Last Action Hero Soundtrack – (Release Year – 1993)

Some of you are probably wondering why I would cover a fifteen year old movie soundtrack at HRH, but I have a very good reason to do so.

Chances are, you probably have seen this clunker of a movie featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger.  This is one of the rare cases where the movie soundtrack is actually better than the movie itself.

A couple of wees ago, I started looking for rare cuts from Tesla, and discovered that they performed the title track to the movie “Last Action Hero”.  While I didn’t remember the song, I saw the list of bands on this sound track and couldn’t resist picking this up.  I secured a copy off of Amazon.com for 1 cent plus shipping.

The soundtrack has the following songs:

1. AC/DC  – Big Gun
2. Alice in Chains – What the Hell Have I
3. Megadeth – Angry Again
4. Queensryche – Real World
5. Def Leppard – Two Steps Behind
6. Anthrax – Poison My Eyes
7. Aerosmith – Dream On (Live Version)
8. Alice In Chains – A Little Bitter
9. Cypress Hill – Cock the Hammer
10. Fishbone – Swim
11. Tesla –  Last Action Hero
12. Michael Kamen With Buckethead – Jack and the Ripper

You can’t really go wrong with a soundtrack that has AC/DC, Alice in Chains, Megadeth, Queensryche, Def Leppard, Anthrax, Aerosmith and Tesla on it.

This is the only place you will find the Tesla cut, “Last Action Hero”.  This also has a semi rare cut from Megadeth “Angry Again” which originally only available on the Hidden Treasures CD, but can now also be found in the Megadeth Warchest CD box set, or the newer greatest hits disc Anthology.

This also the only place you will find the AC/DC song “Big Gun” (in the video below).

I didn’t really care for the Alice in Chains songs, but the rest of the stuff on this disc is pretty good. For one penny plus shipping, it was a worthy purchase.  You can find a copy for of the CD, at this link.

    I agree I like this soundtrack a lot…but not the movie.
    (The movie is one of three that has Arnold Schwarzenegger together with Danny DeVito).

    Another soundtrack that is much better than the movie is “Who Made Who” by AC/DC (the soundtrack for the movie “Maximum Overdrive”)…and another is the “Shocker” OST.

      I like that Maximum Overdrive movie though. =)

        You’re one of the few! 😀

        It was a Stephen King story, which I normally enjoy…but not that one.

        lol…of course, I probably liked it more due to the slammin’ soundtrack it had. That one girl in the movie is EXTREMELY annoying. You wont find any other movie where someone dies playing a video game….lol. Ahhhh the eighties! =)

    This site is great-this soundtrack is one of my favorites and I just listened to Big Gun at the gym today while my iPod was on shuffle mode. We are adding a link to you from “Are You F—ing Kidding Me?” You’ll find Pure Inc, GNR reviews, etc on it that are right up your alley.

    I bought this on cassette when it 1st came out cuz of the then NEW AC/DC song Big Gun. I loved the album….well most of it. I liked the tunes by Anthrax, Queensryche, Tesla, Alice in Chains, Megadeth ..the best.
