Remember the warning of this forum: "You can discuss music here, but if your taste sucks, you'll probably be modded." Well, this might be the time to enforce it.

This thread has no real point other than I want to profess to the whole internet something I just realized.

I bought the soundtrack of Last Action Hero, because I figured it would have one cue on it. It's the music cue where

*SPOILERS* Almost forgot...

Arnold comes out of Jack Slater IV and chases after Benedict. While he's running on the New York street after the cab Red Eye escaped in, there's a mad guitar riff playing.

I figured it would appear on the soundtrack, because it sounded too hardcore for Kamen. So I picked up the CD for exactly $7 at a used CD shop. Alas, I didn't find the awesome guitar riff. Oh well, wasn't the first time I bought the wrong CD (Speed)... or maybe some stupid record producer didn't release the cue.

Thanks to a Queensrÿche reference in the Bad Dudes article, I had to listen to only song of theirs I own: "Real World" on LAH. It's a pretty craptastic song which sounds like a cross between country rock and Yanni. But, I left the song playing while I finished rereading the article. Then... at 3:05, farther than I've ever made it through the song before, the tempo changes completely. And, if you couldn't tell, some mad 80s-style guitar wailing started belting out. IT 'S THE CUE I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR!! Apparently, only the last minute of the song is worth listening to. Who knew? Thank you, Syd, for making me relisten to their song!

Get ready for an addition 80s workout tape, you're about to get Queensrÿche-d!

*LAH was released in '93.

And the segue where Arnold first enters the real world is from the beginning of the song.

I actually like Queensrÿche a lot.Their stuff off Operation: Mindcrime and Empire is way better though.

It's also got Megadeth. And AC/DC's Big Guns, which has a crazy video with Arnold Schwarzenegger.
