South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut opened 25 years ago this past weekend, and the songs on the movie’s soundtrack are as catchy and memorable as ever. 

An homage to 80s classics like Bloodsport and Kickboxer, The Last Kumite was funded on Kickstarter and recently released on 4K/Blu-ray.  Along with featuring appearances from the likes of Billy Blanks, Mathias Hues, and Cynthia Rothrock, the movie also features a score from composer Paul Hertzog and original songs from the legendary Stan Bush, including the title song “No Surrender.”

Although it feels like it would be more at home on the soundtrack for a Bad Boys movie, “#1” by Nelly was the lead single off the soundtrack for 2001’s Training Day.

You probably wouldn’t think of Irish music for a movie from a Hong Kong director featuring anthropomorphic kangaroos. Still, Irish band Clannad brought some Celtic vibes to 1997’s Warriors of Virtue, which arrives on Blu-ray for the first time this week. 

Before he was Tom Cody in Streets of Fire, Michael Paré was Eddie Wilson, the lead singer of Eddie and The Cruisers in the 1983 movie of the same name.

Anya Taylor-Joy didn’t get the chance to flex her musical chops in Furiosa this past weekend, but she did in 2021’s Last Night in Soho, performing two different cover versions of the Petula Clark classic, “Downtown.”

Maverick, which came out 30 years ago today, featured several cameos from western film actors and country music stars, including Clint Black, whose song “A Good Run of Bad Luck” appeared on the movie’s soundtrack.

Along with composing the score for Wolfgang Petersen’s 2004 historical epic Troy, James Horner also worked with Josh Groban for the movie’s end credits song, “Remember.”

Ninja Kamui wrapped up its first season on Adult Swim/Toonami this past weekend, and if you’ve been keeping up with all the ninja action, you heard “Vengeance” by Coldrain every week during the opening title sequence. 

Dua Lipa’s new album Radical Optimism is out this week, which seems like a good time to throwback to the song she did for Alita: Battle Angel in 2019, “Swan Song.” 

Considered the worst movie in Denzel Washington’s illustrious career, Denzel was paired with Bob Hoskins for the 1990 comedy Heart Condition, which featured the song “Have a Heart” from Bonnie Raitt on the soundtrack.
