How can you? It's very rare that one album of his doesn't tend to cycle through all of the above mentioned. He even worked a lot with orchestral music, sound collage, and musique concrete. Again, sometimes all in one album.

Terence Hill, as recently confirmed during an interview to an Italian TV talk-show, was offered the role but rejected it because he considered it "too violent". Dustin Hoffman and John Travolta declined the role for the same reason. When Al Pacino was considered for the role of John Rambo, he turned it down when his request that Rambo be more of a madman was rejected.

Al Pacino = God
