Originally written for wheelchair bound Canadian athlete, Rick Hansen, John Parr was recruited by Joel Schumacher to rework the song into the theme song for his Brat Pack hit, St. Elmo’s Fire.

John Carpenter’s scores are some of the most iconic music in movie history but did you know he also had a cheesy 80’s rock band called the Coup de Villes, who provided the theme song for Big Trouble in Little China?

Tarantino’s homages to kung fu and grindhouse movies are the focus of this week’s Musical Montage with Kill Bill featuring Battle Without Honor and Humanity and a number of classic western songs while Death Proof has a bunch of 60’s and 70’s rock .
