Michael Kamen is very recognizable. Even before I Googled it I could tell he did the music for 'Die Hard' and 'Lethal 'Weapon'. I picked it up my second time watching 'Road House' that it was the same guy too. Classic 80's.
yes. "die hard 2" was released one year later. but a big part of the score still feels sometimes like a "die hard" movie. that's not necessarily a bad thing...
A good movie, but I wish the theme of revenge and murder was carried throughout the film; for example, Bond could've delivered Sanchez to the DEA in one piece, but he murdered him in cold blood instead.
@xtremespeed128 Sanchez could have escaped again with all the millions he can give to potential accomplices, this time he had to pay for what he did to Bond's closest friends (Della especially). He had no choice anyway, Sanchez was on the verge to kill him with a machete.
@deusirae76 "He had no choice anyway ..." That's what I mean: I would've preferred if Bond had a choice, but decided out of his vendetta to kill Sanchez anyway.
Definitely the most tense Bond score. I wish more Bond movies had scores like this...not to disrespect David Arnold, as I like his interpretation, too, but I think his is a bit too conventional.
@vfxfan This was my favourite soundtrack piece until the extended version of Live and Let Die came out and so I would give that honour now to the last piece on that album which I think was called Underground Lair.
RIP Michael Kamen and former James Bond composer John Barry.

Whenever I hear Kamen I hear Lethal Weapon. Did not go well for 007 IMO. But I like his work in other movies.

Michael Kamen's DIE HARD action scoring meets John Barry's Bond scoring style. One of the best Bond scores!

My absolute favorite rendition of the Bond theme!
nerdtalk326 1 year ago
I agree 100% this is a great additon of the Bond theme.
My fav part is 6:40 easily the most dramatic sound ever. Just wish the theme was a peerie bit longer.
