Oh yes, the Bond franchise would have ended with Dalton - it almost did. Pierce brought the fun, elegance, and danger back to the character and proved that Bond could survive post Cold War

Of course he missed it. He did get job back in the 80s but lost it as Remington Steele was renewed despite cancellation.

@@alexpennymeme1905 Dalton wasn't the reason Bond was in development hell

@@SFNDMK Uhhhh I know? I'm stating that Dalton was the last Bond before Brosnan. Read again

Ive often wondered at 00:47 if there was another reason that Barbera and Michael got rid of pierce that neither side is still saying at this moment intime. It just seemed like they clashed and no one is saying what the real reason is yet. Mainly because I found it very random and out of the blue when they got rid of him in 2004/05

Roger Moore was Bond during my time too and I really like Roger Moore but Pierce Brosnan should've and could've played Bond for many many more films. If I'm not mistaken, I think Roger Moore personally picked PB to ne the next Bond after him. I can't stand Daniel Craig snd will never pay to watch him as Bond.

kazuma yup

He's the worst

@@warrenlung4290 actually the Daniel Craig's Bond films were a success because they grossed a total of 3 billion dollars over the 13 year period he's been playing the Bond.

@@emilio2647 It was actually Sean Connery's Bond that grossed the most money in todays money.

He is too old now bud.

no no I meant for back in 2005. It always sounded like something happened that niether Pierce or the producers are admitting to yet@@MrHalo087

That's an interesting point. Which bond had the biggest kill list I wonder ??

t606707808909 Brosnan’s films had the most onscreen kills

t606707808909 if you look at Moore’s films he had the second most onscreen Bond kills even though The Man With The Golden Gun had only one kill of the main villain.

most deadly, or deadliest. Pick one!

His Bond films had the highest body count and he was the most vicious. I say that because he killed women too, I think he's the one that did.

Damn he even said that like bond,the goat!

And we know who owns the business.

no doubt he is the best

he was indeed the best Bond

@@brent.b.productions2015 You Only Live Twice had Connery grew into his best Bond. The previous ones had a Bond that was a really cold fish. But in YOLT he had a warmer quality, and an actual smile, instead of a greasy sneer. Brosnan had that warmth, as well as being able to play the harder edge. A big plus is that PB was a Bond fan. He was, like Moore, also a gentleman off screen to the fans and media. Unlike Craig.

Yeah I've heard that Brosnan and Moore were really gentlemen off screen. The best two Bond by far!

I don't understand why people didn't appreciate Pierce... Everything about him was "James Bond".

That was a sad and sorry trend that I honestly never liked. It seemed just about every superhero, from Batman to bond had to have this ultra serious gritty realism makeover. Every action movie seem to want to be the Bourne identity. And what you got was over a decade of nothing but very serious not very fun series of action films. I still have not seen any of the Daniel Craig films, and while I did enjoy Batman begins, I was not a fan of the very serious tone. I'm hoping that we will eventually go back to the way the movies used to be fun and exciting escapism.

I was even more pissed when they replaced him with Craig.

The best bond? Yes. Best movies? No.

@@knephsabir3245 goldeneye is top 2 or 3 IMO. the rest, yes not so good.

@@papasmurf205 golden Top 3 but after that the writers/producers stop caring lol. My top 6 not in order ohmss,goldeneye,from Russia with love,living daylights,for your eyes only and skyfall.

Jason Fella yup

Good point. Brosnan deforest brought the swagger back as Moore was too humorous, even though he was a great actor.

Goldeneye was meant to be dalton but got replaced by pierce thats why its probably the darkest and best of brosnans bond films

Dalton even smoked in TLD! An unfashionable thing in the late 80s, but a huge call-back to the Bond of the books.

yeah man, they should have given him his $20,000,000 and made one last good Bond movie with him

He was originally supposed to replace Roger Moore as James Bond, but there were complications involving "Remington Steele" at the time, which was why the Bond producers went with Timothy Dalton and Pierce didn't play the role until "Goldeneye", four years after his wife Cassie died of ovarian cancer. She'd played a Bond girl in "For Your Eyes Only."

If he had done a Fifth movie, who should have been the director, music composer, heroine and singer of title track?

@@vishalnarayanasamy8767 he was supposed to do Casino Royale but got axed in favor of Daniel Craig

@@codezero7981 Casino Royale would've been awesome with Pierce Brosnan

that was the point of what they did. i mean casino royale is the first novel

Will Brock As long Fleming's Bond is played, the original Bond never dies. Casino Royale was the first novel, this was something really personal to Cubby's children, so they wanted to do the film right. Skyfall was the "original" Bond in everyway. He is a veteran at this point, Q's exploding pen remark showed he had his share of wacky gadgets, the DB5 is clearly not the same one from Casino Royale, just look at the driver's seat. It had the Goldfinger gadgets too. So yes, the Original Bond hasn't died. The movies themselves did not have much continuity. Casino Royale wasn't the first reboot in a Bond series, they rebooted with each new actor but the essence of 007 is there. The books had continuity, the movies just keep it limited that way the films stand on their own. I think Craig lives up to the past Bond's but brings something unique to the role that we get the origins of Bond and beyond.

LeaveMeAloneKZfaq well said

***** He did. He deserved better writing. I think the problem was that the filmmakers were afraid to go outside the formula. After Die Another Day they realize in order to survive there was no choice. Casino Royale was the perfect way to introduce new elements to the series while retaining the cinematic Bond we all know and love.

after the disaster that was die another day, they pretty well had to.

If they did the script to “nightfire” instead of die another day, his legacy as bond would have been looked at contemporarily entirely different.

Definitely agree that Everything or Nothing should have been Brosnans fifth film

actually they didn't fired him, his contract expired. he was still interested in reprising his role, they were even in negotiation for Casino Royale. but by that point he was already a established actor, so hring him would had cost them at least 10 million. and since he and his movies were also suffering from a lot of negative response. Eon probably thought that hiring a newcomer would be wise. and they came up with Daniel Craig then again it would been cool to see Brosnan in a gritty direction, instead of all that futuristic crap

Unfortunately, Brosnan got shafted right from the very start. Goldeneye only had a high amount of sophistication to it because they were banking on Dalton returning. Brosnan did well in the movie and is gripping in dramatic moments. But, for his next Bond movie he's given a hackneyed media empire satire with scenery chewing from Jonathan Pryce. From then on, he never could convince as serious because the silly tone had been set. Everything or Nothing is my favourite Bond thing in ANY medium- a fantastically fun and polished game! What a shame that it was too late as Die Another Day had already been made.

@@Picnicl yes, and the script for TND was a disaster, changed on a daily basis. Then they do him in by casting Denise Richards in TWINE, which he was trying to turn into a lower key, darker Bond. Finally we had the overblown mess that was DAD. Can you imagine Craig being saddled with the script and casting issues that Brosnan had? Maybe Cubby liked Brosnan more than his kids did, and once Cubby passed they were already looking to move on. It really did seem like the producers were trying to undermine his movies. The decisions they made were truly head scratching.

Tashrif Alam Dalton was amazing

Ike N you don’t follow Bond at all he didn’t leave the role until 1994 and has made some film appearances and was doing tv appearances but mostly stage and theater work which he enjoyed doing. Dalton resigned from playing James Bond in 1994 as he was fed up with the delays due to legal ligations preventing Bond films from being produced from 1989 to 1994. Also by Dalton when he was offered to be in GoldenEye he was offered he multi picture deal and turned that down as he felt too old to keep playing any more after Goldeneye and decided to other stage and tv work.

Dalton is my least fav he doesn't even look suve he looks deranged my list goes Rodgers Moore second is Sean I know that's backwards but farrrrr last it that corney as Dalton

Exactly

I really liked Dalton in "The Living Daylights." When Brosnan lost out on the role the first time around, I was glad they cast Dalton. He's underrated. People name Lazenby as a good Bond before they mention Dalton, and I have no idea why.

what is he now, 60? no bloody way.

Fenrir TheDarkWolf he is 65 now and won’t be back

Scott Knode I mean he did November man which was very bondish he could still do it

static clutch yes Brosnan wouldn’t be allowed as producers wanted a younger Bond and did this with Moore as he was getting too old to keep playing and he retired after A View To a Kill was released but executives said they wouldn’t have let Moore keep going had Moore not retired as thought he was too old to be Bond. Brosnan was let go by Producer Barbara Broccoli in favor of a younger actor and rebooting the series in 2004/2005 when Casino Royale was in pre production and in production in 2005 for 2006 release.

static clutch November Man was a good movie showing he could still pull off James Bond but he said in a interviews he will never work for Barbara Broccoli and Eon Productions again as was angry he was let go.

JAMES BOND FAN 007 ok coming from someone who used James Bond Fan 007 as there name. Most fans like myself enjoyed each actor for their interpretations of the role and Brosnan was a good Bond actor one of my favorites he was not given that best scripts and Goldeneye was his best and darkest movie as Bond.

@@scottknode898 Yes, Goldeneye, which was initially devised with Timothy Dalton in mind.

Daniel Craig will never be considered apart of that group. First of all JAMES BOND has dark eyes and dark hair. END OF. He is not a blond haired blue eyed waxed metrosexual.

@@fdannn6926 Bond does not have dark eyes. Big mistake on your side. Ian Fleming clearly states that Bond has "blue-grey eyes".

I still do not see "James Bond" in Craig. Brosnan, Moore and Connery were just straight up what James Bond was suppose to look like and sound like imo.

I love Daniel Craig in 007 but like the others say I’m sorry but he doesn’t fit the picture like Connery or Brosnan do.

@@erikgonzalez2619 actually Timothy Dalton was one one the best besides Connery and Brosnan.

+Jacob Sloand What does that mean bond period?

+Jordan Carrington I mean he is one of the best James bonds along with connery,moore,and craig

+Jacob Sloand Okay. Cool!

having your period?

@@Spieel Bond, comma. Brosnan's iconic moment as Bond is when he emerges from Hong Kong harbor, and walks into the hotel looking like Robinson Crusoe. The earlier Connery couldn't have done it, because he would have just have had the sneer. It was only later that SC developed his Bond with a real smile.

sounds gay bro

@@barrychuckleisdead7345 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 this made me chuckle

My favorite Bond..suave, great hair style & looks good on what ever clothes put on.

TWINE is underrated but for DAD only the first 40 or so were decent could’ve been his License to Kill.

well TWINE and DAD did better at the boxoffice than GE and TND wasnt too far behind, so some people certanly liked those movies

@@DafyddBrooks *Some* liked them means nothing. Some people like anything

@redram5150 then people watching goldeneye means nothing then, when it actually does. I don't like DAD but it did very well because they grew up with brosnan and couldn't wait to see the biggest bond yet. The bourne identity and bond are different things when compared to one another and while there were those who didn't like DAD being over the top but they didn't want it being like Bourne. The decision to get rid of brosnan and restart had nothing to do with seeing DAD in a bad light or a failure or because of the Bourne identity. There's numerous other accounts of this whole situation and not just what was said on the EON doc

@@DafyddBrooks cool story, guy. Any more lousy copes you need to share?

@redram5150 christ I'm Only sharing a piece of trivia that there's a whole misconception about brosnans era of bond that's commonly not known about. Really regret having a conversation with you now if your gonna be like that

Diego V this game never gets old

fabianboesch96 Now play it on my cellphone with a gamesir g3s gamepad. fucking funtastic

I loved Remington Steele when I first watch it in 1985. I said he would be the next James Bond and everyone laughed at me. Got into a fight in school for that. 😂😂😂

Brosnan raging with masculinity? You must be kidding. He was the most effeminate of them all. But he had the best acting skills, in my humble opinion, which made up for that.

I am a female who climbed down from the trees and left the jungle for many years ago. Masculinity for me is on another level.

AndreaKSweden You are lovely. I wish I could find women like you to date.

Averagebum Bum You keep on about Brosnan being "effeminate". Look the word up. Sure, he was good-looking... maybe to the extent of my understanding some 'pretty boy' type of slur... but "effeminate" is ridiculous. The... I don't know... mincing... it implies is way off as an accurate description of Brosnan's Bond. Personally I've enjoyed all the different Bonds though I have to say that the two who are described as the most 'masculine' (Connery and Craig) while brilliant as action film heroes are the least true to the essence of Fleming's character. A bit too common. Or, as Andrea K's wonderful Bond description has it (and nails it), not uncommon enough.

blackmore4 From Dictionary.com: Effeminate: (Ajd) 1.(of a man or boy) having traits, tastes, habits, etc., traditionally considered feminine, as softness or delicacy. 2. characterized by excessive softness, delicacy, self-indulgence, etc.: effeminate luxury. That's exactly what I meant. He's the opposite of macho, as James Bond or Remington Steele. I felt he had by far the best acting skills though, and could portray emotions, the gravity of a situation, and suaveness in the minutest of facial expressions, like none of the other Bonds. It is these acting skills that I felt made up for his lack of macho-ness. But I wouldn't argue about the precision of his acting to Fleming's Bond character, as the last time I read snippets of Bond was more than 20 years ago, and I can't remember them very well.

Hmmm I would agree with you. Also, that is a very nice youtube name you got.

+robert szvetics i think you can't say who is good and who is bad. everyone has a different opinon, other than lazenby being terrible.

should have

sultanabran1 lazenby was not a actor its the most scewed up casting i ever seen replacing sean connery with a guy who never acted in his life on top of that a total cry baby who had alot of growing up to do and who couldnt get along with his co star diana rigg.

Only....shame George Lazenby ( was not an actor, cry baby blah blah) voted the best ever James Bond, by JB fans.. OHMSS still the most watched.

jaxbax Connery was finished as bond by then . Even if he played it , would of only been a half hearted effort from him

That’s why he refuses to watch his bond movies because they did him dirty 😢

He watched Goldeneye again recently. Says nothing topped it. @@dogpd3

Actually Remington Steele ended in 1987 when The Living Daylights was released and Brosnan was originally cast as Bond but couldn’t get out of contract in 1986 because of Remington Steele. Dalton was cast and took over from Roger Moore when he retired. Brosnan didn’t become Bond until 1994 after Dalton resigned to play Bond again for Goldeneye

Yeah, I like Craig as an actor, but after Casino Royale the movies became monotonously grim, and I've gotten tired of hearing Craig whine about playing the role. Can't imagine him doing a Casino Royale watchalong for fans in 25 years.

A lot of the bind actors felt the same. Connery was bored and hated, Lazenby couldn't stand the press. And Dalton was bemused by how he was treated as some super hero

That would be neat, never seen him in a suave role. He might've been interesting to watch in Casino Royal.

Owen has little or no intentional lightness of touch, comparitively. He'd be one note.

He felt he was to young

But she is delicious....

I never got the hate, she's hot so she's got my vote

Butter Johnson Sophie Marceau was the main Bond woman not Denise Richards and Marceau had second billing even over Robert Caryale

you must be in another world then. All I hear is that Craig is apparently flawless and that everything about Brosnan, including Goldeneye apparently is either 'average' or 'dire.' Hey at least Brosnan, like the other Bonds before him wasn't a charmless, melancholic and sometime straight up rookie that is largely Craig'

Andrew Shaw I said "people sometimes" the key word being "SOMETIMES" here.

With Brosnans I ever hear they were the worst or the best not many in between. I happen to think that they are pretty bad. Golden Eye over rated. Die another day is abysmal.

When Daniel Craig's Bond portrayal first appeared, I admittedly applauded both the serious and different approach of both his and his first film. It was like the return of the Dalton style for us original fans of his that have lamented his loss when he was cut short by the legal issues that caused one of the great tragedies in film. And I had it figured that "Casino Royale" would be treated with real care and attention to eliminate wholly that embarrassing ridiculousness that was the '67 spoof film. But the problems that I have had with the Craig era since is that they never changed the style and they never have evolved his character; he has always been roguish and brutish and, yes, melancholic, like he was in "Royale". Furthermore, the films themselves are not as enjoyable upon repeated viewings which should not ever be said with Bond films; I watch it, say I like it, and then am not be interested in watching it again. They do not possess the same heart or essence as the earlier films. I do not think that the productions have to return to their styles of thirty or forty years ago, but I think that something more can be done than to make them look like the Bourne or Impossible films and continue what I think has been an ill-conceived storyline arc idea.

theearthmovesagain Hey, you are talking with someone who enjoys Die Another Day. I don't intend to demean Brosnan lol.

+ForeverBlueKnight yup..Sean did it for the $$$$$$$...he sucked as 007...overrated Scot thug with a toupee

+Neil Parga Connery was very poorly paid for his Bond films,so don't condemn him for wanting to make himself a little pension money. "Overrated Scot thug with a toupee"?. Well you got the "toupee" bit right. Sad post. Perhaps your girlfriend/wife had a hard on for him. Many women did.

+brian morgan Neil is just a weirdo hardcore Dalton bond fanboy

Craig is coming back and will be releasing his new Bond film in 2020 for his 5th appearance

***** but he was upper class or at least lower upper where as the current bond imposter is middle class at best . He wasn`t a hardman , a cold blooded killer the two are not the same . this is poor casting at best

***** timothy dalton in licence to kill was a cold blooded killer he is the best bond in my opinion

***** timothy dalton in licence to kill was a cold blooded killer he is the best bond in my opinion

Iceviz A lot of people didn't like Timothy Dalton as OO7 but I always thought he made a great James Bond. I didn't know this until recently but Dalton did not want to be OO7 and only agreed to play the part until they found a more permanent character for the role, which turned out to be Pierce Brosnan who I also thought made a great Bond.
