TRIVIA: The theme tune is David Whittaker's rendition of "Megablast (Hip Hop on Precinct 13)(7'' Mix)" by Bomb the Bass, taken from their debut album "Into the Dragon" © 1988 Rhythm King/BCM Records. Bomb the Bass' album version of "Megablast", in turn, is a remix of the soundtrack from the 1976 motion picture "Assault on Precinct 13", composed and directed by John Carpenter.
