Trivia
For many years, an urban legend circulated that this music video was directed by George Lucas. This most likely derived from the fact that it was produced by Lucasfilm Commercial Productions. It was, in fact, directed by Stefan Würnitzer - as the IMDb credit correctly lists.

Classic love video parody a throwback to old Hollywood.

1991's "Rush, Rush" was such a classic hit from Paula one of my favorites, and the video received huge airplay on both "MTV" and "VH1" in the summer it was the hot viewing treat more popular than ice creme! The video is well shot and done telling a story it's like a throwback and parody to old classic Hollywood, it's feel and view is like that of the 1950's. It features Abdul and actor Keanu Reeves who are dealing with love and life as it proves it's a daily struggle yet in the end passion and romance will prevail as love and a rush rush destiny was meant for both! Overall great video a highly memorable early 90's classic.
