Piedone a Hong Kong

Digitmovies proudly releases on compact disc the world premiere complete recording of the original score by Guido & Maurizio De Angelis for “Piedone a Hong Kong” , second movie of the series directed in 1975 by Steno and starring the great Bud Spencer, the big cop who uses his fist as the most powerful weapon in the world. After the previous Cds still available on Digitmovies (“Piedone lo sbirro” – CDDM031 and ”Piedone l’africano” – CDDM029), now our dream comes true thanks to the continuous help from our very good friends at C.A.M., who gave us the chance to issue every note of this score found in their original stereo master tapes. Originally C.A.M issued in 1975 an hard to find today 45 rpm single (C.A.M. AMP 153) with the two tracks “Piedone a Hong Kong” (an edited version of the track 6) and the disco song “The tast of love” as background to the Disco sequence. Guido & Maurizio De Angelis reprise their lovely “Piedone theme” in “Main titles” (tr.1), in “Piedone a Hong Kong” (tr.18), in “Piedone ritorna a Napoli” with a funny march-like tempo(tr.23) and in “Piedone a Hong Kong (Finale) (tr.24).The Angelis brothers have captured musically all the colours of the far East writing very exotic themes like “Antichi templi” (tr.9), “L’indagine continua” (tr.12),”Mafia cinese” (tr.16), “Fiori di loto e proiettili di piombo” (tr.17). Piedone is always in action against the bad guys from Hong Kong and he’s background with very groove themes like “Bangkok international airport” (tr.6), “Piedone a Bangkok” (tr.7), “Hong Kong” (tr.13), “Manhunt” (tr.15), “Caccia all’uomo II” (tr.21). The De Angelis bros. have also written a funny theme for the character of Mimì “Mani d’oro”, the weird thief from Neaples that Piedone meets in Bangkok (tr.8).
