Not quite what I was expecting,
January 5, 2001 "jlinhrst" (Missouri, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Shanghai Noon: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)
For those that enjoyed the movie Shanghai Noon, this is not a soundtrack to be passed up. The actual music contained in the movie can be a little misleading: DO NOT buy this soundtrack intending to hear any Kid Rock, Aerosmith, or ZZ Top songs that were played throughout the movie. DO buy this soundtrack if you enjoyed the old western style harmonies combined with the uniqueness of music from the far east, that Randy Edelman created for this movie.

"The Old West, Kung-fu Style!",
July 6, 2000 This review is from: Shanghai Noon: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)
Composer Randy Edelman who also composed "The Whole Nine Yards" - "The Last of the Mohicans" - "Gettysburg" - "Ghostbusters" - Executive Action" scores the lastest Jackie Chang kung-fu western - "Shanghai Noon". Edelman takes traditional western themes and blends them superbly with far east melodies. The result is a well-crafted and entertaining soundtrack, one the listener will enjoy immensely.The entire album is a winner from start to finish. The record label, Varese Sarabande have left nothing to chance, with Edelman pulling out all the stops, with this rousing and rip-roaring western score. So saddleup buckaroo and visit the west as the sun sets on - "SHANGHAI NOON"!Total Time: 57:30 on 28 Tracks/ Varese Sarabande - 302 066 154 2 (2000)

Shanghai Duped,

This review is from: Shanghai Noon: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)
After seeing the incredible movie starring Jackie Chan and listening to the great music playing throughout including the Kid Rock popular song,we could not wait for the soundtrack. Imagine our surprise and dismay to find out it is all instrumental! Never do you hear the words that has become synonymous with this movie " you want to be a cowboy baby"...
