"See you in hell." "Send me a postcard."

Here's Jay Chattaway'sscore for the ultra-jingoistic 1985 Chuck Norris film "Invasion U.S.A.," brpught to you by filmpac. The plot is simple: Retired CIA agent Matt Hunter (Norris, who also co-scripted) faces off against a Russian terrorist (Richard Lynch, the go-to guy for low budget villains) and his troops who are attempting an invasion of the USA, starting with Hunter's home of Miami. You have a shootout in a shopping mall, you have car chases, and a great performance by Lynch. You also have great one-liners (a good one was used for the post's title). Plus, you get to see Chuck kick a lot of ass.

Chattaway provides a nice action score in the vein of Rambo, and is a pretty nice, exciting listen. For some reason, the first four tracks were combined into one, so this tracklisting is a bit inaccurate for those who own the original vinyl. Download and enjoy!

Tracks:
1. Main Title/Kidnap Chase/Airboat Armada/Night Drive
2. Matt to the Rescue
3. John Eagle's Farewell
4. The Invasion
5. Matt's Decision
6. Tanks in Atlanta
7. School Bus Bombing
8. Amusement Park Ride
9. The Battle Begins
10. Solemn Sea
11. The Trap
12. Rostov's Dream/The Finale
13. End Credits

If anyone has a picture of the actual US cover (the cover used is the French one) for this soundtrack, please let me know. You will get credit for it. Thanks in advance

Hey there,

I would love to have the scores for Invasion USA and Firewalker if you could re-post tehm. I have been looking for them for years. I will also try to get you the artwork for Invasion USA. It was a Varese release back in '85. I was actually a day player in that film, got my SAG card working on it in Atlanta. I could tell you some stories about that.

Thank you,

Sharky
