Probably because he wasn’t cracking as many puns about Q’s gadgets than the others

Brosnan would wind him up but I liked their dynamic equally to this one

He did put a plastic explosive on his face and threatened to set it off.

I thought Moore was alright with Q.

Especially in License To Kil.

Oh yes!

@@LALakersNornIron but I feel sorry for Q I mean I do I saw the car and I was like oh my God muscle car for bond but then I thought oh no he’s gonna destroy it in boy he did and that was a Bomer

Really? Did he say why...

Vicrum he felt he most closely resembled Fleming’s idea of Bond

Subo23 I thought that might be the reason. He is right in thinking that as well. Even looks a lot like that drawing that Fleming did.

Did he like Connery’s bond? He is my favourite...

Makes sense. They had the best chemistry from the movies I've seen

He's in the Game Boy game

@@andreasbalaskas7292 I use it when the JWs come around..

Dibs on the Yorkie.

the pen top opens 100% of locks

thats sofa king funny

He did? That's amazing and very having committment.

he was a serious actor, classically trained and what not. And he took this job SUPER seriously. I don't think the results matched his effort. I love his two films and in 2024 I think the viewing public ranks them much higher in retrospect. But he should have had more films to work with.

Couldn't agree more. TD was my 007. ​@@patrick4662

a unit? What does that mean?

He is also a slasher... ... ... OF PRICES!

@@amosungar5248 CATCH ME LATER

Dalton is the sexiest bond 🥵🫠😍

Really I saw him on the theater back in the 80s. I smiled no blush to little bit I mean oh my God he is a stud of high caliber. I mean good Lord and his voice is like smooth, like milk chocolate oh my God in those eyes, I can swim in those forever and never get tired of it because at the end of the day, he is the most sexiest bond I’ve ever seen wow, God Timothy, you were the bomb

I say this as an almost completely heterosexual dude (only Bowie and Liam Neeson have ever made me consider otherwise, and one of those doesn't even count,) Timothy Dalton in his prime was one handsome bastard.

The soundtrack is fantastic.

How do you get it ?

Yeah it’s a great soundtrack, probably my favourite pre-Arnold score. Tho I have a soft spot for Bill Conti’s FYEO score.

I would have liked more focus on Brad Whittaker but other than that, great Bond movie

@@OFFtheCHIZANE Those two, along with Skyfall, are my absolute favourites as well. All of them work really well with the scenes and stir up all the right emotions!

The wolf whistle is for that one lock...

The thing is Licence To Kill didn't make the money that EON wished they did in the US. I think that played a factor on why Dalton only did 2.

greatwuta Legal issues were the cause. LTK’s performance wasn’t the reason for Dalton’s departure. He simply told Albert Broccoli that he wanted to do one more and step down, but they wanted him to do at least 4 or 5. He respectfully declined.

should have

@@greatwuta I think the problem was the 15 certificate. People didn't want a gritty violent Bond and it stopped most teenagers from seeing it. Plus the legal issues and the political situation changing also had something to do with it.

Craig above Connery is just Recency Bias. If you did a poll of Gen X during the Brosnan years they would have put him above Connery as well. It takes a few years to gain wisdom and perspective.

I know, is precious 🥵🫶😍

For Queen and country.

Got to haze the new guy in a very British manner.

Sadly Smithers is no longer with us

Their kind of hazing.

Snap!

So is this film

Davider Correct

I agree. Dalton has always been my favorite Bond aside from Connery and Craig. I grew up with Roger Moore, and I thought Brosnan was great, but Dalton, I think, is my favorite.

Dalton and Craig are my two favourites but Dalton just takes the top mark for me, by an hair. Very telling that Dalton (sadly) only did two movie and Craig is onto his fifth (and final)

Lee Croft "by a hair" indeed. Craig is great and all but... blonde? Seriously? No no no. They should have made him dye his hair black for the part. A blonde James Bond id just ... wrong

yes he could have done one more or two more films before Brosnan took over.

"ever'??????

@@prakashm1468 yes! ever! 🤣

That explains the blast Mark on the table!

troll randon It was originally written with Dalton in mind - especially the original script before Brosnan even started.

@@LexingtonDeville984 Hi your exactly it was written with Dalton, in mind

Michael Lawrence And Sean Bean wasn’t meant to be the bad guy. Anthony Hopkins, Alan Rickman and Jeremy Irons all turned down the role until Bean was cast as Alec Trevelyan.

@@LexingtonDeville984 Hi saw an article about that in 1994 they even wanted tom hanks as the villain he declined it too

troll randon Remington Steele contract made him back out, mate. What’s your point? I don’t want to be mean, but you Brosnan fanboys are ultra irritating.

Yeh definitely prettier to look at than the ugly grate on the DB5

Indeed it is - I was happy when it made an appearance in No Time To Die (sorry for the spoilers folks!)

@@Bikerz_rule that’s ok I wasn’t really going to watch it anyway 👍

@@Bikerz_rule it was in the trailer so no spoilers technically.

Definitely the best looking aston martin ever made its beautiful the db5 doesn't do it for me. This car is what every man wants in there lives 🙄

Dalton was a gem, simple and pretty, but elegant, the sexiest James Bond of all and I doubt there will ever be another as handsome, he deserved more movies

@@lauramLadyAnime❤️He sure is and I've always wondered if something else happened behind the scenes that may have been at play for that happening?🤔

I found it bizarre and ridiculous how some Bond fans criticized his accent. Um, the title character has been played by Scots, Australians and Irishmen so I heard Bond's voice with many different accents. Note: Dalton is Welsh. I thought his voice sounded like I would imagine Bond in real life. Many people who have read the novels say Dalton's performance is the most faithful to Fleming's work.

@@largol33t12 well because he was a fan of Flemings work, and when you’re a fan of the franchise that you were about ready to sign up for that means you know what you’re doing and I would meet him special is that he knew who bond was from the inside out and I’m sorry, but Daniel Craig does not fit the bill in my opinion in my opinion, he should’ve been casted as somebody who is like a bouncer or security Humanz the front door of a casino, or any other establishment does not bond Timothy Dalton will always will be, and it’s just sad that they gave him the boot, but good and it’s just sad that the culture of that time did not understand what he was doing and at least gave the poor man a chance on what he was trying to accomplish but at least we have two films to look back at and it’s just sad that there wasn’t a third or fourth I would’ve been out the theater for those numerous of times and I would’ve been happy

@@largol33t12 He's not Welsh. He was simply born there. He's English and grew up in England.

Probably more than that Nintendo deal ever did, I can guarantee you that.

All extremely entertaining and brilliant! I do think that Craig’s Bond and Q became more equals as the films went on which I liked, they reach a common ground with one another. I have my issues with No Time To Die, many in fact, but Q’s scenes were wonderful and his presence in both SPECTRE and that film reminded me very much of Desmond’s more active role in Licence to Kill!

Connery?

Then you gotta watch For Your Eyes Only. Moore can kill a guy in cold blood naturally when the script is right.

@@myscrnnm Roger Moore was the worst Bond. His character lacked that dangerous element and he was a clown most of the time.

@@stomp21 Are you for real? This is the same Bond who locked a guy in a drug container and left him to suffocate, let a guy fall off a building after interrogating him, shot a man in the nuts, stole another guy's parachute, pushed an injured man off a cliff, and smacked a guy in the face and let him fall off an airplane. Most of the other Bonds typically only kill in self defense.

@@myscrnnm I loved when he kicked the car of the cliff with the baddie inside (eventhough Sir Moore didn’t like it) and when he threw a knife at the baddie after falling off a train. Stonecold

Yeah, the Gadgets have always been deus ex machinas… Although they do get used differently than their intended purpose from time to time..!

@@AndorRadnai I love it when that happens!

i try to wonder scenarios these silly gadgets woul be useful in. A leg cast that fires a missle. A ghetto radio. A sofa that eats a guy. A phonebox that a cushion crushes a guy in etc

@@AzguardMike Exactly. I hope this silly scenes to never come back. They cant do the same movies for fifty years, 007 has to evolve. He is a elegant, cold and deadly assasin, a bit misogynits, never showing his emotions type of guy, 200% alpha. The rest is secundarious. Those gadgets look too stupid in 2021. Im also tired of villains who reveal their big plans with Bond atached to a bed with a laser pointing to him. Please, lets return to Casino Royale style.

Personally, I think Ben Wishaw's Q is proving to be just as witty as Desmomd Llewelyn was.

@@edwinreid8355 Yes, its true. I prefer the Casino Royale general tone. Much more grounded and realistic. 007 has an Aston with a medical kit and a special compartiment for guns, cool enough. We don't need a scene with a scientific showing it to James. Spectre was simply ridiculous.

Also Q should NEVER be younger than Bond. I don't care how brilliant an individual is, the head of a department in a major governmental agency would be in their mid 40s at the youngest. In monolithic bureacratic hierarchies it takes at least 20 years to rise to the head of a section. Q in the Craig movies looks like he still gets pimples.

Goldeneye all the way!

You mean before Daniel Craig it was Pierce Brosnan then it was Timothy Dalton.

@@hhds113 I’m talking about a darker and more serious portrayal of James Bond

He wasn’t my fav Bond either but he was not half bad.

Okay

To bad the bond films went through a hiatus after license to kill with Dalton because he would have done great in Golden Eye.

OK What Is Your Favourite Bond ??

@@tayeb007 the kind i have with your girlfriend.

Ain’t gonna happen. Young Q has been in 3 of the 4 DC Bond films, and they’ve never given him any time with being old school gadget Q, always techy nerd Q. ‘A modern Q for the modern Bond’

@@DrewSavo Craig movies never have any Q branch employee gag moments

Well I'm hoping Phoebe Waller Bridge don't mess up No Time To Die.

The car featured here does make an appearance, the Aston Martin Volante V8, so they clearly knew at least part of Bond's fanbase cite this as their fave film.

I didn't mind the tone of LTK. Unfortunately, the greatest flaw of the film is Bond himself. His characterization fluctuates throughout the film; depending on the scene, he's either an irritable jackass who pushes away his friends or he's the vintage, charismatic 007. He is also given a poor motivation to go rogue. Who cares about Felix or Della ? By the time film concludes, it ultimately didn't all matter because the crippled Felix doesn't give a shit that his bride was murdered and Bond is back in the service. The whole film is just a desperate attempt at playing catch up with Lethal Weapon and it's ilk.

I will never figure out why you hate Licence To Kill so much.

greatwuta Its too full of brutality for a Bond movie. Which is the main reason because i saw it for the first time when I was still pretty young and I dont have a good memory of it at all. And at that, Talisa Soto is not a good actress. You can see her lack of acting in nearly every scene she‘s in. Dalton and the villain are pretty good but I found the second half to be pretty boring too (From Bond‘s first attempt to kill Sanchez onwards) We didn‘t get a scene in which Felix said a proper and real thank you to Bond for revenging him and also no scene showcasing Felix mourning for his wife. I wish the filmmakers would also have gone deeper with his shark bite as well. Then, there are parts like the fight scene in the bar that feel out of place and more like they belong in a Tarantino western

Davider LTK dares to stray from the conventional Bond tropes. That’s why you don’t like it.

@@davider6884 I hear you Davider. I hear you.

Good lord, don't make me cry on a non-TWINE Q video-

It doesn't suck. I like this film but they are better 007 films than this for example, Licence To Kill is better than The Living Daylights.

@@greatwuta na you're crazy

Or in Bond's flat.

oh shoot
