While I was searching for the this particular piece of composition I was wondering how much of what makes the 007 franchise great is actually the music and soundtrack. I think the answer is, at least, more then a little.

For sure..a master at work.i fun love it.

Me too.

If you liked OHMSS, and Space March themes try something left field; the Propeller Heads did a version of this - it's a totally different type of music, but it stands up so well because of the quality of the originals.

Fantastic choice of words for this piece!

is that a pun there since this was an inspiration for the Incredibles​?

Let's not forget Black Hole. The man was a legend.

That scene turned my stomach too and I watched it on my PC in 2016 after my eyes were polluted with too much CGI from other movies, surely this is a timeless classic.

You talking about YOLT?

Lyri Metacurl I think they are indeed, Miss Moneypenny.

I actually came here from there

exactly what I thought the first time I watched Incredibles and that scene started. Such a beautiful homage.

@@VanlockFR Yes I think he drew a lot of inspiration from John Barry and the James Bond scores he did.

I knew the "Kronos Unveiled" score drew heavily from Mr. Barry's "Space March". Beautiful, lush and anticlimactic. 🥰🥰🥰

But many other movies as well.

I love that version

More like black hole?

Thanks! It's called ''Galaxy Explorer''. At least ten years old, so not the most up-to-date, but still fun.

+Michael Bauers No, they didn't use this music with Moonraker. John Barry wrote more music for that one--including two real standouts.

+Michael Bauers You're probably thinking of Flight Into Space, which starts out with similar cords to Flight Into Space, but goes more into the beauty of Space, instead of the danger. It's not the same piece of music at all, really.

No, it wasn't. As far as I know, John Barry never re-used musical themes or motives beyond the basic James Bond Theme. (Except he did shamelessly borrow /Theme from the Magnificent Seven/ in /Moonraker/.)

Terry Hurlbut Well actually Barry probably did reuse themes, think the 007 theme being used in those various Connery films. After all every composers does it. Also where in Moonraker did he borrow from The Magnificent Seven, because as far as I can tell, I'm not hearing anything similar to The Magnificent Seven, like at all.

Go back to the sequence when Bond and Holly had to jump from a cable car after Jaws wrecked it but before Jaws crashed into the base lift station and almost killed himself. As soon as Bond and Holly landed. Drax's men set upon them and took them away in a stolen ambulance. Bond escaped, but Holly did not. Immediately after that, we see Bond, outfitted in what looks like Western garb, riding on horseback into the MI-6 station outside Rio de Janeiro. And during that riding sequence, they play /The Magnificent Seven/--which most viewers probably remembered as the Marlboro Cigarette Jingle.
