[edit] Star Trek?

Some bits of this film's soundtrack sound just like the horn-based Klingon theme used in the Star Trek films; could Jerry Goldsmith have recycled his own work there? Kelvingreen 17:56, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

I would never accuse Goldsmith of "recycling" his music, but you make an interesting point: his "Raisuli's fanfare" (not necessarily the real title) does sounds like a downturning version of the Klingon leitmotif from Star Trek: The Motion Picture. The pacing is similar. But.... ;) David Spalding Talk/Contribs 21:25, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Synopsis

This film is near and dear to my heart. Some consider it Milius' best work. I waited something like 10 years or more for a proper, letterbox video release of the film. I'll be working on a synopsis for this article. If anyone has suggestions or ideas for a summary of this historical epic, put 'em here and I'll try to do them justice.
