Its not just that the then 67-year-old, past-his-prime-and-looking-it John Wayne was making like Dirty Harry; the cherry on top, the thing that causes McQ to bring about a warm smile from the viewer, is that the filmmakers paired the tough talking septuagenarian with a funky theme song. The main title is just such an ass-kicking theme, complete with some wah-wah guitar, all in the service of introducing the big lug Wayne.
I dont know about you, but seeing Wayne playing a modern day big city cop, beating up on the criminal element, fighting off the advances of chicks who are lusting for him(!?!?!??), partaking in car chases (he drives a Trans Am Firebird 400!), and tossing off the occasional bon mots in his patented speech patterns is what cinema is all about for me.
Lucky for us, Wayne didnt stop with this flick - his next, Brannigan, explored similar territory, with the added bonus that he goes to London(!) to beat up on the limeys.
NOTE: Audiograbber had trouble reading the disc info on this one so the titles of the tracks are wrong or misnumbered; nevertheless this is the complete score.

Just found your blog - some great stuff, thanks a lot!
One request: if you get the chance, do you think you could reup Barry's Until September at a higher bit rate?
Thanks again!
anonymous re: Stardust Memories - I wont be able to re-up this disc immediately because I had borrowed that from someone and returned it before realizing I should use audiograbber, before understanding about higher bit rates etc. Eventually I will re-up this one, but it will eb a small while. sorry.
anonymous re: Until September - this one I can upload (cuz its my disc in this case) and I will do so sometime this weekend. pls stay tuned.
Awesome, mate. Looking forward to it - been after this one for a while. If you need any other Barry's (or anything else for that matter) don't hesitate to ask!
