Anyone know how to get access to the song used so many times in this movie?
It rocked hard.

I don't know where you can buy it, but yeah it was pretty *beep* awesome. I'm buying a multi region dvd player just so I can watch the dvd of this masterpiece.

You want to know something interesting? When I first heard the theme from this film with the musical progression via electric guitar, I immediately thought of Soft Machine's "Hazard Profile, Part 1". Although the "Hazard Profile" compositions are all on Soft Machine's 1975 "Bundles" album. They do perform it live in 1974. Even though the film's theme composition came before Soft Machine's composition, "Hazard Profile, Part 1" is extremely similar to that of the theme's.

Unfortunately I don't think it has ever been released but as far as I can tell it bears an awful lot of similarities with another soundtrack main theme Bacalov composed the previous year for "Summertime Killer", just hear for yourself:
