So the only Ladyhawke I know of is an 80s movie starring Michelle Pfeiffer, which would have been a pretty good movie if it weren't for the intolerable synthesizer soundtrack.
I'm guessing that's not what we're talking about.
OMG THAT SOUNDTRACK WAS AWESOME
"There's nothing as bizarre as hearing 80's progressive rock in a sword and sorcery film, and what makes the situation in Ladyhawke worse is that it's alternating with ten to fifteen minutes of really decent orchestral material by the London ensemble in the film. You get bludgeoned by the 80's rock rhythms and electric guitars over cheesy keyboarding for the first half of the film, only to be treated to some significantly rendered orchestral passages in the third quarter, only to be slapped once again by the non-descript rock at the end. The rock passages all sound alike, with the heartbeat effect from "Dark Side of the Moon" leading a whining synth brass theme and occasional early-80's digital orchestra hits. Both nauseating and punishing, these sequences accompany fight scenes, conversation pieces, and travel sequences with little regard for pacing, scene change, or any other cue identifiers."
