Definitely done more in a spoof fashion, but nice pieces of music nonetheless:

"Old James Bonded Bourbon" off the HOOPER soundtrack.

"Moore of the Same" off the Cannonball Run soundtrack.

Those are the two that came to mind when I saw this thread. Will think of more and add during the workday.

Comment on the above: The SHREK track is great and very Arnold-ish.

I remember thinking that the music on Inside Man was very Bondish while watching it. Very Moonraker, to be exact. I believe Terence Blanchard did the score.

Hm. I'll have to check INSIDE MAN out. I seem to remember the DVD cover putting me off, 'cause I had to analyse the whole thing for a media studies exam.

As for me, I would say the soundtrack to JOHNNY ENGLISH is very Bondian. I think it was scored by Arnold.

I always thought that John Powell's 'Paycheck' score was very Bondish, especially "Hog Chase Part 2".

I'd love to hear Powell score a Bond film, but having scored all 3 Bourne flicks, he'd probably just cause yet more comparison...

speaking of monty pyton - that life of brian main title song - aside from the lyrics the arrangment of that melody has bond written all over it - speically with HIS NAME WAS BRIAN (bondish trumpet music)
