I always rated the slow motion , fast motion opening sequence to The Helicopter Spies , with a similar rendition of the theme music . It never appears now , anywhere , as far as I've seen .
My favourite U.N.C.L.E movie too . When I hear that theme tune I want to look out my U.N.C.L.E I.D that I've had since I was a kid throw on the movie and be whisked back to the child I was when I saw it in the cinema in 1967
Ah, for the Old Days when Spy life was seen as cool, the cars were fast, guns and girls were faster. A tux was standard issue, along with a razor wit and knowing when to "open Channel D." No agnst or cynical nature here, just exotic locals and 'nefarious forces' to be brought down.
Thanks for posting...used to hold a tape recorder to the television speaker just to get this theme as a kid....THEN after Tom Cruise made Mission impossible a rival to Bond, I prayed someone would do the same with UNCLE....and Guy Ritchie arrived...enough said 👎
Guy Ritchie's version was sacrilege . This was the best of the U.N.C.L.E. movies. I seen it in the cinema. I'd my U.N.C.L.E. I.d. card and bubble gum cards in my pockets as I saw it in 1967
When cool was really groovy, and my car was wicked. Hanging with the greasers at beachside, but eyeing the surfer girls. I dream of Jeanie and creepy crawlers.
From the web, it seems that The Helicopter Spies was a movie lifted from the 2 part UNCLE episode "The Prince of Darkness Affair" and some of this music appears on the Cd "Man from Uncle Volume Two" - see the Film Score Monthly website.
No, for me Gerald Fried One Of Our Spies Is Missing theme is best...especially the opening credits with the late great Robert Vaughan entrance into UNCLE headquarters cruising along the corridors...for me you can't get any cooler...RIP MY CHILDHOOD FRIEND
WOW! Thankyou Tri311. I've had this theme for a very long time but it was recorded from the film via cd and the quality is crap. Where did you get this version? I've been try in vain to get the 3 UNCLE albums Jerry Goldsmith made, it's impossible, so I am trying to get bits and pieces from YT. Thanks again Tri331
