Award winning composer Ennio Morricone was asked to score the film, but had to back out due to other projects. A piece of score he did for the film ended up being used as the theme. According to the film's final composer, Alessandro Alessandroni, Morricone asked him to score the film in his place. Alessandroni stated he based some of the music on the piece Morricone did as well as developing it further.
