If you were one of the lucky ones to grab the Varese Sarabande limited edition soundtrack CD (1000 copies made) because you are a fan of Basil Poledouris and not the film, the following will mean nothing to you. If you bought the soundtrack because it reminds you of some laugh out loud moments of this under rated film, read on.
For those of you still reading, you already know this is one of the best comedies to come out of the 80's. You can picture studio execs in the early 80's trying to come up with more "Animal House" type yucks only to deliver crass, sexist garbage like "Porky's" or "Up the Creek".
After reading the liner notes to the CD, I was not at all surprised to see the negative comments about the film. It is what it is, and if you are like me, you have been wondering for years why Palmer and Eddie did not return in "Tourista" after all. The CD was a nice upgrade from my scratchy vinyl, and the DVD a nice update from my dated VHS; however, I want more.
In the meantime, here's Nicky handling the books.
