Hey folks, Harry here... Want to know why this kung fu film will be unlike anything you've ever seen or heard before? It's because of the info below. My favorite Kung Fu score of all time is ENTER THE DRAGON by Lalo Schifrin...
HOWEVER, having said that... it got so ripped off and overused over time, that it kind of defined what Kung Fu sounded like. THEN came MATRIX and CROUCHING TIGER HIDDEN DRAGON... Both films gave a different sound to Kung Fu. MATRIX with its Techno Rhythms and C.T.H.D. with its melancholy strings.. they both introduced the music to Kung Fu on a mainstream level which has stuck.
This... This is going to be a Kung Fu movie that fucking rocks the roof off of every joint it burns the screen of. Nancy Sinatra? Fucking A! She's the embodiment of ass-kicking women everywhere... BANG BANG is a fantastic number and oh so aptly used here. Charlie Feathers? Heh, well prepare to fall in love. God willing, this'll lead you to the rest of Charlie and his Musical Warriors tunes. I hope that in Vol 2 Quentin has a Bob Wills tune, but I'm not too obsessed about that, cuz Tim McCanlies used one in SECONDHAND LIONS, and thus rules!
You probably know Bacalov's work from IL POSTINO, but Italian western fans know his work on DJANGO and Tarantino Film Fest goers know him from WIPEOUT by the brilliant Fernando Di Leo... oh, and us fest goers will be delighted at the sight that Bernard Herrmann's theme from TWISTED NERVE is present here... I have to tell you folks... once you hear this theme... it will be with you for all the days of your life. I saw TWISTED NERVE once like 6 years ago, and I can still whistle this tune... which gets fairly complicated.
I've got no idea what any of the RZA music will be like on here, and am curious as you are. Isaac Hayes RUN FAY RUN will own. As will Al Hirt's GREEN HORNET. The Tomoyasu Hotei music from the teaser trailer is here, and we all know it rocks! I don't know anthing about Santa Esmeralda's work, but I won't bet against it. THE 5,6,7,8's rock this world hard. The RZA adaptation or blending or whatever of Charles Bernstein's WHITE LIGHTNING music will ROCK HARD CORE!
I'm not sure what "The Flower of Carnage" is, but Meiko Kaji is a Japanese actress that played the greatest damn revenge exploitation killer in the history of Japanese cinema that I know. Check out the DVD to FEMALE CONVICT SCORPION JAILHOUSE 41 (1972) She plays Matsu - and after you watch that film... nothing is ever the same!
As for Gheorghe Zamfir's THE LONELY SHEPHERD, the music screams classic Leone circling stand-off... My bet this is the music for the Lui/Uma Blue Leaves sequence... it is 4 minutes and 25 seconds long complete, it could fit... also, Quentin would have wanted the music there to time the moves out, since some of the martial arts were timed to beats. The Pan flute work on this one is breathtaking... give a bit of a listen to it Here! All this, plus sound effects and dialogue... this soundtrack can not arrive to my house SOON ENOUGH!!!! I want it NOW!
