The main title music starts at about the one minute mark. I concur that Skyjacked is a pretty good score. As i said, he scored over 2 dozen films and there were others i liked as well. Goin South, was not your typical western score, like The long riders It tried to be innovator and different from the norm. They kill only their masters, i thought was another good score, more laidback then Skyjacked, but also had a good theme as well. Skyjacked was a good action score and a very nice main theme which was sung back then by a few pop singers. Have you heard any of these? Any recommendations? Very nice score, i agree, however MR Botkin was active in film scoring in the 70' 80's and beyond, he scored about 2 dozen films, good scores like Bless the beast and the children,Skyjacked, They only killed their masters, Goin south etc etc.
The orchestrations here really are inspired and lovely, creating a perfect 'jungle-like' ambiance a la John Scott's 'Greystoke'. This is a really, really impressive effort and I'm amazed it's never been mentioned around here, that I could find. Here's a link to the last few minutes of the film, including the awesome and extended end title suite (try to ignore the fact that it plays out over footage of a topless Bo Derek wrestling w/ a primate).
Crying shame, because if this score is any indication he has a wonderful and very unique symphonic voice. One thing I had absolutely not been prepared for at all was Perry Botkin's wonderful, brilliantly-orchestrated and romantic score! I'd never even ehard of the composer, and doing a little research it appears he is best-known for his electronic, non-filmmusic compositions. Had heard terrible things about it for years, and indeed it was bad - in a fun way though mostly.
TARZAN THE APE MAN 1981 PELISPEDIA MOVIE
Just caught this wretched movie the other night. General Discussion: Perry Botkin - Tarzan, The Ape Man (1981) Unless you want to compile a list of the worst films ever.FSM Board: Perry Botkin - Tarzan, The Ape Man (1981) The worst moment of all is the dreary slow-motion snake wrestling sequence. The characters moving around in front of the scenery are so banal and idiotic that the film fails on every level. The backdrop is nicely photographed, but then again anyone can design a nice postcard. Richard Harris's performance is energetic and entertaining, but why he bothered to put in such a lively performance is anybody's guess. O'Keefe is unquestionably the worst Tarzan ever, and Derek is probably the worst Jane. During a jungle expedition, she goes missing and is rescued by ape man Tarzan (Miles O'Keefe), only to fall in love with him. The story focuses more on Jane (the talentless Bo Derek), who arrives in Africa to reunite with her tyrannical, boozy, abusive father (Richard Harris). yes! This movie really is right down there with the worst twenty or so films ever made. Can it really surpass Plan 9 From Outer Space? Is it as idiotic as Astro Zombies? Is it as boring as The Bible.in the Beginning? Is it as unintentionally funny as The Swarm? The answer is. The main element of fun is experiencing just how bad it really is. So, just how bad is the 1981 version of Tarzan the Ape Man? Everybody knows that it has a reputation as one of the very worst movies ever made, so when you sit down to watch it, you know it's going to be rubbish.
