Hey, does anyone know anything about the soundtrack to “The Evil that Men Do,” starring Charles Bronson? It’s credited to Ken Thorne but the end credits feature an edited down version of “Cloudhoppers” by Bill Wyman. How and why did this happen? Who modified it?
They both worked together on GREEN ICE (quite a decent score for that, really). Of course that's where 'Cloudhoppers' originated. Beyond that - who knows?
I was just thinking of that one last week after seeing CB in a pair of early flicks on TCM. Saw it in the cinema. Charlie had a way of never hesitating whatsoever to shoot in ones like that.
I've never seen THE EVIL THAT MEN DO but I've looked it up and it seems to be - like GREEN ICE - another ITC effort. I have a feeling that neither Wyman or Thorne knew anything about putting the 'Cloudhoppers' song on the Bronson film and that it was just another attempt to give 'Cloudhoppers' some exposure in an attempt to create a pop hit.
