James Horner the actual Pilot in real life, crafted this score with such love of aviation, it shows tremendously

[@ste309w]

This was the first film I saw at the cinema. Bloody loved it. I was then, and still am, a huge aviation nut. I was just as excited as seeing the Gee Bee fly as I was a man with a rocket pack!

[@spooly]

Just showed this movie to my wife, who had never seen it. She loved it. Such a damn good movie. We have the bluray, which looked terrific. Effects hold up.

[@tomcartledge2002]

This is one of those tracks that HAS to be cranked up to enjoy . The bass is thunderous! One of Horner's best action cues.

[@Premonition45]

"How do I look?" "Like a hood ornament."

James,u took me to heaven with this track,the rocketter is the best,and your the best james,heaven gave u a rocket pack.

This might just be the most “James Horner” score Horner ever produced. It’s got the swashbuckling pace of his Star Trek themes, the romantic themes that would inform his later work on Titanic, and percussive drive of his Aliens score. All that, plus some inspired (and goofy!) instrumentation that pares well with the circus-themed cues (is there a banjo and a cowboy jaw-harp in there?). And those orchestral swells are so heroic and really hearken back to the Hollywood’s golden age, making this piece historically appropriate.

[@MrCodyhoskins]

This track so far has been played in a lot of trailers, like Secondhand Lions, The Black Cauldron, James and the Giant Peach, and The Pagemaster. It's truly the best tune to play for adventure-themed material and it really tugs hard at the heart to jump into an adventure.

[@AlexAceves1994]

Oh yeah, Last Action Hero and Josh and S.A.M. Don't forget that.

[@deadairconversion]

You can always tell a Horner score, if it involves a brass section, because the French Horns are always working hard!

[@jasonjansen9831]

tbh every section is working damn hard in this cue 😅

[@deadairconversion]

@@jasonjansen9831 very true

[@creasybear31]

The cue where he drops Malcolm on the tent makes my heart skip a beat!

I love the part that begins at 4:19 it's so joyful!

[@vaderkent3060]

This track is AMAZING!!! Love this movie and the music. Thanks for posting :)

[@sammywestenberger9303]

Don’t Mention It

[@alucard624]

Starting at 1:12, my favorite part of this track. Lift off!!! Also, 1:22. Love that recurring theme there. I play this track when I'm playing the game Dark Void on Xbox 360. It really sets the mood perfectly, because in that game you get to fly around with a rocket pack as well.

[@specspiderken1462]

Awesome! I’ll have to get that game then . Also I listen to this when I read golden age comics

Can you imagine "The Rocketeer" without James Horner's music? I heard Disney is going to remake "The Rocketeer." I won't see it without James Horner's music. Will you?

[@Rylosalex]

Are u serious??? OMG!! I really really hope that they scrap it.... I can't imagine "The Rocketeer" without Billy Campbell and the wonderful and awesome and heart lifting music of James Horner. I just can't.....

[@Rylosalex]

yep I wonder if Fans that grew up with the Rocketeer are going to be taking thier kids along to the movies to go see it when it comes out.

[@Kaymen1980]

They can do what they wan't. I'm not a kid anymore. There is and will forever only be one Rocketeer for me.

[@Rylosalex]

Ditto I wish the classics didn't have to get remade. If they want to show kids the kind of movies that we watched when we were kids, they should show the original movie

[@SSPspaz]

Disney has a knack for ruining franchises, but they keep making remakes/reboots/afterthought sequels because people are stupid enough to keep going to see them. There have been two different Disney reboots/remakes rumored over the years and they both sounded horrible. One project was going to be called "The Rocketeers" in which Cliff Secord goes missing fighting the Nazis and the "Rocketeer" mantle gets passed onto a young African American, teenage female pilot. The other project was supposed to be an animated film/series where I believe Cliff's daughter takes on the mantle of "Rocketeer". Both sound equally awful. Why does Disney feel the need to gender-swap every decent male character, or race-swap every white character? Disney's social agenda is so blatant and disgusting.

[@TankUni]

Definitely bits of Star Trek in there.

[@globalterroil3208]

More than just bits. But in the aggregate a very nice and balanced arrangement fitting the movie beautifully.

[@jamieolberding7731]

Hey you're right!

[@teganbigone2366]

If you love this track you'll want to get Horner's soundtrack to Star Trek II The Wrath of Khan - some of the tracks are nearly identical to this one, but even grander! They also play this track as part of the EPCOT Dancing Fountain at Disney World. Every time I hear it I expect to hear the Enterprise fly into warp.

"... and here to dazzle you with his razor-sharp flying skills, is Cliff Secord, the Fearless Freep' and there he goes!"

[@rielsaigo7247]

I love James Horner, but this is one of his better later soundtracks. A lot of his later stuff seemed kind of cut-and-paste - like he was just re-using stuff from other movies. This one didn't really do that. It all felt very original.

[@kurtdewittphoto]

Movie scores aren't incredible like this anymore. Rarely does anything ever stand out. There are a few exceptions, but scores seem much more downplayed than they use to be. Music can make such a big difference.
