Thank you so much for that rare clip of Eddie 80's rocked, he is brilliant I was watching Trading places yeterday and I agree that those are his best flims. I think Coming to America is brillant and I gets 5 stars.
Thank you for the recomendation StevenHW. You got any links to clips for that movie or anyone for that matter, 'To Live and Die In LA.'

SNL is "Saturday Night Live", an American skit/comedy show which has aired for over 25 years. Alot of comedians and actors got their start on this show. Some from the 80's include - John Belushi, Eddie Murphy, Bill Murray, Gilda Radner, Jane Curtain, Dan Akroyd, Gilbert Gottfried, Billy Crystal, Martin Short, Dana Carvey, Mike Myers...Just to name some. Still a great show today, but not as good as the 80's or even the 90's in my opinion.

They don't make anything like that in England. I have heard of it it now I know what the intials satnd for! Thanks for that 80's rocked. I love Dan Ackroryd and Bill Muray, both have a strange sence of humor. I wonder if it airs on English cable TV?
I suppose most shows aren't like what they used to be. The 90's had some good TV shows as well as the 80's, for example Casualty which I would follow regulary late 80's, early to mid 90's, (the English ER you could say). Now I don't really watch TV much at all, it just seems dull. Maybe its diffrent in America, but hey you can't have it all.
What other links have you got 80's rocked for SNL? What about Dan Ackroyd? Posts: 180 | From: England | Registered: Jun 2008 | Site Updates: 0

Go to youtube.com and search for "SNL" or "Saturday night live" and you will find all kinds of videos. You can also by the old SNL shows on amazon.com... The stuff from the 80s is really something to see.

Hi Guys thanks for all of your help. That show is relly good, so I will be looking out for the vids.
Those clips are really funny 80's rocked thank you for sharing them with us!!! Dan Ackroyd is ace. I really like him in the Blues Brothers which I find a hoot. That scene with the Nun, right at the beginning of the film is brilliant.
Does anyone else like the Beverly Hills cop sound track??? It does have a happy, uplifting vibe to it and the songs are pretty catchy to. The song by Vanity 6 is not on the soundtrack tho, (the song used in the strip club). I managed to get hold of a copy of it on the Girl 6 sound track. Anyone else dig that 'nasty girl' tune?

Does anyone even know where Harold Faltermeyer is these days? He seems to have gone completely off the map after his heyday scoring this and Fletch.

"After Tango & Cash I made a decision to go back and raise my children in Germany, where I was born", Faltermeyer said in a 2006 interview for the Tango & Cash soundtrack CD. From his Red Deer Studios Estate in Munich, Germany, he has continued producing hit records and soundtracks mainly for the German market.
In 2002, he went to Vienna and wrote a musical with Rainhard Fendrich, Wake Up, which played for nearly two years in Vienna's famous Raimund Theater. The following soundtrack CD employed Copy Control technology and features an orchestral ouverture as well as 16 songs.
"But now I think it's time to come back where I started from." Faltermeyer has become re-associated with his Los Angeles agency, Creative Artists Agency, and is looking forward to getting involved again in Hollywood filmscoring. Earlier in 2006, Faltermeyer crafted the in-game soundtrack music for the computer game, Two Worlds.

Thanks for the info on Harold Faltermeyer Nomster. That guy knows how to use synths. I hate that Crazy Frog song where they sampled the Beverly hills cop theme tune..I bet I am not alone there....anyone else agree??
I don't know why they didn't put Vanity 6's 'Nasty girl' on the soundtrack, but perhaps its was because of the lyrics. It is a really good song tho. I really like the Pointer Sisters and I like the scence at the beginning of the film, were the use of thier music helps to make the scene even more energetic - the heat is on!
The theme tune for Beverly Hills cop is quite notorious. I think because of the music (as well as Eddie Murphy) people instantaly know the film. Good soundtracks often help people to remember films/scenes and Beverly hills cop is one of those films that is recgonised world wide because of the sucsses of the theme tune as well as the sucess it made in the box office. I think Top Gun and Dirty Dancing are also examples of this, although the Top Gun sondtrack, (I think) was the most popular ost album to get, even now.

Hey now your takling jdocster04!! I have that soundtrack to!! That song is ace I think they used it for the beginning of the film. I haven't watched it for a while so I could be wrong.
I love The Jets song 'Cross my Broken Heart.' it is played in the back ground on a radio when they are in the bar. Posts: 180 | From: England | Registered: Jun 2008 | Site Updates: 0
