Death Wish

["John C" <blackcountryman@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

So yeah, we all have the soundtrack to Death Wish 2.  But just as I was 
about to retire last night, a quick channel flip reveals Death Wish 3 about 
to start on HBO 3.  While fetching the cat, I see on the screen "MUSIC BY 
JIMMY PAGE".  I was unaware Jimmy was involved, so against better judgement 
I flopped down on the couch to check it out.

DW2 was scored entirely by Jimmy, but this couldn't possibly be the case in 
3, is it?  There are parts with screechy guitars, wild 80s synths, 
definitely some bowing during the harrowing scenes.  But much more of it was 
flat-out awful, generic movie background music.  Does anyone have more info 
on Jimmy's involvement?  If I had to guess I'd say it was minimal, there was 
someone else responsible for most of the music, and wouldn't be surprised if 
they just recycled Jimmy's outtakes from 2 and used them in 3.

By the way, this is one of the greatest unintentionally hilarious movies 
ever.  It's well worth the price of a rental just for the moronic dialogue 
of the cliched multicultural, leather-and-chain clad fruitcake gang.  "They 
killed the Giggler!"  "That was uncalled for".  Check out the listings, HBO 
tends to run the same movies several times each month.
