[@pizzabandit1518]

Much like Timothy Dalton is the most underrated Bond, Necros is the most underrated henchman. Yeah, he may not be as memorable as Jaws or Oddjob, but he’s not supposed to be. He’s an absolutely ruthless assassin who can blend in before killing with absolute efficiency. The guy disguised himself as a milkman and successfully kidnapped a defector from heavily guarded British safehouse. This fight was the matchup building all movie, and brings to mind the Red Grant fight in From Russia with Love. A brutal fight to the death between two professional killers at the top of their game. And boy, did it deliver. So give more recognition to Necros, one of the most worthy adversaries in the Bond canon. He didn’t need a flashy gimmick, he was just great at what he did.

[@splatbubble]

plus when he snuffed it I remember everyone watching was like, "good." That's a good villain right there.

@@YDDES This is something they do on James Bond Productions. They get multiple airplanes to help with filming. For the mini jet in Octopussy, They had anothe jet that was similar but was four times as big called a Hawker Siddeley 127. They used it for longer shots so it was easier to see it was Bond's plane in the distance.

Beat me to it. Considering blue screen/rear projection was still pretty shoddy in this era, the modelling was a fantastic way to sell the effect. Plus Dalton did a lot more of his own stunts, selling the authenticity.

[@philjamieson5572]

Great scene. I think this actor is, in a lot of ways, more like the Bond of the books. He's a tad more emotional than the other screen versions, and, possibly, more vulnerable.

[@scottknode898]

Pierce Brosnan could play the role with more vulnerability as well including getting hurt and could his shock and disbelief when sees Alec in Goldeneye as comes out of by the statues as the head of Janus crime Syndicate. Brosnan’s Bond drinking heavily after knowing Paris was married to Elliot Carver and attacked by Elliots men as well finding Paris dead could see the saddened look on his face. Lazenbys Bond was vulnerable to as let Tracy into his life and wanted to get married and settle down with her before her death on their wedding day by Bonds nemesis Ernst Starvo Blofeld.

[@franklesher4459]

2:20 Kara: What happened? James Bond: He got the boot. In terms of real personal danger to Bond, few moments in the Bond series can top this one for sheer danger. There's no gadgets to the rescue, no help from an ally, he has absolute no control over anything, especially when the blond woman opens the back door on the plane & then starts tilting the plane upwards steeply. The sheer panic in Bond as he lunges for the net as he, Necros & the drugs all start to slip out of the plane is spine tingling. Not only does he have to hang on for dear life, he has to kill Necros within about a minute and get back into plane in order to make sure the bomb is off the plane or to potentially defuse the bomb if it hasn't slipped out of the plane. All this while the net is hanging by an ever increasingly frayed rope which is coming apart. But there's more. Necros doesn't know there is a bomb so all he's concentrated on getting Bond regardless of however long it takes hence him grabbing onto Bond's leg. Imagine the panic Bond must be feeling when Necros won't let go of his leg when the bomb is potentially ticking away about to explode.

[@jeffreypaul9502]

Add to that, Necros' cries for mercy in order to distract Bond. It's like we're meant to feel sorry for Necros, but then we remember the innocent people he killed earlier in the movie. Plus, he's dealing with Bond who KILLS people. No wonder Bond won't show mercy.

Dalton's Bond movies were great. This was more of an adventure than LTK but that one was gritty, intense and thrilling too. Wish he made more movies if it wasn't for the wait for GoldenEye. Dalton was better than Brosnan imo.

[@taliamason7986]

Dalton is a huge fan of the Fleming novels and you can tell in his portrayal of the character. Before Daniel Craig mostly in Casino Royale he was to first actor to actually portray the character pin point accurate to the novels. Its just a real shame the audience and most of the critics at the time were far too used to Roger Moore's silliness and cheesy portrayal of the character. In saying that however both The Living Daylights and License to Kill have been getting lots of praise in recent years mainly because of how similar they are to the Craig films. Imo he is either the 2nd or 3rd best Bond after Daniel Craig. Give it or take 2nd or 3rd is between him and Sean Connery.

[@jeffreyclinard2002]

This was an amazing Bond sequence. I was astonished by it when I saw the film the first time; there was nothing in the trailers or ads that had a hint of this sequence. It’s already an intense action sequence in an unusual situation, but the director understood suspense. Bond VS Necros at 10,000 feet was cool enough, but cutting to the bomb was almost Hitchcockian. Necro’s theme of “Where Has Everybody Gone” by the Pretenders has a fabulous remix for this sequence. Seeing him break down and beg for his life was fun. I know people wonder why he didn’t grab the net, but the fact is, people who are afraid tend to make poor decisions.

[@gabrielebillato9575]

Just realised that Necros was doomed anyway. Even if he succeeded in killing Bond and getting back on the plane, he didn't know about the bomb, and would have died in about a minute. Unless he heard the ticking and got rid of the bomb in time, which is unlikely. Anyway, this fight is one of the peaks of the entire 25-film-franchise. Every time I watch it I get so tense that I grab my chair with my hands, the same way they hold on to that net!
