OUR SNEEZE SHIELDS CANNOT REPEL A HUNGER OF THAT MAGNITUDE

Plus the man gave us the pinnacle of 20th century aural art in the form of the steel drum-tastic Commando soundtrack. That and WoK make up for his lifetime of subsequent lazy hackery.

Interestingly, Horner actually started photocopying himself very early. Compare the second theme that appears in the Krull Main Title (1:42), or one of the main themes from Battle Beyond the Stars (0:14) to the second theme of Wrath of Khan (1:05). In fact, a lot of BBTS is pretty much interchangeable with WoK (and includes one of the best trumpet clams ever, at 3:43 in the above clip). Also, compare Commando to 48 Hours (0:46).

Trinity and Beyond almost sounds more Holst-ian than Williams-esque, which, I guess, is appropriate enough.

I'm pretty sure Stromberg is a big Herrmann fan - I hear a lot of Mysterious Island in the Trinity and Beyond soundtrack.
