Jerry Fielding - The Killer Elite (1975)

[@dandiacal]

I LOVED Jerry Fielding's work as a composer. He had a great harmonic style and instrumental color. They don't write like him anymore.

...and i guess the world isn't ready yet for the genius of Jerry Fielding.

[@zerokomma]

Sir, you have spoken very wisely! Thank you again for yer kind words. I am obliged.

[@Jockolantern]

And it's a shame that is true. I've been a Fielding nerd for only the past couple years (though I've been a film score nut for more than a decade) and Fielding's music really took me aback when I first heard it. He's certainly the most criminally neglected film score composer of the Silver Age and was an absolute master of his craft. Nice to see videos like this on KZbin in his honor.

classic edit from way back..great stuff zero...still ranks as one of yer best..lov the score

[@zerokomma]

@SteveTheMovieGuy1 ....thanks again for the encouraging comments mate.....this one was pretty tough to edit, keeping the pace, choreography and the peckinpah editing style intact...g;lad you liked it. Cool to know someone out there knows his way around great movies...kudos to u sir.

[@zerokomma]

Tried to mimic Peckinpah's editing style by chopping up the film completely. Don't know if it worked. Hard to keep some sense of rhythm with this one. Glad you liked it.Thank you.

Amazing montage! I've loved this movie since the 70s and you put together some of my favorite shots. Excellent editing!

[@brianvail1507]

[@82259317]

your selection is just perfect!!!

Theanks for the soundtrack renewal on this fantastic score

[@Soundtrackcollector]

Outstanding George ...very well done!

[@SteveTheMovieGuy1]

Been enjoying your videos this evening, sir. hats off, I would have thought it nigh on impossible to edit Peckinpah, who was so spot on with his own work, but you've taken this movie and made it work to Fielding's brilliant score even better than he did. If you're not already, you ought to be doing this for a living. Seriously.

[@biffmercury]

I thought this was an actual trailer for the film. I know it makes me want to watch it again.

[@zerokomma]

Thank you. Glad u like them.

[@zerokomma]

Thanks buddy. Freezes are done with gradient maps in Sony Vegas with a few touches here and there in Photoshop.

I remember just knowing jerry Fielding from the Grey Lady Down Soundtrack and always thinkin that he was so unique. Then one day i got a copy of the Killer Elite and during the first 30 seconds thinking that sounds like grey lady and off to IMDB.. yes it is him.

[@zerokomma]

Thank you

[@sinbad0910]

yeah love the score too!

[@zerokomma]

...cause you're a man of style!

[@zerokomma]

thankyou.

[@zerokomma]

thanks friend!

[@sinbad0910]

Pelham has been toppled, I have a new favourite Zerokomma vid, only 1500 views? thats ridiculous!

[@zerokomma]

Merci for the good comment.

[@zerokomma]

Agree completely.

[@zerokomma]

...merci bud

[@eugenebuckley5820]

I dedicate this to a Tough Rider Hill

[@BryanColebrook]

This Trailer Looks Really Good, If Jason Messes Up The Remake, It Would Be A Crying Shame!!
