Heartbreak Ridge - Music and Soundtrack

Music and Soundtrack

The score for the film was originally composed by American saxophonist Lennie Niehaus and Desmond Nakano. The music score was mixed by Robert Fernandez and edited by Donald Harris. The sound effects in the film were supervised by Robert G. Henderson and Alan Robert Murray. The mixing of the sound effects were done by Bill Nelson.

Actor Mario Van Peebles wrote "Bionic Marine" and "Recon Rap," and co-wrote "I Love You (But I Ain't Stupid)" with Desmond Nakano.

The final scene of the movie in which GySgt Highway's platoon returns to the United States features the 1st Marine Division Band (a fact which betrays the reality that the scene was filmed on the west coast, not at Cherry Point where the scene is intended to take place).
