disco song question
does anyone know the name of the song that is playing at the club when wulfgar meets the brunette and pours her champange??? thanks for your help...
shareIt's unfoundabe!By watching in the end titles,if I remember and don't mistake, it should be SAOCO but I don't know if it's the right title and I've never been able to find it somewhere
ok..thanks for your help...i appreciate it...
shareThis song should be performed by a music group named LIBRE but in the end titles it often happens that songs' names are hardly read because of small letters
shareRegarding the second disco scence where DaSilva (Stallone) spots Wulfgar (Hauer) dancing with another women: did any one notice that the soundtrack has changed? I watched the movie on Cinemax HD, and the soundtrack used to have "Brown Sugar" by the Stones and "I'm a Man" by Keith Emerson during the time DaSilva makes the terrorist. Now it has been replaced by some generic guitar riffs. I wonder why the change? The original song soundtrack was much better suited to the mood of the situation, now has been made anti-climatic by more subdued music not indicative of the time period. Why the remake?
shareClearance rights to the two songs had probably elapsed. The cost to reobtain the rights to the two songs is likely costly at this point, which would explain why later video, TV, and DVD releases contain alternate songs. I am still not sure how Goodtimes Home Video were able to release the film on DVD a few years back with the original songs intact.

I am SO glad to hear this! I will try to find that release; that scene is nowhere NEAR as powerful without the original music. Thanks!

If Sheridan were here he'd be appalled... share
Holy mackerel -- for me, that scene almost literally MADE the movie. The quasi-organ-synth notes from Emerson's take on "I'm A Man", as the camera alternates between slowly tightening shots of Deke and Wulfgar's faces; the way that the song playing in the "reality" of the disco was timed to coincide perfectly with the fictional drama playing out on the screen -- I've never forgotten it. Bought the DVD in question some time ago and would have gone *ballistic* if the music had been changed.
shareI completely agree,that song fits the scene a lot,it's a perfect music for that moment and the single notes before the shooting is logical,I think the different version of this movie who contains other songs instead of the original ones gets worse a lot!and the movie loses his charm!

Just saw NIGHTHAWKS on the BOUNCE channel and really enjoyed it, because it was just what I expected from an early '80's action drama thriller,it was tough,uncompromising and it kicked a**. Plus Sly looked pretty good in his full beard and that black suit he wore while chasing the terrorist down! And it played both "Brown Sugar" and "I'm a Man"---two of my favorite rock 'n roll songs,especially the last one,even though I prefer the Steve Winwood original. I wondered if the reason this film isn't shown that much is due to the music rights issues. I'd actually pick this film up if I caught it a store somewhere---it's that good, plus I love me some '70's and early '80's action thrillers.
About that scene---I was trying to figure out what the hell the song was saying then I recognized it as a version of "I'm a Man" I'd never heard before. But,yeah, that song was an interesting choice because its off-kilter chords did add to the tension of that scene. I didn't understand why the hell the cop made it plain that he was looking at the suspect----I thought, why the hell would he give himself away to begin with? Another poster already explained why, so I figure that was just done to start some drama in the movie,that's all.
I just watched it on Cable tv (NYC) and it used Brown Sugar.
shareI just watched "Nighthawks" today and I heard "Street Fighting Man" by the Stones. No, wait. It must have been the other movie I watched today, "V for Vendetta". Great song, outstanding movie.
Not sure about the disco song in question. It went something like "Let's get together now...", but the version of "Nighthawks" I saw definitely had "Brown Sugar" and an instrumental dance version of "I'm a Man". "Brown Sugar" has always been a favorite song of mine ever since I first heard it around the age of six or seven. Never been a big fan of the band, but I do like a lot of their songs.
I have the VHS of Nighthawks and Brown Sugar and I'm a Man are gone. Until I saw this thread I thought I was crazy for thinking those songs were supposed to be there. I hadn't seen it since I was a kid and it was on Cinemax.
