48 hrs theme

[@edkeaton1085]

Great opening theme from the late, great James Horner. RIP.

[@HealthHorror]

48 Hours, Red Heat, and Commando are 3 of the best scores ever. All by Horner.

[@mikeowen7526]

That bass line and the heavy rock sound is perfect for the film and the way the film opens with the backdrop and the horses moving to the roadgang is priceless I don't think it could ever be remade or bettered Mind with Walter Hill Nick Nolte and Eddie Murphy on board its no surprise its legendary 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@gernam7241]

Badass 80s soundtracks

[@kpkwrtr]

Simply one of the best scores of that era. Not too hard to see why so much of the score for "Lethal Weapon" was approached in a similar fashion. Of course, the argument can also be made that if not for this film paving the way for the genre, there might not have been a "Lethal Weapon" film at all, let alone the increasingly silly franchise that was spawned. Lol.

[@dantesalerno3254]

What an awesome theme

[@Mrtinkyloo]

"What's happenin', Luther. I'm real sorry about the car door slamming into you so hard."

[@ericwilliams1575]

Reggie: LUTHER, I'M TALKING TO YOU, LUTHER, LUTHER?! Jack: HAMMOND, DROP THAT DAMN GUN!!!

[@basedlogic9955]

Eddie has had some amazing music for his movies. This theme and Axel F. are two of the best theme songs of the 80's, if not all-time. Eddie Murphy is the G.O.A.T

Do it it’s fun. I’ve never done it in a sky blue piece of junk caddy though lol.

[@kevincockburn7805]

This tune, the first 2 minutes or so, just hard hitting. For a "buddy cop" movie, this film still packs a punch that films today just are unable to replicate. Now we get the rock and Kevin Hart, and it just comes across as goofy.

[@HakmanTim]

it's because kevin hart is more of a comedian than he is an actor

[@philippe_1984]

Well Kevin heart and the rock are supposed to be goofy in those

[@kevincockburn7805]

@@kennypowers1945 point still stands the movie companies, don't make adult action films anymore. They just make goofy nonsense. They treat the audience as if it has not matured past the age of 14.

I agree.

[@Lonewolf_665]

Same composer dummy

[@positivevibez73]

@@Lonewolf_665 Not so dum. A composer of this calibre should know how to keep his work original.

[@stevem2323]

@@positivevibez73 It's still original to me, it's his stuff.

[@cinnamonbabkaha]

@Karim Haynes Same composer, some same instruments, different arrangements. Also, 48Hrs. (1982) was released before Commando (1985), so if anything was "recycled", it was the score from Commando, not this.

[@jasonpaul7932]

Does anyone else start thinking of the 1985 film Commando when this is on?

[@horrorfanandy4647]

Same composer. Same use of steel drums throughout the soundtrack. I love Horner’s music but the guy did recycle a lot of his motifs throughout his various scores. But I love that 48 HRS, Commando and Red Heat have this musical continuity between them, so I don’t really mind that they’re very similar scores.

In fact, if you watch the movie, the cop character played by Nick Nolte explains the reason of these racist slurs and why he uses them. The movie is self aware of how armful they are. Great movie.
