8 Million Ways to Die - Opening Titles

These are the opening titles for the 1986 movie "8 Million Ways to Die."

I saved it because I like the helicopter ride and music at the beginning.

Note how the helicopter intercepts the police car at just the right time. Great coordination by the PAs!

The music is by James Newton Howard, a genius.

My "Movie Music Theory" is that in the opening moments of a movie, the music quality reflects the quality of the film itself. This movie supports my theory.

I remember many great scenes from it. the one strongest in my mind is when "Sunny" (Alexandra Paul - a real fox), playing the Good Hooker, is kidnapped before she can testify against Andy Garcia's villain "Maldonado."

The last we see of her, she's looking out at us from the rear of a van, speeding her away from the protection of Jeff Bridges' hero, "Scudder." She's obviously screaming, though we can't hear her. As she claws helplessly at the rear window, we see her hands leave bloody palmprints.

Oliver Stone co-wrote and Hal Ashby directed, book by Lawrence Block - what a creative team!

Rosanna Arquette later married James Newton Howard (the lucky guy!), not long after he scored her next film "Nobody's Fool." Unfortunately he's not too fond of his early film work on the whole, so we probably won't see an album release of this or "8 Million Ways To Die."
