Always loved his A DEAL /END CREDITS which had that UNDER FIRE building March Finale feeling. Please share your thoughts on this score. It's surely in Goldsmith's Electronics period, with that HOOSIERS / LINK drum kind of sound in parts. The score for me always had echoes of INNERSPACE with Love Themes that could be cousins and which was written and came out around the same time in 1987. EP is sort of IS with a latin flair. I think Jerry's EXTREME PREJUDICE score fit the film nicely back in the day. I can recall the first time I heard the term "Extreme Prejudice". It was spoken by the fellow sitting with Harrison Ford and the actor who played the Senator in Godfather II. At the beginning of Coppola's APOCALYPSE NOW (1979) they were detailing the orders of Willard's (Martin Sheen) Mission on capturing and killing Col. Kurtz. The guy saying "terminate with Extreme Prejudice" was actually Coppola's Assistant Director on the film, Jerry Zeismer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjB8z0Bvi14 Please share your thoughts and enjoy this Hi-Light for me of the score: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RfA8cxrPtRY Rest in Peace Powers Boothe and Maestro Jerry! The famous beard Boothe sported that would change lengths depending on if he was inside or outside the Cantina!    Posted:   May 16, 2017 - 9:08 PM     By:   Advise & Consent   (Member) Wonderful Goldsmith score. I know that Goldsmith's electronic stylings aren't always very popular around these parts, but I find this particular score to be one of Jerry's best "fusion" of orchestra and synth, "The Plan" being a prime example. I could listen to that amazing cue (original version) forever.    Posted:   May 17, 2017 - 3:08 AM     By:   Nicolai P. Zwar   (Member) I'm a fan of this score since it came out; it's one of my most played Goldsmith CDs.    Posted:   May 17, 2017 - 5:04 AM     By:   Adam.   (Member) I listen to it often. I crank the volume up on my stereo at work before we open. An old co-worker of mine had never heard of Jerry Goldsmith. He makes his own music on synth and drum machine so I offered to make a CD copy of a few tracks from EP and he really enjoyed it. Maybe I got someone hooked on film music.    Posted:   May 17, 2017 - 7:12 AM     By:   Tom Servo   (Member) Still one of my most listened to Goldsmith albums, ever since I bought the original Intrada release back around '91 or '92. I love the synth/orchestral combo here, plus that propulsive rhythmic element, and indeed that end credits cue is a real winner, similar in vein to UNDER FIRE. I didn't see the movie until a few years later and it was disappointing to hear how little of Goldsmith's music was used in the film. I was so looking forward to hearing how that awesome 9-minute "The Plan" cue worked with the sequence - I was denied!    Posted:   May 17, 2017 - 8:22 AM     By:   Rnelson   (Member) Still one of my most listened to Goldsmith albums, ever since I bought the original Intrada release back around '91 or '92.

Get ready to hear from my lawyer.    Posted:   May 17, 2017 - 8:41 AM     By:   TominAtl   (Member) I LOVE "The Plan" cue, one of my all time favs. The end credits are awesome are the cool opening title credits, with the cicada sounding effects. One of my favorite scores of his period. Gets a lot of play by me.    Posted:   May 17, 2017 - 10:11 AM     By:   Sean Nethery   (Member) Saw the movie in the theater, loved it. Bought the cassette in '88 and the CD maybe '91 - loved it. Got the expanded version on release, loved it, but still kind of loved the 50 minute original version better. If I remember right, the original release was the first time a Goldsmith score came out longer than about 40 minutes - and it seemed a perfect program. I pretty much agree with everything said here, but I've always especially loved the clever opening that introduces the special ops team at the airport, and then goes into the main titles. And the return of the Patton echoing trumpets for the ops team - a wonderful reuse of a clever musical idea in a grittier genre film.    Posted:   May 17, 2017 - 10:40 AM     By:   Tobias   (Member) For me, the highlight is the Main Title music, I love it. The rest is almost as good as the Main Title music.    Posted:   May 17, 2017 - 10:59 AM     By:   blue15   (Member) An all-time favorite for me too, and agree with all thoughts posted here.    Posted:   May 17, 2017 - 12:03 PM     By:   David Sones (Allardyce)   (Member) I'm a fan of this score since it came out; it's one of my most played Goldsmith CDs. Same here. And I make grumpy faces when people crap on it because it's a synth score. It's a rousing, thrilling, intricate score that sticks in my head like brain glue. LOVE IT!    Posted:   May 17, 2017 - 12:08 PM     By:   rickO   (Member) Definitely one of those weird Goldsmith's that will never make a top 10 or 20 list. But hey, gotta love it! I would say it's in that same camp of Rent-A-Cop, Link, Hoosiers. I love his synthesizer usage in Gremlins, Legend, Poltergeist II. But those simmons drums drive me nuts in those others. Still love it though. Goldsmith has some major cajones. -Rick O.    Posted:   May 17, 2017 - 12:51 PM     By:   The Mutant   (Member) Love those end titles.    Posted:   May 17, 2017 - 1:02 PM     By:   MRAUDIO   (Member) Great movie! Great score! Saw the film the day it opened back in 1987. Gotta love that shoot 'em up at the end. Also, that main and end title is just fantastic! Reminds me of my top favorite Goldsmith score, UNDER FIRE...:-)    Posted:   May 17, 2017 - 1:40 PM     By:   Spymaster   (Member) Definitely one of those weird Goldsmith's that will never make a top 10 or 20 list Speak for yourself!    Posted:   May 17, 2017 - 2:10 PM     By:   Smokey McBongwater   (Member) "How ya'll doing! How's everybody doing!?" count me in as another huge fan of the score and movie. A Deal/end credits is my favorite cue. I remember recording it from a tape recorder pressed up against the TV speaker when I was a kid. I rank this in my top 5 goldsmith scores.    Posted:   May 17, 2017 - 2:21 PM     By:   SBD   (Member) Very underrated score. I really love the 'Mexico' theme, esp. in the propulsive "End Credits". Cool trailer music, too. Full disclosure: I did this.    Posted:   May 17, 2017 - 3:17 PM     By:   MikeP   (Member) I LOVE "The Plan" cue, one of my all time favs. The end credits are awesome are the cool opening title credits, with the cicada sounding effects. One of my favorite scores of his period. Gets a lot of play by me. The Plan is one of my all time favorite cues, and for my money, one of Goldsmith's all time best. It's mainly suspense, building masterfully, pausing, continuing with those grinding/chirping sequencers, and finally erupting in about 90 seconds of some of the most intense stuff he ever wrote.    Posted:   May 17, 2017 - 3:29 PM     By:   blue15   (Member) I LOVE "The Plan" cue, one of my all time favs. The end credits are awesome are the cool opening title credits, with the cicada sounding effects.

It's like he took the rousing finale to Under Fire, injected it with steroids, strapped it to a jetpack and just let it loose.     General Discussion: Goldsmith EXTREME PREJUDICE a revisit if you will.    < 1 2  > >>  Go to page:  1 2   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1 2
