Anyone know where I can find a clip of the opening credits for the US version? It started with a blend of the UK and US anthems and lots of shooting (for us crazy Yanks you know). All i can find is the standard UK opening which was different.
shareI sooo..loved the American version (the way the brass blended the American anthem with the British anthem with harmonic cords was way cool) although I like the UK version as well.
Here's a youtube clip although the sound quality is not good. I was hoping the DVD release would have this alternate version also.

Oh, yeah!!! It was so long ago, that I didn't even remember that! The one thing I do remember, that wasn't in that clip, was that it ended with a massive, amazing explosion (almost as amazing as when the Death Star blew up in Star Wars). I remember it because my then boyfriend's father marveled at how much bigger and more like an A-bomb movie/television explosions have become, since the advent of said bomb, and the fact that people must expect every explosion to look like a mushroom cloud. I, on the other hand, tried to explain to him that it was probably just that controlled pyro-technics are so much better than they were in the 1940s - 50s, and probably had nothing to do with people expecting mushrooming explosions, except that it's possible to do so with better control and technology. Somehow, that, and the fact the professional wrestling is NOT quality entertainment, never got through to him.
