Love the end credits song, love the trivia entry about it :):)

The only thing better than the end credits song Flashpoint by Scott Richardson and The Gems is the trivia entry about it. Hilarious. :)

================================================================================
When the director William Tannen hired Tangerine Dream to score "Flashpoint" he told them not to do the end title song because he had one he was using - "Sympathy For The Devil" by The Rolling Stones. Tangerine Dream said it was the perfect song to end the film with. They scored the entire film but this piece. The studio felt the song was too expensive and instead gave the assignment to an assistant who worked for one of the vice presidents. It was voted "worst" end title song for 1984 by Leonard Matlin, the film critic.

I'm glad it turned out this way. This song fits the ending much better than their expensive first choice. Than again, I love catchy 80s rock and lyrics that are semi-coherent, but still in connection with the theme of the movie.
