This thing is loaded with FM. I am fairly certain this is mostly 2OP FM from the Synclavier, but it might have some Yamaha DX-7 6OP in there for some of those bamboo hit sequences, but it could very well be a pure Synclavier FM soundtrack which is rad.
Other than some samples slap bass and drums, this track (and soundtrack in general) is steeped in FM, with lots of keys and pads.
I also have no doubt that this movie and this soundtrack were the direct inspiration for Mortal Kombat 1. There are darker moments in this soundtrack that perfectly match the tone and texture of the original Mortal Kombat. At 0:45 you can practically hear the announcer from Mortal Kombat shouting, FINISH HIM!!!. It always puts a smile on my face when I hear it, and think about the developers for MK and especially the composer for MK, Dan Forden, watching this movie and just getting all pumped up.
OK USA!
