Jag tar fram denna duellen från filmen Crossroads .Djävulens protegé, Steve Val, lirar mot Eugene vars själ står på spel till att vid förlust bli djävulens . Vid vinst rivs hans mentors (Willie Brown ) redan med djävulen signerade kontrakt.
Shooting took place on location in Mississippi as well as Hollywood. Blues legend Frank Frost makes a cameo.
"I think the blues still speaks to kids today", said Ry Cooder, who performed the music with Steve Vai. "It's so old that it's new."[7]
Cooder says the final duel involving Vai "had to be all mapped out, since we had to carefully choreograph the call-and-response of that guitar duel and use it as playback during the filming. Steve Vai is tremendously scientific when it comes to guitar playing, and was able to adapt to that process." [8]
The filmmakers shot sad and happy endings and both were tested with audiences; the happy ending was chosen.[9] (The unhappy ending had Joe Seneca's character dying.[10])

För övrigt skapar Ry Cooder i den filmen jäkligt grymma slidelicks. Tycker jag.
