Don't you bastards make me watch this (surprisingly enjoyable) movie again just to jump aboard a wishlist train that will never make it to the station.

Sure it'll make it. You'll just have to wait forever since they do like one or two batches a year now, and when you get it, it might be scratched up and they'll refuse to replace it. And then for the bazillionth time, drivingmissdaisy will suck up the cost.

To MY ears, his Air Force One music is the closest to this style, but it sounds like he is aping Williams' Temple Of Doom possibly (just not ripping it off entirely, like with Iron Will, where he also rips off Broughton in the unreleased action stuff).
Cadillac Freefall had to have been in the temp for the Kruger Escapes cue from Eraser as well. There's another Silvestri cue that has that McNeely-ish sound, but I forget it now.
Soldier's weird brass was definitely an influence on The Matrix, while we're talking about Soldier.

Revisiting in anticipation of the imminent arrival of IRON WILL. Love the main theme!

I've been on an "early 1990s" movie kick this week. Enjoyable score for this one; it reminded me of similar swashbucklin' & tuneful scores from this era - too bad there are rarely those types of fun scores in our present time. Terminal Velocity The Movie itself is what can be called an "oater" - a fast-moving action pic that's not terribly memorable after it's over. Although it was amusing seeing Nastassia Kinski as an action girl.
So a weird coincidence re this film. Yesterday, I rewatched Sneakers (now that's a memorable action/caper movie) and came to the part where Redford refers to Timothy Busfield's character Dick in a way that makes it sounds like he's calling him a dick as well. My mind briefly wandered onto just why the nickname for "Richard" is "Dick." I had never really contemplated that before. Where does the "d" come from? Because it's the last letter in Richard? Then why the "k" in Dick instead of "ch"? Someone named "Dick" may as well refer to himself as "Ditch" and avoid the dick jokes.
OK. So today I decided to try Terminal Velocity. I actually don't even remember it from 1994, but Maltin gives it a good notice, so I thought I'd give it a try. I had NEVER read anything about this film beforehand, nor did I know any of the characters' names. I start watching and Charlie Sheen's character is a Richard Brodie. And what is his nickname? Rich? Dick? Ricky? Nope. It's "Ditch"!
I was stunned. Admittedly, his nickname derives more from being a skydiver, I guess. But life sure throws us some weird coincidences every now and then.

Such a fun score. I remember discovering McNeely many years ago, starting with IRON WILL and quickly buying every available score. This one has been a favorite ever since. Just dusting it off today.

So happy to see this thread get some more attention. You've all heard my views ad nauseum, so will spare y'all.
Com'on Varese! Take a chance and Deluxe this one! ;-)

Yeah, I'm sure I posted multiple times in this thread, but can't be bothered to look. I'm old now, but I still love this score.
