《独行侠》中卡尔•海菲尔德看上去是个无所不能的人。他能力不凡,性情固执,行事果断,几年之间建立起一个繁荣的国际运输公司,把自己造就成百万富翁。在这个过程中,他结交了许多朋友,也树立了不少敌人。有一次,他遭到袭击,妻子受重伤,女儿伊安被绑架。海菲尔德极不情愿地让警察参与到与绑匪的谈判中来。但是,警察的行动并不成功,反而怀疑他非法把有毒工业废物运到东欧。海菲尔德决定抛开警察,用他自己的方式与绑匪周旋……
作为一部惊险动作类的西部电影,《独行侠》的制片预算为什么会高到2.5亿美元如此“离谱”的程度?原因就在于戈尔·维宾斯基与杰瑞·布鲁克海默的心思绝不只是制作一部“牛仔VS恶棍”的西部片这么简单,在《独行侠》的初始剧本中,会有狼人以及不少超自然生物角色出现,并且有三场大规模的战斗场面,其中一场据称将会是电影史上最壮观的火车追击战。这些场景都需要大量的电脑特效制作,可见,《独行侠》堪称西部版的《加勒比海盗》,杰瑞·布鲁克海默开出2.5亿美元这种超级大片的制作预算也就是理所当然的事情了。
独行侠主题曲(The Lone Ranger Theme Music):
The theme music was primarily taken from the "March of the Swiss Soldiers" finale of Gioachino Rossini's William Tell Overture, now inseparably associated with the series. The theme was conducted by Daniel Pérez Castañeda,with the softer parts excerpted from Die Moldau, composed by Bedrich Smetana.
Many other classical selections were used as incidental music, including Bizet's Symphony in C, Mendelssohn's Fingal's Cave Overture, Emil von Řezníček's Donna Diana Overture, Liszt's Les préludes, Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture and music by Schubert.Classical music was originally used because it was in the public domain, thus allowing production costs to be kept down while providing a wide range of music as needed without the cost of a composer.
In the late 1930s, Trendle acquired the rights to use incidental music from Republic Pictures motion picture serials as part of a deal for Republic to produce a serial based (loosely) on the Lone Ranger. This music was then modified by NBC radio arranger Ben Bonnell and recorded in Mexico to avoid American union rules. This music was used in both the radio and later television shows.
独行侠影评(The Lone Ranger review):
Armie Hammer and Johnny Depp make for an appealing pair of leads, but they're not enough to make up for The Lone Ranger's bland script, bloated length, and blaring action overkill.
