Hello,

Can someone help me identifying from which movie soundtracks or library music records the following music cues were lifted from? I've included links that should take you directly to the point in the video where the song plays that I need ID'd.

Music from "Duel for Gold" (1971) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IkOlu35Dxrk

 

Bruce Lee: The Man, The Myth (1976) music played during the title screen https://youtu.be/7UzB9hCujUA?t=97

 

Bruce Lee Fights Back from the Grave (1976)

The 3-second cue before the music from Rollercoaster starts playing: https://youtu.be/-iYzIsoqat8?t=1327

Also this, from the same movie: https://youtu.be/4rXLvzb4Ljg?t=1592

And this too: https://youtu.be/-iYzIsoqat8?t=1862

And one more from the same movie: https://youtu.be/-iYzIsoqat8?t=3524

 

Return of Fist of Fury (1977)

Spaghetti western-sounding intro song: https://youtu.be/WmrHDI2ex0c?t=31

10-second cue: https://youtu.be/WmrHDI2ex0c?t=2414

Funky song 1: https://youtu.be/WmrHDI2ex0c?t=2425

Funky song 2: https://youtu.be/WmrHDI2ex0c?t=4279

 

Bruce, King of Kung Fu (1980)

Brief cue that plays before the fight: https://youtu.be/YNB3C7ewnn0?t=158

Cue during the fight: https://youtu.be/YNB3C7ewnn0?t=171

One more from the same movie (I've heard this same music in other movies too): https://youtu.be/YNB3C7ewnn0?t=195

 

Magnificent Natural Fist (1980) https://youtu.be/xqd-dCp67ho?t=207

 

The Gambler and His Kung Fu Master (1981)

https://youtu.be/b0GW8dSybjA?t=84

https://youtu.be/b0GW8dSybjA?t=145

 

Fearless Hyena 2 (1983)

Cannot direct link to the song for this video, but it's the music at 1:31:04 during the end credits I want to know: https://fsharetv.io/watch/fearless-hyena-2-episode-1-tt0085864

 

The Magic Crystal (1986)

Theme song (not sure if it's taken from somewhere or made especially for the film): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKagdgoD-3E

 

Unknown kung fu or Hong Kong action movie #1

I don't know the name of the movie this comes from (sound only), all I know for sure is that it's a late 70s to early 80s kung fu movie. I would like the music ID'd, and if possibly the movie also. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=buZaN9q3r78

 

Unknown kung fu or Hong Kong action movie #2

Here is video but without sound and I'd just like to know which movie it's from. It originally had the disco song FLIGHT '76 by the Walter Murphy Band playing during this opening sequence. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2KwG4ap6Ww

 

I have also some music from Hong Kong (non-kung fu movies) I would like help with, but let's see first how this goes. Any help appreciated!

The theme of Duel for gold is also used in a spy/thriller from the Shaws', I don' t remember the title and I didn't know either from which theme it comes, sorry.

Interesting thread, welcome to the forum.

Sorry, some of the music sounds familiar but I can't pinpoint it. I can hoever tell you that "movie #1" is Fearless Hyena 2.

EDIT: sorry about that mistake, my computer must've moved the page as I clicked the link (it does that on a regular basis :( ).

@Moderation Team can you please delete this post.

A lot of the music  they use is from the De Wolfe library, although I've caught some pink Floyd and even Blue Oyster Cult in some movies.

I've always liked this piece of music.

It's the soundtrack theme for the Aces Go Places movies.

I replied to you but it seems my comment was never posted. Thank you for ID'ing that track for me!
