...looking for a piece of music in a Jackie Chan movie!!!?

...as most old school martial arts / chop socky film fan well know, the background music of many of the classic martial arts films from the 70%26#039;s %26amp; early 80%26#039;s, is borrowed from other films (especially American films), or synthesizer instrumentals. I am looking for the title of a piece of music from Jackie Chan%26#039;s classic film, %26quot;Snake in the Eagle%26#039;s Shadow%26quot;. Remember the scene where the old master, whom Jackie%26#039;s character was kind to, left him a book with some martial arts teachings? Then he goes out to a stone court area, in the back of his house, and finds the foot steps for a kung fu routine, marked off in chalk? And as Jackie%26#039;s character attempts to practice the moves in the book and the chalk markings, the background music is a piece of synthesizer music written by the Euro-synthesizer rock group Tangerine Dream, which I had heard before.....but to this day, cannot remember the title. Rather than drastically buying the entire TD library, perhaps someone out there can help!!!!!!

I think this might be helpful.





Youtube has quite a few Tangerine Dream videos. You can browse through them and maybe find the one you%26#039;re looking for.





I remember that film (saw it long ago though), but I was convinced Space did the main theme. I included a link to that video too just in case.





By the way, you%26#039;re one of my new favorite people on Y!A because you were so excited about Monster Squad being availble on DVD in October. My city does midnight showing of older non mainstream/cult films and the showing for Monster Squad was the only sell-out ever.
