Allan Quatermain and the Lost City of Gold (1986) - Soundtrack Collection

Turns out there is a good reason for my not remembering the score Michael Linn composed for this sequel to 1985's King Solomon's Mines. It's not really a score.

Jerry Goldsmith had composed and conducted the excellent score for the first film and, to save on production costs, the decision was made to recycle most of it for Allan Quatermain and the Lost City of Gold. Selections from Doc Seltzer's score for The Ambassador (1984) and George S. Clinton's score for Avenging Force (1986), also owned by The Cannon Group, were also recycled for use in the film.

Even with all that recycling there were still sections and snippets that needed music. Enter Michael Linn, who composed and conducted said filler, to create what amounts to a hint and a tease for what an actual original score might have sounded like. There is enough color and character on display to have me wish that Linn had been able and allowed to score the entire film.
