This is unapologetically one of my favorite bond movies. It's an underrated gem in the bond franchise and I think there's a lot of people who wish Dalton had more movies. He was awesome in the role.

Timothy Dalton is a very underrated Bond. At the time, he didn’t get a lot of love since he came after Connery and Moore.

I would like Dalton have done more 007 movies. He was a very good Bond!

Probably the darkest movie in the whole Bond franchise. Dalton is probably my favourite Bond.

License to kill is one of the most underrated bond movies ever and it’s one of my favourites. Also always love your bond reactions Jen can’t wait for Goldeneye next week!!!

This movie is Bond at his purest. Bond at his core. Great reaction

Jen has the absolute best James Bond movie impressions.

YES! This is my Personal Favorite Bond movie! One of the very few that actually felt like the Bond that Ian Fleming originally created.

Had a crush on Carey Lowell and Talisa Soto when watching this movie back in the day😃 It’s sad that this was the last time we see Dalton as Bond. I wished he stayed for one more before retiring the role.

This movie used parts of the Live and Let Die novel that wasn't used previously. The producers happened to bump into David Hedison who had played Felix Leiter in Live and Let Die and thought he was still able enough to play the role. During the scene when they parachute to the church there were two takes, the first one is the one you see in the movie. The second take, the director wanted them to land a little faster, David's leg bent and was injured and limped the rest of the movie. He had issues with that leg the rest of his life. Our family was good friends with David Hedison and would met up with him at conventions. I have a couple of interviews I filmed with him on my VT channel and I ran his website for several years.

I'm really glad you decided to watch every Bond film and that you are "loving this whole journey and watching the way its evolving over time and through the different decades." This was the exact reason I advocated for you doing so. Watching the evolution of the series over its remarkably long lifespan is truly fascinating, and reliving it vicariously through you has been an immensely enjoyable experience.

I absolutely love the scene where Q is waiting out on the street in disguise. The cars drive by and he uses a radio built in to a broom. Once he's done, after years of complaining that Bond never brings any equipment back, he just dumps his equipment in a bush and walks away.

Both of the FBI agents from the first Die Hard are in this movie. Robert Davi (Sanchez) and Grand L Bush (Agent Hawkins, the guy who tells Bond to "let it go")

To the best of my knowledge, with Dalton they tried to go back to the character of Bond from the books, make him darker and with more of an emotional edge, so to speak, and I liked his two films a lot. This one is one of my favorites for sure, and Robert Davi brought a sinister and deadly edge to his villian which I found very effective along with Benicio Del Toro as his henchman. It's a shame we didn't get more with Dalton but very glad that we have these two and at least he brought something different to the franchise much as his predecessors did. Great reaction!

Dalton was always my favorite. It's such a shame we never got more of him.

Walking around the house singing View to a kill... totally get it and totally adorable

Timothy Dalton gives Bond some real vulnerability and emotion compared to the previous actors, it really is a huge shame they couldn't get him started sooner. I think Pierce Brosnan still has a bit of Dalton's edge in the upcoming GoldenEye, which I'm sure you're going to love, filled with great villains. Also, the music for Licence to Kill is by Michael Kamen! He's done a ton of awesome soundtracks including the Lethal Weapon and Die Hard franchises. He also worked with Queen on Highlander, which I definitely think is a movie you'd enjoy. Sean Connery is also in that

I took the love of my life to see this at The Odeon, Marble Arch, a couple of days after its premiere in June 1989. We were teenagers and it was our first real date. She is currently poking me in the back and quoting lines from this film. We have been very happily married for 32 years, and are both huge Bond fans.

I adore License to Kill. Easily top 5 in my Bond rankings, and hands down my favorite Bond girl. Pam Bouvier 😍 When she shows up with a new haircut 🤩 Concerning the ending theme - 'If you ask me to' feels like a statement from Bond to Bouvier. If she asked, he would leave everything for her. Due to this interpretation, it's my favorite Bond 'love theme'. And Patti Labelle crushes it. Celine's version is a pale imitator.

Timothy Dalton is my personal favorite Bond. He was way ahead of his time in his portrayal of the character. He did what Daniel Craig did, but fifteen years earlier, with his darker more tormented and more realistic version of Bond. Unfortunately I don't think audiences were really ready for a Bond like that, especially right off the back of Roger Moore, which is why I think he only got the two movies :(

Jen at the start of the movie: "this guy is a good villain Subscribers: she has no idea what she is about to get into 😂

The score was composed and conducted by the late Michael Kamen, as John Barry was in the hospital after he ruptured his esophagus and had to drop out. Kamen did music for the LETHAL WEAPON and DIE HARD movies, as both film franchises share the same bombastic action theme.

SPOT ON JEN!!! This one stands apart from the rest with the most non-formula plot… and Dalton’s Bond is so good… & really smart (the ins & outs of his fooling one villain while framing the other). He created the dark Bond persona that Craig picks up on and takes to the next level. Thank you for bringing us along on your Bond journey!!!🙏

6:42 - Benicio del Toro was only twenty-two years old.when he played Dario, Sanchez's henchman in 'License To Kill'.

I remember being so frustrated when this one came out because it had a 15 certificate in the UK and I was 11 at the time. My older sister was particularly obnoxious about it as she was old enough to beat the age limit. 18:13 Love how Dalton’s accent slips here. There is a similar slip in Flash Gordon, again involving the word “bloody”.

Weird fun fact - during the climax, there is a moment where the impact of bullets lands to the James Bond theme rhythm. Just a great little bit of sneaky foley work.

Underrated Bond. Underrated villain. Underrated Bond girl. This movie is just awesome! Fun Fact: the singer doing the Bond theme was a gentle Christian woman who was very uncomfortable singing the lines "I've Got A License to Kill". She just thought that sweet song was too gratuitous.

I love Licence To Kill, Dalton is my favourite Bond, I would have loved it if he had done a 3rd. A great Bond song too.

Timothy Dalton is actually my favorite Bond. This movie is also my favorite Bond film. The last Bond film that didn't take itself too serious. It had adventure, action and most importantly humor. Every Bond film since then has become more and more serious and less fun.

It made my day to hear you say this may be your favourite Bond movie so far! It's so awesome. It's in my top 3 Bond movies. Pam Bouvier may be my favourite Bond girl and I love seeing Q having a bigger role (and I'm glad you did too!). You get to see how much Q and Moneypenny really care about James. This is a strong contender for my favourite Bond reaction of yours too! Very cool to see you talking about how handsome Timothy Dalton is. :)

This movie + GoldenEye are my two favorite James Bond movies

Oh . In the florida house with the cats. Bond says ( it's a farewell to arms ) funny that is Ernest hemmingways house and he wrote a famous book called ( a farewell to arms ) hemmingway left the house to his cats and turned it into a cat sanctuary. .. ( edit ) ha noticed.

At this point in the series this was the first time an actor had played Felix Leiter more than once, even though David Hedison last played him in Live and Let Die and John Terry had played him in between. Also, Felix losing his leg to the shark and the note on his body are straight out of the novel Live and Let Die. In the book series Felix has a wooden leg and a hook for a hand every time he appears after.

You by far, are the best KZfaqr on James Bond movies, I love your enthusiasm & being a fan like the rest of us! Just joined your Patreon site.Thanks for being you!!!

For a different film with Timothy Dalton, I recommend The Rocketeer. He plays a swashbuckling movie star in the late 1930s. It was made not long after this movie. It comes from a time when Disney took more risks.

Jen, your Bond reactions are easily the best thing on youtube. 😂🥰😘

I truly did not recognize Benicio del Toro the first few times I saw this film. He looks so different as a young fella and I'm used to seeing him in present day lol. Such a good actor

Sweet. Seriously, I have been looking forward to this all day . This was my favourite bond movie as a kid. Thank jen

Jen, you have won the number one top spot on my list for "Favorite Canadian KZfaqr" second place goes to Cinebinge and third being Popcorn in Bed. You have taken the James Bond journey and have entertained the masses with wit and comedy (especially those wisdom nuggets). So happy I subscribed to your channel.

The Patti LaBelle song is one of my favorite ending credit songs in the series. I saw this just before visiting Salem Massachusetts in October 2019 during Halloween time and that song always reminds me of that trip. Celine Dion 🇨🇦 also did a cover of it! 🙂🎶

It's one of the more atypical Bond movies, it doesn't feel like a classic Bond movie since there's no spy mission, it's more of a Taken-style personal vendetta with Liam Nesson, mixed with a bit of Miami Vice Tv Show, in what is to pursue drug traffickers and disarm their plans. Even so, the result is good and the action scenes in the final part with real trucks, filmed on one of the most dangerous mountain routes on the planet in Mexico, are spectacular, one of the best action scenes in the saga.

Probably the most violent and darkest bond ever ;) And I don't know if you realized but Felix Leiter was the recurring character from the whole serie since "Dr No", it was even the same actor who played him in "Live and let die" ^^ Sanchez is one of my ALL time favorite bond vilain : He's scary, sadist, dangerous and one of the most realistic vilain in the bond franchise. I wish we've had more vilains like him in bond movies :(

Been enjoying your Bond journey Jen! Got a feeling you're going to love Brosnan and Goldeneye is a hell of a lot of fun. It's my personal favorite film in the series!

The shark scene is lifted from the novel Live and Let Die, "He disagreed..." note and all. Felix Leiter is fed to a shark by Mr. Big's henchmen and ends up with a hook on one hand and a stump on one leg. He leaves the CIA and joins Pinkerton's, and appears in several later books. He and Bond have a great Bro relationship in the books, talking a lot of shit when they hang out. The Leiter character is underutilized in the movies, IMHO. He is from Texas and drives a Studebaker with a Cadillac engine. Kind of a badass, even after the shark attack.

Dalton was ahead of his time. Angry and brooding. Love the guy.

The most violent, dark, and controversial James Bond movie, as it was the first Bond mivie to recieve a PG-13 rating. This was the second and final time we see Timothy Dalton as James Bond. He was going to come back in a third film, but he was dropped (fired) from playing the iconic super spy. This was the first Bond movie I saw on CBS back in 1995 to promote the upcoming GOLDENEYE.

Fun fact - This is the first Bond film to not use the title of an Ian Fleming novel or shirt story, but there are a lot of elements taken from several books that weren't used on film. Felix Leiter being fed to sharks and the shootout at the bait warehouse are from Live And Let Die, Milton Krest is from The Hildebrand Rarity and the plot of Bond befriending the villain to work for him and bring down the organization from inside is the main plot of The Man With The Golden Gun.

Licence To Kill kicks off Bond's savage, bloody, sweet 16! In 1990 MGM was bought by Pathe Entertainment and the Bond rights were sold off, resulting in Albert Brocolli sueing, resulting in a legal battle that would span the early 1990s... Dalton was originally contracted for 3 films, with the third picture allegedly titled Property of a Lady, referencing a Fleming Short Story... By the time the legal issues were resolved, it was 1993 and Dalton's contract had since expired. Dalton never wanted to just be known as Bond, so when Brocolli offered Dalton multiple more Bond films, he declined, as he just wanted to complete that third Bond film he was contracted for. So Pierce took over for Goldeneye. This ends the classic era of Bond, with this film being the last film to be produced by Albert Brocolli, directed by John Glen, and have the title sequence done by Maurice Binder. The 90s saw a changing of the guard with Brocolli's daughter Barbara and step-son Michael G Wilson becoming the main producers... Daniel Kleinman would become the main title sequence designer, and we would see a different director for each new Bond film...

Yes, the villain's right hand is a young Benicio del Toro, long before he was famous, it must be from his first works in Hollywood. By the way, I recommend the Sicario movies with Benicio del Toro and Josh Brolin, they are very good.

It's the return of Jennypenny ❤

Liking this one a lot is in no way a bad thing. It's genuinely one of my favourite Bond movies, and I share your sentiment that Dalton didn't do more movies (there's a whole story behind it, in basic terms the studios were hesitant on doing another and he was under contract to be readily available for another film at all times should they decide on one... but they didn't decide for years so he ended up leaving the role to put food on the table with other roles). I'm still a die-hard fan of Moore's Bond, but Dalton is without a doubt my second favourite. 'License To Kill' is a cornerstone of Bond for me, it's up there with 'Goldfinger' and 'The Spy Who Loved Me' (among others), and I'm glad you had such a great time with it.

We need a Bond ranking once all movies are watched

Dalton is my fav 007. He plays the character closest to the Flemming Bond. There was a lot of legal issues after this movie, and they lasted for several years. When it finally came time to do the next Bond movie, Dalton didn't want to or producers didn't want him again, don't know which.

I've been a Bond fan for decades, and for me, this ranks top 5 overall. Dalton is unabashedly dark, gritty and vengeful - and frankly the closest to what Bond was on the written page, IMO. And I honestly don't care how "over the top" the truck scenes at the end were - I loved every second. "Don't you want to know why" is one of my favorite Bond moments of all time.

Benicio del Toro really hit the ground running in his movie career. So fun seeing him this young.

OK Jen, you wanted to hear my Timothy Dalton story, so here it is. You mentioned that you were once a banquet server, me as well. I got my start at a Fairmont hotel in Denver. There, I had encountered many celebrities, heads of state, and lots of rich and powerful people. Let's just say, I had gotten training there that served me well. Eventually I moved to Key West Florida. I was, hired to work in a five star gourmet restaurant called Henry's at a resort called the Casa Marina. Alot of the filming for License to Kill was in Key West. Opon the completion of the film, they had a cast party and dinner at the restaurant where I worked. I met the entire cast of the film, Timothy Dalton, Robert Davi, and so on. Once the dinner was over, MR. Dalton asked me if I would like to join the party on the resorts grounds. Of course I said yes. Most people with fame come in two types, very nice, humble and gracious, or they are just so into themselves, they view everyone else as beneath them. Timothy Dalton is one of the nicest people I have ever met. I have had many memorable personal experiences with famous people. There's only one encounter that tops the interaction I had with MR. Dalton, and that would be the time I had dinner with James Stewart. But that's a story for another time.

Jennypenny, love your reactions and loving that you love Dalton, very underrated Bond! Love the incorporation of the crush counter, excited to see how high it goes by the end of this edit. 🥰

Love it! Jen, you asked, “what other movies with Benicio del Toro should I see?” You absolutely positively should see *The Usual Suspects* . I don’t want to say anything about it other than it won multiple Oscars, so, ya know, lots of people like it. Keep up the great work!

Here's an interesting bit of trivia: Actors Robert Davi(Sanchez) and Grand L. Bush(DEA Agent), previously starred in 1988's Die Hard. They were the two FBI agents named Johnson. Also, composer Michael Kamen did the music for both Die Hard and Licence To Kill. Thanks again Jen!

In addition to "Goonies," Robert Davi, "Sanchez" plays one of the two "Agent Johnsons" in "Die Hard." Also, Anthony Starke, "Truman-Lodge," in this, has the dually impressive feat of being in one of my favorite Seinfeld episodes, "The Jimmy," and he has a name that's very nearly the same as Tony Stark, Iron Man.

Like On Her Majesty's Secret Service, this film has gotten panned but reappraisal over the years. And speaking of which, this is as close to a spiritual of sequel to OHMSS we should have gotten.

This is the darkest out of all the old bond movies but it’s a really good one. Love the reactions.

Robert Davi as Sanchez is one of the best villains in Bond, I think. So underrated, like the movie as a whole. He is intimidating, his ambitions are realistic and credible, he is a narcissist but also smart and manipulative. He prides himself in being cool, calm and collected which makes him even more scary when he loses control and the complete sociopath comes out. There are many good Bond villains, but Sanchez is one of very few that I really feel, if you know what I mean. Being a cool villain is easy, but being a scary one is something else.

Yes, the truck stunt, with the truck driving on its side, is 100% real. They had built a tractor-trailer that was one solid piece, but stunt driver Remy Julienne didn’t need it, and instead did that actual stunt, for real, using a regular, articulated tractor-trailer setup.

The scene where Felix is fed to the shark and left with the note- he disagreed with something that ate him was from the Ian Fleming novel, Live and Let Die, but the producers felt the scene was too violent when the Roger Moore film was filmed in the 70s

Totally with you on the View To A Kill theme ❤ And License to Kill is my favorite Bond film, so I'm with you there too. Can't wait to hear what you think of my favorite... The Chris Cornell song on Casino Royale. And Deep 6 someone - traditionally people had to be buried 6 feet underground. 44:31

I love this one especially for Q being out in the field …

"James Bond and his teensy little gun." JennyPenny! 😅 One of my favourite Bonds - the callback to Tracey, one of the best Bond girls, and of couse... Q killing it as a field agent - that moustache! BTW, IIRC a stunt driver actually pulled off the first truck stunt. The wheelie was a specially-built rig.

This is definitely in my top five Bond films! Dalton is amazing as a vengeful rogue agent.

The Living Daylights, Licence to Kill, and Goldeneye. Three top notch Bond films in succession.

Dalton was a study of the Ian Fleming's books and wanted to play closer to the character bond in Quantum of Solace. Another less know film in this tone is The Tale of Ian Fleming in WWII. It shows the historical roots of several bond characters to come out in Casino Royale. Ironically the protagonist of the film is played by Sean Connery's son.

FANTASTIC Review. Thank you. Now, don't forget. The Mask of Zorro - 1998. Explosions (I know you're partial to them), Sword Fights, a Tango, and Romance. It's right in your lane.

Dalton's run of Bond is one my favourites underrated and I ❤ 80s 🤗

"Who's this chump?" That's Wayne Newton, he's a famous singer who headlined in Vegas for the longest time. "Is it possible to do that with a big truck like that?" Possible? Yes. Easy? No, not at all. But he's Bond so it's a piece of cake for him. "He popped a wheelie" Now _that_ isn't possible, they actually had to make a specially modded truck cab for that scene.

Today is National Villian Day and my pick is Franz Sanchez! He's is the best villian in the series with the best character development. I love how he is basically a mirror image of Bond (Loyalty is more important to me than money). The best villians in Bond are usually a mirror image of Bond which you will see in the future Bond movies.

Hi Jen. Yes a stinger is a missile. Also Deep Six comes from an old nautical term. In the deep six meaning six fathoms (or 36 feet). This was believed to be the depth at which a body (or person) was not retrievable. There is also a correlation to six feet, which is of course the depth at which the dead are buried on land. Great reaction as always Jen!

Jen, you are so goofy. Who knew Bond reactions would be this fun!

I'm so glad I saw this (and the other Dalton film) in the theater. I'll never forget the opening credits/song at the beginning of this particular one. I saw both Dalton films in the same theater which was very large and the screen was huge, as was the sound system. So memorable. Also glad so many others have pointed out (as I did previously) that the franchise was embroiled in a nasty lawsuit for years after this entry came out, which is the main reason Dalton didn't return in 1995. One last thing of note is that this was the last Bond movie (to date) that was released in the summer movie season. Reason being (likely) was Batman (1989) destroyed everything in its path at the Box Office in that summer of 89', and Lethal Weapon 2 was also released at almost the same exact time as Licence To Kill was released. Eon Productions has never repeated this misstep, as every Bond film after Licence To Kill was released in the fall. They obviously learned their lesson. When it was announced years after LTKill was released that Dalton wouldn't return as Bond I was heartbroken. Such is life.

Felix Leiter being attacked by sharks was used in the novel Live and Let Die and Leiter loses part of his arm and leg. Also the sub was the same one used in The Spy Who Loved me. Licence revoked was the original title for the film but felt that not everyone would understand the meaning/definition

Yes buy cheap champagne or ginger ail 🎉 this film has a great cast especially Robert Davi. U forgot; people are buried 6 ft down? Benicio del Toro: watch the amazing Usual Suspects 🎉

Jen, you forever be my favorite movie reactionist!

Yes Composer John Barry's last Bond score was "Living Daylights" he did it as a favor to the Bond producers to kick off Timothy Dalton as the new Bond. They even gave him an on screen cameo as the conductor of the orchestra near the end of that picture.

...and with all the grief Q usually gives Bond about (not) returning the equipment, he uses the broom radio and just tosses it into the bushes. 😂

It's a shame Timothy Dalton didn't get to do more movies. He was signed to do more but after this movie the franchise ran into some legal issues that kept them from making more movies at the time. After they sorted it all out years had gone by and Dalton decided to move on.

Jen, as so many people are saying, your Bond reactions are so wholesome and entertaining. You’re getting so knowledgeable about the series the further you go into it. So happy that you’re a Dalton supporter as well - he really is the best version of Flemings Bond on the screen. Licence to Kill is my favourite film in the series, regardless of how controversial that may seem to many. I echo your thoughts that he should have stayed in the role for longer. Keep up the awesome reactions - will be interesting to hear your thoughts on Brosnan and Daniel Craig. Love these videos, you’ve got a subscriber in me! :-)

Jennypenny again?! You're spoiling us. This is one of my favorites. A great villain. An underrated Bond Girl in the gorgeous Talisa Soto. Scary henchman. Awesome lair. And an unparalleled truck chase. So much excitement when I saw the thumbnail. Deep six is six feet under. As in the depth of a grave. They did actually do that with the truck.

The villain was also the lead FBI agent in the first Die Hard movie and also appeared in several television shows.

YEEEEEES! You loving this so much is giving me life, Jen! This is actually my #1 Bond film in my ranking. I love the callbacks to Tracy, I love Bond being out for revenge, Sanchez is a cruel, but charming villain and Pam a brilliant, badass Bond girl. Not to mention Q finally being an active part of the mission! And the score done by Michael Kamen, who did the music for so many 80s action classics like Highlander, Die Hard and Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. I think I speak for a large part of the fandom, when I say, that we all wish Dalton had done more Bond movies. He's my favorite Bond and a lot of people have said the very same thing about Moore better having ended his era sooner and Dalton doing more movies. Still, I love that the two Bond movies we got with him are so great. Now comes the Brosnan era, which is a mixed bag for me, but I'm sure you're gonna have lots of fun with it 😊

I also love both 2 theme songs, and of course, Carey Lowell & Talita Soto 💞

43:00 Franz Shancez Burst Into Flames

18:04 exactly my reaction when I first saw this movie lol. I heard it was darker but damn. This and GoldenEye have always been my favorites.

Hey, Jen! All your Bonds have been great 👍 This is to get that fake champagne 🍾 You're awesome 🥰

Deep six comes from the depth where something is discarded at sea. Another possible origin is a reference to the usual grave depth of six feet.

At 43:00 a missed chance for the ultimate pun: "Oh, frick! Killed with the Leiter's lighter!"

This is the most 80s American action movie style of the Bond films. I like seeing Dalton again and the villain is great, but the movie is hit and miss. The Wayne Newton appearance and Q as comic relief didn’t need to be there. I believe the same guy who did music on Die Hard did this one and it’s fairly typical of 80s action movies. There’s a lot I like, but it does have its moments where I’m not a fan. Gladys Knight is a great singer, but the song didn’t fit the tone of the movie. It’s Bond going rogue. It should have been an 80s hard rock song by someone like Pat Benatar or Joan Jett. But it’s still Dalton, so I can’t complain too much. He’s still my favourite 007.

I consider this THE best Bond-movie, hands down. Timothy Dalton shines in this; this is HIS movie, his hour. He simply is Ian Fleming's James Bond. It might be dark as something, but that's what gives the movie such gravitas. Also big kudos to Sanchez and badass Pam Bouvier.

Pam Bouvier is the most underrated Bond woman. Probably because Licence to Kill is so underrated. She's feisty, she has her own mission separate to Bond's. She even saves Bond a few times. One of the best allies Bond has had to date.

I really enjoy your reactions. The film wasn't that successful at the time, especially in the US. Indeed, the poor marketing and the fact that the film was in cinema at the same time as Indiana Jones, Batman and Back to the Future if i'm not mistaken didn't help. I'm happy though that it have now the praise that it deserves. Timothy Dalton was very much ahead of his time and Licence to Kill is one of my favorites from the series. Edit : To this day, I think it is still one the most, if not the most dark and violent Bond movie to date.

Thank you Queen!... for an excellent movie reaction and commentary!
