By skyforbes Watching 48 Hrs today and it hit me that the soundtrack sounded almost the same as Commando, which is my favorite movie of all time. Looked it up and James Horner was composer for both movies.
Then there was a really funny similarity. There is a scene in both movies that uses the same music where the good guys are tailing a bad guy (played by David Patrick Kelly in both movies) and the chase ends in a really crowded place (mall in Commando, subway in 48 hrs.)
Then I found the same guy wrote both movies. I guess that makes sense.
