Favorite Star Wars & Indy action cues?

[MrScratch 294]

1) What is your favorite Star Wars action cue*, in terms of soundtrack listening experience only?

2) What is your favorite Star Wars action cue*, in terms of how it fits the scene and matches the onscreen action?

3) What is your favorite Indiana Jones action cue, in terms of soundtrack listening experience only?

4) What is your favorite Indiana Jones action cue, in terms of how it fits the scene and matches the onscreen action?

For me its:

1) The Last Battle (ANH)

2) The Asteroid Field (ESB)

3) Scherzo For Motorcycle and Orchestra (LC)

4) The Desert Chase (ROTLA)

* Prequels included, though I doubt they will get any votes.

[Elmo Lewis 6]

This is refreshing.

1) Love Pledge and the Arena, matched by Battle of Yavin

2) Battle of Hoth

3) The Desert Chase

4) The Desert Chase

-Ross, who thinks The Desert Chase cannot be matched not topped by ANY action cue anywhere.

[Miguel Andrade 1,273]

a) Return of the Jedi, from Return of the Jedi

B) The Last Battle, from Star Wars

c & d) the opening sequence from Raiders of the Lost Ark (the three tracks on the cd), closely followed by the Desert Chase

[Trumpeteer 302]

Star Wars, both in the film and on CD: "Clash of the Lightsabers" from The Empire Strikes Back

Indiana Jones, both in the film and on CD: "Bug Tunnel" from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom

1) Into the Trap from ROTJ. Does that fit as action? I would think so. Just such an intense piece of music, all original with only a hint of a familiar theme.

2) Well, the above, and also Sail Barge Attack. Classic Star Wars, all out action, Luke kicks EVERYONE's ass. Across the Chasm from ANH is also quite good.

3) Truck chase from Raiders. 'Nuff said, I believe.

4) Tank sequence from Last Crusade. One of my favorite action sequences ever, and since the soundtrack's version is all screwed up, or at least it's screwed up in the movie, whatever, I didn't pick it for #3. Also really dig the music from TOD when Shorty and Willie are in the cart and Indy is catching up to them on that rope. Very exciting stuff. Shanghai Streets is too.

[Melange 446]

1) Asteroid Field, and "Here They Come".

2) Duel of the Fates (Chilling in the film).

3) The Basket Game & Slalom on Mount Humol

4) The Basket Game & Escape from Peru.

Leonard Bernstein

[MSM 126]

1) The Asteroid Field (ESB)

2) The Last Battle (SW)

1) The Basket Game (RotLA)

[King Mark 3,631]

SW:

The Battle of Hoth(the whole 14 minutes!)

The unreleased music in ToD after the sacrifice scenes when Indy and Shortround are fighting the thuggies untill Indy swings into the mine car

[Albaicin 0]

1) The Carbon Freeze/Duel sequences in ESB.

2) The Battle of Hoth (I agree with King Mark, the whole fourteen minutes)

3) The Desert Chase.

4) Belly of the Steel Beast in Last Crusade.

I'll go with:

*Map Room at Dawn- Indiana Jones

*Kamino Storm- (Titled as Main Title/ Ambush on Coruscant on the Attack of the Clones cd)

*Zam the Assassin- Star Wars

*I like the Finale (on the Attack of the Clones cd) but its not very action-oriented.

I do love the ominous tone it provide for the movie though.

*Raiders March- Indiana Jones
