Bill Conti's score for the 1985 adventure farce GOTCHA! is a combination of synthesizer cues and orchestral action music. One track of each was all that was released on the LP/cassette that MCA Records issued from the film at the time. Soundtrack Collector has a placeholder for a CD release in its listings, but I don't believe that a CD was ever issued. Here are Conti's two released cues, back-to-back, "Check Point" and "The Edge."
"You are, without a doubt, the biggest animal I have ever seen in my entire life." - Snooty blonde to Our Hero in the trailer (in the actual movie she says something a lot ruder than "animal").
Henry would not be alone in hoping for a CD release.
If I do remember correctly, didn`t Douglass Fake or was it Roger Feigelson said that he liked that score. So if that is true then if someone will release it then I guess it would probably be Intrada.

There was a thread somewhere on the Intrada forum where Mr. Feigelson said that he looked into it and found that there is only about twenty minutes of score for the complete work. He seemed interested in releasing it in some form once they're finished with bigger stuff at Universal.
I love the film, great 80s nostalgia. The film was very clearly temped with Horner's GORKY PARK, but Conti makes it his own. Go to 3:18 in the suite to hear the references:
