Your favorite song from an action movie soundtrack?

Pick a song.

I always liked Danger Zone from Top Gun. I think it would have been a great cover for a band like Judas Priest (circa 1986).

"One Vision" by Queen for the movie Iron Eagle is great too.

I only own a few soundtracks and off the top of my head, only one from an action film (Last Action Hero). My favorite track from that is Anthrax' Poison My Eyes.

Big Gun is a good tune from "Last Action Hero". As is the others mentioned above. And of course anything from the "Heavy Metal" soundtrack.

Id have to say Big Guns by AC/DC off Last Action Hero Sndtrk

Yup, came here to say this. My very first heavy metal song. Heard it on the radio (taped it too) when the movie came out. Still badass.

Body count by Body Count on the credit roll for Universal soldier was pretty tight

Probably "Angry Again" from Last Action Hero soundtrack. I've always really liked this one as well by Robert Tepper from Rocky IV:

Which is ironic because the film makers wanted to use Turbo Lover instead but Priest said no.

Maybe not my fav, but a memorable one.

If you consider Leatherface to be an action movie, this would be my answer:

There is literally nothing not awesome here!

How about a song that put AC/DC back on the map. From the Steven King Movie "Maximum Overdrive"

A few I like:

Action
Heavy Metal, Radar Rider, Veteran of the Psychic Wars from the Heavy Metal OST
Danger Zone from Top Gun OST
Transformers Theme from the OST
Big Guns, Poison My Eyes from Last Action Hero
Strike Like Lightning from Navy Seals OST
Hide In The Rainbow from Iron Eagle OST

Non Action
Go To Hell from Bill and Ted OST
Dancing w/a Gypsy, Paradise from Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure OST
Savage from Nightmare On Elm Street 5

Favorites:
From both Genres

Never Surrender, Secret Loser from The Wraith OST
Win In The End from Teen Wolf
Stand Up And Shout from Rock Star OST
Birth Ritual from Singles OST
DreamWarriors from Nightmare On Elm Street 4
Living On The Edge from Iron Eagle 2
Lunatic Fringe from Vision Quest OST

If I had to pick one for Action it's Lion - Never Surrender; and non action would be Mark Safan's Win In The End.

Reckless, not Turbo Lover.

Here's another good one from the Shocker soundtrack.

That is ironic... but it turns out Required Fields is correct. It was the song Reckless.

"Cry Little Sister" and "Lost in the Shadows" from The Lost Boys

Ratt - "Nobody Rides for Free" from the movie Point Break.
