Licence to Kill End Credits - If You Asked Me To - 24FPS

Credits from the 1989 James Bond film Licence to Kill, starring Timothy Dalton. Music during the credits is "If You Asked Me To" by Patti LaBelle.

I second that!! Dalton was fucking awesome as Bond

[@LexingtonDeville984]

TheAeroAvatar Dalton recently came second behind Connery in a recent survey in the UK, which just goes to show that he’s finally getting the credit he deserves after 30 long years. It’s still a shame he never did at least two more Bond movies before signing off.

[@TheAeroAvatar]

@@LexingtonDeville984 I'll say! They spent too much time spinning their wheels after LTK. Six years of no Bond? Blasphemous. One or two more outings would've made his run feel all the more fulfilled. But at least he's finally getting recognized for staying as true to Ian Fleming's personification of Bond as he was able to do. Dalton was probably the most grounded and most realistic Bond. He absolutely deserved at least one more go.

[@Fireglo]

@@LexingtonDeville984 The poll wasn't done fairly. It was done in knock-out rounds of 2. Round 1 was Connery vs Craig which of course Connery won. Round 2 was Brosnan vs Lazenby which gave Brosnan an inflated lead as Craig was already knocked out. Under regular voting polls Craig would likely be above Brosnan. Round 3 saw Dalton knock Moore out of the competition. Then the final pitted Dalton against Brosnan and Connery. The results would have most likely differed if say Round 1 was Connery vs Dalton, Round 2 was Moore vs Lazenby and Round 3 was Craig vs Brosnan. Connery would have knocked Dalton out, Moore would have knocked Lazenby out and Craig would have knocked Brosnan out. Thus the final 3 would have been Connery, Moore and Craig.

[@LexingtonDeville984]

J.J. Don’t take this the wrong way, but I think you’re just upset that Moore didn’t make the top 3 and Dalton did. Audiences had gotten way too comfortable with Moore’s slapstick antics in the 80’s. His era was like a never-ending party of camp akin to the Adam West Batman series, whereas Dalton’s only two outings were like having a bucket of cold water dumped on your head. You can only go so far with light-heartedness in the Bond movies, and Octopussy and View to a Kill are living proof.

"Licence To Kill" is definitely the last classic "James Bond" film, but if it had been the finale, then this was the perfect way to end.

[@edouardmoulin1269]

In many ways, this is the final of Bond. How you said, the classic Bond, the cold war was over and James, pulled out from IM6, have only one thing to do: staying with Pam Bouvier. After, Brosnan era rewrite and resettled in post cold war, and for Craig, they told his history from beginning to end.

[@shiptj01]

@@edouardmoulin1269 I like how that sounds.

[@christhornycroft3686]

It’s certainly the last film that feels like it’s part of the greater franchise that started in 1962. Obviously the Cold War ending changed things a lot and I wish they’d had more of a Cold War theme for this one because of it. Goldeneye started a series of films that were more or less Bond satires. Judy Dench has a great monologue about Bond being a “sexist, misogynist dinosaur,” but it’s clear that she’s parodying the past films rather than celebrating them. Even Robbie Coltrane’s casting reinforces that. The reason Bond has been hit and miss since 1995 is that once you take him out of the Cold War, what do you do with him while retaining the elements that identified him for so long. The Craig films tried to bring back SPECTRE, but the writing wasn’t good enough and we associate that organization so much with the Cold War that without it, we get a Star Wars storyline. Bond should be his own thing. Separate from other films.

[@jaybarnes6736]

The best ever

[@jeffkardosjr.3825]

​​@@christhornycroft3686About Coltrane, Zhukovsky. It seems apparent to me that the character Zhukovsky was originally supposed to be Gogol. But when they couldn't get Gotell, they changed the character's name. It's the same thing with the character Pushkin. So maybe had things gone a bit differently, it would have been Gogol trying to save Bond in The World Is Not Enough.

*Bingo. Great statement/judgement. Best Bond (Dalton), best Bond Girl (Carey Lowell) and best Bond film.*

[@christopherfoote4643]

My guess is they let Dalton take the pace if the film together because he wanted to take Bond another direction. I'm pretty sure the following movie would have married him off. Seems a reasonable premise. That's my read on it.

[@christopherfoote4643]

@@MattSingh1 a very good Bond film. He was likely leaning toward making her a permanent fixture in the Bond franchise. That seems reasonable.

[@shiptj01]

That's true. One of the reasons why I wanted to watch this movie is because everyone said it was so different from everything else. I am curious to see where it would have gone if Dalton had gotten one or two more movies and there wasn't such a hiatus between this movie and GoldenEye.

[@christopherfoote4643]

​@@shiptj01I suspect Dalton was much more than simply another portrayal of Bond. It's pretty clear to me he was taking it into another direction. The way this movie ends it seems pretty clear he was retiring. He was going to get married and settle down. It might not have flown with the formula many think makes Bond a character but Dalton wanted Bond to be an individual. He wasn't supposed to be a movie star. Dalton was going to take Bond into an entirely new direction. Carey Lowell would have been his spouse. They would have been like Jonathan Hart and Stephanie Powers. Hart to Heart. I can promise you that. I suspect Dalton quit after being told that it was GoldenEye. That's not what he wanted so he simply retired.

Wow, my thought exactly! I didn't feel like posting a nostalgic comment on the scene, but the very melody urged me to do so. I feel, that it's not just 1980s, but a very different epoch passing by. It was the last 007 film set in the Cold War era, with noone expecting the Iron curtain to collapse, thus igniting so many new events, motives, ideas, etc, which would later come up in newer James Bond films.

[@thesaeed55]

[@jane1975]

@Gray Fox[ROU]: Not strictly true, 1990 is still the 80's it doesn't become the 90's until 1991 technically. However I understand your loss of the 1980's ( I grew up up in the 1980's ). Things were a lot simpler then weren't they? and the music was the best -today's is garbage.

[@goncaloramos3509]

This ending has a sense of finality to it, it's like they knew this would be Dalton's last Bond film and gave him a proper farewell.

[@sickpup820]

He was actually scheduled to do 3 with Property of a Lady (1991/2 was meant to be the release) but the lawsuits and litigations happened because Licence to Kill didn't do very well at the box office despite it being a good film and a MAJOR rethink was needed and change needed to happen behind the scenes. This was the last film produced by Cubby Broccoli and directed by John Glen (Dalton was said to have had a major bust up with him) was really the last film with the old guard making it. So yeah Licence to Kill is definitely the end of an era for Bond as a major revamp happened once Barbara Broccoli took over from Cubby in late 1993.

[@anthonylewis2080]

Not only this is a criminally underrated movie (if LTK is treated like that, imagine TLD that barely gets a mention) it's a brilliant addition to the series. The main issues here are these : badly timed, wrong marketing with rivals such as Batman, Indiana Jones/Crusade, Lethal Weapon 2 and others, along with the tone being too dark - shame, as the film has its own version of Tony Montana, like Franz Sanchez, met a deserved comeuppance due to their own riches. As for the intro music and end, between Mr Michael Kamen, Ms Gladys Knight and Ms Patti LaBelle et cetera, certainly made sure that 007 said farewell to the 80's!.

[@mahnoorfatima331]

John Barry was a genius, but did Kamen fill his space!

[@WalsallGooner]

Totally agree with the marketing and release, they had to drastically change the title from License Revoked because viewers at a test screen confused it with losing a driver’s licence, the dark gritty nature and violence also altered the rating it got as well. Also, 1989 was a massive year for summer blockbusters, EON changed it so the future 007 films were released in November or December

And yet despite it all, License to kill was still a box office hit even if it was the lowest ticket seller of the 007 series and had bad reviews. It's budget was $36 million and it grossed $156 million, so it still was more than 4 times it's budget.

I would agree and even say it might be the most memorable ending to a Bond film. The fish winking is like a goodbye to Dalton and a goodbye to the 1980's as well. Dalton WAS James Bond and is the only actor to portray the character as Fleming intended. It's a shame people dragged their feet on producing a script for "Property of a Lady" which would have been Dalton's third film, it's a shame because Dalton had waited nearly his entire life (originally asked back in 1969 for On Her Majesty's Secret Service) and kept declining because he felt he was too young, and then he quit the contract in 1994 because no one was doing anything. Dalton was truly cheated out of his chance, but we are left with two very solid and strong entries.

such a brilliant song,to end this particular bond movie,with such ferocious action throughout,was such a class act....

[@iancasey704]

One of the best bond and 80s songs ! Timothy Dalton was a good bond he actually was but this song 🎵 is just amazing it really is I so wish I was a 80s child I really do what a decade that looked, but the atmosphere this song brings is beautiful.

[@collinsodhiambo3116]

My all time favorite 007 bond movie...LICENCE TO KILL.....

[@nike89h]

This has to be my favourite Bond ending. Perfect combination of a final scene (Can I say Dalton sounds incredibly sexy with his 'So why don't you ask me?'), the song by Patti and the credit sequence. Good way to end one of the best Bond films ever :)

[@philipfriend9737]

Absolutely beautiful ending to a James Bond film-thanks Patti and Diane Warren.

[@TheAliLeba]

One of the greatest James Bond movies endings. Dalton was the real deal!

[@militarymeagan9816]

This song gives me chills!!! Dalton was the man!!! So underrated!!!!

[@kdrayf01]

Patti's harmony with the background singers at the first line of the chorus has to be one of the prettiest sounds ever!

[@psifla99]

"An underappreciated Bond film that makes perfect use of Dalton's portrayal, with a taut and mostly plausible storyline." I said that a few years ago, I stand by it today.

[@mahnoorfatima331]

After 8 years, I think the same

[@Hunkzilla]

This movie was so underrated !!!! Dalton was also underrated as Bond!!! Carey Lowell is easily one of the most underrated bond girls !!!!

[@Hi-ok2yc]

Dalton is the best bond!

[@TemplePhantom]

This ending is just lovely, after what was an epic car chase. Great music, this felt like the end for James Bond completely.

[@stevenwilliams520]

this is the best james bond film that has been made. it plays just like reading an ian fleming novel. slower but with far more depth and character development. the more and more i watch this film, the more and more i love it. it is a stand alone classic james bond story and timothy dalton performs the part to perfection. every time i get to the final scene it gets more emotional for so many reasons.

[@TheKgr1967]

30th anniversary of this film next year, where has the time gone....

[@dylanburnley1840]

damn i love this song. im getting this for itunes.

[@lforce1298]

Oo man this song is soo good, Patty u a legend 😍

[@philipfriend9737]

Tim Dalton did a great job as Bond -Patti Labelles closing credit song absolutely brilliant!

[@atti97]

The Best and the Greatest James Bond movie. The End credits song is my favorite!

[@irina1296]

Very nice and original Bond song. Patti LaBelle's performance was awesome!

[@videointercepter]

Great ending. Great movie.

[@TheGodParticle]

One of my favourite bond films, shame Dalton didn't make many more.

[@colinmale3331]

This isn't a country club 007. When bond went rogue, loved it!

[@SleepExports]

Haha great line

[@JustinMacri007]

Colin Male M was way out of line besides his best freind nearly killed his new wife killed that can set a freind off.

[@JustinMacri007]

Colin Male he did not go rouge it's just his freind was hurt bad.

[@mia1shooter]

Very powerful scene...

[@JustinMacri007]

mia1shooter Thanks

[@EchoBoomer1987]

One of my favorite endings, because he ditches the rich chick, for the CIA agent that practically saves his life.

[@Trill104]

Feels good to come on KZbin and see folks that feel the same as I do about this movie. My favorite Bond ending. So peaceful...

[@AntonioRocco1984]

Trill104 yeah it's wonderful :)

[@Teachering]

Echoboomer1987 I disagree completely. That's the problem with most Bond films, other than perhaps "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" and perhaps maybe one or two others, they have sweet endings. I want an ending to a film that surprises and is unpredictable. A good spy movie - unfortunately, this has never been the case with James Bond - should have a touch of Film Noir about it. It should end with a punch in the gut leaving the movie goer in a sweat.

[@PungiFungi]

If you want a Film Noir, do not watch a Bond film. If you watch a Bond film, expect all the elements that make a Bond film a Bond film, including sweet endings.

[@dan290786]

Teachering well i disagree with that. Pretty sick of films making you feel depressed or shocked. A nice ending like this is what is missing in a lot of films these days. Daniel Craig’s films are too violent for me

[@stanleykubrick1472]

Dalton was the best Bond ever but the audience of the 80is wasnt ready yet.

[@gameroftheyear1000]

Well seeing as how Moore was the 70s and primarily the 80s bond it's understandable, Moore isn't a bad Bond but a different bond compared to dalton

[@ChimpManZ1264]

Moore got over used and relied on comical remarks in his last films. He was older than Connery so there was no more youth years between the two.

[@Fireglo]

Wasn't ready? Scarface came out 6 years earlier.

[@kirderf7222]

End of an era,

[@StuartTheGamerNerd]

man its epic stuff like this that makes me wish I grew up in the 80s!!!

[@jacobramirez4189]

On Her Majesty's Secret Service and Licence To Kill are 2 of my favorite 007 movies. 👍

[@marcopoggi5491]

...and "CASINO ROYALE" with Daniel Craig, is not the same type of James Bond movies?

[@lukasnummer1]

You chose two very unusual Bond entries! But why not? "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" is my favourite Bond novel, but I think the film is sadly brought down by Lazenby's bad portrayal.

[@ricardocantoral7672]

​@@lukasnummer1I couldn't disagree. I think Lazenby was fine in the role and quite impressive for a first timer. I wish he did more films.

[@ifilmstuf24]

this movie really takes me back to a better time. its very nostalgic for me

[@kp7234]

Dalton is hardcore Bond ever!

[@antoiner3820]

Definitely one of my favorite Bond movies. The song keeps reminding me.

[@henryhammond7393]

While I’m saddened that Dalton only got two movies, this ending is just chef’s kiss perfection.

[@davestewart2067]

Gladys Knight, and Patti LaBelle songs, book ended in the same movie. Incredible

[@samanthapatrick4345]

I love this song it's really nice to listen to I could listen to this all day

[@theefrankguy]

My favourite Bond movie!!!.

[@sickpup820]

LTK marked the end of Bond as people knew it back then. It was pretty much Cubby Broccoli's last film that he was involved with, Final film directed by John Glen. Even though it had "JAMES BOND WILL RETURN" many people weren't so sure as Bond was considered irrelevant by this point, so if Bond did return it wouldn't be a for a long time as this felt like a "Goodbye, for now"....then along came Goldeneye.

[@amarhassan7029]

One of the best
