The shrill notes of the "On To Kansas City" intro into Hillys theme, with the sun rising over the empty road with their stolen Jag.... cinema masterpiece
This is a prime example of how very essential a movie score can be to the movie's string of action. This is so exhilarating! Thank you Mr. Mancini for touching my heart and enriching my life!
Personally I'd go with The Fugitive, but the wreck scene is definitely an amazing use of Practical effects, and how they did it is also downright amazing
The crash is based on an actual event. During WWII a Pennsylvania railroad (if I recall the story correctly) passenger train lost its brakes as it approached a terminal. It smashed through the end buffers and the huge electric locomotive slid out on to the concourse. The floor was not designed to support the massive weight of the engine, and it fell into the terminal's basement. The loco was left where it was and the floor replaced. After the war ended, the engine was craned out, repaired, and put back into service. Reality is stranger than fiction.
Well, no. As much as I LOVE this, his '60's work was better - Charade, Arabesque, Wait Until Dark. But this whole movie is a shadow of earlier, better movies, @ least they were smart enough to hire Mancini. Did I just ignore Pink Panther?! I was blessed/fortunate enough to see Henry (Hank?) perform @ Ontario Place in Toronto. Music from that era - Bacharach David, Motown, John Barry, Beatles - is timeless.
I am a great soundtracks lover but I discover this Mancini original score, though I saw the movie in the theater when it was released. Pretty score Mancini was a skillful composer especially for melodies and jazzy themes
I LOVE this music to Silver Streak, and I LOVE the movie as well, love the build up just before the train slams into the station in Chicago, sort of wish they could do a remake of Silver Streak and have the character of George Caldwell save the train from crashing into the station, think that might be kind of cool
The funniest scene in Silver Streak is when both the late Richard Pryor & late Gene Wilder are going past the security check point to go and board the Silver Streak which that scene was in the Kansas City Union Station.
I saw this movie at galaxy theatre bangalore india Sorry the luxurious air conditioner 70 mm theatre no more now where enter the dragon ran for50weeks and exorcist ran for 25 weeks so Sory the theatre no more and the gud films are only a memoy now
I know what you mean, but there are still good movies. Funny thing is that they flop, as they don't get hyped. I liked the new blade runner for example. It flopped..
@@nocturnaljoe9543 Dude really it flopped as it well you know sucked i really liked the first 1 so it might not sucked just dont feel the same on the other hand that first movie dam Dir cut really really sucked it could have been gold but dushbag turned it in to crap

Love this movie and soundtrack. Saw it in the theater when i was 14.
I was 11 and saw it at The National Theater in NYC.....GOOD MEMORIES!!!!
Just a great movie and one of the best soundtracks of all time, what a shame most of the actors are now deceased
GREATEST CRASH SEQUENCE EVER PUT TO FILM! You can't do that with CGI...

@@christopherorourke6543 I knew it was somewhere back east. Thanks!

Very funky, I love it. A bit of relax, a bit of funk, a bit of American spirit , and you get this… THE SILVER STREAK
Look! There's the Silver Streak. Bye, Steve! It's George!!
Love the theme to Silver Streak, feels like you're onboard rolling down the tracks. Love the Movie too🤙‼
Thank you very much. Henry Mancini at his best !

Great soundtrack and a great movie!
You're not wrong!

Brilliant score....brings back great memories....ty
Magic of a film
Love the music and score , thank you for posting this.
I love this film.
Thanks for the soundtrack
The title theme perfectly depicts any locomotive roaring to life and creeping out of the station/yard with cars in tow
I LOVE this music to Silver Streak, and I LOVE the movie as well, love the build up just before the train slams into the station in Chicago, sort of wish they could do a remake of Silver Streak and have the character of George Caldwell save the train from crashing into the station, think that might be kind of cool
I think you might like Murder on the Orient express, kind of a train comedy thriller too but set in Europe during the 20s.
Please, in this day and age, don't even mention REMAKE. Hollyweird has already pozzed enough classics, thank you.
Um...that's a big NO! Sorry...
@Kevin Rose But Silver Streak is kind of a remake itself...
Great film! Great score!
Back when Movies wer GOOD and had REAL Soundtracks
No one could make that string section sing at 2:24 like Henry Mancini.
Awesome..spine tingling!
The funniest scene in Silver Streak is when both the late Richard Pryor & late Gene Wilder are going past the security check point to go and board the Silver Streak which that scene was in the Kansas City Union Station.
Henry Mancini Always Genial!!!!!
Wooooooooow
Catchy little bass line
I misread your comment. I didn't see the b in the word bass.
wow love this movie like to watch 3 or 4 times a year thanks so much Gene Henry Rich Jill Mr. hand and even that dush who plays the bad guy lol
The bad guy is Patrick Mac Goohan 😉
That "dush" (douche?) is the great British actor Patrick McGoohan.
@@mattbeck9526 so many movies he plays a ass but i guess some one has to be the bad guy
7:20 I'm Bad! I'm Baaad!!! Be bop bip bop.....
Canadian Pacific...aka AmRoad.... Lol. Filmed in Canada (train yard scenes).

Ah yes one of my fav movies love it, of course is it me or does the way they drew the cp/amroad locos in the movie cover look like a metra loco
I Love Gene Wilder.
