They should have left in the scene from licence to kill as that explains how bond gets his gun around the world on assignments

That timothy dalton scene in license to kill is the real james bond

"You aren't a... cricket fan by any chance, are you?" LOL

5:32 Fun Fact: Timothy Dalton was actually the first person to drop an F-Bomb in a Bond film. When Kara is driving onto the plane in 'The Living Daylights', he mutters a "Fucking Hell" (or something like that). Sadly, the roar of the plane's engines and the thickness of the plane windows means his words are inaudible. So does that render it invalid? Perhaps.

Did i just hear Sir Roger say "Fuck him?"

Since GoldenEye is your favorite Bond film, I can't believe you didn't include the deleted scene with Valentin Zukovsky and the counterfeit arms dealer. That's a great scene that makes Zukovsky just look like a total badass and also gives his "Walther PPK" line a bit of context.

You said "Sammy Davis Jr." But you wrote "Sammy David Jr." This is almost as funny as the MI6 or MI7 thing that M says in Dr. No. LOL!

I agree that the hotel room scene in LTK shouldn't have been cut. Dalton's my favorite Bond and that's a great scene, but the scene where Bond and Sgarky go spying on the wavekrest could've answered a few plot holes in LTK. First it tells how Krest's men found and killed Sharkey (Sharkey's boat was spying on them) and since Bond had a hat on (I know, this is a stretch) that's why Krest didn't identify Bond to Sanchez. Great vid, Calvin!

An unexpected but still very well made and enjoyable list! There's a deleted scene from 'Licence to Kill' where Bond and Pam are at the airport, where Pam introduces us to the characters of Truman-Lodge and Heller. I think it would have been better to include the scene as, when the characters are then brought up, we have no idea who they are and it hurts the film. I think that little bit of exposition couldn't have hurt. Also, it features the MI6 guy in the background and allows for some suspense. Although I kinda like the AVTAK police station scene. I love how Bond still has Red Grant's garrotte watch from FRWL and Moore even says "From Russia, with Love." I think it adds a nice bit of continuity.

Totally agree with you on Gupta. Why the hell did the director go through the trouble of getting Ricky Jay if in the end he wouldn't showcase precisely what he hired him for. Would have given the character more character as you say. That said, the extended scene where M briefs Bond in the limo contains a few lines which would have given Carver more depth. That should have been left untouched.

One top 10 I would like to see is the best scenes that aren't focused on Bond, where someone else is in the spotlight, could be one of the Bond girls, M or Q or maybe even John W. Pepper.

I actually really like Stamper, the way he's so upset about Kaufman dying considering he was his protege is hilarious, and then when he does everything he can to avenge Carver and the rest in his final confrontation is hilarious too. And I don't think the card throwing would have fixed Gupta. He was boring in the actual film, and the deleted scenes would have made him too gimmicky rather than boring. Give him a personality like Boris as opposed to a gimmick.

I was really excited to see how they were going to use Ricky Jay's skills in TND. Even with the deleted scenes, it's a pity they couldn't come up with a better way to make use of his talents.

I don't think Plenty was pissed off that Tiffany got Bond, I think she might have taken slightly more of an issue with Tiffany having her THROWN OUT A WINDOW AND ALMOST KILLED!

Love the video Calvin! You brought scenes to my attention I never know existed!

"Bond in his hotel, jacket off" sounds VERY like something else :D * 17.52

I agree about your 80% on deleted scenes. I'm a music addict (classic/progressive rock mainly), and I was way over the moon when older albums were starting to come out compact disc. A vinyl record can get you a couple of minutes over 40, but a CD can handle up to 74 minutes. So I was thrilled to get my fave music in a clearer and cleaner sounding format with new music added! Well, there's a reason why directors shoot way more than what is needed. It's the same reason why bands record more music than what is needed. I listened to a lot of this from my fave bands and came across no songs that should replace anything from the original album releases. In general, they are all highly paid professionals (actors / musicians / directors / producers / engineers / mixers, etc...). They know what they are doing or they wouldn't have lasted in their highly paid but highly risky careers.

I am a huge bond fan and i watch your vids and I'm starting to watch all bond films in order. Oh and your the best action,bond youtuber ever and keep up with your video's :)

I love CR so as you can imagine when the extended opening came to light I was thrilled to watch it, but I never really spent much time re watching it. I certainly agree to your point that it was for the best that it was left on the cutting room floor, the pace of that beautiful opening would have been absolutely destroyed by it. It's a bit like putting the French plantation scene into Apocalypse Now Redux, it completely destroys the pacing and as fine a scene as it is out of context, when viewed in context as it would be when its included, it only drags the overall quality down.

5:27 hahahahahahahahahaha good old Roger Moore, no wonder he is my favourite

Cracking Vid mate. Been watching for a few years. Love bond and never mis an upload.

Surprising there has never been a blooper reel for Bond films released yet.

Wish that License to Kill deleted scene of Bond in his hotel was kept in the movie. I love those little scenes showing Bond and his lifestyle. Such as the scene in Dr No where he returns to his hotel room and relaxes to drinking some vodka.

I think the most crucial deleted scene (albeit relegated to your non-released footage mention) would have been the scene directly following the casino scene in The World Is Not Enough. Bond has been ordered by M specifically not to sleep with Elektra and Bond tells her “This is a game I can’t afford to play” and then Boom, they cut to them in bed together... wtf?! I think it was absolutely essential to the plot to include a cool “Dr. No/Tomorrow Never Dies/Casino Royale esq” scene of Bond sitting alone in the dark in Elektra’s mansion with his suppressed Walther P99 waiting to see what freaky assassin Reynard is going to send to try and kill her, and she sneaks downstairs past Gabor and seduces Bond in a slinky night gown. To see Bond resist for a moment and then give in to Elektra’s superior seduction skills would have completely added to her character by showing that this was her “superpower” so to speak, and it would have sorted out what I consider to be the most glaring plot hole in that film! I think there actually is footage of it somewhere of them kissing on a staircase. Such a shame it was not added. Think the sex scene on the stairs in the Thomas Crown Affair. It would have been gold!

I think this guy's presentations, is fantastic, and he loves bond, and the bond clips, are great!

I personally think it would have been really cool if Connery stayed on for OHMSS, but then left, and Moore started off with DAF, hunting down Blofeld. That would be an awesome kick-off.

This has to be my new favorite channel. I'd love for you to do a video on the men who were almost Bond. Those who auditioned, screen tested, were considered, who you would have liked to see, etc.

Maybe it's weird to say this, but one scene I wish was left in the movie is the 5 second clip of the Aston Martin DB5 at the funeral of Sir Robert King in TWINE. It's always lovely to see that car on screen, and I'd totally buy it that Bond would arrive at a funeral in the DB5.

Love your passion for Bond. Subscribed!

If the criterion is, which ones are essential for the film's integrity, the #1 must be Plenty, especially the bit where she comes back after being thrown out of the window, because that connects her to Tiffany. We the viewers can fill in the rest. Of the others, the best are the ones that add colour to the movie, such as your #1 Gupta and the one where Bond watches Sanchez on TV while using Leighter's lighter. My favorite of the lot is Bond being released from the Paris police. I would have left out the Pantherish burning of eyebrows but kept in the part where he signs with acid and the page burns as he leaves, a nice touch.

My favourites have to be the police station scene and the Stacey scene from A View To A Kill and the Jaguar and Gupta's card throwing from Tomorrow Never Dies.

I whole-heartedly agree that the cutting of the hotel room scene of Bond in "Licence to Kill" is an absolute loss to the overall film. I think that what it does is gives us as the audience an even greater sense of what type - of individual Bond has pitted himself against: a man who wields celebrity as well as just his viciousness and his narcotics empire. Sanchez was supposed to have been such a strongman of this fictionalized Central / South American country, one man with such undisputed power with his hands in literally everything but, other than one scene whereas we see him paying off the President, I never truly got that sense in the film that he was. This scene restores that. Additionally, such a scene also gives us an opportunity to be reminded of Felix ' s lighter and furthermore bring it on home as to what Bond was attempting to accomplish and against whom this time on Sanchez ' s own turf. It was a perfect scene for Dalton's Bond; the angry glare, the smoking and drinking and the cocking of his PPK were all perfect. I think all of "Licence to Kill's" deleted scenes should have remained. Throughout the ensuing years, I always thought that there were several plot holes in the film that I learned had some answers in the deleted scenes.

Funny how they left out the Sammy footage but later had Wayne Newton for License to Kill

There were no scenes of Plenty actually going to Tiffany's home. When Plenty returns to Bond's room, there would have been an insert shot of Tiffany's driver's license (with her home address) in Plenty's hand. Then, later, when Plenty is found in the pool, Connery's line about her looking for Tiffany was supposed to fill in the gaps for the audience. My guess is that even this Plenty/Tiffany connection was seen (rightfully) as convoluted and tenuous so it was decided to simply let Connery's piece of dialogue stand as the vague explanation of the whole thing and move on.

It's midnight here. Was about to go to bed when I got a notification for this vid and instantly decided to stay up and watch it

I've always been disappointed that the criminally under used Ricky Jay was robbed of doing some card throwing as Henry Gupta. Never knew was actually a deleted scene. Thanks you.

I would have loved to hear Roger Moore say "f-ck him".

Man I wish Timothy Dalton did more Bond films. I love the movies, but the books are better imo, and he is the James Bond of the books.

Gupter has one of the best lines in Bond ever. His flat delivery of: "Government agent." Absolutely hilarious.

Nice vid, Calvin! Salutations from the San Francisco Bay Area!

I couldnt agree more with #1 and #2 great list Calvin!

Great list. 15:12 Lana Turner would have been 50 years old, but I bet she would have made an awesome Plenty...

I love the sam davis jr James bond delete screen is my favourite delete scene from diamond are fover

I was wondering when you were going to talk about the deleted scenes. You never disappoint.

Diamonds are Forever already has a convoluted plot as it is and leaving those Plenty scenes on the cutting room floor just further complicates an already convoluted plot. I remember watching the movie with my friends a couple of weeks ago and having to explain the gaping plot hole of how Plenty wound up dead in Tiffany's pool. I also was shocked that a huge Goldeneye fan like yourself left out the scene with the gun dealer at Zukovsky's club. The scene was very amusing and even Martin Campbell regrets not including it in the final cut.

Roger Moore saying "fuck him!" was brilliant!

I never seen the Dalton scene before it's very bond indeed.

Very glad that the Sammy Davis Jr. cameo was cut. Was feeling a bit too much like 1960's Batman when the Caped Crusader and Robin would scale the side of a building and there'd be a new celebrity cameo looking out the window...In fact, I think Sammy did do one of those cameos. Just a bit too cheesy. Deleted scene I'd like to see released: Miranda Frost and 007 in hot tub scene from "Die Another Day". Reason: Rosamund Pike.

"Sammy David Jr." -Calvin The Bond Reviewer

there is a scene in "the spy who loved me" I think in which bond is being seduced and setup by a woman and he kisses her. When the assassin is about to shot bond she screams "NOOO" and gets in the way killing herself for a guy she just met and kissed once and you think plenty is acting uncharacteristically for a bond girl?

I'm amazed by the amount of deleted scenes in the Franchise. I started a little dossier one year ago, and my team and I have already discovered over 100 sequences... Damn! Shame that everything isn't included on DVD.

Awesome list. Have you ever considered ranking the Fleming novels?

Hey, Calvin, if you're reading this, are your reviews of You Only Live Twice - Diamonds Are Forever going to become available again at some point? Are you redoing them or is there another reason why they're not out? I'm only asking because I haven't seen them and I would really love to. Both OHMSS and DAF rank very highly on my favourite Bond films list.

I absolutely agree about those Plenty scenes in Diamonds Are Forever. Until I first heard of them, it made no sense to me how she went to Tiffany's place, and what James meant by: "That was supposed to be you."

Great list, I agree with the Gupta thing that's my number 1 too. Ricky Jay is just really fun to watch, shame he never had many scenes in TND.

Jaguar and the carpet should have stayed. Lol

Hilarious to see the snow machine in FYEO is called. Zamboni. My doctor is called Zamboni 😂

+Calvin Dyson, thanks very much buddy! :) I know a lot of your fans interested in one of those countdowns but I think you and me both know the obvious pick for no.1. But still I'm very interested to see your other nine, and of course your honourable and dishonourable mentions. Thanks again!

Nice! Do a top 10 best Bond villains!

Plenty's dinner scene also contributes to the final scene where Bond exposes the Sommelier

An enjoyable video, Calvin. What was the scene you showed a clip of at the start, with Craig's Bond falling on the hospital room floor? Are you likely to do a video about Bond song covers in the future? Some great ones out there!

Sammy David Jr.??? Typo, Calvin!!!

You scared me there Cal, in the Dalton scene where you said, James Bond Jacket off. In America we don't use the term wanking, we use the term "Jacking off" and so, I had a good laugh over that. Yes, I agree that scene would have been better left IN!

Calvin, it started working not long after my reply last night. Thanks for checking. And by the way, get back on those MI6 boards, we enjoy your participation.

Interesting top ten list choice!

Been big bond fan since childhood seen tnd many times , never noticed the jaguar in the background 😹

I had not realized that was poor Plenty in that pool. Poor girl, not fair Bond always has to rack up at least one dead girl, that seems to be the point of an otherwise useless thing. And you are correct, it is a plot hole, since really, Plenty upset about Tiffany taking Bond/Peter? Ludicrous. Too bad too many women end up dead that way. He isn't that great a guy!

+calvin dyson you are probs the best you tuber ever!!!

Sammy David Jr.

You're in for a treat when you read TLD. I agree with most of your points in the vid. The cricket footage looks OK and adds to the pre-credit story, but I agree that it was right to remove it in favour of the sparser edit, one of the best sequences in a Bond movie, IMO. I want a novella from Plenty's POV leading up to her demise! One thing about the DAF deleted scenes - for some reason, Connery really does look a bit old in them. Maybe that was part of the reason they were cut? Maybe they could have included the last couple of seconds of SDJ's scene in DAF. I feel like that about a few of these scenes - they could have used a couple of seconds rather than trash the lot. For example, the Dalton magic carpet ride might have been OK if it was just a few seconds long. Yeah, I like scene with Bond drinking in his room, and I agree that it has shades of Fleming. I always liked the deleted scene from LTK in which Lupe sneaks Bond out as he grips onto the side of a speed boat. I like that scene and it's a good example of Dalton doing his own stunts.

I remember watching your review of TWINE and you mentioned how we never got to know what happened to Valentin. I saw somewhere on the internet mentioning that in a deleted scene Bond checks his pulse and he is dead. I don't know whether or not that's true but I hope that you reply or upload a video about it.

I enjoyed watching this video. The deleted scene in "Diamonds are Forever" shows that some plot holes aren't plot holes. Things can happen "off camera". Considering Plenty O'toole was thrown off a hotel balcony and missed being killed thanks to a chance landing in a pool jealosy seems the least likely motive for her to face Tiffany. A change for some payback seems a probable motive. It is an irony that a pool saved her and a pool killed her.

Glad they got deleted tbh, but great video! I liked the scene in GoldenEye with Zukovsky and the fake weapon dealer from Pakistan :P

When Roger Moore said the F word you can see the extras in the background smiling too...

Surely the first f-bomb in the Bond films belongs to Clifton James? It's completely drowned out by the roar of the engine overhead but he clearly mouths the words 'What the fuck?' during the chase sequence in LALD. As a wee nipper I was so intrigued by this that I hunted down a second hand copy of the book to confirm that he did in fact say fuck. So this scene was also my introduction to the fact that many of the Bond novels differ wildly from the films.

8:22 Now I really want to fly to Tangier to smoke hash 😂😂

Technically, Timothy Dalton was the first person to drop an F Bomb in a Bond film, it's just that you only see him mouth it rather than hear it.

originally as i posted elsewhere diamonds are forever was to have a gimmick.all the parts as its set mainly in vegas were to be played by vegas singers and entertainers!this was rapidly dropped early on but is how jimmy dean wound up in it and blofeld was to have been played by a famous singer whom i cant remember but who had cold feet at the 11th hour so charles grey was a very very late replacement .sammy davies jr was probably another who was part of the now discontinued gimmick.i think they had an idea to make it a bit like sinatras oceans 11 with real stars doing cameos etc thankfully wiser heads prevailed.diamonds was quite savagely cut and to this day the original movie has no explanation as to why lana wood is murdered.a lot of helpful exposition was cut apparently.

I'm given to understand (don't know if it was in any deleted scenes) that Stamper in TND was originally intended to have his pain and pleasure centers mixed up, so he felt pain as pleasure and pleasure as pain. It's in the novelization, but didn't make it into the movie, and was modified to use with Renard in TWINE.

Calvin reminds me of the character Nigel who appears in Never Say Never Again.

Bruce Cabot is in the Sammy Davis deleted part? Well if you have Cabot, forget Davis. Let's get King Kong.

Well, more like watching Bond how Fleming wrote him, it's AMAZING :D

The guy who plays Gupta wrote the book Cards as weapons. Plenty O'toole was played by Lana Wood sister of Natilie Wood who was married to Robert Wagner who on Hart to Hart was married to Stephine Powers aka Tiffany Case in the same movie.

Hey Calvin! Please make a top 10 Bond, James Bond moments. Counting down your favourite times he's uttered that iconic line.

Lana Wood, not Lana Turner.

I tend to agree that the scene from number five onward were generally worthy of being in their films. I particularly don't get why they didn't add the jaguar scene to Tomorrow Never Dies since it only lasted a few seconds. the deleted scenes from License to Kill and Diamonds are Forever on this list also would have improved the films or at least have filled in some plot holes. However, being the Dalton fan that I am, every time I see that magic carpet scene I become happier it wasn't included. Maybe I would have enjoyed it had this been another Moore film.

I ADORE YOUR CHANNEL! I am a Bond super fan. If you want to talk Bond, please just ask. I would love to talk to you! Your my favorite youtube channel!

Sammy, baby!

Very true!

Very nice video.. i knew all the scenes yet, but it was very interesting hearing your opinion on them. You are very right, the scene with sanchez giving the interview and bond prepare for action IS very flemingesque.. what a shame they threw it out of the movie. And your also right about Gupta.. not that he interests me much, but i always found TND a little bit flat.. hmm dont know the right words.. to smooth..a little generic. Perhaps if the added (or in this case, not cut out) a few character scenes, or scenes wich showed us some "not important to the plot" stuff, i wouldnt feel that way...(or not that much) (Sry my bad english..)

Fascinating list. It was nice make some sense of Plenty O'Toole ending up in the pool. I'm always keen to hunt down deleted scenes, but disappointingly/surprisingly I'm sure a lot of theses are not on my bluray editions. WTF?

There is a deleted scene I saw on KZfaq from toward the end of Casino Royale just after Vesper leaves the hotel to take the money to Gettler. As they go to leave and Bond sees them exchange a glance, he jokingly says, "Old boyfriend of yours?" And after she leaves, Bond goes to the front desk and gets Gettler's name. Removing this scene makes the ending more confusing than it needs to be. It would have tied in the scene with the man on the dock with one eye covered who exchanges glances with Vesper (when she looks confused or worried or something). And it would have given more weight to the text message Bond sees on Vesper's phone from Gettler, just as he's discovering that she betrayed him. When I saw those few scenes--minus the deleted scene--I was confused, because I didn't know who the guy in the hat with one eye was. I didn't know--when viewing the text message simultaneously with Bond--that Gettler was the one-eyed man we (and Bond) saw earlier and therefore I didn't know that he was the person Vesper was meeting. To my knowledge, Gettler was never mentioned before--anywhere. Throw in the fact that his left eye is fucked-up--like another bad guy in the film--and it's more confusing. I'm not saying the viewer should immediately know the significance of the character when Vesper first sees him. (That's an intriguing little moment.) But things don't tie in together as neatly as they could. When Bond and the viewer see the text message for the first time, the impact could have been greater. As it is, Bond, having asked the hotel clerk who the man in the hat was, knows something very important that the audience doesn't. It's obvious that it's something critical, something dramatic, and something that we should know. The level of drama that it creates is diminished by the confusion it creates. And it made me think I'd missed something earlier. "Who the hell is Gettler?" "I don't remember seeing this guy in the hat before now." "What's up with the eye? Is it le Chiffre? Isn't he dead?"

The deleted scene I would most like to see is Blofeld's demise in Never Say Never Again where he supposedly gets killed by his cat!

Just wondering Calvin what you think about the unused gunbarrel for The Living Daylights?

I could never deal with the loss of Gupta's scenes. Some future henchman needs the same gimmick to make things right.

Why did you not mention the deleted oil field scene from The World Is Not Enough ? because it was a really good scene that added allot to Elektra King's character

Sammy Davis jr had such a huge head ,wow...

It's certainly a shame that the Ricky Jay scenes were taken out. Perhaps if they were left in we may even have been able to play as a card throwing Gupta in "Nightfire".

The name's scene... deleted scene. The scene that I hope they dig out of the archives is Francisco "I Only Need One" Scaramanga firing a shot and missing, then reloading with a backup bullet stored in his belt buckle.

I don't know. I love that deleted scene where Mr. Wint kills Shady Tree.
