Score question: In Like Flint

[Paul (ral)]

Just watched a bit of "In Like Flint" and part of the score from Jerry Goldsmith was identical to a bit of the Forever score.

Anyone know if this has been noticed before?

Yes, in a soundtrack review regarding Elliot Goldenthal,  "In Like Flint" by Jerry Goldsmith was mentioned as a subtle homage.

Here is an excerpt from the track by track analysis:  http://scoresheet.tripod.com/Reviews/BatmanForever.html

13. Mr. E's Dance Card (Rhumba, Foxtrot, Waltz, & Tango) (3:21)
One of the most entertaining tracks, this presents a stimulating danse macabre on the Riddler's four-note motif.  Beginning with a scandalous rhumba for saxophones and castanets that ironically (and ingeniously) presents The Riddler's theme in an abridged three-note form that plays as a subtle homage to Jerry Goldsmith's IN LIKE FLINT score, the orchestra next segues into an agitated foxtrot, again cunningly based upon the main theme, including the Russian rhythm that becomes most noticeable in the character's action music.  The final two dances serve as exotic concertos for violin, beginning with a sarcastic "tear-inducing" waltz, and segueing into a seductive, bizarre tango incorporating the obsessive love theme, which in turn includes both Batman's theme and the four-note motif.  The most surreal passage on the album, the passionate tango subsides into dark rumblings from the contrabasses, tubas, and trombones.
