Does anyone know which composer was responsible for the Gongmen city theme in this film? Having a hard time determining whether it’s Zimmer or Powell.
Lorne probly lol
Kinda assumed that to, but the cue sheets don’t credit him for every version of the theme meaning it isn’t him. From what I understand the cue sheets for this franchise is very accurate .

Dom Lewis is really underrated for the work he did on this score, Zen Master balls’s first 4 minutes was spectacular!
