Casino scene from James Bond: Licence to Kill (1989)

[@lasseplatburk]

Ironically, the movie where Bond resigns as a secret agent is the one where he actually acts like one, infiltrating the villains organisation and uncovering and sabotaging his plot from the inside rather than being captured by a villain stupid enough to reveal his entire plot before trying to kill Bond in the most inefficient way possible

“I will leave them in an easily escapable situation and then assume everything went to plan.”

It always confuses me why the villains tell Bond about their evil plans. My dad explained it’s because they think Bond’s in their power, and he can’t do anything to them.

Bond's plan was to assassinate Sanchez for the sake of revenge. However, his operations would still have continued without him. His plan didn't change until after his failed assassination attempt.

[@Aguz25]

Hola. Ricardo Darín, un actor argentino muy conocido en Argentina y España. Tiene películas salientes como "El secreto de sus ojos" (de 2009, que ganó el Oscar) o "Nueve Reinas". Te recomiendo ver algo suyo. En 2004 le ofrecieron un papel como latino narco en una película de Denzel Washington (aquella famosa en la que da la vida protegiendo una niña) y lo rechazó. Saludos!

Dalton’s Bond was really intense.

[@jerryhenson3916]

Intense is a good word to describe it. Dalton has always been one of my favorite Bonds for exactly that reason.

[@Agent_1701-D]

He was the right Bond, but at the wrong time. I state that since Craig is doing now what Dalton did then, and is being commended for it. We're accepting it now, but audiences were just not ready then.

[@LexingtonDeville984]

CBunye True - audiences weren’t ready for a realistic portrayal of Bond and still favoured the camp and outlandish tropes Moore was doing. When I was young, I always found Dalton too dark and brooding, but now I find him criminally underrated and intense. He was also, essentially, the blueprint for what Daniel Craig is doing now.

[@angelcastaneda529]

Personally, I love both the intensity and lighthearted fun of the Bond films. I think that’s what made the series last so long.

[@heyheyheyheyheyhey76]

Look at those eyes, Dalton was easily Fleming's Bond. Closest appearance from all actors as Bond was described in the books.

Dalton got a raw deal. He was one of the best bonds

[@CrazyLarry23]

Before he took the role of Bond, Timothy Dalton was concerned that he might become bored with the role if he played the same character for several years. Yet, that wasn't why Dalton left after only two movies as 007. It was in fact something completely out of his control: he was all set for a third movie in 1990, only for legal issues between Eon Productions and MGM to delay the production. "Because of the lawsuit, I was free of the contract," Dalton told The Week. The door was open for Dalton to return as Bond when the lawsuit was resolved in 1994, but he had decided he would only want to return for one movie. "[Producer Albert Broccoli] said, quite rightly, 'Look, Tim. You can't do one. There's no way, after a five-year gap between movies that you can come back and just do one. You'd have to plan on four or five,'" Dalton recalled. "And I thought, 'Oh, no, that would be the rest of my life. Too much. Too long.' So I respectfully declined."

Dalton's Bond was easily my favorite. Brooding, serious and though he likes the ladies - he doesn't try to bang everything in sight. Being able to have sex with dozens of beautiful women is cool. Actually having sex with all of them is not.

[@Agent_1701-D]

McRocket Dalton's 007 was a killer first, as was Connery, and as is Craig. Moore, Brosnan, and Lazenby were lovers first, opting to charm women to get information before killing a target.

[@jane1975]

McRocket Bond is meant to be like that, he seduces women, usually the killers girlfriend or associate to gain information - they also are complicit in the seduction as whilst he can be cruel and sadistic he can also be charming and the women always fall for him, often one of them will get killed for it. Both Dalton and Craig are playing Bond like he was in the books, only the audience wasn’t ready for it back then.

[@amarsbarr]

@@byronius57 are you joking? That fight was so childish and ridiculous and cutting his own shoe off was an easy way to not use skill in actually chucking his ass off the cargo plane, it was also cheesy when Dalton's bond throws that little punch in between the little rope patterned squares holding the cargo and then blows a whistle to kill the enemy at the end instead of a fight to the death to make it brutal. It was very very poor every so called fight scene

[@nickmattedwards]

Having watched every bond film several times I've always concluded that Dalton was the 1st of the 'real' James Bonds. Connery or Moore both of intentionally played the role a little hammy, yet Dalton played it straight faced and intense, very intense if need be. It's interesting to note that Brosnan's portrayal seemed to land halfway between Moore and Dalton. I love all of the bonds differently, as each actor played the role so differently. As far as Bond women are concerned I find it impossible to choose between CIA agent Kennedy aka Carey Lowell in this a film or KGB agent Pola Ivanova aka Fiona Fullerton and Stacey Sutton aka Tanya Roberts both of whom are in 'A view to a Kill'.

You see you would have to have been there to understand, 1986 Roger Moore was gone, Pierce Brosnan was in, Living Daylights pre title sequence already shot, THEN Broccoli fucks it up by firing him and replacing him with Dalton ALL because of a couple of weeks filming Remington Steele, Brosnan was Moore's natural successor, Dalton should have been BOND after him..

[@missyadams]

Brosnan was not fired, he turned down the role because of his commitment to Remington Steele. Dalton was asked several after Connery, he felt he was too young and couldnt do justice to Bond after Connery's potrayal. Moore wanted to leave after Moonraker but because Dalton, Brosnan and (believe it or not- Clint Eastwood and Burt Reynolds, who said no because they both felt Bond should only be played by British actors), refused, Moore had to finish his contract. Dalton finally said yes, as long as he was allowed to play Bond the way Fleming described. He initially agreed to do Goldeneye but after being told he would do the 3 additional, he said no. Hence Brosnan, who beat James Purefoy (Mark Antony in Rome) in the auditions.

Unfortunately the producers of that show intended to cancel it which left Brosnan clear to do Bond which he did, (he actually filmed the pre-title sequence in Gibraltar) until the producers renewed interest in him and due to the small print in his contract Brosnan could do nothing, A bit of bartering went on with them and Broccoli but Broccoli said no, "he's eather Bond or Steele, but not both" so with a broken heart (seriously, it crushed Brosnan at the time) Brosnan walked away... Tim Dalton was approached THEN and the rest is history.... At the time I followed VERY closely the Bond movie's and have to say the first time I ever connected Dalton and Bond was then..summer 1986. Obviously I saw him in other movie's but never heard of Broccoli considering him as Bond at any time. Pierce Brosnan would have been perfect as Roger Moore's natural successor at that time (mid eighties) He was a very handsome man with a cheeky glint in his eye then...(he had no tragedy in his life yet)

I think you're unknowingly giving credit to Dalton's performance. You don't infiltrate a global drug lord's organisation without taking a few hits and watching your back a few times. No matter how committed to the task you were, it would be a terrifying ordeal. The whole essence of this movie is danger; Bond is flirting with danger from beginning to end. He's got so many issues to confront- his own demons, his former employers (MI6) and Sanchez. Dalton's performance is exactly why he's my favourite Bond: it's grounded in realism. No disrespect to the man I'm about to namedrop, but you can't Roger Moore your way through this film and maintain its integrity. Dalton's entire performance- which I dare say is gritty, unforgiving, fatigued and intense- is the magic behind the movie. Without it, nothing would work. And for me, that's Bond.

[@Whoa802]

For me, his Bond often acts a bit too intense for his own good. Dalton is great at showing the nerves and anxiety the character's facing, but he lacks the subtlety and restraint that makes his Bond believable as a spy. I find it hard to believe that a guy with the constant intense look Dalton has wouldn't raise suspicions in just about everyone he meets. Craig was far more convincing as an internally tense yet externally cool spy.
