[powerghost216]

One kick-ass techno-tune to hang loose by!! A great song to play in your daydeams!! Too bad it did not get to number one. Only to #23 in 1979.

[IowaEye]

Could this be considered the first-ever "Techno" song?

[discodroid101]

@IowaEye no the first is i feel love by donna summers

[IowaEye]

@discodroid101 Thanks. After I posted this, I did see that on another site. But that song was also produced by Georgio Moroder, so wrong song but right person.

[musicbox4788]

Cool sound and video.. D

[kbs1212]

All I can picture is Bart and his girlfriend Nikki skateboarding.

[Grnvolpe]

So did Katy Perry do a cover of this song or something? Why is she being brought up?

[FinnFoxx]

@Grnvolpe think he means that todays music is not what it used to be

[88mphsss]

If at 5:13 you don't feel like dressing as Scarface/Miami Vice characters and having Tom Selleck in the passenger seat while driving KIT then nothing will.

[JKP603]

Screenplay by Oliver Stone.

I dedicate this song to the New England Patriots this Sunday. Go Pats !!!

[EtoThe1toTheV]

@JKP603 LOL way to go

[JKP603]

@EtoThe1toTheV Yeah, the Super Bowl didn't work out the way I wanted. But it was a good run for the Pats.

[TwoPointsUp]

Also, they way Billy Hayes hid the money from Ziat (Rifki in the movie) was pretty fucking brilliant!

[adriankeibord2]

Moroder genial!!

[2pacthugzta]

Moroder is one incredible electronic composer, no question.

[MrHugorocks]

the movie midnigth express is awesome love this theme 

[Patriot1389]

John Hurt as Junkie prisione is EPIC!!

I heard dead christians XD

[2pacthugzta]

@Patriot1389 yup, and Randy Quaid was epic too!!

[Patriot1389]

@2pacthugzta

Yes indeed..

We are going thru the wall XD

I mean I quote some funny stuff but this is one of rare films whic almost make me cryed in some parts...

I mean whole film is masterpeace..acting,director,a­tmospere,soundtrack...this film isnt entered in history of cinematography by accident..real classic!

Also actor who played turkish snitch bastard Rifke is acted him so goo tha I wanted to blow his brain after half of film!!

[2pacthugzta]

@Patriot1389 Yeah, I was happy to see that prison rat get his after he snitched on the escape plan too. What a bastard.

[TwoPointsUp]

@Patriot1389 - John Hurt was "Max", but the film is not the same as the source (i.e. the Book)..Max, in the real story was not English, but Dutch-- and ended up spending a lot of his time in the prison pharmacy at Sugmalcilar prison, Istanbul..

[TwoPointsUp]

To bad Brad died not too long after making this movie.. He would have had a fabulous film career, no doubt!! RIP, man..U were great.

[4setto]

@TwoPointsUp He died in 1991, 13 years after the film was made. Very sad.

[TwoPointsUp]

@4setto - Really? That long after? Wow..what was his work after this film? (You can tell I like to hear from real people rather than Wiki or whatever) Was it an OD? Thanks..

[TwoPointsUp]

@4setto - How about this: the scene at at 6:46 is fairly mild, tho it is the best in this clip.. He (Hamid) beat the shit out of Billy's feet and legs with that *falaka* stick, about 15 wacks..Billy's feet were so swollen he couldn't walk for a couple weeks.. But: Hamid was killed outside the prison by an ex-Turk inmate, not by Hayes..His real escape was more complex, and not from the same prison..

[Futurepast1000]

Great music, awesome movie.

Welcome to Coast To Coast, where the Mystical meets the Noorycal.

[scorpion7418]

those were the days the 80s the best ,,they will never be times like that,,,,were passion, love, beauty, ,,and women had lots of class and men as well,,especially at the nigh clubs,,todays nite clubs,,i laugh sorry...my children tell me about them and I feel sorry for them,,

[Khazar01]

@scorpion7418 you're very lucky that you didn't have to see how it all changed....

When I first started going out it was just before those golden times ended, and witnessing the transformation from then to now is just plain painful.

[2pacthugzta]

@Khazar01 Yup, I was around then and the decline over the years is something I never imagined would happen.

[christophezirgle]

WELCOME ON YOUTUBE ZIRGLE and the waves and thanks giorgio so

the midnight express bobby eaton and sweet stan lane

[TwoPointsUp]

Great soundtrack..A couple of fact clarifications : (1) there was no girlfriend with him when William H. got arrested at the airport, and (2) the Turkish cops started slapping each other around at 4:56 because they felt like total idiots for not checking his boots for hash after a "thorough" pat down..

[soultanos04]

[TheSmf4u]

@58raptors yeah man i hear you

[richiebear1969]

"Oh Billy!" (placing boob to window pane)

[powerghost216]

I loved this song since it first came out in the 80's!!! Still love it today in 2012!!

[Reychelo79]

46 people think Katy Perry is a talented artist.

[Iamaturk]

@Reychelo79 no maybe 46 people dont think good about movie. Hater and Racist movie.

[Timeofchords]

@Reychelo79 What does Katy Perry have to do with this? Can you people stop making stupid and pointless comparisons for a few thumbs ups. As a matter a fact Perry is a great singer in my opinion and she has some nice songs.

[Reychelo79]

@Timeofchords Sure thing kid, go back and keep watching Justin Beiber videos, he sure is a talented musician.

[Timeofchords]

@Reychelo79 Wow, denying obvious facts. I don't consider Justin Bieber or Katy Perry artists, they're pop icons. We need them, even you need them. Hating JB has become the conformist thing to do, but how can you deny the fact that they actually do sing good. I find it funny how you relate my age (without knowing anything about it) with taste in music. I have never fully listened to a Justin Bieber song, but I don't go announce that by commenting on a legendary movie's amazing soundtrack.

[quaabhunter]

@Reychelo79 Miseltoelauncher takes skill bro

[richiebear1969]

Amazing Reworking Top Sound !!!!

[saddy941]

Wonderful movie...great electro music  by the genius Giorgio Moroder... Thanks a lot for sharing!!!!

[TwoPointsUp]

Billy Hayes is my idol (at the moment)

[MrMcg70]

Giorgo Moroder, responsible for electronica music....ahead of his time. Great soundtrack and timeless movie.....

[KnocturnalFlame]

@EvilRobin1 I took a kick to the cock. Does that count?

[loganmybrot]

coast to coast am

[itwontcomeout5678]

This movie changed my life. I was feeling pretty down and stressed out over the summer, and I saw this and realized suffering and pain is a part of human life, no matter how bad it gets. So I realized the only way to get through it was to live with it, not complain about it, and find your opportunity for ESCAPE. it worked for me :)

[TwoPointsUp]

Two weeks after seeing this film again- after a long time- I got arrested..How life mirrors art (which in this case was based on life!..)

[MrDiplo1]

@TwoPointsUp your fuck!!!!

[TwoPointsUp]

@MrDiplo1 - I think you mean "you're fucked."? If not, then what the fuck are you saying?

[TwoPointsUp]

I can't believe this flick wasn't in the "1000 Movies you Must See before you Die" book! WTF??

[PoLaKoiD]

thank you. muslim culture, then? great movie by the way

[PoLaKoiD]

So this film gives a rude, radical point of view of the arabic culture (ok, its from the 70's. I dont care). Does somebody know an arabic film that gives a radical pov of westerns? (hopefully with subs). Sorry for my bad English.

[alexthehistorian]

@PoLaKoiD Turks are not Arabs. Are Asian-Mongolian race.

[yukimann2000]

@PoLaKoiD Ja takiego nie znam .

And you're right , Turks are NOT Arabs .

[Sierrari85]

[hjdutch]

midight express is a very goood movie

[ALUAND17]

[JewishWarrior1964]

Misnight express from the old NWA used this theme and so did Overnight with Art Bell a really cool piece of Music

[terminator363]

Not a good idea to watch this movie a week before your trip to Istanbul. I made that mistake >.<

[Juicybabex95]

@terminator363 turkey isn't really like this haha

[bagpotato999]

@Juicybabex95 yes the movie midnight express is a true story

[MrAbagaz]

[MrAbagaz]

@MrAbagaz could*

[Konnerdad]

Jim Cornette, George Noory, Grand Theft Auto:Liberty City Stories, and good music all brought me here

[greatwhite61967]

One of my favourite movies and theme tunes of all time, just class. Anyone here think they should re-make this classic? As lets face it this generation wouldnt know a truely great movie if it was in front of them & it would be the only way they'd watched it. Bradd Pitt in the lead role, similar looking and though Robert Creel "Brad" Davis could act him off the screen. I think Brad Pitt has come a long way & could do this classic a re-make justice it deserves..

[OnTheBlocksMedia]

man this song is interesting sounding.

[Lincoln1242]
