Trailer for the Film on YouTube:



As awesome as this movie is with the action, the drama, the intensity, the color and the spirit.  All these things are great.  I even love the acting and the campy dialogue.  However, what really makes this movie one of my favorites ever is the music provided by Composer Elmer Bernstein.  It is amazing stuff.
