Commando Score - Tropical Wild Jungle Fever Returns Again

If you were waiting for a reissue of James Horner's wild tropical beast of a score for Commando, then you just missed out. The reissue for Commando sold out in less than 24 hours, showing there still are human beings with good taste in music!



The legendary 1985 score by Horner carries on from his wild "48 Hours" score, introducing heavy percussion, tropical drums and just wild action cues which haven't been heard since. Actually, they did reappear when Horner scored Red Heat a few years later, but this score is his definitive masterpiece alongside his Star Trek 2 The Wrath of Kahn soundtrack score.

This new release is on La La Land Records who have done a public service by releasing this beast of a score once more. Now if only James Horner pulled his finger out of his backside and did another score like this, we could have some more enjoyable one liners and wild action scenes.

To top it off, they have included the long trenchcoat Power Station anthem with this score to satisfy the cravings of everyone, somewhere, somehow, indeed..

Enjoy the score and remember these great one liners.

"I eat green beret's for breakfast and right now i'm very hungry".

"You're a funny guy Sully, I like you. That's why I'm going to kill you last."

"Don't disturb my friend, he's dead tired."


Even Sully went "oooh la laaaaa" when Matrix dropped him like a piece of meat.

Commando (1985) - The Arnie Show - The Almighty One Liners

You don't need to say anything to describe this ultimate macho masterpiece. Its the one liner king as Arnie shows today's "action" failures how to do proper action scenes.



The only modern movie which even comes close is Liam Neeson in Taken, but none of Neeson's lines can match such legendary quotes as "WRONG" and "I eat green berets for breakfast, and right now i'm very hungry", not to mention the way Arnie skilfully snaps the neck of his "Dead Tired" friend.

This movie also features the pounding action classic by James Horner where he improves his 48 Hours score by giving us more tropical and jungle flavours than ever before. Bask in the glory of the one of the greatest action scores known to mankind.


It ends with a hard hitting Power Station classic to close out this masterpiece of film making.





This is how you make a proper action movie Hollywood, now give us another one like this and stop pussying about!
