There is a scene in the film where Jack is driving over the bridge and it’s accompanied by a very short version of the main theme. Does anyone know if this is tracked in from another cue. It doesn’t appear on the original album.
It's an alternate take of "Jack Leaves Elaine's Apartment", but edited down. It's preserved on the Blu-ray's isolated score

Received my package yesterday! I intend to fully dive into the musical contents later this week, but just from the samples I've heard, this looks like a fantastic release and the definitive presentation of this score. It's also great to finally have the film version of "Subway Station" and, as a bonus, the Ralph Grierson piece (which I tried to identify on Shazam numerous times but without luck)
And BrendonKelly, I was wrong: there is no alternate take. That bit of music is simply tracked and abbreviated from "Jack Leaves Elaine's Apartment"

What’s the difference between Subway Station on the first release and the film version? I know it’s been split into two cues (although in the film it overlaps as it does on the original release).
On the 2011 album, the track "Subway Station" contained both "7M1 Heavy Traffic" and "8M1 Subway Station" combined together. You can hear "Subway Station" begin at 2:47 into that track, with "Heavy Traffic" continuing until 3:09.
On the 2022 album, now 7M1 is in its own track ("Snippets/Heavy Traffic"), and so is 8M1 ("Subway Station")
8M1 has two versions, where the saxophone solo was a completely different improvisation between each version.
The 2011 album only contained the version that wasn't used in the film, leaving the film version unreleased.
On the 2022 album, they kept that unused version in the main program, and put the version used in the film in the bonus tracks.

Made some new discoveries on this wonderful set. The biggest one is that "Subway Station" as heard in the film is actually an edit of two versions! Both of them included on the set, naturally. And "Aerobics" on this set ends without fading out, compared to the earlier edition.
There is one factual error in the booklet, though: it says that this edition was derived from the original mixes by Shawn Murphy. But according to IMDB, Dan Wallin was the score mixer for this film; Murphy mixed the sequel.
Factual error aside, this is a great set, and I'm happy to have it

c8, if you're watching it for the first time with 2024 eyes (and on a small airplane monitor, no less), I can understand why some elements in it are offputting.
But I saw it in the 80s, on VHS, and was totally captivated. I went into it expecting a lighter action comedy like BEVERLY HILLS COP, and was totally taken aback by how gritty and violent and serious it was. It instantly became a favourite. To be fair, I haven't rewatched it in many, many years, but that initial connection will be hard to overcome.

I remember I saw the movie way back when it came out and thought it was very interesting the way Horner had scored it. 48Hrs. may have been the third Horner score I came to know (after WOLFEN and STAR TREK II), and I loved that gritty, urban sound. The movie back then was quite violent, but original, practically a template for many of the cop buddy movies that would follow. I remember I liked it when it came out, though I haven't revisited it since.

This right here.
I can look at an old movie or show and just not enjoy it as much as I used to, but to be put off by how said product of its time is something detestable now because society deems it so....my brain isn't wired that way.
Horner's first real score for "The Lady in Red" was for a film that is rampant with bullets and boobies flying everywhere...and 48HRs is the better film by a mile.
I'm never going to look down on that time the product came from, as if now is any better.
I last watched 48HRs back in the late fall. Just as much fun as when I was younger.

Fully agreed. Not only do I not think now is any better, now is much worse. I much prefer a world where everybody throws racial slurs and epithets at each other in good faith (like in the Gran Torino Barber Shop Scene) over a world where everybody curbs their speech in an attempt not to offend anybody. I think the most offensive thing are people easily offended. :-)

This. Unfortunately, the wankers from Moral Climate see things otherwise.

). I think Doug broke into my house and stole it so I'd have to order.
