I just saw the film - for the first time!
I understand that the score was kind of similar to 48 Hours. Did Horner ever write another score in this style?
I guess some may call the music obtrusive, others propulsive. I think it's cool.

Red Heat counts too, at least when it isn't all Russian chorus!

This is one of my favorite modes for Horner. It's cacophonous and slick at the same time. 48 Hours and Gorky Park use this sound well. I also like the Bus Boys songs on 48 Hours.
Would love to see a re-release of Red Heat as I never picked up that CD, and would gladly purchase I Love You To Death. I only know the latter score from the film, but it's a lot of fun.

When i saw the film back in 1985, I wanted to have this score. Horner was the 'rising star' at that moment, his scores to 48 Hrs. and 'Uncommon Valor' had impressed me very much. Then years later, the Varèse Club' released this score, and............. I was very disapointed. Apart from the Main Title and one or two action tracks, this is not a good listen.
In this action mode, the best tracks are actually on 'Gorky Park'. More 'full bodied' and more inspiring, and very exciting.

Man, growing up I watched this movie like other kids watched cartoons. Your first time? Really?
I guess I had a different youth than you. I was 10 when this film came in 85, no way I was able to see it at that time.
