This is without a doubt one of the best action cues this man has ever written!

Randy Newman was a very odd choice as original composer for AFO. His songwriting was cinematic, but he was a satirist, who had no history with action music. I'm not denying Newman's talent (Ragtime, The Natural, etc.), just his suitability for AFO. His score sounded like he was lampooning the film's patriotism. Goldmsith was THE action score specialist and he knew how to deal with the OTT, cheesey elements in AFO. Goldsmith swore he'd never score on such a short schedule as AFO again.

[AspergianMind]

The valiant, desperate courage of the crew & the brutal, barbaric invaders both frantic on getting control of Air Force One or trying to land it. All leaving us nailbiting on what the outcome might be.

Seeing that Jerry Goldsmith had only 12 days to make the replacement score,

you really sense an edge of "time being of the essence" genuine in this track, not just by the written notes but by the execution of the orchestra led by the hand of Goldsmtih.

Now thats negative energy turned positive!

"Smoke, smoke! Notify the cockpit!!" Favourite part:)

Music scores today are just so mediocre with songs thrown in, scores that sound like other films, or just scores that simply lack emotion. I can remember the last time there was a score that stood up on its own merits. Goldsmith's musci did this all of the time. He is so much missed. I remember Jerry all the time and the feelings he's evoked in his music.

This is one movie I can watch over and over and over again. And one soundtrack I can listen to over and over again as well. RIP Jerry Goldsmith, his work was truly amazing.

[EmpireLS56KW]

High octane adrenalin Jerry pulsating Goldsmith score for nearly 8 minutes listening in DOLBY STEREO PRO-LOGIC JBL sound system.

[Dashie87]

Smoke! Smoke in the cockpit! lol XD

[nostromo38]

Just compare this sympony to the film music that we hear today. No comparison. Goldsmith was just brilliant.

Love it

[86Timewarp]

This track is epic!!!

[Skriven2209]

I love how Goldsmith keeps this sequence moving with a small salvo of motifs that augment the barbarity of the terrorists and the desperation of the AFO crew. It really drives home the urgency and tension, while simultaneously making it bold and epic.

I'd also like to point out how Goldsmith didn't plug in the stereotypical EPIC!CHOIR! to make this a massive, heartstopping piece.

I love this part! trying to land the plane! Nearly breaks the Rammstein control tower!

[janhammerrules]

This is a TOP NOTCH action cue. VERY DRAMATIC, with a sound of jeapordy. He could write like no other.

Alost hard to believe this was a REPLACEMENT SCORE, replacing Newman's score. He sure had to write this one fast! Some have said he has done his best work under pressure with little time. Hard to argue.

He's been on both ends, replacing scores, and being replaced. It's just business to him.

God rest your soul Jerry.

where can i find the full soundtrack

[dafmurray]

SonicMoviesUnleashed, the soundtrack CD for Air Force One is only 30 minutes long and doesn't include any of the Russian Choir music or any of Joel McNeely's cues for the fighter dogfight sequence. You'd be better looking for a bootleg release of the score.

[Impulset0]
