Roy Scheider & Tangerine Dream - Sorcerer

[@sillyone52062]

I owned the Sorcerer soundtrack for years before buying the film on DVD. I loved Tangerine Dream and the CD was in the bargain bin. It did not prepare me for the movie!

[@madahad9]

I unfortunately didn't get to see Sorcerer when it was in theatres and caught it when it played on a cable movie channel. I loved it. It would be decades later that I had the opportunity to see Wages of Fear and finally compare the two films. They were unique in their own way and I couldn't say that one was better than other. However the truck crossing that crumbling bridge is still the highlight of the Friedkin remake. It's a shame that it failed to get the appreciation it deserves. I don't understand why the public rejected it; it's a tense action film.

[@fliegeroh]

Stumbled on this film years ago on Netflix having never heard of it. Once in awhile you just pick a gem and are pleasantly surprised. This film is a classic. One of my favorite movies of all time. It is truly a GREAT movie.

[@picklerix6162]

I remember seeing the Tangerine Dream “Sorcerer” album in the record stores and my friend told me about the movie. I did finally get to see the movie. All I can say is Roy Scheider made some great, unforgettable movies. Rest In Peace Roy.

[@bozzutoman]

Awwww yeah! I absolutely love Sorcerer. I saw it when I was 11 back in the 70s. It set the foundation for my love of powerfully dramatic films.

[@davidellis5141]

A terrific film released the same week as 🌟 Wars ! A must 👀 !

[@antares9999]

What a brilliant, wonderful gem. God bless you Roy. Cheers to the hope that more people see this fantastic movie.

[@goodoldrebel8]

One of the greatest films of all time.Still as fresh as when I first saw it 30 something years ago.

[@glennoxborough3818]

This is a fine tribute to Roy Scheider. Fantastic film, fantastic soundtrack

[@fredericsalgado2025]

40th Anniversary of this movie with a stunning soundtrack that will stay with you. This movie was based on foreign film but did not have this haunting score.

[@StillLateToTheParty]

Haven't seen this yet, but want to see it! Love 70s realism. No stylized action. No colored lights. Just grit.

[@godfreecharlie]

This is a tribute to Roy Scheider who stars in this movie. Its a remake of a French film entitled " Wages of Fear ". " Betrayal " is a fitting name for this piece considering what transpires on the film. Friedkin used Scheider in his Hollywood productions like " French Connection" to add balance to the cast. To bad he is gone.

[@DetroitLove4U]

As a child in the 80's I grew up associating Roy Scheider with no other film than JAWS. But Scheider was one of my favorite actors. He starred in films when movie cinema was so original & this film, The Sorcerer, is certainly no exception. I've strongly been much remiss on Scheider's passing but his cinema domain for if none other but me alone still persists on he surely is a true cinema masterpiece to whom of which I shall never let fade. Thanks for the memories Roy! Your movies keep me young!

[@JeffCzaplaMyers777]

One of my favourites. Amazing soundtrack too.

[@NOSLEEPATALL]

Saw this movie on VHS way back when but forgot the name when I wanted to see it again in the age of DVD's. Still has me on edge of seat watching the rope bridge crossing!

[@Tiebor12]

they don't make great movies like this anymore...damn shame...great actor Mr Schneider..God rest his soul

[@zerokomma]

Thank you sir....definitely an underrated classic.

[@chakani0001]

"Sorcerer" is a haunting, gripping, extraordinary piece of music. I loved the film. It is indeed underrated.

[@jasonspringstube54]

Very nice tribute put together zerokomma. R.I.P. Roy and Edgar. You both were inspirations to the film and music industry and your hard work will always live on.

[@Diogenes1360]

Can't believe this movie is not shown more often.

[@swordsman466]

Saw it when I was about 12 and it has stuck with me. Im 44 and still can remember flashes of this movie

[@fredo1070]

I wish I found this channel earlier, better late than never.

[@blameline]

Excellent film, excellent score, Sorcerer was one of the best of the decade.

[@zerokomma]

Thank you. Roy gave a great performance and especially in this film his rugged face expresses as much as the landscape Sorcerer was shot in. Brilliant actor with great charisma and one of the coolest guys ever. Exactly....Long live Roy!

[@DonAlex63]

Very well done! One of my favorite films ever.

[@MrChristian326]

Thank you Mr. Zerokomma for posting a great tribute to my favorite actor, Roy Schieder. This film is on one of my top lists! The haunting soundtrack of Tangerine Dream is fitting. (I'm a big fan of TD). Over all - great performance!

[@GLHouse]

Beautiful movie awesome people REST in peace ROY S

[@Mystic0157]

I saw it twice in '79 before I ever left the theatre. Captivated by it ever since.

[@pauljamesharper]

These guys act just using their eyes. Nothing like it since the Sergio Leone Westerns.

[@timsnel123]

Well said!

[@jackiescanlon]

It breaks my heart that this movie bombed at the box office but at the same time I like the feeling of being part of a small but passionate group of people who truly love this movie! Well done!

[@undreadSP]

caught "Sorcerer" randomly on cable while on vacation in Florida, Aug 1980...captivating! then in the 90s in SF they had a showing when Friedkin came in town; at a nearby theater they ran "Wages of Fear" the same day, different time, saw both on the big screen...amazing! nice clip, sir!

[@douglas787]

Very overlooked film. Saw this when I was about 9 on HBO and I still love this movie today. When I mention it to any of my friends they say they never heard of it. I recommend it all the time.

[@GuillaumeVanGessel]

fantastic brings back the good old days fromT.D. many thanks for this masterproduct

[@friedkin]

As a lifelong fan of William Friedkin, it is truly great to see that so many of you appreciate this wonderful film! To Zerokomma: you did a truly tremendous job for this tribute clip!! I salute you! For those who are interested, Friedkin's "The Exorcist" is being released on Blu-Ray on Oct.5th; he has indicated that, in fact, he is considering giving both "Sorcerer" and "Cruising" the Blu-Ray treatment in the near future, although no official dates have been set.

[@ThoughtTraveler]

IT is a CRIME that this movie and soundtrack have not been re released in the format that is befitting this masterpiece!!!

[@atarumoroboshi1975]

The best remake of ever! Great Roy! Unforgettable!

[@dmljm2]

Excellent movie, i went to see this back in 1978 and it's Fantastic ! Roy's Fantastic

[@Valdez244]

I've seen ''Wages of Fear'', but I've still to catch Friedkin's remake. Knowing Scheider's track record, I know that I'm in for a treat! Excellent presentation G. :)

[@zerokomma]

...definitely check it out bud, real masterpiece. The tension in this Friedkin epic is unbearable.

[@juanaltredo2974]

its better than the very badly aged french original, which has a great second half but the first half is incredibly poor

[@ZINCOVIX8754]

Hope all is good in 2020 buddy.Amazing to come back and see these truly original and masterful edits.Hail to the king.

[@darkprose]

So glad someone else sees this film as what it is and always has been -- a masterpiece! Lovely video, very nice, thank you. I have just shown a group of friends this film and it properly thrilled them. This film needs to be restored and reunited with Friedkin's two previous films as the classic it deserves to be.

[@SaltTheFries86]

I found an awesome blogspot solely dedicated to Sorcerer, and thanks to it for example I came across very awesome and positive review from 1979 by some female critic who preferred Sorcerer to both the original novel and Clouzot's version! Long live the Sorcerer!

[@SaltTheFries86]

I've seen this movie today very early morning and now I'm obssessed like a maniac about it. As if the Sorcerer has cast a very powerful charm spell on me. Ever since I stumbled upon it to expand Friedkin's filmography and after my friend highly recommended it I wanted to see it badly, and it didn't dissapoint one bit. The movie has very German feel to it, especially Herzog's. Wonderful tribute by the way. I'm glad so many people call it now a masterpiece or one of their fav movies of all time!

[@ZINCOVIX8754]

Astonishing how this video just get's better and better.Brilliant edit Sir King Zero.Tangerine Dream, Roy Scheider and the finesse of the Komma's cut.Perfect.

[@zerokomma]

Thanks mate...bluray coming out from Maestro Friedkin due April, stay tuned. Cheers brother

[@ZINCOVIX8754]

zerokomma Great news bud.Simply brilliant.

[@fuzzyrat123]

Could you imagine Hollywood trying to remake this film today?

[@zenjon7892]

Two things: 1) Roy Scheider's face at 0:15 is what I feel like when I take physics tests; 2) I think they used real dynamite to blow up the roadblock tree because it actually detonates like dynamite and not Hollywood pyrotechnics

[@jjd8651]

They actually used nitroglycerin ... not for the first scene where the guy drips it off his fingers, though...lol, but for the sorcerer truck explosion and the tree they did... " In its pure form, nitroglycerin is a contact explosive, with physical shock causing it to explode, and it degrades over time to even more unstable forms. This makes nitroglycerin highly dangerous to transport or use. In its undiluted form, it is one of the world's most powerful explosives, comparable to the more recently developed RDX and PETN." Sounds like it would be fun to get Trump to brush his teeth with this stuff...

[@willywarlock740]

Brilliant movie. I think I will watch it tonight

[@Sash77....oldmanradic]

hey me too. saw this film around 79 - 80 as a 3 or 4 year old on TV. Was haunted by certain scenes (trucks, truck over bridge, blowing up tree, dynamite). As i grew older i searched for the film but never found it. I searched everywhere. Up until about 5 or 6 years ago i'd totally forgotten about it. One day while looking at a poster displaying classic movies i saw a pic of the truck crossing the bridge and i knew it was it. I can't explain how much it means to me to find this film.

[@DippBlue]

yeah zero, thanks for your reply; I was just a little kid when I saw this movie for the first time (79 or 80?), and It got stuck in my head, especially the part when they blow up the tree and of course the bridge part. You did a great job with this tribute. I hope they will bring this movie back for new generations to see (in theathers) because these kinds of movies you do not get to see these days. DB.

[@Beelzebub2619]

G-E-E-Z, I saw this when it first came out, so long ago, that I forgot Tangerine Dream played the music...!! Put together VERY NICELY...!! Tangerine Dream is great, and so was Roy..!!

[@BEFinAR]

I saw this at the theater when it came out. I recall it was very intense, but what I really remembered from it was the great music.

[@zerokomma]

thank you...Sorecerer is indeed a masterpiece, hope more people get to see it and yes , you are right...its very Herzogian in a way. Hope the Werner does a retelling of this timeless story.

[@rikk7041]

R.I.P. Edgar Froese (Tangerine Dream)

[@agnernai]

The surroundings truly transported the story to a distant planet.. Tangerine Dream was basically giving Friedkin the best of their recent tours.

[@buddysimms]

one of my favorite all time movies ... only friedken could make a film like this... schieder is fantastic and the music is awesome.... the very ending when the guys come for him in the diner and that haunting music starts ,, gives me chills

[@ZINCOVIX8754]

it does not get any better than this roy and zero,a perfect match..great stuff..seems like yesterday when my brain exploded watching this

[@JamesTKirkCobain]

This movie is so freakin great. I must have watched it a billion times. It's like being sucked into another world. Seriously, I watch it and I forget who and where I am, it just completely hypnotizes me. My favorite part is when they get stuck by the fallen tree and they have to blow it up.

[@joecole1551]

nice tribute video for Roy well put together great sound track and visuals .

[@zerokomma]

Thanks chief, appreciated :)

[@tehf00n]

this will be tonight's movie. Thank you.

[@Boogenhagen100]

crazy to think that Tangerine Dream created this score using only a copy of the script. 2 heartbreaking moments in this movie "sorcerer" goes over the cliff and explodes, "spider" spinell showing up at the end and walking into the bar.

[@HerculesTAK]

@topeconqueso Let's not forget the "7 Ups". One of the best car chase scenes ever and Roy got to play the "tough cop" this time. Definitely one of the best actors of his time. And this is a film I almost forgot about and just remembered how good it was seeing it, for the first time, to this music. Two thumbs way up!

[@zerokomma]

Masterpiece! Roy rules!

This was also used in Turkish drama "Nefret" (Hate/Rage) great upload

[@donnieandsarah]

i saw this on HBO as a kid in the 70's. I loved the music, but never knew who played it. Then I found the soundtrack and have been a Tangerine Dream ever since.

[@zerokomma]

Thanks bud, glad you liked it. One of the criminally neglected masterpieces of the seventies.

[@hulchris]

I missed you so much my dear talented friend ….hope that you have a great company wherever you’re…..

[@zerokomma]

Mr. Tortellini, your a man of class and impeccable style. Merci for the comment!

[@DetroitLove4U]

This was an explosive movie!!!

[@zerokomma]

Sir, you're a man of style and wisdom! Agreed 100%. Kudos! Would love to see werner herzog attempting to remake Sorcerer...such a timeless story resrved for the best directors only

[@TheRealNormanBates]

PS: _love_ that edit/transition at 1:33

[@RamBam3000]

I remember seeing the original version of this at school. Our French teacher was going through a phase of screening these old French movies. (Also saw "Les Quatre-Cent Coups", but that's neither here no there. . . ) It was a terrific movie, really my style of thing - these desperate men transporting nitroglycerine on their trucks to blow out a fire. Great story. PS: RIP Roy Scheider. You are missed, man.

[@Taengren]

(continued) . . . and MUSIC !!! Just fantastic. Some people may think Sorcerer doesn't stand up to today’s super action movies, but all action and no subtlety is not what makes a movie great. Which Sorcerer is. And so are Scheider and TD. The original Wages of Fear was made in a different era, when movies were coming of age, and Sorcerer is one of those rare examples when a remake is actually better than the original. Thanks for the clip zerokomma.

[@Banner1979]

Looks great. I think over here in the UK, it was only shown twice on TV.

[@4tom2u]

Brilliant actor and movie too!

[@dreckfirmada]

one of the best and my favourite movies. roy scheider at its best. music by tangerine dream (german band) is excellent aaswell. 11 of 10

[@keesvangelis]

great track i have not seen the movie so thanks for sharing

[@ayianapia]

The soundtrack gives this adventure movie a kind of surreal atmosphere .

[@Gasteraner]

Gern geschehen! Ich habe zu danken! Schönes Wochenende Gruß Alexander

[@frtw4428]

The trucks are the "stars" of the show, especially the one with the creepy-looking front end! Overall, a great movie with some of the most suspenseful scenes ever filmed. This is one movie which certainly deserves a lot more attention than it received when it was first released.

[@DippBlue]

F*UCK*&ING MASTERPIECES!; both the movie and the music. Thank you Mr. Friedkin and thank you Tangerine Dream. These two masterpieces were meant to be together as a whole. Thank you also Zerocomma for this awesome tribute to Mr. Roy Scheider. DippBlue

[@bigrobtheactor]

Great job. RIP. Amen.

[@GennaroGiugliano]

Wonderful music and film

[@zerokomma]

Roy rules!Cheers to you as well

[@dreckfirmada]

one of the best and my favourite movies. roy scheider at its best. music by tangerine dream (german band) is excellent aaswell. the u.s. dvd is available on universal pictures. a german dvd is not available yet, but i got a tv rip in good quality. 11 of 10

[@Gasteraner]

Thanks so much for putting this to yt ! Great film- incredible, that the trucks didn t get off the wodden bridge Take care

[@ecbalko]

I saw the movie when it first came out. I recognized the New Jersey locations right away.

[@TheNellah]

Great movie ... great music!

[@PRE1959]

Your Right! The grille looks like the aztec demon face in the movie, and also has only one headlight. Like a one eyed cyclops. The trucks name was actually "Sorcerer". I only discovered this movie for the first time a week ago, and loved it, and was fascinated by it.

[@gssrulez]

Underrated masterpiece...Friedkin should have hired you for the editing antiparedrrr...you are the dude

[@zerokomma]

...exactly....and thanks for the kudos..

[@soviethammer]

you can actually feel the tension and fear while watching this movie

[@sganassaboys]

Is a classic "2 breaths movie"; one at the beginning and one at the end. Masterpiece

[@SaltTheFries86]

It's no longer there, the guy took it down as he contacted Friedkin himself and that footage is going to make it to Sorcerer blu-ray/DVD coming out next spring. I thought about downloading it because I had a hunch it'd be taken down but I didn't do it, so no only the original uploader has it.

[@sinbad0910]

Mesmerizing, watched this a few a weeks ago but missed some of the finer details, due to crap laptop speakers. Superb!

[@zerokomma]

Completely agree on your examples, both Blade Runner and Under Fire being two of my personal favourites. Different times back then when music did not simply accompany the film in terms of rhythm or style with flashy Dolby Effects but functioned as a character contemplating on the films drama and mood. Goldsmith's Alien"comes in mind as a perfect example.

[@soviethammer]

Great movie

[@WagnerDisaster]

Friedkin himself said that he first time heard Tangerine Dream on the opening of "The Exorcist" in Munich, and that he would ask them to make music for that film if he knew of them earlier. I think that that would be strong combination.

[@zerokomma]

@DippBlue ...saw it as a kid too, around the same time as u did and it haunted me since then. Fantastic film...heard the BluRay will be the unedited version supervised by maestro Friedkin...lets cross fingers.

[@fridgetmidget012]

not been made available on mobiles. great

[@VOIDMK20]

Great actor,great music

[@SaltTheFries86]

I've come to the conclusion that Sorcerer masterfully combines not only the naturalism of Herzog, but also the bleak, uncompromised nihilism of Peckinpah with a distinctive perversity of fate a'la Bunuel. It is fully a post-modern work of art that is very avantgarde and self-aware despite being inserted - at the surface structure - into a body of very enjoyable and spectacular adventure movie.

[@shihanUKS]

I first saw him in the seven ups and the french connection but didnt follow him till after jaws. He had a presence you cant fake as an actor. The camera loved him.
