This video is proof that, contrary to popular wisdom, Dalton was great at the one-liners. People say he seemed 'uncomfortable' delivering them, but I think they're just used to Connery and Moore, whose Bonds joked for their own amusement. Dalton's Bond doesn't make jokes for his own amusement, or to appear suave and witty, but rather as a way of dealing with stress, bitterness and exasperation. Which is perfectly in keeping with his more realistic, human take on the role.

As a kid I didn't like Dalton because he was too dark and broody, now I think he's the most underrated Bond. Shame we didn't get one more movie out of him

- I take it this is not a social call 007? - Correct, you should have brought lilies. Flowers for funerals. Never caught that one when I was younger.

I don’t understand why Dalton and his films are so overlooked and sometimes hated. Living Daylights is a solid entry and Licence to Kill is one of the best films of the series.

Timothy Dalton is my favourite Bond it's a shame he only starred in two films

he was like a pre-Daniel Craig in terms of seriousness and grittyness :) a bloody good bond starring in two very good bond films.

I liked Dalton’s take on Bond. He was more of what Fleming wrote.

Dalton may be my favorite Bond. Wish he had one more film.

Best villains, most believable Storyline/plots, and the darkest, Edgiest Bond of them all; loved Those two movies, as well as Dalton!!

Timothy Dalton was superb. He played the character in the books. And his films were brilliant.

Timothy is my favourite James Bond. I wish he was in more.

Damn i love the line he delivers in the car. "Stuff my orders, i only kill proffesionals, that girl didnt know one end of a rifle from the other. Go ahead, tell M what you want, if he fires me i'll thank him for it." This is THE original Fleming-Bond if you ask me. The seriousness and the pain of what they are doing for a living. I actually like Craig because he, as Dalton, portrays what's going on in their heads. Dalton will always be my favorite though. When Bond is looking in the mirror in the first book and Fleming delivers Bonds "looks" i see Dalton every time, even before Fleming himself.

Loved Dalton when I was a kid and still do now. Criminally underrated. I also think it's a shame Brosnan never got the quality to work with that Dalton did, Goldeneye aside. Could've been a second golden era for Bond.

Timothy Dalton's range is so good. Underrated Bond.

He should have done Goldeneye, damn lawsuits took to long and he was over it. Such a great and underrated Bond.

Dalton is my favourite Bond. He changed the standard of what it means to be Bond.

Dalton is definitely the handsomest Bond!

I found it interesting that Bond has attempted to tender his resignation numerous times over the years (Connery, Brosnan, Craig) but this Dalton film is the first time we see that MI-6 doesn’t actually recognize an agents ability to leave voluntarily. “We’re not a country club!” Seems to insinuate that OO status is for life, you either die on the job or M makes you disappear.

Timothy Dalton showing more of the Dark Side of Bond, when his Enemies hit close to home or he finds a rush in killing, example in License to Kill he had no regret throwing a guard in a tank with an Electric eel, getting an friend of a friend eaten by a great white, or even as far as blowtorching a drug lord to hell. even grimly staring at a man hanging on to his boot while he begs Bond to not cut the laces off. Dalton was one bad muthafucka and played it well. plus in the Dalton versions Moneypenny was supremely hot.

Ian Fleming would have been so proud of Dalton's portrayal, such a shame he didn't live to see The Living Daylights

Timothy Dalton is my James Bond.

"I'm sorry James. For you I have great affection. But we have an old saying. Duty has no sweethearts." "We have an old saying too, Georgi. You're full of it."

He has an amazing voice

"He got the boot" = Best Bond quote ever, haha!

I really loved Dalton as Bond. He should have been brought in earlier, like early 1980s, so he could've done AVTAK, Octopussy and FYEO. Those films would have been so much more with Dalton in them.

Unpopular opinion: Dalton was in fact the best Bond. Having read the books he and Sean Connery had the right mix of sophistication, coldness and intelligence.

Dalton always had a sense of emotional complexity that's in the books.

Timothy Dalton: 4th James Bond (1987-1989) An underrated James Bond character who is very professional, dark spy, and he's very interesting. The way he smiles, the way he looks serious, very nice to other women (but not too much sexualize all the time), and he looks great. He defeated Whitaker for making deals to Koskov and he seeks vengeance to take down Sanchez for his loyal friend, Felix Leiter. He only did two films and I always prefer Dalton side as the charming James Bond in the late eighties.

Timothy Dalton was a good James Bond. Much like George Lazenby, it's a shame his time with the character was so short lived. Now as Daniel Craig is nearing his end, it's interesting to notice how his interpretation of the character has had striking similarities to Dalton's portrayal.

Ranking Timothy Dalton's Era Bond Films (1987-1989): - Licence to Kill (1989) [100] * - The Living Daylights (1987) [80] He's the best underrated Bond actor ever!

A criminally underrated bond

Even though his one-liners were not as witty as Connery’s or as humorous as Moore’s, I did love the dry humor Dalton delivered, they still make me laugh and chuckle to this day. It went well with his character.

WHEN IT CAME TO BEING A GREAT ACTOR. HE WAS THE BEST ACTOR TO EVER PLAY JAMES BOND. THIS BOND HAD MORE DEPTH TO HIM. TIMOTHY DALTON HAS GREAT RESPECT FOR THE CRAFT OF ACTING AND IT SHOWS. THANKS FOR THE UPLOUD.

i was searching a word wich could describe it's talent; i found: intensity! of its voice, look, tone, elocution.... everything is intense with him...

Dalton is a great 007. Very genuine. Love the 80s feel of The Living Daylights. I wish I went to the restaurant in Karachi when I was there, I’m sure there’s one close by. A great 007.

He was a great bond. up there with sean connery

I think he's the most interesting James Bond I've seen so far. He added more color to the character

Dalton is one of the best Bonds! He did 2 awesome movies! Shame he didn't have a 3rd one.

I wish we’d have gotten that third film out of Dalton.

Honestly it wasn’t until I was little older did I realize that Dalton was actually the first bond actor I ever watched and when goldeneye came out I was forever grounded as a bond fan. I watched every bond film, memorized every gun barrel intro and used to hum the theme to myself. I’m a little depressed with the latest bond film but there over 20 really awesome adventures of bond to still enjoy. From campy, to suave, to playboy. It was one hell of an adventure I hope bond can return to form in the near future

As someone who likes deadpan and dry humor, Daltons one-liners are some of my favorite. You know how much of a badass you have to be to say "you should have brought lillys" and be intimidating?

God 3:57 Dalton looks like he’s about to cut the screen with a knife. Dude’s a professional how can anyone not see how talented this guy was.

Dalton is the most accurate Bond, just a stone cold killer.

Dalton is my favorite Bond, he is vengeful, but human and he does not care about his orders, he follows his instincts, if he is dismissed from MI6 it is fine, for him to kill is only against professionals, loyal with his friends and cruel when necessary and excellent with the ladies, the 007 of Fleming's books, my respects Mr. Dalton, sorry for my English

The best 007 Timothy Dalton

“piss off”, I love the way he says that line in License To Kill.

Dalton was the most surest Bond of them all.

When he said Shaken, not stirred... I felt that.

"SWITCH THE BLOODY MACHINE OFF!" best bond quote ever!

My favorite Bond by a mile.

love how it starts at the beginning of daylights and ends at the end of license

The one quote that's really missing here is: "You were just in time, things were about to turn nasteh. (Dalton's natural Northern English accent)" Other than that, this is an amazing video. Tim is my favourite Bond. Always has been and always will be.

The most realistic Bond like Lazenby and Craig.

When I saw the beginning of TLD I knew it had depth when Bond recoils from the monkey, since the urban legend is Churchill insisted there always be monkeys on Gibraltar since that was proof it would stay British. I wish there had been more of a plot based on the Fleming short story, since it captured the stress and boredom and terror of the Berlin Wall, but it was good enough as a jumping off point. The timing was fortuitous, as Russia was about to leave Afghanistan and with it the Cold War, but it still made sense when released. He also, like Craig, never saw women as objects, it was simply being caught up in a live and die world. A film I can watch many times.

Dalton: take notes junior Craig: ok daddy

my number one timothy dalton!! never given the chance!!!!!

Dalton was a tough prick, I love him!

Another great quote is from the Living Daylights, he made a big deal about Kayra bringing the Cello. But later when he blows the car up he says "Glad *I* insisted you brought that Cello"

"Let's make this a proper family reunion. Give me your gun."

Yes of course definitely and whilst always he's the very best James Bond ever

'Why didn't you learn the violin?' 4:11

Dalton was a stud at bond I wish he had more than 2 movies but I liked both a lot

For years ive been waiting for a moment where I can tell someone "Ive had a few optional extras installed". thats such an awesome line.

"He got the boot."

I just wonder wether Dalton ever thinks, "Oh just for one more film!"

See a young Benecio Del Toro at 5:08. Licence To Kill was his breakthrough role as a henchman.

Do me a favour.. *SWITCH THE BLOODY MACHINE OFF!*

At 0.07..... shaken not stirred. Yes love it. that had to be deliberate

The most realistic Bond besides Lazenby and Craig period //

Definitely the best bond...and he's Welsh, which is even better. 😂

Dalton is the most underrated Bond - He only did two movies, but they were ten times better than the previous 3 parodies (Excluding FYEO) Roger Moore did before Dalton was cast. Just a shame that audiences weren’t ready for a gritty, realistic and dark Bond and still wanted the gadgets and clownish plots.

I thought I was the only one who loved Dalton. brilliant on hot fuzz, penny dreadful and what we saw of him in game of thrones

It's funny, he seems to be angry in pretty much every scene.

Best bond with best story line ever

Dalton has easily been one of the best bonds to stand the test of time. He was a genuine bond without trying too hard and overcompensate. Love license to kill, a great one as The living daylights too. Today, the films are more flare and not about the story. I think they started going downhill when Brosnan was nearing his run (DAD was garbage). Skyfall was pretty good but I just don't think Craig makes for an interesting bond most of the time.

Dalton’s delivery of the line 'Shaken not Stirred' is the best! 😂😅

'He got the boot!' will always be one of the greatest Bond quips 😂

"He got the boot" best bond one-liner

Still stupefied why Necros at 6:00 didn't even manage to grab the net instead of Bond's boot. There was ample netting all around him but chose to grab the boot.

Watch Dalton in Framed, Hawks, Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, the Informant, the Living Daylights, Licence to Kill.

My favorite Bond.

Dalton was the best Bond. He just seemed so dangerous.

"he got the boot" Laughing.my.FUCKING. HEAD. OFF.

Best Bond. Period.

The real James Bond, according to Ian Fleming's book.

The soundtrack to TLD was great. John Barry's last.

Tim was first approached to play Bond in '68 for On her majesty secret service, Tim was 23 and believes Bond should be 35-40 so he said "I'm too young" he was then approached for the Living daylights and initially had to turn it down because he was filming another movie but after Pierce Brosnan gell through filming was delayed until Tim was ready. Dalton said he'd do it if there wasn't a huge emphasis on the gadgets but more on Bond from the books which Licence to Kill highlighted immensely, this is particularly interesting because he didn't piss on the legacy of Moore and Connery he just said "that's not for me" meaning their versions of Bond. Initially Goldeneye was gonna be in '91 with Timothy on his 3rd outing but Kevin Mcclory legal battles and a silly script Tim resigned and Pierce took over. Dalton was touching on what Daniel Craig would become but imo is a far superior Bond. For me Bond has to be most of if not all 4 of these: Look good in a suit - Pass Kicks ass - Pass Criminal Charm - Pass Ruthless - Pass Maybe it's a perception thing but Tims weakest was the charm, he wasn't bad at it but it was his weakest trait

4:12 as a doublebassist I keep asking myself this question lol.

he was good

Awesome James Bond

Despite not having the class of Connery and Moore- the two best Bonds- he is quite underrated. Much better than the tool Lazenby or the overrated wonder Craig.

I like Timothy Dalton as James Bond

The most under-rated, interesting and 'realistic' James Bond. I think he captured the darker, hardness and intensity of Ian Fleming's, licensed to kill-secret agent 007, coupled with the British reserve and charm. Attractive and handsome yet not exactly classically good looking, movie idol looks. He kind of had the whole package really but more the actor's Bond!

Fact: Dalton auditioned for Bond in the 60's and 70's during the Connery and Moore Era and he took the part a decade later.

Sanchez, killed by a lighter given to him by felix lighter. Dalton was so underrated, he introduced me to bond as a boy growing up in the 80’s.

"I had a few optional extras installed..."

I saw him Yesterday again He was not so bad and very attractive as 007

Once again, the 80s managed to be perfect. The BEST Bond~

Duty has no sweethearts.... Best line ever

ティモシィダルトン、最高にカッコいい❗🎶大好きです👌🎵❤️
