For a such a silly movie, the music is actually quite brilliant. Particularly "Walk on By" by Isaac Hayes, which plays as they arrive to Kim's palace. Just like many of the other songs in the movie, it manages to sound like traditional oriental music and sound modern at the same time. There are a couple other great choices as well such as the choice to use "Firework," a cover done by Jenny Lane, when Kim dies. Its ironically perfect because of its mention earlier in the movie obviously, but mostly because it sounds so sweet and delicate- a perfect contrast that just worked.
