This is more than just a coincidence of course. Not only the riff is almost the same but also the build up and chord progressions. I believe it’s mr. Fielding here who is “borrowing” from Ferguson / Chattaway. I couldn’t find a release date of the “Primal Scream” Lp but the movie was released december 22, 1976 (recording sessions taking place in late october). Presuming the Lp was released much earlier that year than it’s impossible to say that Ferguson / Chattaway were inspired by the movie.
The Primal Scream album, according to the credits on my copy, was recorded between August and October 1975.

Thanks Simon for the info. Does it also say where they recorded the album?
That confirms that Ferguson already composed / recorded his version before Fielding recorded any of his music for “The Enforer” (on october 27 & 29). Could be that Fielding (or Eastwood) attended the Ferguson / Chattaway sessions earlier (or got hold of a copy of it) but I find that hard to believe.
Primal Scream was recorded by Joe Jorgensen at 'Media Sound, 311 W. 57th St, New York'.
I've had this album for years on vinyl but had never made the connection between it and The Enforcer!
Having had my attention drawn to it, I've been listening to it for the first time in many years and I've just ordered the CD, as I'm reminded how funky it is 
I'm also inclined to think that this might well have 'inspired' Fielding, who has been known to do a bit of borrowing on occasion.

Yes, I too am struck by the similarities between the Chattaway/ Ferguson piece and Fielding's "Rooftop Chase". I had previously posted the link on the Tommy Tedesco thread, where lexedo was waxing lyrical. I hope he gets back to us with his ideas - he's a wealth of jazzy info.
We can but speculate how this came about. Knowing how closely Fielding worked with his musicians, it's possible that Tedesco started jamming the recently-heard (?) Ferguson piece, just giving some ideas for Fielding to develop, Fielding picked up on it and thought "Yeah Tommy, let's go that direction". Or it may indeed have been temp-tracked that way (although Eastwood wasn't the director, it was his company).
I must admit that on the one hand, as I discover more music in general and make the connection between film scores and jazz/ classical whatever, I'm often intrigued enough to follow up the leads and, in this case, start really listening to Maynard Ferguson, and admiring how Fielding is mixed up in the stew. On the other hand, as I delve deeper into Fielding and strip away the layers, once you've chucked out the Lutoslawski, the Bartok, the Penderecki, the Chattaway (!) etc, I'm left with the feeling that I don't really know if Fielding was basically just a superb arranger more than anything else.
That last comment is sure to ruffle some feathers, but I say it as a (still) huge Fielding fan.
