Talk:Bill Conti

Too many "also"'s
seriously —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.45.223.182 (talk) 18:03, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Gonna expand on this. What is the story with the Karate Kid being an "as well as" with Masters of the Universe. Liked both movies, but as with the Rocky franchise, Conti composed the music for the original motion picture and "all but one of the sequels." Since the Rocky franchise has a slightly higher box office gross while the Karate Kid franchise has a slightly higher average gross per-movie, this puts Karate Kid ahead in Conti terms (Karate Kid has fewer movies). This is all according to box office mojo. Granted, the various re-releases and reboots in these franchises muddy the waters, but at the very least they should be given equal billing, if for no other reasons than that the Karate Kid movies started a decade later, appealed to a younger/wider audience, and had way more distinctive instrumentation in the music. I can either figure out how to rewrite this whole page myself with Karate Kid in the intro, or just wait until the Rocky fans start dying and some martials arts movie fan does it for me (-10 years). Seriously, boxing movies are as dead as, well, boxing (Will Smith's movie Ali made a third of the money his son's Karate Kid remake did according to bom). 184.100.75.144 (talk) 05:01, 13 May 2015 (UTC)

Conti is not dead.
I thought he was, too, but it was Maynard Ferguson, the trumpeteer for Gonna Fly Now who died. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Awesimo (talk • contribs) 02:30, 15 April 2007 (UTC).

Bill Conti is NOT dead.
Just to clear things up, Bill Conti is NOT dead. He is my grandfathers cousin by marriage. I haven't met him, but we get Christmas cards from him and his family every year, and I know he isn't dead. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.160.131.153 (talk) 14:52, 26 September 2012 (UTC)

Mr. Conti Sr was my piano teacher and neighbor. He was wonderful and passed too young. It's no wonder his son is a wonderful musician. Mr. Conti Sr would be so proud of his son! 168.220.189.216 (talk) 00:12, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
