LETHAL WEAPON: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack is a soundtrack album of the 1987 film Lethal Weapon. It is performed and composed by Michael Kamen, Eric Clapton and David Sanborn, with the title track performed by Honeymoon Suite, was originally released on audio cassette and CD on March 31, 1987. The score features a blend of orchestral music, jazz and smooth rock. In April 2002 a Limited Edition Score of 3,000 numbered copies was released. This release featured several unreleased tracks, including the cue from the famous "Hollywood Blvd. Chase" sequence (a recurring cue in both Lethal Weapon 2 and 3). CD limited-edition set from Bacchus Media Group, Inc. (only 3000 copies) featuring the scores for all four "Lethal Weapon" films. In addition to hours of previously unreleased tracks, the disc include songs form the likes of classic music and more.
It was yet another buddy cop movie. Pairing up the reckless, suicidal cop with the more seasoned and straight-edged cop seemed like a good way to bust a large-scale drug smuggling operation. Lethal Weapon, directed by Richard Donner and produced by Joel Silver, ended up becoming a smash hit spawning three sequels. The music by composed Michael Kamen, with performances by Eric Clapton and David Sandborn was released as a 30-minute long album back when the film came out, and never made it to CD. The numerous bootlegs that have shown up since that time have just contained the contents of the LP, with nothing new. Now, however, Michael Kamen has released a limited edition official soundtrack release (not a promo, not a bootleg), containing over an hour of music.Beginning with the David Sandborn's soulful saxophone wailing out in "Meet Martin Riggs," Eric Clapton's guitar soon joins in, and the resulting cue is a slightly melancholy one, underscoring the inner turmoil that Riggs (Mel Gibson) is going through - the loss of his wife has nearly driven him to suicide. The film opens with "Amanda," a dramatic suicide underscored by ominous strings and sleigh bell percussion. "Suicide Attempt" is a rehash, in a way, of "Meet Martin Riggs," but with more tension at the beginning as he nearly kills himself before the grief overcomes him. "The Jumper / Rog & Riggs Confrontation" is a six-minute long cue tense cue that never uses the full orchestra, but gives a splash of saxophone and guitar to add color to the anxiety. "Coke Deal" brings in the over-the-top drama a little more, with bigger use of the orchestra. There are plenty of moments on this album where you can hear hints of Kamen's next big action score, Die Hard. "Mr. Joshua" and "They Got My Daughter" feel as though they blend together into one cue, with more of the wailing guitars and saxophones with orchestral backing. However, things start to pick up again with "The Desert," a lengthy cue underscoring one impressive action sequence in the film. That is soon followed by one of the more sought-after cues from the score, "Hollywood Blvd Chase." With Riggs running through the streets of Hollywood, the orchestra is right there with him, and the bombastic driving action of the cue never seems to let up.... If you're a fan of Michael Kamen's work, or even just a fan of the film, then this album is for you. If you're a fan of Eric Clapton, he has some great guitar playing on this disc.
