by Jackson, such as " Beat It", " P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing)", " The Girl Is Mine", " Bad" and " Dangerous".
The song was released as the lead single from Jackson's tenth and final studio album during his lifetime , "Invincible" in 2001.
Like Jackson's "Smooth Criminal" short film, "You Rock My World" features moves inspired by Fred Astaire. Many have claimed this to be a sequel, but Jackson reminded fans that short is part of his experimental film "Moonwalker", which has an entirely different plot-outline.
