No one does Bond reactions like Jen Murray. What a delight she is.

As a Norwegian James Bond fan, I feel very proud that one of my favorite bands, Norway's most famous pop/rock band and one of Europe's best 1980s band a-ha had the honor of making the soundtrack to "The Living Daylight". ❤🇧🇻 a-ha became the first non-British and non-American artist/band to record a James Bond soundtrack, in Bond history.

Timothy Dalton is my favorite Bond, and I am a massive Bond fanatic, but even still, by far and away my favorite role of his is Simon Skinner in Hot Fuzz.

Next one he gets darker, but that was the way Ian Fleming wrote bond and imagined bond to be and Timothy Dalton pulled it off perfectly.

This was John Barry's final Bond score. He definitely ended his run on the highest of notes.

“Oh I think that’s him. He’s dashing❤” Very accurate reaction to the absolute perfection that is Timothy dalton

This film was released in 1987 at the height of the AIDS crisis and the whole scare surrounding it, which is why Bond is much less of a lothario in this film and only beds one woman. I actually think it works to the film's advantage, since it makes Bond and Kara's relationship feel more genuine and meaningful compared to most of his other one-off flings, which is definitely one of the film's best attributes. Aside from that, this is a highly underrated Bond film, it's get fantastic action and stunts, a surprisingly complex and interesting plot, one hell of a killer soundtrack (the last in the series to be done by the late great John Barry), and of course Timothy Dalton as Bond. He's honestly a fantastic Bond, and truly ahead of his time; audiences weren't ready to accept his dark and less jokey take on the character at the time, but after Daniel Craig did something similar with his films to great success, Dalton's been reappraised and rightfully seen for the excellent 007 that he is

I’m totally here for Jen’s “cool dance moves” and “wisdom nuggets” 😊

Dalton has a long film career. Notable movie performances in addition to the Bond films include The Lion in Winter, Flash Gordon, The Rocketeer, and Hot Fuzz. There’s a 1983 BBC version of Jane Eyre with him that he’s wonderful in even if he’s probably too handsome for the part. He’s also an incredibly accomplished stage actor.

Love love love _TLD._ My #1 Bond flick. A grounded, witty Cruz Smith/Le Carre-esque Cold War thriller w/ _Die Hard-level_ action, & a rare feel-good ending. Connery was the "cinema Bond"; Moore, the "Saturday matinee Bond" - Dalton is the "grim, literary Bond". Always impresses how John Glen upped his game from OP/AVTAK.

Yes bond reactions with Jen are always my favourite. Even though he only played as James Bond twice. I though Timothy Dalton played a great James Bond, this movie and license to kill is in my top 10 favourites

The assassin in this film is actor/dancer Andreas Wisenewski. He also played in Die Hard(1988). His character was the first terrorist McClane killed, who happened to be Karl's brother. Great review!

Timothy Dalton is a classically trained Shakespearean stage actor in addition to his starring movie roles and television appearances. He stars alongside Simon Pegg in "Hot Fuzz" (2007) ~ a comedy police action/drama/murder mystery movie which is very well liked and worth a reaction IMHO. Really good reaction Jen, your excitement and enthusiasm for Bond is very enjoyable for us watching along. Can't wait until you hit the Brosnan Bonds. 🤩

Always have a soft spot for this one as it is the first Bond film I saw in the cinema. The Mujahideen leader, Kamran Shah, was played by Art Malik, whom you may remember as the villain from True Lies.

The 4th of 5 Bond films, directed by John Glen. Timothy Dalton was my ideal Bond as an kid and I understood the Bond character better. Dalton was first approached to play Bond at age 25 for On Her Majesty Secret Service (after Connery, before Lazenby). Although he was a fan of the novels, Dalton declined to the role because he knew he was too young to play the role. When Roger Moore was done being Bond, Pierce Brosnan (pre-Goldeneye) was prepared for The Living Daylights. The Remington Steele tv series (Brosnan was the lead) on NBC was going to end. But NBC actually greenlit another season and Brosnan couldn't be in the movie. Franchise producer Albert Broccoli remembered Dalton from when OHMSS was being developed and got him casted for TLD after finishing 2 other films. Dalton does play Bond at 95% of who the character is. The Aston Martin V8 was my first, favorite Bond car. The theme song by A-Ha and the 2 songs by The Pretenders, so good. If anything, Timothy Dalton had to walk as 007, so that Daniel Craig could run.

JennyPenny has such a beautiful angelic singing voice!

The Living Daylights is in my top ten Bond films. It's such a breath of fresh air after the silliness of the last couple of Moore movies. Great reaction Jen!

Love the way that you become so absorbed , your enthusiasm is infectious and your movie accent is adorable . You get your explosions , your kissing , the works, all in one movie !

The scenes playing in Czechoslovakia were actually also shot in Vienna (my home city by the way😁), so for the respective scenes they had to swap all the Austrian license plates (except for Bond's) for Czechoslovakian ones. There aren't any mountains between Bratislava and Vienna. However when they pass the border, they cross an alpine landscape. Also the movie seems to take place in late summer or early autumn, but in the mysterious mountain scene we magically have got winter. When the then mayor of Vienna - who seems to have been quite a "James Bond" fan - heard about the film project, he provided his support. With a wink he even gave allowance, that if it was necessary for the movie to blow up some Viennese subway stations, the team was permitted to do so.😁

This was the 1st Bond movie I ever saw in theaters! After reading Fleming's novels I've appreciated Dalton's 007 portrayal.

The sniper rifle Bond uses at the beginning is the Walther WA 2000, an expensive semiautomatic precision weapon made by the same manufacturer of Bond’s Walther PPK. Doesn’t show up in movies very often

Jen, guess who was supposed to take over for Roger Moore. Pierce Brosnan, in the next upcoming Bond series when you are done with "Licence to Kill." He was tied up with the show "Remington Steele" and wasn't able to break his contract. When Dalton didn't work out... Pierce was back in action.

Timothy Dalton, my favourite 007, shame he only played Bond twice ❤❤

Timothy Dalton has had a wild career. He has leading man looks, but frequently chose character roles. Among some really good Dalton roles: - Neville Sinclair in 'The Rocketeer' (1991) - He plays an Errol Flynn type of actor in 1940s Hollywood...to say more would spoil things. - Prince Barin of Arboria in 'Flash Gordon' (1980) - Based on the 1930s comic strip, with a song score by Queen, and a really amazing cast...this is cheesy, but amazing. One of my all-time favorites! - King Philip II of France in 'The Lion In Winter' (1969) -- This one is awesome with Katherine Hepburn in one of her Oscar-winning roles as Eleanor of Aquitaine, Peter O'Toole as King Henry II of England, and Anthony Hopkins as Prince Richard the Lionheart. - Group Captain Peter Townsend (ret) in the fifth season of 'The Crown' - Rhett Butler in 'Scarlett' a sequel to 'Gone With the Wind', was a made-for-TV miniseries with Joanne Whalley (Willow) as Scarlett O'Hara. It was decent, not outstanding...but he did a great Rhett Butler without being Clark Gable. - Donald Whitfield in '1923' (a prequel to 'Yellowstone' just renewed for a second season) He is the third James Bond actor to share screen time with Harrison Ford...Sean Connery in 'Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade' and Daniel Craig in 'Cowboys and Aliens' are the other two. There was only one Bond girl in this one, and it was partly due to pressure in Hollywood to lessen sexual content that was "promiscuous" due to the AIDS epidemic, which was still really big at the time. This meant that Bond had to be more reserved, and Dalton was on board with not doing tons of love scenes with different actresses.

Absolutely adore Timothy Dalton as James Bond!

Timothy Dalton was a brilliant villain in The Rocketeer and even better in Hot Fuzz

Dalton has always been my favorite Bond, just sucks that he never did another. He was supposed to do Goldeneye, but because of delays of shooting the movie because of lawsuits, by the time the studio was ready to finally film it, Dalton’s contract had expired. They wanted Dalton back but wanted him to do 4 or 5 more films. Dalton didn’t want to spend the rest of his life doing these films and declined, even though he said he wanted to do at least 1 more movie.

This is one of my favourites, and I don't mind the change in tone at all. Probably the closest to Ian Fleming's Bond - more spy stuff and a little less goofy, but still lots of action and fun. And Timothy Dalton is a great actor who pops up in all kinds of things - keep Flash Gordon on the list for when you're in a silly mood!

This is a good one, but "Licence to Kill" is even better.

Dalton had a great turn as Rochester in Jane Eyre 1983 mini and Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights in 1971. Also played Rhett Butler in Scarlett: The Sequel to Gone With the Wind mini. He's so good in period clothes. Swoon.

Timothy Dalton is a perfect poem, his eyes😍, his voice😋, his hair☺️, his complexion🥵, is a pretty great actor🥵, an underrated bond, he deserved more bond's films. This man looks like a prince 😘 Timothy Dalton 😋🥵🫠😘❣️

Dalton was always my favorite...AND he insisted on doing most of his own stunts!

I was introduced to James Bond during the Roger Moore era, went back and read the books, then watched the Sean Connery movies. Timothy Dalton is the most literary Bond of all of the Bonds, thus my favorite. EDIT: The rifle you were enamored with in the beginning 5:19 is the Walther WA 2000.

My favourite Bond movie. It has everything one expects and more. A riveting plot, great characters, global locations, the best Bond Car bells and whistles (Missiles and Lasers), incredible music and a stunning Bond girl. Timothy Dalton, to me, is the best Bond ever! It's a pity he did only two movies. Edit: The Soundtrack needs a special mention. John Barry's last Bond movie I think and the music is just about the best among all the 25 movies.

I liked how this brought back Bond to his darker roots, without sacrificing great action, stunts, and gadgets, with the humor limited to quips, vs Moore’s “dad jokes”.

24:56 one of the greatest scenes in all of James Bond movies. That interrogation scene makes Dalton's James Bond such a professional, ruthless assassin who is willing to do anything to get the right info.

Timothy Dalton is a great actor. He plays James Bond in a More serious vain like Daniel Craig. As far as I know that's how James Bond is portrayed in Ian Fleming's books. He did this one & License to Kill (1989) too. The theme song in this - is by a-Ha. a-Ha is 1 of my favorite pop-bands from the 80's. They had some great songs like 'Take on Me' (great music video too) and 'The Sun always shines on T.V. Timothy Dalton also played 'Prince Baron' in the Flash Gordon movie (1980). That movie is a lot of fun and the band 'Queen' did the soundtrack for the movie. Their music in the movie was Awesome !!! Cheers Jen......

Nice work Jen! Two things- firstly there was 2 girls if you count the girl on the boat in the opening credits. Secondly this was made when the AIDS epidemic was at it's height and it was a deliberate choice to make a less promiscuous Bond in that context. Looking forward to you swooning over Timothy's next Bond outing! 😀

Your enthusiasm for these films is great

A-ha did the theme song. Also dis the groundbreaking "take on me" and "the sun always shines on TV" Which was the first ever record single I bought age 10ish

The 15th fantastic Bond reaction! Can’t tell you how exciting it was when this came out and we saw a more “realistic” kind of Bond action… so I’m really happy that you enjoyed it. The next outing is an outstanding one!!! Can’t wait;)

This one has the cutest Moneypenny I think! I'm a sucker for glasses tho lol! 🤓❤

I see you noticed the new Moneypenny. She's played in this film and "Licence to Kill" by Caroline Bliss. Another new one will come along for the Brosnan films of this franchise.

Dalton is definitely one of the prettier Bonds. Before this, I think I'd only seen Dalton in "The Lion in Winter" ('68) and "Flash Gordon" ('80). After his time as James Bond, I remember his roles in "The Rocketeer" ('91), "Hot Fuzz" ('07), and handful of episodes of the TV series "Chuck" ('07-'12), and a regular part on "Penny Dreadful" ('14-'16). They toned down the zaniness from the Roger Moore movies, going for a more serious atmosphere... and I think Dalton did a fine job with what he was given... but the scripts were just... so-so. They didn't really catch on with the public, and Dalton was out after just two movies.

FINALLY...MY Favorite Bond Era Begins!! 👍 Great to See You too, Jen, and I hope you're having a Good Day!! 💖

Best Bond theme. I will not be taking questions.

Fun fact: the different double O's at the very beginning were cast with actors who looked like prior James Bonds (George Lazenby, Roger Moore) so they could toy with the audience expectations of what the new James Bond would look like.

Pierce Brosnan was originally going to play James Bond 007, but turned it down to star in the hit NBC series Remington Steele. Sam Neill, Mel Gibson, Michael Nader, Bryan Brown, Finlay Light, And Andrew Clarke were considered for the role as well.

Dalton has been in movies since the 60s, 1st film I saw him in was The Lion in Winter with Peter O'Toole, Katherine Hepburn, and Anthony Hopkins. But a personal favorite of mine is the 1980 movie Flash Gordon where he plays Prince Barin.

Glad you finally gave the great John Barry an award for the music Jen. One of the greatest multi Oscar, Grammy & BAFTA film composers in cinema history. Fitting that he also made a cameo appearance near the end because, as mentioned in the comments, it was his last time scoring for the Bond films.

45:02 - Dalton's portrayal of Bond is more ruthless, to-the-point, no-nonsense, and gets the job done. Also this was the 1980's when the Cold War was at its peak and the concept of a spy defecting to an enemy country was a very real thing that happened often. I'd say the Dalton and Brosnan flicks are my absolute favorite!

Prior to this, Dalton was better known as a stage actor, and did a lot of Shakespeare. Post-Bond, he mostly went back to stage work, but has also had a career playing mostly supporting characters and villains in both film and television.

Dalton is definitely one of my favourite Bond's. I like his more serious take on the character.

I am so glad you’re enjoying the James Bond Films so much! It’s refreshing! Keep up the awesome reactions Jen! Funny and hilarious as always!

Dalton was the most experienced Bond, acting-wise having a Shakespearean background. He was originally considered around 1971, but was thought to be too young.

Dalton is definitely high on my list of Bonds. Charming and ruthless, and especially the balance of somebody visibly holding themselves under tight control, but also occasionally losing that control. Bond _should_ always be a slightly tragic figure...

Dalton is ... Very handsome, very charismatic, very cool??😂😂 I thought of him as tough guy angry young man Bond. I wonder what's your take on Pierce Brosnan's Bond. Btw I love all of your reactions. Keep it going ❤

I love how enthusiastic you are Jen. It’s so enjoyable to watch the sheer pleasure you get from these. You really get the Bond films.

A lot of people don't realise that Timothy Dalton is technically a Welsh actor, as he was born in the North Wales seaside town of Colwyn Bay. So that means that we have had Scottish (Connery), Irish (Brosnan), Welsh (Dalton) and English (Craig) actors as James Bond, plus George Lazenby an Australian actor.

Jen talking about Timmy D. being dashing is my life elixir. My day has now gotten 10 times better already. I am 110% gay for Timothy Dalton as Bond and hearing you talk about how he's the most "your type" out of the Bonds so far made me really happy, hahaha.

Jen's Bond reactions are the best things on KZfaq. And a tip of the hat to the editor who adds all the quirky fun. This is one of my favorite Bond movies. Maryam d'Abo lights up the screen. Timothy Dalton is very underrated, He's my 3rd favorite Bond behind Connery and Pierce Brosnan. He brought some needed seriousness to the role after Roger Moore's over-quipping and quasi-campiness, while keeping the sophistication and gadgetry that seemed to get lost in Daniel Craig's incantation. The title song was by the group A-ha, who also had a big hit with "Take On Me".

I remember Timothy Dalton as Prince Barron in "Flash Gordon". In one scene he is chained to a dungeon wall with Topol(For your eyes only). He turns to Topol and says "Tell me more of this man Houdini." Don't worry about Q, he has several more movies to appear in.

A woman after my own heart! I did the same thing as you about a year ago, just marathoned all the Bond films, watching most of them for the first time. Dalton is criminally underappreciated as Bond! Both of his films are in my personal top 10 Bond films, with License to Kill being second only to Goldeneye! Fun fact: I've been reading the original Bond novels lately and Dalton's Bond is without a doubt the closest to book Bond! Also, I highly recommend watching Never Say Never Again at some point! I know some view it as "non-canon", but, if you miss Connery's Bond, it is a pretty good send-off for him, better than Diamonds Are Forever!

This notification scared... the living daylights out of me

Thimothy Dalton plays a great Bond. You did forget about one girl. The woman from the opening scene :). You ask what else he is in. May I suggest you watch "The Rocketeer" from 1991, you would definitely enjoy it as Thimothy Dalton plays in it.

Maybe you didn't notice, but general Gogol actor has appeared since From Russia with Love, first as an Spectre tugh, then as a KGB member. This was his final appareance. As always, a great reaction. Loved it.

The parrot that appeared in this movie also appeared in For Your Eyes Only and was once owned by Diana Rigg who played Tracy in on her majesty's secret service. Also other films starring Timothy Dalton worth checking out include Flash Gordon, The Rocketeer and Hot fuzz.

The rifle was a Walther WA-2000. it was designed as a police sniper rifle, not military. It's really heavy. The thing on his hand was a shooting glove. They are kind of like a soft cast so you can support the rifle with out grabbing it. Grabbing can change the point of aim. It's usually used for standing, off-hand rifle competitions. Smiert Spionem was part of From Russia with Love, and mentioned in Octopussy. Dalton was also in The Rocketeer from the 90's which was a really fun movie. He was also in Hot Fuzz, which is seriously worth a reaction. For the Greater good. This one had a really deep plot for a bond movie. I thought this was great when it came out. His allies at the end were the Taliban, so that didn't age well. The jeep getting pulled out of the plane is real, except the part where you drive out. You'll see General Whittaker in a little bit in a different role.

This movie is awesome. I like all the ones with a brand new Bond, even Lazenby in On Her Majesty's Secret Service.

To answer your question at around 14:50, Timothy Dalton also played Prince Barin in Flash Gordon, the one with the Queen soundtrack that came out in 1980-81 (somewhere around that time). He's been in a few other things, but that's the only one that comes to mind right away. It's definitely a film you should put on your list - it's an extremely cheesy movie, but it's the best kind of cheese - I love that movie for how fun it is. It also stars Topol, who was the pistachio-eating Greek in an earlier Bond film, as well as Richard O'Brien, who wrote and starred in The Rocky Horror Picture Show (he plays Riff-Raff).

Probably unintentional, but since this was John Berry's last 007, it's kind of fitting that the Bond girl was a musician. He even cameos as Kara's orchestra conductor.

This movie came out in 1987, which was the 25th anniversary of the film series. Dalton didn't really get a fair chance at the time, but he's gotten more respect for his turn as Bond over time. If you go back to the novels, Dalton is the most literal Bond. He actually fits the physical description of Bond as described by Fleming of any of the actors. They originally wanted Pierce Brosnan at the time, but he was doing the tv show "Remington Steele" and the producers wouldn't let him out of his contract. So, he would have to wait to play the role. Just as they do with each actor, they updated the series to fit the times. Since they went with a younger actor, it definitely made sense to recast Moneypenny.

I love The Living Daylights. It's up there in my Top 5 Bond films. The theme song is awesome and John Barry's score is one of his best.

I liked Daltons Bond, you can see him in the comedy film "Hot Fuzz" with Simon Pegg, well worth a watch.

To answer your question about the continuity, with each movie through Pierce Brosnon continuity is shared. They don't mention the wife each time, but she is mentioned. As for Timothy Dalton his other most notable role is in the Flash Gordon movie from the 80s. It's pretty cheesy,but a lot of fun. You may enjoy it.

Timothy Dalton was a character in THE ROCKETEER

As for what Dalton did besides the Bond movies: He's a classically trained actor and has had many great runs at the theater. A Shakespearean thespian one might say. He also played supporting characters in a bunch of 80s and 90s movies, such as Flash Gordon and The Rocketeer. And very memorably, he was in Hot Fuzz. Over the last decade or so, he has mostly been working in television, including the Showtime series Penny Dreadful (which is awesome).

Loved your reaction as you enter the next phase of James Bond actors. To me Timothy Dalton's portrayal of 007 is most like Ian Fleming's master spy of his novels. Intense, poised and witty, and a cold-blooded killer when necessary. Cast note: Art Malik who played the imprisoned Afghan warlord Kamran Shah is also outstanding as the evil Salim Abu Aziz in James Cameron's True Lies.

Timothy Dalton known for: Bond, Rocketeer, Doom Patrol (TV), Toy Story 3 n 4, Hot Fuzz, Tales from Earthsea, and lots of cameos and parts in TV and other movies.

3:29 One of my favorite "Bond, James Bond" deliveries. It's almost like Dalton said it purely out of obligation, which kinda made it funny to me

I love following you on your James Bond journey. It’s been awesome! Now on to Licence to kill, a very dark installment in the series and over time one of my favorites. Maybe in part because the first half is set and filmed in my favorite place Key West. Great scene at the Earnest Hemingway house, with the polydactyl (Hemingway) cats and Timothy Dalton giving a nod to Hemingway’s “A farewell to Arms”, when told to turn over his weapon. Also Robert Davi plays a great villain and just like everything else about this movie a very underrated theme song by Gladys Knight.

Girl, you have good taste, I've always loved. Timothy Dalton to me, hes the most handsome, and hes the most charming bond of all.

Always loved how the woman on the boat was complaining how bored she was, like a Jeep hadn't just exploded mid-air next to her 60 seconds previously!

When she is saying "we are going to Vienna, they already filmed the parts before in Vienna"

Your reactions are so good, and never fail to cheer me up! You're fast approaching the Brosnan era, which is "my" Bond era, and I can't wait!

This is one of my favorites, the music and serious but still bombastic tone being my favorite aspects. Another interesting bond review to enjoy. A lot to appreciate in this one.

Timothy Dalton also did a guest spot on "Doctor Who," in David Tennant's final episode "The End of Time."

Timothy Daltan was also in PENNY DREADFUL. A series with Eva Green. He also played the Chief in DC's DOOM PATROL series. But aside from these and his 007 films, I remember him as the villain in Disney's THE ROCKETEER. My favorite Daltan movie is 007 LICENSE TO KILL. 😁 -OG

The Living Daylights is a short story by the late Ian Fleming. The original plot of it is Bond deliberately shoot to miss the female assassin at the window due to his gut instincts; the rest of the movie plot was fleshed out by the screen writers. By the way TLD heralded 25 years of the James Bond franchise from 1962 to 1987. Which explains why there was a new Bond and a new Miss Moneypenny. There were also more than one song composed for this particular bond movie.

The only other thing I really know Timothy Dalton from is Hot Fuzz and he is absolutely amazing in that. Definitely in the running for smuggest performance of all time. Hot Fuzz actually kinda helped convince me to give his Bond a chance, and I really loved his balance of gritty but funny. He's also in the Rocketeer and Flash Gordon, but not as the lead, and while I haven't seen those movies I don't think anyone ever complains about his presence in them. I'm very excited for Licence to Kill, in my opinion Dalton gets a better villain to go up against and gets to make the role his own a bit more

this is my favorite James Bond movie of all time and Timothy Dalton is my favorite James Bond actor

THE NAME IS DALTON! T I M O T HY DALTON! Lol. I am a lifelong Bond fan, & Dalton plays 007 closest to the Ian Fleming (author of the 007 novels) literary Bond. Connery made the character his own (but not according to Fleming.) Fleming did not aporove of Connery for the role, but later came to like Connery's portrayal. So enjoy the next Dalton movie!!! And thanks again for your wonderful questions, insights, and commentary. By the way, Moneypenny for Dalton is sooo gorgeous! Lol So fun to watch movies with you!!!!!❤😊❤😊

This was my first Bond. Also cool that Koskov was played by my Dutch countryman Jeroen Krabbé. I'd never seen a Dutch actor in a Hollywood movie before. He later played in The Fugitive with Harrison Ford.

One of my favorite Bond movie. The Astin Martin Vintage is probably my favorite car in all the franchise. The music score is great. Bought it when the movie came out.

The Bond movie I rewatch the most, along with From Russia With Love. The soundtrack is awesome, 007 is a badass for once and a believable spy, the Bond girl has chemistry with him, Pushkin (John Rhys Davies) is terrific and the pacing is perfect. The only criticism I have is that the 2 main baddies aren't very intimidating, especially Whitaker. It's a true spy thriller. And who knew The Pretenders would have 2 of the best Bond songs ever? I guess they knew the main villains weren't going to be great, so they wrote a theme song for one of the coolest henchmen. Necros is terrific. He should have been the main villain. It's got funny moments when called for, but doesn't go too far. Bond busting the balloon is a great character moment, where he realizes he allowed himself to get distracted by Kara (can't blame him) resulting in dire consequences. He's a human James Bond. He's not just a predictable robot. He's what the character was in the Ian Fleming books. Unfortunately, most people don't want that. They want a horny clown in a suit with a gun, no pun intended (even though I more or less enjoy Octopussy). What I love is that because it's more serious and realistic, when they actually do have funny moments, the jokes land better. It's not just telling a tiger to sit or doing ridiculous things that make no sense. Bond is back to being who he is - a cold, government spy with a taste for the good life.

That A-ha theme song is one of the best theme songs of that Bond movie series.

I actually saw this movie for the first time 3 months ago, and I remember just feeling so uneasy when he had the confrontation with Pushkin in the suite. Think I got goosebumps, and I was thinking, "Jesus, is he gonna kill him???"

"...and been winterized, for god's sake!" LOL

Dalton's done a lot of things, but mostly stage-work. He was Rhett Butler in some remake or something of Gone with the Wind, but for sci-fans, he was in the early 80s Flash Gordon movie (which really captured the fun and silliness of the 1930s serials), and he played Rassilon, the greatest Time Lord, in Doctor Who.
