When the Going Gets Tough....... 80s soundtracks

Playing an 80s soundtrack comp...... and I love this song from the average romp 'Jewel of the Nile'.

According to the IMDB the backing vocals were done by the film's three stars (Michael Douglas, Kathleen Turner, Danny DeVito). That true or bollocks? I know they appear in the video.

I guess that depends how far you stretch backing vocals. Yeah I love 80's soundtracks too, some real classics.

The Power of Love (Huey Lewis)
Nothin's Gonna Stop Us Now (Starship)
