=== 1990s === In 1990, Pop recorded ''[[Brick by Brick]]''. The album was produced by [[Don Was]] and featured members of [[Guns N' Roses]] and [[the B-52's]] as guests. His ''Kiss My Blood'' video (1991) was directed by [[Tim Pope]] and filmed at the Olympia in Paris. The video attracted much controversy, as it included footage of Pop performing with his penis exposed to the audience. ''Brick by Brick'' featured his first Top 40 U.S. hit, "[[Candy (Iggy Pop song)|Candy]]", a duet with B-52's singer [[Kate Pierson]].

In the early to middle 1990s, Pop would make several guest appearances on the [[Nickelodeon]] show ''[[The Adventures of Pete and Pete]]''. He played James Mecklenberg, Nona Mecklenberg's father. In 1991, Pop and Kirst contributed the song "Why Was I Born (Freddy's Dead)" to the soundtrack of the film ''[[Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare]]''. The song also plays over the end credits of the film, with a compilation of clips from the ''[[A Nightmare on Elm Street (franchise)|A Nightmare on Elm Street]]'' series running alongside the end credits.

In 1992, he collaborated with [[Goran Bregović]] on the [[Arizona Dream (soundtrack)|soundtrack]] for the movie ''[[Arizona Dream]]'' by [[Emir Kusturica]].

In 1996, Pop again found mainstream fame when his 1977 song "[[Lust for Life (Iggy Pop song)|Lust for Life]]" was featured in the film ''[[Trainspotting (film)|Trainspotting]]''. A new video was recorded for the song, with clips from the film and studio footage of Pop dancing with one of the film's stars, [[Ewen Bremner]].

In 1996, Pop released ''[[Naughty Little Doggie]]'' and the single "I Wanna Live". In 1997, he [[remix]]ed ''Raw Power'' to give it a rougher, more hard-edged sound; fans had complained for years that Bowie's official "rescue effort" mix was muddy and lacking in bass. Pop testified in the reissue's liner notes that on the new mix, "everything's still in the red". He co-produced his 1999 album ''[[Avenue B (album)|Avenue B]]'' with [[Don Was]], releasing the single "Corruption". In 1997, Pop was credited with the soundtrack to the film ''[[The Brave (film)|The Brave]]''.{{sfn|Parrill|2009|page=191}}<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=RwpJFOSyEmEC&pg=PT358|title=Gimme Danger: The Story of Iggy Pop|first=Joe|last=Ambrose|publisher=[[Omnibus Press]]|location=London|year=2002|isbn=978-0711991071}}</ref>{{sfn|Pomerance|2005|page=286}} On January 1, 1998, Pop made a guest appearance on [[Paramount Television]]'s science fiction series ''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine]]''.
