Lone Wolf McQuade is a great one, It was one of Carradine's best too. If you could tell, it's kinda like an old spaghetti western which really adds the coolest yet very unique look & feeling for a Chuck Norris movie. It's in My Top 10 Norris films.
Thanks PB. I've seen that before. Many people said how fake it is and nothing but clickbait, but you just saw it on a Football game. Of course, Timothy Olyphant is in it because it's Fox. I'm glad they're finally doing an Alien story on Earth. According to what I seen and know. This takes place in-between Alien Covenant and 1979's Alien. and looks to continue the story of David which I sure hope it does and fills in that 45-year-old that us fans have been waiting for our entire lives. Thei supposed to be coming out with 2 Predator movies this year to so i hope it's going to be a grand year for the AVP Universe Don't forget that I have an AVP Topic, before the New Year, I posted a special of the 1979 premier plus more. Look for more to be posted soon
Okay, I'm going to do another Chuck Norris film, this one has it's 40th Anniversary this year from 1985...it's Code of Silence
It stars Chuck Norris in one of his best roles as a rough & tough cop.
The late great Dennis Farina is his partner.
The late great Henry Silva is the bad guy
Here's the trailer
The score is very good. It's by David Michael Frank whom I've posted before as he has done other great action hero scores. If you recall Above the Law, Out For Justice, Hard to Kill & Showdown in Little Tokyo among others then you will not be a stranger to this as here's the Main Theme
The Past isn't a Wilderness of Horrors - We Grow Old Because We Stop Playing - DTA - If it's been done in a movie, then most likely it's already been done in Real Life - ALWAYS Watch the Skies - Question Everything, FTW! = Me + Various <-->
Well, there's plenty more to go Huh, I never saw that one. My Grandpa was a big George Raft fan. Okay, now I'm going to start with one of the good movies that I watched for My Birthday Week We both a did a little of this but when I watched I was gosh, I wanna spotlight that more...it's Tango & Cash
Before I get started, I'm going to do like I did before (I did the same with the 50th Anniversary of Kolchak in My Horror Topic). Here's this wonderful suite by Harold Faltermeyer who did the Running Man. Play this while your checking this out, Just in case, hit it on loop, it's a such good one
So, Tango & Cash acme out in 1989, it had it's 35th Anniversary last year I bought it on DVD in a double pack with Stallone's Cobra that i may revisit as well. I discovered this movie over at Annie Burke's Daughter's Movie Mogul which I wanted to see this o darn bad when it came out during that super fun year.
So it stars Sylvester Stallone. In the movie he says Rambo is a Pu$$y when one of teh cops talks about Rambo so it's something to think that Rambo exists in this same universe
He has his newer look that he really debuted with Rocky V and would continue this in others such as Cliffhanger & Demolition Man.
Also, it stars Kurt Russell as his partner. This was huge for Me because I was like holy crap, it's Jack Burton
He really looks ruggedly handsome here. I love his FUBAR quote
It's still amazing to this day that their together here
Teri Hatcher plays Stallone's younger sister who is very hot & playful which I love that type. She looks quite outstandingly classy hot here
The late great Jack Palance is the villain and boy he is good.
I found it really something when I re-watched this that at the same time in the great fun year of 1989, he was in Batman in a very similar role
The late great Brion James is his big goon
James Hong is one of the gangsters that Palance is dealing with...
yet another amazing thing is that he was with Kurt Russel in Big Trouble in Little Trouble as David Lo Pan
Philip Tan is a goon here and coincidentally, he was one of the Joker's goons as well in the same year of 1989
The late great Michael Jeter has an appearance.
Now, one of the most important appearances is by Robert Z'Dar. He's a prisoner looking to get his revenge on Tango. He is THE ONE that played The Maniac Cop in the Maniac Cop Trilogy People say about how big the chins of Bruce Campbell, Jay Leno & Sgt Slaughter are...well apparently they haven't seen the late great Robert Z'Dar. I'm not making fun of him/them, I like it when people look unusual and so forth, it makes them unique and who they are
Here's the trailer
Now, as a sweet bonus, here's this good scene with Teri Hatcher which stuff lie this, well most of this stuff in the movie so lacks in this day & age
Well, that will do for now, more later

No they don't, this age lacks so much as I said. One of the last if NOT THE The last of the kind of Buddy cop films was Chuck Norris' Hellbound. You can see that and a whole lot more of Anniversaries in My Horror Topic that you missed when you get the time. I included the entire movie as it is free on YT and it's great quality too, I talk about the wonderful score as well
Oh boy, 2 Days in the Valley. One of the many movies of the year of change in 96. This has a be big story when the music is concerned.
The legendary Jerry Goldsmith was the hired composer as you can see his name at the end credits of the trailer that you just posted. His wonderful score was rejected He wasn't the only one in 96 however, Alan Silvestri wrote the music for Mission: Impossible and was rejected and Danny Elfman took his place and also the legendary Elmer Bernstein was rejected and replaced by Ry Cooder for Last Man Standing which I have expressed about that before If you recall, I posted about Goldsmith being rejected before for 2003's Timeline and Brian Tyler replaced him and even took over the Rambo Franchise music & Universal Studios Logo music. Now So who replaced Goldsmith you ask for 2 Days in the Valley It was Anthony Marinelli and I'm like who in the heck is this Listen to this Cue to hear this official Cue.
That may sound alright to you and others but it's nothing compared to what it was supposed to be. A couple years ago already, I posted a special about the days of Peer-to-Peer Sharing such as Napster, WinMX & BareShare in My Composer Topic. This was My life in the early 2000s. I just loved going online downloading movie scores and trying to see if people had those really rare scores, promos & bootlegs and making My own CDs of them I haven't spoke to anybody outside My Family of this in so long and sadly, it's a major thing of the past like so much is becoming. I'm like doesn't anybody remember these great times It's really sad that there's a lot people out that don't even know what this is If you need a refresher, go to My Composer Topic, I share a ton of stuff about this So, with that being said, back during those super fun days, I believe it was in 2000, 25 years ago this year, I was able to find a complete set of tracks from Jerry Goldsmith's rejected score of 2 Days in the Valley. Oh gosh, I was one happy camper. When I first heard it I'm like wow, listen to that Goldsmith sound then the more and more I listened to it I was like how in the Sam "Freggin" Heck in their right mind could they ever even consider of rejecting him Because of that, the movie is so much lesser than what it should have been as the music always makes the movie. Okay, now listen. I found a suite on YouTube, I've already listen to this several times already because it's so darn sweet & dynamic. I just love the Italian inspired music that the genius that was Goldsmith made here. I love the church bells at 2:33. There's a bit here that sounds like his others scores such as Star Trek: First Contact that he also wrote in 96. I just love the part at 6:24 as it goes really orchestral and then goes darker like his Rambo Trilogy. Listen to this, this is without a shadow of a single doubt one of the best pieces of music that was never appreciated by Hollywood

Wow, I didn't know any of that. I wasn't even sure if you'd heard of 2 Days in the Valley since it wasn't a big film or anything as far as I recall. It just came out in my senior year of high school when I would go to the movies almost every weekend, and that was one of the films I saw that year.
RIP to Mr. Baseball
"Somewhere in a lonely hotel room, there's a guy starting to realize that eternal fate has turned its back on him. It's 2 AM."
Yep, I sure did. You find out a lot when you know & follow Composers and 96 was one heck of a year Ah what shame about Bob Ueker, may he Rest in Peace
Major League had it's 35th Anniversary last year from 1989 and was very good and realistic and Ueker played such a good role there. Here's this main title by Randy Newman (always read the credits from a film, I've been doing that way before the web) which come baseball season i may revisit this
And here's this excellent Cue by James Newton Howard. This was one of his first big scores. This fit the film so well

Oh you better believe Newman did. Don't forget, I posted his music video in My Classic Music Video Topic a while back where you get to see him Also, he composed one of greatest themes in movies ever for the Baseball classic The Natural too
Major League II was great so here's this
