SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 2:44 Min.
Accompanying the opening and closing credits of Airwolf’s final season in 1987, Sylvester Levay’s original theme is recalibrated by musician Rick Patterson. As of 2012, this extended track became available as a digital single under the title of “Airwolf Season IV Main Title Theme.”
Note: Please note that the opening credits version has an abbreviated minute-length running time.
REVIEW:
Frankly, Rick Patterson’s upbeat reboot (including a rotating chopper blade sound effect intro) of Airwolf’s theme is the sole asset of the its last-gasp fourth season. Patterson doesn’t match the caliber of Sylvester Levay’s original instrumental, but this catchy track is still really entertaining. Hypothetically, Patterson’s energizing revamp would have been a cool update had it accompanied another season of Stringfellow Hawke (actor Jan-Michael Vincent) & Dominic Santini’s (actor Ernest Borgnine) high-flying adventures instead of the dubious quartet hired to replace them.
BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING: 8 Stars
Note: Additional themes from Airwolf: Season Four were released in 2014 as an album (including the opening credits version of this tune).
