In this installment, I will focus on still more movies who contributed music to the original Japanese and Food Network U.S.-dubbed versions of our obsession.<\/p>\n

A word of notation before I begin: I do not own the majority of the soundtracks you’re about to see listed here. Therefore, I may not know which particular cue goes with which usage and the exact length of the track used in each case. If you recognize which cues I reference, e-mail me at Blissey01@yahoo.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

CONFRONT 3: EVEN MORE MOVIE MUSIC<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

I’d like to thank Keith Brock (you know him as \u201ctuthead\u201d) for providing me with the music list from the late and lamented ironchef.com website, which I used as research material for this article.<\/em><\/p>\n

First up is Mulan<\/span><\/em>, the 1998 Disney film (and number 36 on the company’s list of \u201cOfficial Canon\u201d animated features<\/a>). Composed and conducted by the late Jerry Goldsmith, the soundtrack contributed various cues for episodes in the latter year-and-a-half of Iron Chef<\/span><\/em>‘s run. (Click Here<\/a> to purchase this soundtrack.)<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Most noted of these is the \u201cSuite from Mulan<\/span><\/em>\u201d (Track 6 on the Walt Disney Records soundtrack album), which was used during the original U.S. version of the 2000th<\/sup> Plate Special<\/span><\/em> (ICC episode number 631) in a recap of the 1994 Prawn Battle between Iron Chef Chinese Chen Kenichi and challenger Takashi Saito (ICC episode number 238).\u00a0The recap was shown as part of the \u201cChairman’s Top 5\u201d dishes countdown, whose Number 1 was Iron Chef Chen’s version of his father Chen Kenmin’s famous Prawns in Chili Sauce.
