The 1987 Run-DMC film Tougher Than Leather features a live performance of an unreleased song titled "Desperado". The 1990 film Pump Up the Volume also includes an unreleased track, "The Scenario", supposedly excluded from Licensed To Ill for being too explicit. The song is not included on the film soundtrack but can be heard briefly. The song is available via bootlegs though, such as "Original Ill" (which also features the unreleased Beatles cover "I'm Down" and demos of all the Licensed To Ill tracks.)
