"He's coming to save the world, one neighborhood at a time."

Thanks to a user of Blogger who wishes to remain anonymous (will the person who uploaded this please come forward?), here is the bootleg promo score for the 1993 superhero comedy "The Meteor Man," composed by Cliff Eidelman. A nebbish Washington D.C. teacher (Robert Townsend, who also wrote and directed) is struck by a meteor one night and gains some amazing powers: he can absorb the information in any book (for 30 seconds), he can fly (but only four feet off the ground, as he's scared of heights), he can shoot ray beams out of his eyes, he can control things with psychokinetic powers, he can talk with dogs and understand them, and he has incredible strength and the power to heal. He's bulletproof and harder than steel. He can move fast enough to catch bullets. He sets to work on cleaning up his neighborhood but faces opposition by the leader of a gang called the Golden Lords (Roy Fegan) and a mobster (Frank Gorshin). He also has to deal with what happens when he starts to lose his powers due to the meteor in his system dissipating.

A nice blend of comedic themes and dark cues (for the action and drama scenes), this score is recomended for fans of Eidelman's score for "Star Trek VI" and fans of superhero scores in general. Download and enjoy.
