One of my faves. If Intrada could pull off as good a job on Blue Thunder as they did with War Games (which is one of my truly all-time favorites), I'd be a happy camper. I love the BT score (which yes, is something of a product of its time - intentionally so, iirc), but the SuperTracks release doesn't have the greatest sound quality. Given that the scores were done back-to-back, the same year (for the same director no less), I'd think some cleaner quality could be gotten from BT. Some production notes would be nice, too. And hey, on the Rubinstein topic, since the labels have been doing so many awesome classic TV score releases lately, how about something for Rubinstein's work on Scarecrow & Mrs. King? Heck, he won an Emmy for it (deservedly so). If CHiPs can get 3 volumes released, there's always a chance...

Lot's of fun and always energetic. I have always like the John Badham/Arthur B. Rubinstein's relationship as director and composer. BLUE THUNDER, WARGAMES, STAKEOUT, NICK OF TIME and many others. It seemed like when Hans Zimmer became his regular composer, I lost interest in his movies??? Strange.

Warren Oates had some fun lines in this movie.

Rubenstein's weekly music for Columbia Pictures TV "Bring Em' Back Alive" and Fox's "The Wizard" was also extraordinarily exciting (certainly among the best scoring ever for series TV). Two episodes of "Wizard," in particular, come to mind: "Twist of Fate" and "El Dorado."

Have the MCA vinyl and bought the Supertracks disc as soon as it came out. I'd be all over a new edition with improved sound / liner notes in a heartbeat.
