Fighting Talk

I have been on a massive soundtrack binge recently. If OST's where heroin I would be dead in KFC in Blackburn with caffeine and sweetner pissing out all my openings. But thankfully they are not. So I got listening to a selection and realised taht they don't make music like this anymore, do they? Films nowadays are all about some shit nu-metal/rock/mosher music that is bought onto the soundtrack. With a few exceptions its all shit mosher music now. Back in the day when I was a kid and I watched films it was always ace seeing montage/pump-up/getting amped sections in films.
So here are some of my favourites I remember....

Can't find the actual end credits for this song/film but this one does a better job I think. Everyone remembers this. Arnie taking on this whole army single handedly.
Commando - Power Station - We Fight For Love
"I don't need the knife John"


Now a film that loads of folk have seen but most forget. Its a cracker, Stallone, big trucks, arm-wrestling everything you could want.
Over The Top - Sammy Hager - Winner Takes It All


YES, every kid loved this. If they said they didn't then they are a fooking liar.
Karate Kid - Joe Esposita - Your The Best (Around)


Stallone's second entry! Rocky had the market cornered when it came to 80's pump-up montages. Its always hard choosing one, this is probaly my favourite.
Rocky IV - Robert Tepper - No Easy Way Out


And finally this used to be the best part of California Man back in 92. Infectious Grooves! A High School Prom! and then that ace thing where everyone starts dancing together. Sweet. Brendan Frasiers best film in my eyes.
California Man - Infectious Grooves - Feed The Monkey.


YES!
Feel free to let me know if anyone thinks of some more.
Fuck off.
