Goldeneye/Leon

I watched Leon last night. And I thought that the score sounded identical to Goldeneye's. I know the same person scored both films - but bloody hell, almost identical-sounding IMO, and the experience of love is even there! Anyone else notice this?

    That was something I noticed immediately after I saw Leon. GoldenEye does not only have a weak soundtrack, it also has an unoriginal soundtrack. Serra really ripped off EoN.

    One wonders if EON saw Leon, heard the music and thought to themselves, this is what we need to make Bond feel contemporary and relevant? Perhaps they went to Serra and told him to replicate the Leon sound but add in some hints of the Bond theme here and there?

    This GE Archives/Tank chase rescore uses some music from Leon. Fits like a glove. :D

    No but it is one of the few rescores that inspired me to do mine. :)

    Oh, I see. I knew you did rescores so I was just curious, BruceMurdock. May I say a man of many talents? :) -{

    What is the soundtrack to The Fifth Element like? I can't recall...

    I don't mind the soundtrack, I actually think it adds to my appreciation for GE - but knowing that it might be unoriginal (Leon) kinda affects this a bit...

    I have no problem with the GE score because as others have said most of the time it fits the films dark, cold atmosphere like a glove and gives it a unique soundscape.

    One of my least favourite soundtracks - a real missed opportunity IMO. Goldeneye with a Barry or Arnold score would have been incredible.

    I agree. The brilliant score Barry did at that time for The Specialist should have been done for Bond.
